Par HINDEMITH PAUL. These canons now published for the first time document Hindemith's fondness of composing little parodistic works with a wink on certain occasions. More than 30 artistic postcard-sized works were written by the composer. In strict counterpoint, he used them to convey season's greetings, congratulations on birthdays and anniversaries, and thanks to friends, colleagues and cultura…

Christian Sinding's six Piano Pieces Op. 32 have become world famous due to third piece Rustle of Spring. Sinding's music combines late-Romantic tonal charm with mysterious Nordic cadences, also typical of Edvard Grieg or Niels W. Gade. The sometimes virtuosic character does not rival the complexity of Franz Liszt, meaning some pieces remain within the grasp of the advanced pupil. The whole opus, …

First Edition. Par ROSLAVETS NIKOLAI ANDREYEVICH. The piano pieces by Nikolay Andreyevitch Roslawez selected here and published for the first time complement the already published piano sonatas (ED 7941, ED 8391, ED 8392) and individual pieces (ED 7907). Created in the years 1919 and 1921, they represent the central phase of the composer's development and are characteristic of Roslawez' mature sty…

Edward Elgar's Salut d'amour is one of those pieces by the British composer that has a particularly haunting melody. Composed in 1888 for his future wife Caroline Alice Roberts, the work became an enormous success early on. There are numerous arrangements - but the only versions for which the autograph manuscripts survive are those for Violin and Piano (HN 1188), Piano solo (HN 1190) and Violoncel…

Ma mre l'oye (Mother Goose Suite) is typical of Ravel's style with its modal melodies, use of dance forms and rhythmic precision. For this suite, Ravel selected favorite French fairy tales with references to fantasy, dreams and legends of childhood, and provided simple and delicate settings for piano duet (one piano, four hands). Although featuring childhood themes, Ma mre l'oye is at the late int…

(replaces H 2552)Dvorak's Piano Quartet in D major, though composed at the height of the composer's artistic maturity, is to date unjustly overshadowed by his more popular works. It was written within the space of 18 days in the summer of 1875 and was later revised, probably in preparation for its publication. This revision, which was taken into account for the first edition issued by the publishe…

Passionskantate. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. The Carus critical new edition is the very first edition of the Grabmusik which is based on Mozart’s separate autographs for movements 1–6, and 7–8, respectively. The fact that the final movement also contains two horn parts which have never appeared in print is an absolutely sensational discovery. Now the work may be again performed using Mozart’s las…

Par DOBRZYNSKI IGNACY FELIKS. Dobrzynski’s Two Mazurkas are worthy of pianists’ attention. Despite the considerable simplification of means and the use of a conventional form, the composer succeeded in creating miniatures not devoid of charm, elegance and a certain unpretentious freshness. Their performance does not require advanced skill, so they may represent valuable additions to the repertoire…

Par DANCLA CHARLES. The studies by Charles Dancla (1817–1907) are more than mere technical exercises. They demand a special sense of tone, an elegant, softly flowing and swinging way of playing. They challenge the violinist in all associated disciplines, such as staccato on an up- and downbow, arpeggios, double stop passages and rapid passages. Apart from that, Dancla again and again seeks the sof…

Lindberg's writing in this concerto has been compared to that of the Sibelius violin concerto. According to the Boston Globe, the composer 'shows that it is possible to wed lyricism and virtuosic display with bracingly fresh sounds and musical ideas of substance?. Since the premiere in 2006 by Lisa Batiashvili the work has established itself in the repertoire, with over 50 performances to date.The…
