From Op.47, 107, 120, 126, 160 and Méthode de violoncelle. Par DOTZAUER JUSTUS JOHANN FRIEDRICH. Friedrich Dotzauer (1783–1860) learnt several instruments during his childhood, but decided in favour of the cello as his main instrument, as “only the violoncello evoked the unforgettable soulful alto voice of his dear mother” (Art. “Dotzauer”, Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie, 1877). He composed and p…

Kommt, Eilet Und Laufet. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Critical new edition 2004, edited by Ulrich Leisinger: Carus 31. 249; old edition, edited by Dieter Hellmann: Carus 31. 249/50. Parody of the secula cantata 'Entfliehet, verschwindet, entweichet, ihr Sorgen' BWV 249a. Like the Ascension Oratorio BWV 11, Johann Sebastian Bach’s Easter Oratorio BWV 249 is entirely and unjustly overshadowed by his t…

Par BARTOK BELA. Bartók's Mikrokosmos has been one of the milestones in pedagogical piano repertoire for 80 years - and yet it is also far more than a 'classical' piano primer. These 153 piano pieces, organized in ascending order of difficulty, engage not only with technical aspects of piano playing but also with the fundamentals of composition - from 'Imitation and Inversion,' 'Ostinato,' and 'Fr…

Early to Later Intermediate Level. Par AUSTIN GLENDA. Each piano suite is addictive! Austin's Jazz Suite No. 2 in B-flat Major (2001) remains hugely popular, but this collection also features the charming first suite in F Major (one of her first published pieces), as well as the exciting third suite, also in F major and originally composed in 2019 for clarinet, cajon, and piano.

Par SZYMANOWSKI KAROL. (VII) The Polish idiom appeared in Szymanowskis music in 1920, foreshadowing the beginning of a new period of creativity, later called nationalistic. Before this idiom was realised and such compositions typical of the Polish style as the ballet Harnasie, the Mazurkas, Stabat Mater, Fourth Symphony and Second Violin Concerto had been written, the change in musical thinking an…

Although Schumann's first attempts at composing for this supreme form of chamber music in 1838/39 were only fragments, the three String Quartets op. 41 in a minor, F major and A major were written in one go in June/July 1842. At the first private performances the audience was enthusiastic and it was Mendelssohn's praise in particular that occasioned Schumann to dedicate the new works to him. The c…

Par LISZT FRANZ. Volume 35 of the New Liszt Edition contains free arrangements made between 1842 and 1845. Transcriptions of works by Alabyev, Bulakhov, Glinka and Wielhorsky attest to the composer's journeys in Russia. Alongside them in this volume can be found two operatic paraphrases on themes by Gaetano Donizetti, a recently discovered transcription of Ernst (Herzog zu Sachsen-Coburg-Gotha), a…

Kurfürstensonaten. Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. Ludwig van Beethoven left us 35 piano sonatas actually. The three sonatas from his days in Bonn, published in 1783, do not have an opus number and therefore do not appear in the canon of 32 sonatas. However, these demanding early works are not to be underestimated. Their piano technique is challenging, particularly because of their differentiated articu…

This work is dedicated to John Fletcher, who gave the first performance on 24 April 1976. The concerto is in three movements, the first in sonata-form shell with two contrasting themes. There is a reference made in the development section to the opening theme of Vaughan Williams Tuba Concerto. Set as part of the ABRSM Tuba Syllabus. / Tuba
