Aucun instrument n?est plus populaire que le piano. Chacun de nous a essayé de faire une gamme, même maladroitement ; tout le monde a écouté un concerto, même distraitement. Cette popularité, le piano la doit d?abord à la stupéfiante richesse et à la variété presque infinie de ses possibilités expressives. De Bach à Bartók, de Couperin à Liszt, de Mozart à Prokofiev, les compositeurs qui ont consa…

Par SIGHICELLI SAMUEL. J'ai écrit cette pièce pour le quatuor Arditti. J'avais en tête un son plutôt 'brut' du quatuor à cordes, à la fois percussif et soufflant. Plus proche du bois que de l'eau.

Après coup j'ai pris c…

No. 1-4. Par ULLMANN VIKTOR. Ullman‘s seven Piano Sonatas were written between 1936 and 1944. Though rediscovered as recently as 1990, they are now available in a number of recordings. Neo-classical in approach, the piano writing and the use of polytonality places them closer to Skriabin and Prokofiev than to the works of Ullman‘s teachers Arnold Schoenberg and Alois Hába – this applies also to th…

The poem is 'macaronic' (it presents a verse in English, followed by a varying Latin refrain). This new version follows the illustrious examples above by remaining strophic and presenting broadly the same music in a successio…
