Par BENSHOOF KEN. From the composer: 'These pieces [24 Preludes for Piano] were composed without interruption over several months. As a consequent they exhibit a fairly narrow range in style and expressive intent, rather like a collection of short stories that take place in restricted time and location. I chose to call the set 'Preludes' partly because of the joy I still derive from sets with the …

Par BRIDGE FRANK. These three pieces were written seperately between 1901 and 1910 for cello and piano, but are arranged here for Violin and Piano. Three of Frank Bridge's more popular and familiar works from his early days of composition are included here and, although masterful and beautiful, are rather conservative in the use of traditional techniques. / Niveau : Assez Facile / Répertoire / Vi…

Par CHOSTAKOVITCH DIMITRI. Just back from a trip to Leipzig in the early autumn of 1950 where he heard Bach's Well-Tempered Klavier at the Bicentennial Bach Competition played by the Russian pianist Tatiana Nikolaeva, Shostakovich began his own series of 24 Preludes and Fugues, Op. 87, based on Bach's model. He composed them quickly, starting on October 10, 1950, and finishing on February 23, 1951…

This short piece (which also exists in versions for violin or bassoon and piano) was created for the 'Blues' project of the Dutch pianist Marcel Worms. The title maybe alludes to the fact that such a busy artist has to spend a lot of time on the road between performances. However, the composition is, by no means, melancholy. It rather is a lively piece playing with thirds mainly in a high register…

Par NORMAN ANDREW. Sonnets is a collection of miniatures for cello and piano. To me, these micro-pieces are sonnets not in the rigorously formalized Elizabethan or Petrarchan senses of the word. Rather, they grow from the term's older, freer roots in the Italian word sonetto, meaning 'little song' or 'little sound.' Each of my five little songs takes as its title and point of inspiration a fragmen…

Par MIRIC TANJA. The ten-hymn selection (including among others Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing and How Firm a Foundation) largely avoids chordal style harmonization, but rather employs the open strings of the instrument in a creative way to make the melody and accompaniment sound rich, vibrant and easier to play. Most arrangements are in standard tuning (with occasional dropped D tuning) and i…

Par SCHWEITZER BENJAMIN. The chiaroscuro-technique developed by painters of the Italian renaissance served to intensify contrasts and effects of optical depth. In Klar/Obskur, I tried to transfer the general idea of this technique on the rather unusual instrumentation of two double-reed woodwinds and piano. On the one hand, a clear, well articulated playing is characteristic for these instruments,…
