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…

C'est pour un usage privé et de sa propre initiative que Dvo?ák écrivit en 1887 le Terzetto op. 74. Inspiré par le cours de violon qu'il entendait chez un voisin, il nota en quelques jours quatre petits mouvements dans lesquels deux violons sont accompagnés par un alto. Ainsi la partition n'est pas d'une grande difficulté technique, mais ses mélodies fluides et ses rythmes pleins de tempérament en…

As indestructible as Rachmaninoff's c-sharp-minor Prélude (HN 1211) may be, it is not his only Prélude to have begun a 'solo career? of its own: with its rousing rhythms and rhapsodic middle section, the famous piece in g minor certainly takes its place among them. Pianists who aren't yet ready to tackle the complete cycle of 24 Préludes (available as HN 1200) can still enjoy Rachmaninoff 'at his …

Par GIRARD PAULINE. En dépit de la popularité de ses ballets Coppélia et Sylvia et de son opéra Lakmé, Léo Delibes (1836-1891) reste largement méconnu. Le parcours exemplaire de cet enfant naturel, du pavé parisien aux ors de l'Institut, sur fond de révolution de 1848 et de guerre de 1870, mérite pourtant d'être retracé. Né dans une famille d'artistes, l'élêve peu brillant se distingue Dès sa sort…

In the summer of 1913 Satie once more poked fun at himself and the world of music with a set of parodic piano pieces on various marine animals, giving it the grotesque title 'Embryons desséchés? (Dessicated Embryos)(BA 10811). The atmospheric cycle 'Avant-dernières Pensées? (Next-to-last Thoughts) (BA 10849) of 1915, with its underlaid words, likewise belongs to Satie's 'story pieces'. The notatio…

It was to become one of the most popular British musical stage works of the century, and by 1791 it had also gained international acclaim. The question of why this pastiche comic opera was able to develop this special attraction can be described…

All autographs and printed sources including Skrjabin?s sketches and drafts have been thoroughly evaluated. The edition presents a meticulously edited musi…
