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…

Giulio Briccialdi (1818-1881) has been one of the major European flutists of the Nineteenth Century. Praised by coeval critics as 'the first among the living flutists? in a period when virtuosos were reaching extraordinary levels, Briccialdi was a unique artist with a quintessentially Romantic personality. His refined activity as a composer is nowadays mostly known thanks to his paraphrases on ope…

For Flute, Clarinet In Bb, Harp, and String Quartet. Par LASH HANNAH. Form and Postlude is a piece in one continuous movement but with a distinct postlude which ends the work. I play throughout with the idea of pacing on many levels: the largest level is the idea of proportion of sections to one another, then harmonic rhythm (in the broad sense), then harmonic rhythm on a more local level, and of …

Par SCHUBERT FRANZ. The series of symphonies in the New Schubert Edition is a milestone of modern scholarly-critical editing, lending these works a transparency lacking in earlier editions of a more romantic bent. The eight symphonies trace Schubert's artistic evolution from the First Symphony, which develops a theme from Beethoven's Eroica, to the Mozartean Fifth and the romanticism of the 'Great…

 Textes réunis et édités par Jérôme RossiPréface de Danièle Pistone? On ne peut que s'étonner qu'un sujet aussi important - les relations entre l'un des principaux compositeurs anglais et un pays qui l'accueillit pendant plus de quarante-cinq ans - n'ait jamais été évoqué de notre côté de la Manche, A ce jour, l'ouvrage biographique de référence reste Delius, The Paris Years, un livre du musicolog…

Par WENNAKOSKI LOTTA. Lotta Wennäkoski's Pige (2021-2022) for string quartet was commissioned to be paired with the Death and the Maiden quartet by Franz Schubert ('pige' is Danish for girl). The composer tells: 'The first movement Vorüber, ach, vorüber! is based on the first half of Schubert’s lied lying behind his The Death and the Maiden quartet. The ”maiden’s song” in the beginning of the li…

Par BARTOK BELA. Béla Bartók?s six string quartets, composed between 1908 and 1940, are 20th-century milestones of the genre. His First String Quartet is closely linked to his unhappy love for the violinist Stefi Geyer, to whom he sent the initial measures of its first movement in early 1908 with the remark: ?My song of death?. When he completed all three movements of the work a year later, he had…
