Par TIPPETT MICHAEL SIR. Like Robert Schumann who often favoured the horn, Sir Michael Tippett who died on 8 January 1998 makes full use of the instrument‘s tonal possibilities in this work. He translated the Romantic genre of horn quartet into a modern tonal language: 'All movements contain characteristic calls and triad arpeggios. Sometimes the call itself is the theme, as in the fugue. Sometime…

Par DAVIES TANSY. Nature, Tansy Davies gloriously offbeat concerto for piano and ten instruments from 2012, teems with invention. This 20-minute work was inspired by shamanic rituals and the supernatural, and Davies describes the piano as part moth, part Maenad . There is a feral quality to much of the tumultuous solo writing all hyperactive trills and gutsy bass eruptions, shot through with rare …

Duos für klassische Gitarre 2. Solo guitar arrangements of classical works are often so complex that they exceed the capabilities of most guitarists. Fabian Payr’s Duets for Classical Guitar avoids this pitfall by sharing the original work between two guitars. In so doing, famous compositions—from stylistically varied periods and for a range of original instrumentations—are in some cases accessibl…

Par FAURE GABRIEL. Gabriel Fauré’s Pavane is one of his most popular compositions. What is less known, however, is that the premiere of this stylized dance in April 1888 was actually performed in this present version for mixed choir rather than in the now more familiar orchestral version or instrumental arrange­ments. The text, in the style of Verlaine, sketches the carefree society of the Belle É…

Par HARVEY JONATHAN. Scena is a quasi-operatic scene either for singer and ensemble or for a singer-like solo instrument and ensemble. In this case of the latter the solo Violin proceeds through several dramatic events roughly signaled in the score as Lament, Mystical Event (the arrival of woodwind), Romantic Event, Dream (slow tremolando swells) and Metamorphosis (which takes and transforms a mel…

Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. In 2001 Bärenreiter issued a newly engraved keyboard reduction and solo parts to this concerto based on the acclaimed New Bach Edition. The present expanded publication goes a step further in that it offers not only the two solo violin parts as presented in the New Bach Edition, but also two additional parts with fingerings and bowings by the baroque specialist Andrew Ma…

They can all be found on one or another of Ben's four solo releases: Flux, Dust, Excavation, and Oceana. It reflects a broad sample of work involving the exploration of various harmonic, technical, and textural elements of th…

Cherubini owes his fame as a church composer primarily to the ?Requiem in C minor? of 1817. It was held in extraordinarily high esteem by such composers as Beethoven and Schumann and served as a model for early 19th-century Requiem settings. Dispensing entirely with solo voices, it captivates with its rigorous formal concentration and its restrained use of musical resources in both choir and orche…

For more than 200 years Mozart?s piano sonatas have been part of every pianist?s repertoire. Research done over the last few decades has made it possible, however, to establish more accurate dating and ordering of these works. Expert examination of original documents has shown that many printed editions from the eighteenth Century give more reliable detail than Mozart?s own written scores; many of…
