2 Pianos,4 Hands,Piano Duet - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1369322 Composed by Johann Simon Mayr. Arranged by Fabrizio Capitanio. 19th Century,Classical,Instructional,Opera,Romantic Period. Score. 92 pages. Artistic Score Engraving di Galvagno Michele #953678. Published by Artistic Score Engraving di Galvagno Michele (A0.1369322). Johann Simon Mayr (1763—1845) is a composer rarely performed today. His music, reflecting the transition from the Classical to the Romantic musical era, inspired Rossini and was crucial in the development of Donizetti’s style. He became a central figure in the musical life of the Italian city of Bergamo where, in 1805, he founded the Conservatory, at the time known as “Lezioni Caritatevoli di Musica�. One of the first pupils of the “Lezioni� was Gaetano Donizetti, whose production and fame soon arose above everyone else’s. The first concerto, in C major, is one of the three surviving keyboard concertos from Mayr’s manuscripts kept in the Biblioteca Musicale Gaetano Donizetti and in the Museo Donizettiano. It is pedagogical in nature, its light orchestration (only 2 oboes and 2 horns joining the strings) allowing it to be performed with minimal forces. In three movements, spanning about 18 minutes in total, it looks back at a late Classical style that was quickly fading out of fashion at the time of its creation (1825-6).This edition comes with the unique contribution of M° Fabrizio Capitanio, in the form of a thorough musicological research delving deep into the historical context, and all of the critical aspects that made this work possible. M° Capitanio also realised the reduction for two pianos for this title (ASE 0051).The full score is available under Catalogue N° ASE 0047, while orchestral parts can be found as a bundle under Catalogue N° ASE 0053.This edition is also the first one in the new series dedicated to the City of Bergamo: La Bergamasque!

Piano or 2 pianos (4 hands) - difficult - Digital Download SKU: S9.Q17510 Prelude. Composed by Richard Wagner. The Virtuoso Piano Transcription Series. Downloadable. Op. 6. Duration 10 minutes. Schott Music - Digital #Q17510. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q17510). With the prelude to the Mastersingers we now publish the second of three Wagner transcriptions already made legendary by Gould's 1973 recording. Gould brought Wagner's 'brilliant counterpoint' to life with the help of recording technology, by superimposing a second, supplementary part over an initial recording. For live performances it is therefore preferable to have two pianists playing the piece on two pianos, rather than the piano solo version which is made possible with some cuts.Den glanzvollen Kontrapunkt Wagners realisierte Gould mit Hilfe der Aufnahmetechnik, indem er eine erste Aufnahme mit einem ergänzenden zweiten Teil überblendete. Für Aufführungen ist daher eine Ausführung an zwei Klavieren zu vier Händen einer mit Abstrichen möglichen Realisierung zu zwei Händen vorzuziehen.

2 pianos - difficult - Digital Download SKU: S9.Q563062 Concert vesion for two pianos by Ingolf Dahl. Composed by Igor Stravinsky. Arranged by Ingolf Dahl. Downloadable. Duration 20 minutes. Schott Music - Digital #Q563062. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q563062). Igor Strawinsky schrieb die Danses concertantes ursprünglich für ein in Kalifornien ansässiges Unterhaltungsorchester. Die fünf Sätze sind allerdings mehr als rein orchestrale Tänze. Das Stück erinnert an eine Ballettsuite. Die beiden Märsche zu Beginn und am Ende untermalen Auftritt (Prolog) und Abgang (Epilog) der Tänzer, wobei zwei der mittleren Sätze – „Pas d’action“ und „Pas de deux“ – offenkundig auf das Ballett anspielen. Die Bearbeitung für zwei Klaviere von Ingolf Dahl ist nicht nur eine Reduktion des Orchestersatzes, sondern ganz bewusst als eigenständige Konzertfassung gedacht.
