Par YAGISAWA SATOSHI. Satoshi Yagisawa’s Trombone Concerto is both impressive and original at the same time. It features a slow-fast-slow structure with each movement being connected to the next. The second movement, with its rich choralelike writing, is especially noteworthy, bringing out the warmest and most delicate sounds of the trombone. Yagisawa also takes extreme care in how the soloist and…

Par ADES THOMAS. In Three Studies from Couperin, Thomas Adès empathetically reworks three pieces by the Baroque composer into music that is distinctively Adès without dismissing the source material. The basic structures of harmony and duration in ?Les Amusemens?, ?Les Tours de Passe-passe?, and ?L?Âme-en-Peine? remain unchanged, but the retouching of rhythm, texture and orchestral colours reveals …

20 Easy to Intermediate Pieces from four Centuries. Par NEUMANN EVA-MARIA (Arr.). Making music in a quartet uniquely nurtures young string players’ musical development, ensemble playing, listening to each other, and intonation. So, what could be more obvious than introducing the scoring of this genre, often referred to as chamber music’s supreme discipline, as early as possible. Indeed, composers…

Brahms Opus 40. Par BRAHMS JOHANNES / HOUBEN KEVIN. Johannes Brahms peut être considéré comme l\'un des meilleurs compositeurs de musique de chambre du XIXe siècle. Il était un géant dans ce domaine et un digne successeur de Beethoven et de Haydn. Le Trio en Mib opus 40 pour piano, violon et cor naturel est un chef-d\'?uvre de sa musique de chambre. En 1865, l\'année de ce trio, la mère de Brahms,…

Brahms had already announced his ?retirement' from composition when in the spring of 1894 he played chamber music with the cellist Robert Hausmann and the clarinettist Richard Mühlfeld. This encounter apparently renewed his enthusiasm for Mühlfeld's much admired playing and inspired him to write two clarinet sonatas in the summer of the same year. It remains unclear when exactly Brahms drafted vio…

À l'été 1894, Antonín Dvo?ák interrompt son séjour aux Etats-Unis pour passer ses vacances d'été en Bohême, son pays natal. C'est durant ces semaines heureuses qu'il écrivit ses huit Humoresques pour piano, lesquelles ne sont pas 'bohémiennes' pour autant, comme on aurait pu l'imaginer. Le compositeur avait d'ailleurs déjà esquissé une partie de la musique à New York, et il semble qu'il avait tout…

18 first pieces for young beginners. Par RAE JAMES. Child's Play by James Rae provides the simplest possible little performance pieces, almost from a pupil's first lesson.

Mostly original pieces, sprinkled with some old favourites, they introdu…
