for Percussion and Violoncello. Par HUMMEL BERTOLD. In summer 2001, Bertold Hummel composed the present work as a commission for the 'Asiago Festival' and brought together in the grand dimensions of his 'Fantasy in one movement' - as he himself termed it - for the first time the instruments he had always loved much during his life. Asiago - the letters a-s-a-g, corresponding to the notes a, e-flat…

Par RESPIGHI OTTORINO. The Pines of Rome is Respighi's most notable and durably popular composition, and this transcription for band by Guy Duker has long been considered a staple in the literature.

L'argument de cette pièce est d'une rare violence sociale, le spectateur assistant à la transformation d'un homme quelconque au destin tranquille en un monstre de haine et de brutalité. Destinée à l…

Par EVERS HARM. In dieser Komposition entführt Sie Harm Evers auf eine Reise in das exotische Mexiko. Die fröhlichen Klänge bringen Sie mühelos in dieses sonnengetränkte Land der Siesta und - wie es diese Komposition ebenso deutlich ausdrückt - der Fiesta. Wie der Titel schon sagt, spielen die Trompeten in diesem werk eine große Rolle. Diese können in einem dreistimmigen Zusammenspiel ihr Fähigkei…

Par PLOWMAN LYNN. Inspired by J. M. Barrie's Peter Pan, this work for piano duet sees one player seated at the keyboard and the other playing on the strings inside the piano. The otherworldy soundscape emerges from a variety of finger plucking and percussive tools struck on the undamped strings./ Répertoire / Piano 4 Mains
