C'est un hymne triomphant qui se manifeste, dès les premières mesures. Un rêve qui se fraye un chemin vers une lumière étincelante. Le thème subit des transformations, parce que le rythme au piano qui l'accompagne se renforce, il semble s'amuser à son contact. C'est un élément de surprise permanant, le piano tente, en vain, de déséquilibrer ce thème, pour le faire trébucher. / Trompette En Ut Ou S…

Par MOSZKOWSKI MORITZ. Moszkowski\'s 12 etudes for the left hand, op. 92, are of high difficulty. The technical tasks are varied, and this album in particular focuses on chord breaks, \'thumb melody\' and fluency. All studies are characterized by a good piano movement and manageable length, which encourages concentrated practice. A great addition to the well-known \'Essential Exercises\' series, c…

Par CURNOW JAMES. The final bars of CENTURIONS take Grade 1 music to new heights of excitement! Artful composition for the first year band with limited ranges and rhythms makes this one you’ll use again and again. Some easy use of 16th notes (for the Snare Drum only) helps to generate that extra bit of energy that lifts this one over the top while keeping the Percussion parts interesting for the p…

Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. Beethoven completed his String Quartet Op.135 at Wasserdorf Castle in Gneixenhof, where he sought to recuperate with his nephew Karl after the latter?s failed suicide attempt in summer 1826. It stands out among his late quartets owing to the often cheerful, almost pastoral character of its four movements. Since Beethoven?s death it has often been interpreted as an attempt…

What would a creepy piece be if not in a minor key? Managed through the use of accidentals, this mysterious-sounding piece is actually in B-flat minor through a concert B-flat major key with the addition of accidentals. Great time to reinforce the concept that accidentals last a whole measure. With careful attention to dynamics and articulations, you're certain to have a spooktacular performance! …

Par DOTZAUER JUSTUS JOHANN FRIEDRICH. Dotzauer études have been part of the standard repertoire in cello lessons for generations. Friedrich Dotzauer (1783-1860) was among the major cellists and cello pedagogues of the 19th century and knew what makes a good étude: it should deal specifically with a certain technical problem and at the same time not be monotonous, but musically appealing. The celli…

Par HEIDSIECK ERIC. « Cet hommage est né sur le bord du Rio Negro au Brésil un 14 juillet à Manaus où je jouai notre Hymne national en bis. Désirant par la suite approfondir la richesse exceptionnelle de ce thème, “le plus beau de la musique française” disait Sviatoslav Richter, je rajoutai au fil des ans des variations qui forment un ensemble. Le rappel des compositeurs n’est pas toujours chronol…
