Various/ed. Hinson
ALFRED PUBLISHING
This comprehensive anthology offers intermediate to early
advanced works by 37 composers. It features an up-to-date, comprehensive
survey of piano music written in the late 19th and early 20th centuries;
works in their original form with clearly identified editorial markings;
a spaciously engraved score for easy reading; and a useful, extensive foreword
containing historical information and performance notes. The accompanying
DVD covers music from approximately 1890 to 1914. Dr. Hinson presents a
fascinating lecture on the dramatic changes that composers wrought during
the early 20th century. Music by Bartok, Debussy, Joplin, Grainger, Hindemith,
MacDowell, Coleridge-Taylor, Satie, Schoenberg and more are performed in
context of the performance challenges and stylistic explorations of the
period. Approximately one hour. Full color.
A superb collection of piano arrangements
by the master of the Tango himself! There are twenty-eight unique arrangements
in this collection including, Romantico Idilio, Adios Nonino, Buenos
Aires hora cero, and El mundo de los dos, to name a few.
Alexander Tcherepnin's (1899-1977) Bagatelles are among his finest and most popular keyboard works. The 10 miniatures each span only two to four pages, yet are filled with a variety of mildly contemporary techniques. The more brilliant pieces help to develop a rapid finger technique, while the lyrical works are studies in the balance of melody and accompaniment figures. Lynn Freeman Olson's edition is carefully researched and includes helpful study notes.
Transcribed by Margaret Leng Tan from the
composer's original 1944 painting, Chess Pieces is a through-composed
score consisting of 22 systems of music. No specific instrumentation
was indicated on the painting. This edition for solo piano
is, technically, quite easy. The painting is shown on the front and
back covers of this solo sheet.
