Four Etudes on Songs of Robert Franz

Lowell Liebermann

Piano

110-41788 - Score - $12.99

See Inside (JPG)

Following our recent publication of Liebermann's Four Etudes on Songs of Brahms, Presser is excited to share the composer's Four Etudes on Songs of Robert Franz. While not as well-known as Schubert and Schumann, Robert Franz was a prolific composer of German lieder in the early-to-mid 19th century. Liebermann's etudes on four of Franz's songs retain the original works' charm and style, adding pianistic texturing and depth.

Chen Yi’s BAMBOO SONG is a powerful scene of optimism, inspired by artists who are self-disciplined and consistent, and who seriously care about nature and society. The composer writes: “Bamboo Song has characteristics of this quality. I use my music to praise bamboo, with simple thematic material from a Ba Ban tune... pure, noble, and profound. The sonority is deep and spatial. There is a long section of music towards the end using continuous fast notes to imitate bamboo flute playing in southern Chinese folk music ensemble music.” This fiery 6-minute work symbolizes indomitable determination towards an ideal future.

THE SOLITUDE OF STARS is a 5-minute work for solo piano. It depicts the composer’s awe at experiencing a nighttime view of the starry heavens, shining brightly over the vast expanse of the Wyoming prairie. The slow passage of time is evoked by slowly rocking eighth-notes, creating a gentle texture. THE SOLITUDE OF STARS is a powerful depiction of celestial beauty, technically within the reach of intermediate pianists.

Sonata No. 3

Richard Wernick

Theodore Presser Company

Piano

110-41833 - $21.99

See Inside (JPG)

Richard Wernick’s third piano sonata begins as a musical outgrowth of his first; what functioned as the fading away of the earlier work is now the impetus for a whole new piece, with its first movement titled “... a coda completed.” The second movement is just plain fun,“The Sunken Synagogue – with a Fiddler on the Roof” referencing Debussy’s The Sunken Cathedral, its piety interrupted by bits of scherzo-like “fiddling” perhaps more inspired by Chagall than by Tevye. The third movement, “Bits and Pieces,” takes fragments from the prior movements and develops them in fresh ways.

Stormy, Husky, Brawling takes its name from the 4th line of the poem Chicago, written by Carl Sandburg in 1916 when Chicago was the heart of the meatpacking and railroad industries. When bass trombonist Sun He commissioned Garrop, he mentioned a deep love for Chicago, adding, “I remember the first time I walked on the street in Chicago, by the corner of Michigan and Roosevelt, and how I felt the energy of this city almost brought my blood to a boil...” Those images inspired Garrop to write a piece that conveys the beating pulse of the city, as well as its grandeur.

With haunting compositions such as Syrinx and Faune, it is no surprise that Claude Debussy is many flutists’ favorite composer. The Sonata for Violin and Piano (1918) is a deep 13-minute work in three movements — a wide-ranging exploration of both modernism and the luscious beauty that infuses all of Debussy’s music. Denis Bouriakov’s edition includes alternate fingering tips for special veiled colors, and insights into his interpretation of Debussy’s magical effects. Bouriakov’s 2012 CD recording and later performances of this transcription have offered us glowing examples of his iridescent technique.

Remnants of Nine contains a playful mix of motor rhythms, pedal points, big boomy piano and percussion noises, and some tone-row theory. The source material for the piece is a fourteen-chord row of all major or minor triads (thus giving the piece a modal sound). The work begins with a slow introduction in which several melodies are stated as well as fragments of the chord row. After a brief pause, the work jumps to a fast tempo and shows off its themes and row via a mixture of pedal point sections and orchestrally altered versions of the chord row. The piece feverishly spins forward at full tilt through a maze of short, linked sections until it blazes its brightest in a no-holds-barred ending.

The two-movement VAPORS was composed in 2008-09, inspired by the composer’s visit to artist Constance DeJong’s studio. Leisner was moved by her large two-paneled Nitrate Painting XVI, and he has written: “You can feel enveloped by it and meditatively immersed in its cloudy or watery atmosphere, depending on how you see it. The more I looked at it, the more it gave me a similar feeling to watching a snowfall in which the snowflakes appear to be falling and rising at the same time. The first movement, Falling, came out of this sensation. Later, when I decided to add a second movement, Floating, I turned the work on its side in my imagination, and now saw a broad expanse of clouds or ocean, with spatial depth that was accompanied by a sense of depth of time. This image spawned the second movement.”

To the modern listener, Fritz Kreisler evokes the elegance, romance, and old world charm of the Viennese ballroom, with sweeping cantabile melodies and bubbly arpeggiated passages that delight audiences. Violinists are already aware of Kreisler’s rich, romantic, and crowd-pleasing repertoire for the violin, but he was a prolific composer and transcriber for cello as well. In addition to many audience and player favorites, Kreisler was famous for attributing the authorship of many of his original works to other composers, such as Pugnani, Tartini and Vivaldi. Only later in his career did he acknowledge that they were original compositions. When subjected to public criticism for these “musical hoaxes,” he nonchalantly observed that, “The name changes, the value remains.”

This Book Contains: Allegretto (In the Style of Boccherini) Andantino (In the Style of Martini) Chanson Louis XIII and Pavane (In the Style of Couperin) Liebesfreud (Love’s Joy) Liebesleid (Love’s Sorrow) Schön Rosmarin (Fair Rosmarin) The Old Refrain

Camille Saint-Saëns: Solo Piano Rarities presents six never-before published gems of the piano literature by Camille Saint-Saëns (1835-1921). Edited for the first time ever by pianist Geoffrey Burleson from the composer's own manuscripts in the archives of the Bibliothèque Nationale de France in Paris, these virtuosic pieces are full of the vigor, intricacy, and beauty so characteristic of Saint-Saëns' musical output. From the brief and impromptu-like unnamed Bagatelles, to transcriptions of two Meyerbeer operas, one grand and one comic, and much more, these works make not only a delightful, but also a substantial addition to the advanced pianists' repertoire.

Acclaimed by the New York Times, Gramophone, International Record Review, Diapason, BBC Music Magazine, and more, pianist Geoffrey Burleson has made Saint-Saëns' knuckle-busting oeuvre a major focus of his recording career, by recording his complete piano works, 6 CDs in all, for the new Naxos Grand Piano label. Burleson's recording of the newly discovered works on the same label is the premiere recording, hailed by American Record Guide as "an absolute must for anyone interested in Saint-Saëns or romantic virtuosic piano music."
