He founded a quartet, which took part in international jazz festivals, and earned distinctions for his compositions. There are numerous recordings dating from this period. He gained wide experience in solo and band playing with various groups, such as the Vienna Art Orchestra, and with well-known musicians including Heiri Känzig, Joris Dudli and Peter Ponger. Since 1982 he has lived in Switzerland, where he teaches clarinet and saxophone and trains several jazz groups.

Roman Maciejewski (born 1910) studied composition at the Academy of Music in Warsow. Expoelled from the Academy for organising a strike in protest againstthe removal of Rrector Karol Szymanowski, he continued his studies in Paris. The Piano Triptych was written in 1932 while he was still studying in Warsaw. The whole cycle breathes youthful passion, freshness and unpretentious authenticity.
The piano Triptych was written in 1932, during the composer's studies with Kazimierz Sikorski in Warsaw. The Triptych consist of Preludium (Adagio), Intermezzo (Adagio) and Fugue (Allegro ma non troppo).

The 29 etudes in this book are taken from Carl Czerny's The Little Pianist, Opus 823. These engaging etudes are comparable to their famous older brothers, the studies found in The Art of Finger Dexterity, but are written for students at an earlier stage of study. They encompass a wealth of technical and music instruction from this master teacher of the Classical period, indeed, the world's first great piano pedagogue. The etudes focus on developing both technical and music skills, providing an excellent stylistic and technical resource for the intermediate pianist. Preceding each etude or group of etudes is a worksheet divided into three sections: Practice Tips, Quick Quiz and Creative Corner. These worksheets help students focus on the important technical features in each etude, apply practical music theory to their study of the music, and vary the etudes in creative ways. Czerny - Selections from The Little Pianist, Opus 823 is available in book/CD format (00296363) or as a book alone (00296364). A separate General MIDI accompaniment disk is also available (00296365). CD and GM accompaniments were created by Phillip Keveren. Also see Hanon for the Developing Pianist in the Hal Leonard Student Piano Library Technique Classics series.

Through the collection we wish to recall the most interesting and creative arrangements of Chopin's music made over the last hundred and fifty years. In restoring transcriptions of studies, mazurkas, waltzes or preludes to the repetory we will also show how important a source of inspiration was the music of Chopin, a great Romantic, inspiring artist and a composer of genius.

Schirmer Performance Editions are designed for piano students and their teachers as well as for professional pianists. Pedagogical in nature, these editions offer insightful interpretive suggestions, pertinent fingering, and historical and stylistic commentary. Prepared by renowned artists/teachers, these publications provide an accurate, well-informed score resource for pianists. Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) is renowned for his large-scale, innovative piano sonatas and concertos, and these works hold a prominent and lasting place in the concert repertoire. Yet nestled beneath the larger works for which he is most often lauded lies a vast collection of short piano solos that he crafted throughout his career. These miniatures often display the same careful writing and attention to detail as his longer works. Some were actually intended as pedagogical studies; many derive their style from the popular dance music of the period and reflect Beethoven's love of simple, everyday pleasures.

The study Le Api for oboe and piano was first published in 1905 and was dedicated to the "Conservatorio di Musica di Palermo". Some similitarity to Rimskij-Korsakov's Flight of the bumble-bee may be apparent, as both composers give a sound picture of insects; however, Pasculli wrote his piece before Rimskij-Korsakow. From a postscript to the third study we learn that the three characteristic studies were first performed in the big hall of the "Conservatorio di musica" in Milan on July 14, 1874. The long legato ties can only be played with "circular breathing technique", however, even without this breathing technique the study can be played in sections and this way is a most valuable technical exercise.

Tauromaquia (Holt Simon)

"Ne' giorni tuoi felici" to duet na sopran, tenor i orkiestrę Ludwika van Beethovena. Powstawał on w latach 1802 - 1803. Odnaleźć w nim można wyraźne wpływy studiów z kompozycji wokalnych, jakie pobierał Beethoven u włoskiego pedagoga - Antonia Salieriego. W czasie nauki u niego, Beethoven stworzył wiele utworów wokalnych. Traktował je jednak wyłącznie jako ćwiczenia, o czym świadczy fakt, że nigdy nie zabiegał o wydanie ich drukiem. W duecie "Ne' giorni tuoi felici" wyraźnie uwidacznia się dojrzałość Beethovena oraz jego niezależność wobec nauczyciela. Na rękopisie kompozycji nie odnaleziono bowiem żadnych śladów poprawek Salieriego. Niniejsze wydanie jest partytura duetu w opracowaniu na sopran, tenor oraz fortepian (wyciąg fortepianowy z partii orkiestry).

Publikacja (część 2.) zawiera 14 cykli wariacji fortepianowych Ludwiga van Beethovena. Są to wariacje na tematy znanych utworów różnych kompozytorów, m. in. na temat "Menuett a la Vigano" z opery "La Molinara" G. Paisiello, czy też na temat "La stessa, la stessissima" z opery "Falstaff" A. Salieriego.

Prezentowany zbiór zawiera 60 pieśni na głos wokalny wysoki (sopran lub tenor) z towarzyszeniem fortepianu, różnych kompozytorów. Pieśni w zbiorze uporządkowane są chronologicznie, według daty ich powstania. Są to pieśni kompozytorów żyjących na przestrzeni lat 1685 - 1916. Kompozytorem pierwszych, nieanonimowych pozycji jest Jan Sebastian Bach, a ostatnie pozycje natomiast skomponował Max Reger. Stąd często podtytuł ''Od Bacha do Regera''. Publikacja zawiera utwory skomponowane typowo w celu kształcenia aparatu wokalnego wykonawcy.

Robert Schumann był niemieckim kompozytorem i pianistą okresu romantyzmu, żyjącym w latach 1810 - 1856. Zbiory ''Etiudy op. 3'' i ''Etiudy koncertowe op. 10'' dedykowane są Paganiniemu. Wcześniej Nicolo Paganini dedykował Schumannowi swoje ''24 Caprices, Op. 1'', Schumann w podzięce i jako wyraz głębokiego uszanowania skomponował etiudy op. 3 i etiudy koncertowe op. 10 na tematy Paganiniego. Etiudy wymagają od wykonawcy doskonałej techniki w grze na fortepianie.

Głównym założeniem niniejszych Etiud Maxa Pauera jest udoskonalenie techniki palcowania prawej i lewej ręki podczas gry na fortepianie. Książka podzielona jest na 5 głównych rozdziałów:
1 - obejmuje wstępne ćwiczenia na 2-gi, 3-ci, 4-ty i 5-ty palec w ruchu rotacyjnym;
2 - ćwiczenia dwudźwięków na obie ręce;
3 - ćwiczenia kciuka;
4 - ćwiczenia na płynne zmienianie pozycji;
5 - przykłady ćwiczeń o charakterze z rozdziałów 1 - 4.

Nowa edycja utworów fortepianowych Johannesa Brahmsa. Utwory te są rezultatem długoletniej pracy kompozytora, oraz doświadczeń zebranych dzięki trasom koncertowym po całym świecie. Wśród nich znajdziesz trzy Sonaty op. 1, 2 i 5.
