Le bal is from the collection of 12 piano duets Jeux d’enfants by G. Bizet published in 1871 as his Opus 22.
The playback tempo in the realisation is 184 eighth note (quaver) beats to the minute which is a very challenging tempo to say the least! There are no tempo changes indicated in the score.
The full range of the piano is explored in the arrangement in terms of pitch, articulation & dynamics.
This is a fast & furious piece of music full of fun, energy and joy that needs to be played confidently and as close to the suggested tempo as possible.
Accompaniments are in place featuring both the primo & secondo parts sounding separately. They play at 136, 148, 160, 172, and 184 eighth note or quaver beats to the minute.
Le bal is described as a galop which is a spirited and quick round dance with two quarter note or crotchet beats to the bar. Whilst it’s origins were German it became popular as a 19th century ballroom and orchestral dance particularly in Paris and Vienna. It is named after the galloping gait of a horse and as a round dance repeating sections alternate with contrasting ones. They are usually short pieces short especially when danced because of their high energy requirements and are performed as the final item of an evening
Georges Bizet was a French romantic composer whose life was tragically short. He died before being able to enjoy the success of his most successful & famous composition the opera Carmen.
His musical talents were deserving of a much more successful career.
Whilst a brilliant student from a very early age with ambitions & gifts suggesting that he should become an opera composer he found it difficult to pursue a career as a composer having to work as a rehearsal pianist and arranger of music that wasn’t his own.
One of the ironies of his life is that whilst a gifted pianist he rarely performed in public and chose not to pursue it as a career option. Even Liszt rated him very highly possibly considering him close to being an equal
Winning the Prix de Rome in 1857 enabled Bizet to live and work in Italy for 3 years although when he returned to Paris he found that works by newcomers like himself were not readily welcomed by audiences that favoured the established classical repertoire of the past
Most of Bizet’s compositions were largely ignored in his lifetime & it was only after his death that his music was rediscovered, published, recorded & played with first performances of works taking place well into the 20th century Close

Hungarian Dance No.5 in F# minor is the most famous work from the 2 collections of Brahms’ Hungarian Dances and based on the csárdás “Bartfai emlék” by Béla Kéler.
It is an excellent movement to develop performance skills music particular in regard to tempo, dynamics & articulations often requiring an exaggerated approach.
The musical style of the dances in these collections can be described as “style hongrois” characterised by heavy dramatic slow sections (lassan) contrasting with sudden intensely fast sections (friska).
The Hungarian Dances WoO 1 are a collection of 21 dance melodies mostly based on Hungarian and gypsy melodies. Published in two sets in 1869 and 1880 they became Brahms most popular and most profitable published music scores.
Brahms was introduced to Hungarian music in 1853 when he toured the country as an accompanist to the famous Hungarian violinist Ede Reményi. He was introduced to the csárdás and other local and gypsy melodies which he catalogued.
Brahms original settings were arranged for piano duet although he arranged the first set of 10 dances for solo piano and No. 1, 3 & 10 for orchestra.
Some of these arrangements are based on traditional melodies, others were composed by & Brahms himself contributed three.
The playing of piano duets was very popular in the 19th century
Schubert, Brahms, Dvorak & Bizet were all prolific composers of music for piano duet
In the 19th century piano duets were the primary method that people became familiar with new large scale works such as symphonies & operas. Publishers released four hand piano arrangement of work which amateurs played at home
The piano & the ability to play the instrument were symbols of middle class social mobility in 19th century Victorian & European societies and the playing of piano duets was socially acceptable providing opportunities for social interaction in a time of strict social etiquette
In the 20th century the development of recording technology, broadcasting & later TV gave access to music & other entertainment. Close

China Doll Parade dates from 1937 and can be heard in several different arrangements.
The realisation of this piano duet version plays back at 66 minim beats to the minute.
The sheet music score has more graphics and score detail than shown in the video score.
The music needs to be played in a swing style (with a triplet rhythm or groove) which is a style that emerged after ragtime in the so called novelty era.
The form of the work is ABA (ternary)
Accompaniments are in place for both the primo and secondo parts enabling pianists to practice in an ensemble context. They play at 60, 62, 64,and 68 half note or minim beats to the minute.
John Stephan Zamecnic was born in Cleveland, USA in 1872 to Czech parents . Aged 14 he was admitted into the Prague Conservatory studying composition with A.Dvorak in the mid 1890's before returning to the USA in 1899 to play first violin with the Pittsburgh Symphony. He then moved back back to Cleveland where in 1907 he became music director, conductor and composer at the Cleveland Hippodrome Theatre. There he composed music appropriate for the featured acts and performances and subsequently then went on to write music for silent movies, a genre that is now referred to a "photoplay"music. The silent movie era was a time when live music was played to audiences as they watched the film. This might have been played by a pianist, organist or orchestra. Silent movies were replaced by talkies in 1927/28 with music in time becoming part of the pre-recorded movie soundtrack Sam Fox was music publisher for Zamecnik from 1914 who used as many as 21 pseudonyms to possibly suggest and imply that the Sam Fox Music Company was a much larger organisation with many composers on its books.

Raie Da Costa’s “At the Court of Old King Cole” arranged for clarinet in B flat with piano accompaniment.
Have fun playing this arrangement either in a seasonal context or perhaps as a concert encore. The music originates is a piano solo from the 1930’s
There are recordings available on streaming media including a piano and orchestra arrangement.
Piano accompaniments are in place playing at 68, 70, 72,74 and 76 half note (minim) beats to the minute.
The melody line played by the clarinet for much of the time has a very straightforward part to play but no doubt this can expanded and embellished in the hands of a competent clarinettist.
Commentaries suggest that Raie Da Costa was a fine embellisher of the melody line and this is an option that can and possibly should be taken on board.
Loco is a term meaning play at the written octave after playing possibly at the octave in the section before.
Raie Da Costa was a classical trained musician well versed in the rules of counterpoint and harmony. Her music is simply a delight to arrange with its challenges of trying to manage exceptional musicality and technical challenges in the most musical and practical way as possible.
The melody has its origins in the nursery rhyme Old King Cole. In the poem the merry king calls for his pipe, bowl and musicians.
This shape dotted eighth note (quaver) followed by a sixteenth note (semiquaver) is played in a triplet swing pattern. The swing element is certainly and aspect of playing this score but does not dominate as in many of Raie Da Costa’s piano novelty pieces.
To make this playable even for two people there has to be a thinning out of notes and some changes to the texture and voicing of the tenths found in the left hand part of the piano score.
At the Court of Old King Cole has a playback tempo of 72 half note (minim) beats to the minute but it can be played faster.
There is generally not too much score detail in novelty piano scores though the music unfolds with plenty of figuration and twists and turns. The novelty pianist/composers had an excellent knowledge of chords, harmony and all the musical colouring that could be achieved with adjustments to the chord voicing.
Raie Da Costa (1905 – 1934) is very much identified with the novelty piano era in England alongside with other contemporary greats including Billy Mayerl (1902 – 1959)
Like Mayerl she was versatile both as a working musician and in her composing approach although as a young pianist her focus was very much on performing.
When giving concerts she would play novelty music together with popular classics from the repertoire.
She was born in Cape Town, South Africa of Portugese heritage arriving in England when she was 19 to study at the Tobias Matthay School with the intention of becoming a concert pianist.
A brilliant talent and pianist equally at home playing or composing whether in the classical or popular idiom. She also worked with orchestras.
Sadly because as a young performing pianist and artist her focus was on playing the piano where an income could be enjoyed so sadly composing was not a priority.
Thankfully she recorded much music from 1928 first with Parlophone and then later with HMV that provides evidence of her exceptional talents and gifts especially with regard to her left hand technique. Columbia had signed Billy Mayerl so there was healthy competition in the market.
Da Costa was known and billed to as “The Parlophone Girl – Dance Pianiste Supreme”and in the 1930’s as “The World’s Greatest Syncopated Pianist.”
At the Court of Old King Cole was published by Keith Prowse & Co. Ltd. in 1934.
The 1920’s were a great time for piano players with both jazz and novelty piano emerging as popular styles after the ragtime era.
Commentators of the time suggest that Raie Da Costa was versatile, charming and popular, a great embellisher of the melodic line and at the same time in possession a great left hand piano technique who also was known to sing!
Obviously so much that is written about her is conjecture but there is sheet music and recordings to evidence her great gifts. Close

She was born in Cape Town, South Africa of Portugese heritage arriving in England when she was 19.
As a classically trained pianist she aspired to be a concert pianist but proved adaptable adopting to the stylistic popular music idioms of the day.

A galliard is a lively dance in three time often associated with the slower processional pavan in duple time. The galliard which had turns and steps was a popular dance all over Europe in the 16th century. This plain score will be updated with an edited music score.
Music in Elizabethan times was composed referencing the modal system and one of the main features and ambiguities of the writing is that often there are conflicts in accidentals. This is commonly referred to as false relation. The flat 7th in the scale is a feature in English music that is also evident in the folk tradition collected and written down in much later centuries
The English style did tend to be chordal demonstrated particularly in the lighter style of madrigal (a popular part song) referred to as the ballet.
Left hand keyboard writing is characterised by open sounds featuring fifths and octaves.
The keyboard music of the time was rhythmically organised with more and more notes sounding to increase the intensity of the movement as it unfolded. A four part texture can be evidenced in the score.
The Galliard in the realisation plays back at 104 half note beats to the minute. This is music that needs to move because its origins were as a dance.
The galliard was a 3 section work ABC, with each section repeated as a variation.
Metre changes 3 into 2 and back again were frequently in place. In the YouTube video the music editor has made indicated pause marks and changed the meter when appropriate. These are not in place in the pdf sheet music downloads.
Generally, there is a great amount of rhythmic inventiveness in the keyboard writing of Byrd and his contemporaries. Playing the instruments at their disposal with their light touch they would literally have flown through pieces.
Understandably, there isn’t a record of performance practice of the time. The music editor’s intention has been to prepare a score for performance on the piano. A lightness of touch will be essential and the premise it that each section is intended to be played at the same tempo. An additional challenge is to present the movement in a contemporary context.
An awareness of a half note or minim pulse and beat needs to be communicated in the playing. As there are so many modal shifts that occur the music editor has put in some additional accidental reminders.
A challenging piece for audiences as well as for the instrumentalist. But what a movement to challenge listeners and players to engage with music of the past.
.
The source material for much instrumental music in Byrd’s time were the popular tunes of the day and there were many good ones. Variations were a popular form although the term divisions was the one often to be used suggesting a variation on a melody where notes were divided into shorter, faster-moving ones – Divisions on a Ground Bass was a much favoured title.
There are some wonderful Elizabethan collections of keyboard music to which Byrd contributed including Parthenia sharing music by John Bull and Orlando Gibbons. My Ladye Nevells Booke consists of 42 pieces for keyboard by William Byrd. The Fitzwilliam Virginal Book is another important collection of keyboard music from the late Elizabethan and early Jacobean times containing music by both English and continental composers.
Music was not commonly read and it was only the educated, usually musicians brought up singing in cathedrals that progressed to becoming composers and individuals who held court and church positions. Much music was copied by hand and both alterations and mistakes were made making it difficult for music to be authenticated although Byrd did check scores that had been copied.
In the Elizabethan period meantone tuning was in different and pitch levels were lower than today
The music editor suggests learning the piece without ornaments in the first instance.
William Byrd was one of England’s greatest composers. All his music in its many forms and contexts are worth studying whether as a listener, singer or instrumentalist
He originates from Lincoln where he started off life as a chorister and organist. In 1572 he became a member and responsible for the music of the Chapel Royal, a professional choir, maintained by the monarch.
As a composer he absorbed many of the stylistic influences around him and then was able to refresh and update them with his own compositional style.
Byrd belongs to and is identified with the Golden Age of Elizabethan Music and the Renaissance.
He composed music both sacred and popular in modern parlance and is identified in the keyboard sense with the English Virginalist’s school.
The virginals are a harpsichord type instrument in that the strings were plucked although the strings were parallel to the keyboard rather than like the strings in a grand piano or harpsichord.
Byrd lived at a time when the faith tradition was alive and although he composed much Anglican music his later allegiance lay more with the Catholicism. Queen Elizabeth I as monarch tolerated both the Anglican and Catholic traditions providing there was an allegiance to the crown. This was challenged by the Roman church leading to additional conflict and ambiguity for many composers of the period.
Byrd as a catholic often composed Masses for performances in private homes and chapels. Along with many other composers and his wife he is identified with a group of individuals known and referred to as recusants. Many of them including Peter Phillips, a pupil of Byrd’s were later to flee the country.
Music printing at this time was controlled and it was both Byrd and Tallis who held a monopoly on music printing
Byrd was an important teacher of many composers who followed him although the English music style in the succeeding Jacobean period ended up in something of a cul-de-sac. Close

España Cañi | Spanish Gypsy Dance | Paso-Doble by Pascual Marquina Narro arranged for piano solo. One of the most familiar pieces of the Spanish repertoire this arrangement from PlentyMusic is now available to download.
The PlentyMusic sheet music video and realisation plays back at a tempo of 112 quarter note beats per minute. The tempo in the arrangement is constant. This is a performance piece that explores many of the extremes of music performance both from the dynamic and articulation points of view.
As a score reduction the piano arrangement is a challenge in that much of the intended musical content is omitted simply because of the limitation of the hands. Intended as an ensemble piece pianists should explore the music in an ensemble context when opportunities allow.
There are many arrangements of this music available from the PlentyMusic sheet music library combining many instrument combinations. Enjoy making music with PlentyMusic sheet music pdf and accompaniment downloads. Improve practice routines and playing standards using professionally engraved & prepared resources.
The melody has some tricky rhythmic patterns and shapes to play and triplets are an additional challenge.
Whilst the repetitive element is strong the music is nevertheless concise, dramatic and full of musical ideas and references to the elements of the Spanish idiom and style.
The second section has an appealing syncopated melody with some lightening of the musical texture.
The solo line played needs to be played with confidence and accuracy. The melody is quite challenging to play and needs to be learnt methodically most probably with some counting involved. Playing the melody at a slow tempo in the early stages of learning the piece is probably a sensible approach.
The articulation markings featured in the score include the use of staccato, accents, marcato and legato playing. Martellato means strongly accented.
Performances need to demonstrate control of the range of dynamics that feature in the writing from the quietest to the loudest sound.
This movement will need to be prepared thoroughly for a performance because of its familiarity. It is probably the most instantly recognisable piece of Spanish music ever composed!
A great movement for both the player and the listener for its dramatic and musical qualities. The composition dates from 1923 and was recorded as early as 1926.
Spanish music is imbued with the sound of the phrygian mode which features particulary in the first section D Eb F G A Bb C D. In the phyrgian mode as it is described the scale structure is s/t T T T s/t T T (s/t = semitone & T = Tone). The cadences in Spanish music have a characteristic sound.
The composer Pascual Marquina Narro was a prolific Spanish composer of orchestral and operatic music. Pascual Marquina As a composer of distinctly Spanish music he is readily identified with the musical movement known as nationalism.
The suggested tempo range for a paso doble when danced is between 116 and 124 beats per minute. It can be best described as a fast Latin dance with a strong march like rhythm. The conception of the dance is a re-imagining of the movements of the Spanish matador in the bull ring.

España Cañi | Spanish Gypsy Dance | Paso-Doble by Pascual Marquina arranged for cello & string quartet. One of the most familiar pieces of the Spanish repertoire this arrangement from PlentyMusic is now available to download.
The PlentyMusic sheet music video and realisation plays back at a tempo of 108 quarter note beats per minute. The tempo in the arrangement is constant. Individual instrument parts are appended to the full sheet music score.
Accompaniments are in place featuring the string quartet are available as mp3 downloads playing back at 104, 108, 112, 116 and 120 quarter note (crotchet) beats per minute.
There are many arrangements of this music available from the PlentyMusic sheet music library combining many instrument combinations. Enjoy making music with PlentyMusic sheet music pdf and accompaniment downloads. Improve practice routines and playing standards using professionally prepared resources.
The melody has some tricky rhythmic patterns and shapes to play and triplets are an additional challenge. In this quintet version the introduction has been shortened.
Whilst the repetitive element is strong the music is nevertheless concise, dramatic and full of musical ideas and references to the elements of the Spanish idiom and style.
The second section has an appealing syncopated melody with some lightening of the musical texture.
The solo line played needs to be played with confidence and accuracy. It is also an excellent test as an ensemble piece requiring good communication between the players. The solo part is quite challenging to play and needs to be learnt methodically most probably with some counting involved. Playing the melody at a slow tempo in the early stages of learning the piece is probably a sensible approach.
The articulation markings featured in the score include the use of staccato, accents, marcato and legato playing. Martellato means strongly accented.
Performances need to demonstrate control of the range of dynamics that feature in the writing from the quietest to the loudest sound.
This movement will need to be prepared thoroughly for a performance because of its familiarity. It is probably the most instantly recognisable piece of Spanish music ever composed!
A great movement for both the player and the listener for its dramatic and musical qualities. The composition dates from 1923 and was recorded as early as 1926.
Spanish music is imbued with the sound of the phrygian mode which features particulary in the first section D Eb F G A Bb C D. In the phyrgian mode as it is described the scale structure is s/t T T T s/t T T (s/t = semitone & T = Tone). The cadences in Spanish music have a characteristic sound.

Joaquin Malats Serenata Española from his Impressions of Spain arr. clarinet sextet comprising clarinet in Eb or a clarinet in Bb playing the melody line , 3 additional clarinets in Bb & 2 bass clarinets Individual instrument parts are appended to the full sheet music score in the pdf download
A sunny piece that features many characteristics typical of Spanish music. Individual instrument parts are appended to the full score available as a pdf download.
Accompaniments are in place enabling the clarinet in Eb or clarinet in Bb 1 player to practice and play as part of an ensemble. They play at 104, 108,112, 116 & 120 bpm. There is a 4 bar click track to prepare players for this ensemble experience.
In this arrangement the long trill in the clarinet in Eb or clarinet in Bb 1 part should be considered as an option and probably best omitted whilst the music is being learnt.
The workability of this arrangement does need to be evaluated and PlentyMusic would value feedback from musicians trying out this arrangement. It is possible that there are better octave options in the parts that could be explored.
animando used in the score implies an increase in tempo and has been placed above the stave as a score marking
The music in this sounds in the key of G minor. Playing the scale in the sounding key of G in all its forms would be excellent preparation for playing this work major, harmonic & melodic minor and the phrygian mode.
The origins of this piece are as a piano solo although there are many arrangements to be discovered for different instrument combinations. Interestingly, much of the Spanish piano repertoire of the 19th and early 20th centuries is more familiar transcribed to being played on the guitar and this is certainly the case with the Serenata.
This is a movement that dates from the late romantic era when nationalism became an identified as an important trend in composition. The music of composers from countries on the fringes of Europe were appearing in concert programmes including music of Dvorak, Smetana, Grieg, Granados & Albeniz amongst others.
In this movement many of characteristic musical sounds of Spain are captured in a score that suggests many images of the country. There is also much figuration and decoration used in Spanish music and these feature in the melodic, accompaniment, harmonic & timbral detail.
This movement music was composed and published in the last decade of the 19th century.
There were some ambiguities in the source scores available to the music editor who has spent time removing most errors and inconsistencies.
It is the phyrgian mode that is features strongly in Spanish music. The structure of the phyrgian scale is S/T-T-T-T-S/T-T-T (S/T = semitone T = tone)
Modal shifts from minor to major also feature
The realisation plays back at a tempo of 116 quarter note or crotchet beats to the minute although there are occasionally speeding ups (marked animando in the score) and slowing downs particularly at the end of phrases.
Formally the music has a sectional structure and can be described as being in ABA ternary form. (AABB’A)
Spanish music is often dramatic and on occasions invites exaggeration in performance.
The extensive melodic range is a particular characteristic of this movement and instrument ranges are often challenging. Close

The workability of this arrangement does need to be evaluated and PlentyMusic would value feedback from musicians trying out this arrangement. It is possible that there are better octave options in the parts that could be explored. a piano can always be used to substitute for missing instruments.

The music in this sounds in the key of G minor.
The origins of this piece are as a piano solo although there are many arrangements to be discovered for different instrument combinations. Interestingly, much of the Spanish piano repertoire of the 19th and early 20th centuries is more familiar transcribed to being played on the guitar and this is certainly the case with the Serenata.
This is a movement that dates from the late romantic era when nationalism became an identified as an important trend in composition. The music of composers from countries on the fringes of Europe were appearing in concert programmes including music of Dvorak, Smetana, Grieg, Granados & Albeniz amongst others.
Playing the scale in the sounding key of G in all its forms would be excellent preparation for playing this work major, harmonic & melodic minor and the phrygian mode.
In this movement many of characteristic musical sounds of Spain are captured in a score that suggests many images of the country. There is also much figuration and decoration used in Spanish music and these feature in the melodic, accompaniment, harmonic & timbral detail.
This movement music was composed and published in the last decade of the 19th century.
There were some ambiguities in the source scores available to the music editor who has spent time removing most errors and inconsistencies.
It is the phyrgian mode that is features strongly in Spanish music. The structure of the phyrgian scale is S/T-T-T-T-S/T-T-T (S/T = semitone T = tone)
Modal shifts from minor to major also feature
The realisation plays back at a tempo of 116 quarter note or crotchet beats to the minute although there are occasionally speeding ups (marked animando in the score) and slowing downs particularly at the end of phrases.
Formally the music has a sectional structure and can be described as being in ABA ternary form. (AABB’A)
Spanish music is often dramatic and on occasions invites exaggeration in performance.
The extensive melodic range is a particular characteristic of this movement and instrument ranges are often challenging. Close

A recent addition to the PlentyMusic sheet music library is Tchaikovsky’s June arr.clarinet in Bb & piano. Improve music practice strategies & playing routines by using PlentyMusic mp3 piano accompaniments. A clarinet in Bb part is appended to the full score in the pdf download.
June from Tchaikovsky’s Seasons Opus 37 No.6 dates from 1891 is one of the composer’s most popular pieces. Described as a barcarolle it was intended to be performed in the 19th century drawing room or salon.
Piano accompaniments are in place playing at a range of tempi enabling clarinettists to enjoy ensemble playing as part of their practice routines. They play at 80, 82,84,86 & 88 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute. If additional accompaniments are rneeded please advise the PlentyMusic office with an indication of the tempi that are required.
There are many arrangements of Tchaikovsky’s June with this arrangement keeping to the composer’s writing as much as practically possible. The only element in the music editors view that possibly could be explored is the octave ranges played by the instrumental soloist. In the piano accompaniment the sharing of the notes between the hands has been reviewed.
Tchaikovsky is a master of voicing although in the piano accompaniments, the music editor, has added the occasional third to complete full voicing of chords. Arpeggiated chords, often indicated in early editions, have lesser relevance in modern playing although managing stretches when playing music always remains a relevant cause as far as developing playing technique.
The barcarolle as a composition has its origins as a folk song sung by Venetian gondoliers. In art music as a descriptive piece the music is often intended to imitate the sound of the gondoliers strokes and the rippling sounds of the water. This particularly applies to the closing section of Tchaikovsky’s June from bar 83 – 99 where the piano chords are arpeggiated.
There is much score detail in the source scores available which very much illustrates how well music engraving and printing developed in the 19th century.
The tempo indication is Andante cantabile whilst the realisation playing back at 80 quarter note or crotchets beats per minute in the first section from bars 1 - 31.
Tempo rubato, gradually speeding ups and slowing down, within the context of playing a phrase is relevant when performing this music. Musicians will need to research this playing approach in both their playing and listening to understand fully its implication as part of 19th century performance practice.
The music editor has indicated arpeggiated chords to be played only when it is appropriate reflecting current performance practice
In the first section bars 1-31 the melody and accompaniment need to be played with a legato playing touch.
A melancholy movement in character in the opening section there are nevertheless a variety of moods and tempo expressed during a performance of the whole movement.
Some of the music is very simple although the middle section bars 32-51 in the tonic major key is more challenging technically with two changes of tempo and writing in which the texture is more full and complex.
In a performance instrumentalists should be looking to explore the full tonal and dynamic range of their instruments.
Much of Tchaikovsky’s music can be arranged for other instrumental groups to perform and June offers many options for a solo instrument with piano accompaniment and both chamber and orchestral groups.
Tchaikovsky travelled widely and would have been familiar with the Italian folk song barcorola describing a movement associated with boatmen and gondoliers with a characteristic rhythmic pattern imitating the rhythm of rowing.
The context for much of Tchaikovsky’s salon and chamber music which was largely commissioned & sponsored, was to compose ternary form music (ABA) using a popular dance rhythmic template of the time which included waltz, barcarolle, polka, mazurka amongst many other forms of the day familiar to the listening public.
The middle part in two sections, one in quadruple time followed by an even faster one in triple time faster in tempo and dance like in character requires a lightness of touch when played.
This middle section closes with a series of diminished seventh chords moving up the keyboard. After a brief two bar link the music of the A section returns as a varied repeat with the addition of some counter melodies and points of imitation largely sounded in the tenor line.
There is considerable detail in the music score typical of printed music published in the late romantic period
One of Tchaikovsky’s great skills as a composer was to be able to write music for all levels of performance expertise from beginner to improver, intermediate, advanced and virtuoso levels.
The closing section or coda from bars 84 – 99 does reference and suggest imagery that relates to the composer’s reference to barcarolle in the music’s title Close

Modern pianos are of course much more resonant than those of the past when being generous with the right foot could perhaps be tolerated.

Rachmaninov’s Vocalise arranged for trombone and piano in the key of E minor.
Sergie Rachmaninov was a Russian born composer, pianist and conductor who like many of his generation left his home country to live abroad because of the political turmoil.
The playback tempo of the realisation is 52 quarter note (crotchet) beats per minute although it is an eighth note (quaver) pulse that predominates. The playback score has the repeats in place but the trills indicated in the score do not sound.
Accompaniments are available both with and without repeats. They play at 50, 52, 54, 56, 58 & 60 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute. The score with repeats is 70 bars and without 39 bars in length. For those requiring additional accompaniments please contact the PlentyMusic team with an indication of the tempo that is required. Use the reference tempo map.
As a challenging music score to read with many accidentals careful reading of the notes is essential. Listening to performances of the work played by different instrument combinations would be a sensible approach to for instrumentalists to become familiar with the sound of the score. Fortunately streaming media provides many excellent opportunities for this. Understand that much can also be learn from performances that are possibly far from perfect.
The pianist will need to use the sustaining pedal although it’s use is not indicated in the sheet music score. Both the soloist and accompanying piano player will need to demonstrate very good playing technique to achieve a legato in a performance. The challenge when playing this score is to make it sound easy to play. This is an excellent piece for all those playing the solo part to improve their intonation. The voicing of the lines is a composing element that needs to be explored particularly to understand how dissonances are created and managed. Rachmaninov’s musical textures are frequently complex. What needs to be explored performing this music is the beauty of sound and its lyricism rather than any dramatic element. The last note needs to sound as long as possible but is notated as in the vocal score where the length of the note no doubt depended on the singers breath control. Instrumentalists will observe that that are some melodic alternatives playing the melody indicated as small notes although they are not used in realisation.
The music is composed in two sections with each section intended to be repeated. There is an 8 bar closing section or coda which references the music of the opening A section.
The falling sixteenth note (semi quaver) motif needs to be given some prominence in a performance especially when it is imitated.
This particular movement from the music setting point of view provides some challenges evident from the many scores that contain inaccuracies and copying errors. The original key of the movement was C# minor.
Rachmaninov & Tchaikovsly both composed music melancholy in character. Vocalise is a work that can be played by many different instrument combinations although it was originally written for a soprano voice. Rachmaninov’s harmonic language identifies with the late romantics and stylistically his music is always distinctive and readily identifiable a trait unique to great composers. Rachmaninov was one of the great pianists of his day often including Tchaikovsky’s piano music in his recitals. Be aware & familiar with the several different spellings of both composer’s names.
His music possesses a great sense of melody, harmonic colour and supreme understanding of piano writing particular with complex linear textures.
The dedicatee of Rachmaninov’s Vocalise was Antonia Nezdanova, a Russian soprano and she gave the first performance of the work in an arrangement for soprano & orchestra. The intention in this particular version of the work was for the melody line to sung or vocalised to a vowel sound chosen by the singer.
Whilst Rachmaninov’s dates suggest that he is a 20th century composer he should be regarded as belonging to the late romantic era. In many ways his music references the past rather than that of his contemporaries.
Sadly, Because he emigrated to the USA his working life in his newly adopted country became focused on performing rather than composing.
Sergie Rachmaninov was a great pianist and composer. He was a generally austere, severe and remote character except to those in the Russian emigré community in the US and other familiar & close people such as his personal piano tuner. He had large hands and could manage big stretches on the piano with ease. He left Russia to live in Germany before moving to New York in 1918. Whilst living in USA he lived and worked mostly as a concert pianist and recitalist and consequently his contribution to the repertoire was sadly not as great as it perhaps could have been. Like Tchaikovsky Rachmaninov often struggled with his mental health particularly if a composition was poorly received after a first performance. He was influenced by the music of Tchaikovsky and was a composer of late tonal romantic music often with chromatic harmony. Close

Joaquin Malats Serenata Española from his Impressions of Spain arr. 4 acoustic guitars & bass guitar Individual instrument parts are appended to the full sheet music score in the pdf download. #sheetmusic & accompaniments download link: coming soon
Use the signing up free credit facility to download the score and parts & possibly an accompaniment.
A sunny piece that features many characteristics typical of Spanish music. There is no reason why the parts cannot be doubled to make this an exciting ensemble piece. There are many times of guitar that can be incorporated into a playing group making this a great learning piece for so many guitarists. Whatever guitar types are available can be used & there is no reason why a mix of guitars cannot be used with classical, folk, steel, and electric guitars being substituted. As a concert piece classical guitars supported by either an acoustic or electric bass instrument would be ideal. Scores can be printed out with 2 pages per sheet offering an opportunity to save on page turning.
Accompaniments are in place enabling the guitar 1 part to practice and play as part of an ensemble. They play at 104, 108,112,116 & 120 bpm. There is a 4 bar click track to prepare players for this ensemble experience.
All instruments playing in this arrangement create the sound by plucking the strings. In this arrangement the long trill in the guitar 1 has been omitted simply because a long trill is hard to sustain on an acoustic instrument.
Remember that the classical guitar and bass guitar are transposing instruments sounding an octave lower than written in the music score.
The workability of this arrangement does need to be evaluated and PlentyMusic would value feedback from musicians trying out this arrangement. It is possible that there are better octave options in the parts that could be explored particularly the guitar 2 & 3 parts. Where there are challenges with stretches in the guitar parts with more than one note being played the instrumentalist needs to chose or be advised on the most appropriate option.
animando used in the score implies an increase in tempo and has been placed above the stave as a score marking
The music in this arrangement has been transposed from the key of G minor to A minor.
The origins of this piece are as a piano solo although there are many arrangements to be discovered for different instrument combinations. Interestingly, much of the Spanish piano repertoire of the 19th and early 20th centuries is more familiar transcribed to being played on the guitar and this is certainly the case with the Serenata.
This is a movement that dates from the late romantic era when nationalism became an identified as an important trend in composition.

A sunny piece that features many characteristics typical of Spanish music. There is no reason why the parts cannot be doubled to make this an exciting ensemble piece. All instruments playing in this arrangement create the sound by the plucking the strings. In this arrangement mandolin players are required to tremolo rather than trill on the long notes. Remember that the classical guitar and double bass are transposing instruments sounding an octave lower than written in the music score.
The workability of this arrangement does need to be evaluated and PlentyMusic would value feedback from musicians trying out this arrangement. It is possible that there are better octave options in the parts that could be explored. Where there are challenges with stretches in the guitar & cello parts with more than one note being played the instrumentalist needs to chose or be advised one the most appropriate option.
animando used in the score implies an increase in tempo and has been placed above the stave as a score marking
The music in this arrangement has been transposed from the key of G minor to A minor.
The origins of this piece are as a piano solo although there are many arrangements to be discovered for different instrument combinations. Interestingly, much of the Spanish piano repertoire of the 19th and early 20th centuries is more familiar transcribed to being played on the guitar and this is certainly the case with the Serenata.
This is a movement that dates from the late romantic era when nationalism became an identified as an important trend in composition. The music of composers from countries on the fringes of Europe were appearing in concert programmes including music of Dvorak, Smetana, Grieg, Granados & Albeniz amongst others.

June from P.I. Tchaikovsky’s Seasons Opus 37 No.6 dates from 1891 and is one of the composer’s most popular piano pieces. An example of music intended for the salon or drawing room it is described as a barcarolle. #sheetmusic pdf download link: coming soon
The barcarolle as a composition has its origins as a folk song sung by Venetian gondoliers. In art music as a descriptive piece the music is often intended to imitate the sound of the gondoliers strokes and the rippling sounds of the water. This particularly applies to the closing section of Tchaikovsky’s June from bar 83 – 99.
There is much score detail in the source scores available which very much illustrates how well music engraving and printing developed in the 19th century.
The tempo indication is Andante cantabile whilst the realisation playing back at 80 quarter note or crotchets beats per minute in the first section from bars 1 -31
Tempo rubato, gradually speeding ups and slowing down, within the context of playing a phrase is relevant when performing this music. Pianists will need to research this playing approach in both their playing and listening to understand fully its implication as part of 19th century performance practice.
The music editor has indicated arpeggiated chords to be played only when it is appropriate and in the light of current performance practice
In the first section bars 1-31 the melody and accompaniment need to be played with a legato playing touch.
A melancholy movement in character in the opening section there are nevertheless a variety of moods and tempo expressed during a performance of the whole movement.
Some of the music is very simple although the middle section bars 32-51 in the tonic major key is more challenging technically with two changes of tempo and writing in which the texture is more full and complex.
In a performance pianists should be looking to explore the full tonal and dynamic range of the instrument. Piano touch and articulations are elements that can be explored.
The use of weight from the body through from the shoulders, arms, hands and fingers into the piano keys is something that with understanding and application can add interpretative value to a performance.
Much of Tchaikovsky’s music can be arranged for other instrumental groups to perform and June offers many options for a solo instrument with piano accompaniment and both chamber and orchestral groups.
The Tchaikovsky piano was essentially the modern instrument with an iron frame though the tonal range would not have been as broad as a grand piano of the 21st century.
Use of the sustaining pedal is indicated in the score. The use of the sustaining pedal is dependent on so many factors in a performance particularly related to the quality of the piano and the acoustic of the performance area. The music editor’s view is a preference to under use rather than over use the sustaining pedal. Harmonies essentially should never be conflicted or smudged. Modern pianos are of course much more resonant than those of the past when being generous with the right foot could perhaps be tolerated. Using the sustaining pedal is quite a study in itself with quarter, half, three quarter and full pedalling
Tchaikovsky travelled widely and would have been familiar with the Italian folk song barcorola describing a movement associated with boatmen and gondoliers with a characteristic rhythmic pattern imitating the rhythm of rowing.
The context for much of Tchaikovsky’s salon and chamber music which was largely commissioned, was to compose ternary form music (ABA) using a popular dance rhythmic template of the time which included waltz, barcarolle, polka, mazurka amongst others.
The middle part in two sections, one in quadruple time followed by an even faster one in triple time are faster in tempo faster in tempo and dance like in character requiring a lightness in the hands particular
This middle section closes with a series of diminished seventh chords moving up the keyboard. After a brief two bar link the music of the A section returns as a varied repeat with the addition of some countemrodies and points of imitation largely sounded in the tenor line.
There is considerable detail in the music score typical of printed music published in the late romantic period
One of Tchaikovsky’s great skills as a composer was to be able to write music for all levels of performance expertise from beginner to improver, intermediate, advanced and virtuoso levels.
The closing section or coda from bars 84 – 99 does reference and suggest imagery that relates to the composers reference to barcarolle in the music’s title. Close

Debussy’s Arabesque No. 1 arranged for saxophone quartet, comprising soprano, alto, tenor and baritone saxophones sounding in the key of F. This is music composed whilst Debussy was still in his 20’s.
The first Arabesque has a tempo marking Andantino con moto whist the realisation for saxophone quartet plays back at an initial 112 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute. The music has been transposed from the original key of E to F. There are some of octave transpositions in the arrangement keeping the instrument parts within the range of the instrument. It is a three section work. Saxophone parts appropriately transposed are appended to the full music score.
Much of the writing in this movement references triadic chords played as arpeggios. The intervals of the thirds and tenth (compound third) feature strongly in the parallel motion It is a three section work with the reflective middle section referencing the key of the sub-dominant.
The triplet pattern is a strong feature of the movement. Instrumentalists new to playing cross rhythms need to practice playing triplet rhythms for a bar and then change it to eighth notes (quavers) so that they develop a clear sense of pulse in their playing.
This a movement where the tempo often ebbs and flows in what is referred to as Tempo Rubato. This is an important aspect of performance practice and something that is first associated with the music of Chopin.
Instrumentalists need to have a clear understanding of all the terms used in the score detail. 20th century music scores do generally have more graphics and terms in place to assist how the music is to be played and interpreted.
A quite stunning and impressionable piece in all senses of the word with a strong sense of melody that lends itself to being arranged for an ensemble such as a clarinet quartet.
Debussy composed his two Arabesques between 1888 and 1891 whilst still in his 20’s. They were originally composed for piano. They are movements that challenge the established pathways of his late romantic contemporaries. They are often described as early impressionist pieces although Debussy himself didn’t like references of his music using the term.
Debussy has famously been described as the composer who opened the door to 20th century musical composition in the sense that his compositional approach was different to that of many of his contemporaries whose music was generally becoming increasingly dissonant. Debussy’s writing is more about exploring the beauty of sound without necessarily following the rules of harmonic writing that prevailed in the 19th century.
Debussy created a new approach to composition in which beauty of sound and line were paramount exploring connections between the visual arts, nature and the environment around him His music is frequently described as being evocative in that he describes in music what he sees, hears and observes from his experiences of life. He is a composer of visual music. Debussy also lived at a time when the world as such was coming to Europe with exhibitions and as a composer he was open and influenced by the many cultures as his music suggests.
Saxophone accompaniments are in place to encourage ensemble practice playing at 100-88 -100 quarter note (crotchets) beats per minute and also 104-092-104, 104-100-104, 108-100-108, 112-096-112 and 112-104-112 bpm with the tempo referring to the music as a three section work.

Dainty Doll, by Bernard Barnes is a novelty piano solo, published in 1934. A movement full of charm it needs to be played in a swing style with a light keyboard touch.
The realisation plays back at 120 quarter note beats (crotchet) to the minute. The same tempo is used in each of the sections in the realisation apart from bars the two bar link (bars 43 & 44) where the tempo has been deliberately slowed before the return of the A section.
Dainty Doll described as a Novelette dates from 1934. As a piano novelty solo played in a swing style some obvious ambiguities arise in terms of understanding the notation of the music.
The music needs to be played with a lightness in the hands and the melodic ideas need to be articulated clearly. The triplet pattern features continually despite the ambiguity of the notation.
While use of the sustaining pedal is recommended its use is not indicated in the music score.
Formally the music can be described as A B C A with the key plan being D G C D. 16 bar phrases are evident in the structure in each of the sections
Whilst there is a clear reference to the American march this is presented in an abridged form more suited to the performance of novelty piano music.
Barney Barnes is also fond of using a two bar link just before the return of the A section preparing the return to the home key of D.
The compositional style demonstrates many of the popular music cliches and formulas contemporary to the period of its writing.
The 2 bar unit is very much the building block in novelty pieces of music with each building block being part of a conversation very much like the question and answer phrase structure that is frequently described in classical music
A display of contrasting textures in each of the sections also tends to be evident. From the technical point of view novelty pieces certainly on the piano need to be understood as being advanced pieces and tempo instructions invariably should be interpreted as “play as fast as possible.”
Harmonically many seventh chords are in evidence and the cycle of fifths often with the addition of chromatic notes provides the framework.
Musicians will sense that this piece as is the case with much novelty music is suitable to be arranged for other instrument combinations because there are some evident accompaniment motives and the texture and pianistic writing suggests arrangement possibilities.
It is a pity that there isn’t more Bernard Barnes sheet music available because his compositional style has great charm and appeal.
As in much novelty piano music the interval of a fourth features in the melody line.
Novelty music is very much a chordal based often with a strong chromatic element.
The realisation plays back at 120 quarter note beats (crotchet) to the minute.
Repetition features strongly in the piece and the spread chords in the left hand are necessary enabling pianists to manage stretches.
Subtle changes of tempo do not feature in the realisation and generally music in this style needs to be played consistently with possibly some slowing down at the end of sections
Bernard Barnes 1892 -1947 was born in Worcester (modern day West Midlands) in the UK and moved to the USA is his youth settling in Seattle where he worked as a cinema organist becoming an American citizen in 1922. He is associated with a mode of music making familiarly referred to as “photoplay” that is music intended to be played for silent movies. His day job was playing largely improvised organ music to accompany silent movies.
In the video score some of the graphic score detail is hidden simply because it behaves inconsistently in this format.
The pianos of the novelty era tended to have lighter touches that those of modern instruments which partly explains tempos from archive recordings.
Certainly as a composer Barney Barnes is deserving of more attention and his popular piano novelties need to heard more often.
The early radio and recording years were wonderful times for piano playing with the majority of well trained classical musicians having to decide on whether to pursue a career on traditional paths or embrace the new idioms of radio, cinema and related popular music idioms. Close

Bernard Barnes 1892 -1947 was born in Worcester and moved to the USA is his youth settling in Seattle where he worked as a cinema organist becoming an American citizen in 1922. He is associated with a mode of music making familiarly referred to as “photoplay” that is music intended to be played for silent movies.
Dainty Miss described as a Novelette dates from 1924. Whist a piano novelty solo played in a swing style there are recordings available where the music is arranged for Palm Court Orchestra.
The music needs to be played with a lightness in the hands and the melodic ideas need to be articulated clearly. It is quite a charming character piece that does not need to be played too quickly. The triplet pattern features continually despite the ambiguity of the notation. Crossing of hands (left over right hand feature in the second section of music which has the repeat. After the 16 bar trio section there is a two bar link leading to a reprise of the first section with a slightly different final cadence. The voice leading in bar 44 warrants some careful attention and possibly quite a bit of disagreement amongst piano players?
A tempo of between 55-60 half note or minim beats to the minute is suggested. While use of the sustaining pedal is recommended its use is not indicated in the music score.
The realisation plays back at 60 half note or minim beats to the minute. Close

Bubbling Over is a novelty piano solo by Carroll Gibbons published in 1937. The playback tempo of the realisation is 84 half note or minim beats to the minute and 72 half note bpm in the section from bars 79 to 110. It is a movement that needs to be played in a swing style.
Carroll Gibbons was a wonderful musical talent and pianist kept busy at the Savoy Hotel in the war years. Broadcasting on a regular basis his playing is well documented in the recording sense although sadly not much of his piano music is available in print. Although American by birth he lived and worked in England.
The quality of his musicianship is down to a combination his wonderful knowledge of chords, a repertoire largely based on the songbooks of the 1930’s & 40’s combined with experience leading bands in his working years. For the enthusiast there is archive material to discover on Carroll Gibbons. His performances particularly of popular songs are well documented with many broadcasts and recordings of his music available on streaming media. He is associated with many of the finest artists of his day including the singers Anne Lenner and Hildegarde.
Pianists intending to play this particular piece well will need to have an excellent piano technique. Many of the techniques that feature in the popular piano styles of the 20th century can be identified in Bubbling Over. A light piano touch is needed and players need to play accurately and above all with rhythmic security and command. Gibbons is fond of using 2 bar links enabling him to change the mood and key in his music and there is an example of this from bar 77-78. Managing the weight in the hands is crucial in performing complex chordal music like this on a piano. It’s probably best to learn the movement as three separate sections and then perform the work as a whole. Careful attention needs to be paid to the note reading and the stretches in both hands need to be carefully managed. The swing style of playing requires the music to be performed with a triplet feel and this is not particularly well represented on the sheet music page with clarity. This is the reason why it is important and necessary for pianists to listen to Carroll Gibbons recordings playing his own music. The chromatic element in the writing is strong.
The pianos in England when this music was composed were often made by Challen which had quite a light touch.
Bubbling Over is described as a Foxtrot and has a sectional structure. After a 4 bar introduction there is a 35 bar A section in the key of D succeeded by a 32 bar B section in the key of F. After a two bar link this is followed by a 32 bar section in the key of G with the final section being a repeat of the opening Section A with the addition of a 6 bar coda. The A section is very typical of novelty music style whilst the B section is chordal in character. Section C features cross hand playing with the melody played in the tenor line with a bass line and off beat chords succeeded by the repetition of the A section and coda. His arrangements demonstrate a great awareness of harmonic colouring in both the choice of chords in the harmonic progression sense and the additional notes added to chords. Close

J.S. Zamecnik’s Polly in an arrangement for marimba, flute, guitar & bass This novelty piece published in 1926 is a lively movement that needs to be played in a swing style. The realisation score plays back at 64 half note or minim bpm.
In this arrangement rehearsal markings are in place in the score with the music sounding in the original key of D. The pdf #sheetmusic download has individual instrument parts appended to the full score. Electric or acoustic guitars can be used and either electric bass guitar or acoustic bass. There is a strong chromatic element in this movement which has a formal structure related to the American march form. Additionally there is a strong repetitive element in the use of shapes and motifs which is often a feature in the popular music idiom. Modern instruments are tonally much stronger than the instruments of the 1920’s and some of the indicated articulation markings may need to be reviewed by players.
The marimba is presented as the solo instrument in the arrangement with the flute providing the fills and links at the end of phrases. The guitar part is fairly straight forward although some of the chords have been revoiced so that the chord choices are straightforward. In the appended parts chord symbols are in place to assist players where they are appropriate.
This is a mix and match arrangement so other arrangements in D, flute, cello and bassoon can make use of this choice of accompaniment for practicing.
Popular music idioms in the modern sense were established in the first decade of the 20th century first with ragtime and then with related styles like novelty piano, stride piano and subsequently with blues and jazz styles and much later other combinations . Musicians as such were provided with a career choice of either pursuing the popular or more serious classical idiom. Interestingly many successful popular music composers and performers in the early 20th century were classically trained.
The realisation plays back at 62 half note or minim beats to the minute. Accompaniments are in place playing back at 58, 60, 62, 64, 66, 68, 70 and 72 half note or minim beats to the minute.
The conventions used in the notation of swing music are confusing and not altogether consistent so thare are a few rhythmic ambiguities in the score Time spent listening to performances of this piece will be helpful. It is communicating the swing style element that is important when the music is played. The triplet pattern or shape is the key rhythmic element.
John Stepan Zamecnik had a successful career as a composer of music for film or more accurately silent films commonly referred to as photoplay music. As a composer he frequently used pseudonms. It would be interesting to ask him why? Whilst American by birth he studied music in Prague with Dvorak in the mid 1890's. Much of his working life was spent in the city of Cleveland. Close

Nola by Felix Arndt arranged for marimba & guitar. The composition dates from 1915. It is frequently referred to as the first piece of novelty music an idiom that emerged from the ragtime era. Light and breezy in character it is a style of music very much intended to lift the mood and spirit. This is the perfect “party piece.”
Arndt was a New York based composer and pianist who died during the Spanish Flu epidemic of 1919. Individual marimba parts are appended to the full score in the pdf sheet music download. Accompaniments are in place allowing the marimbaplayers to participate in play-a-long ensemble activities as part of music practice routines with a guitar .
The guitar accompaniment tracks play back at 58, 60, 62, 64 & 66 & 68 half note (minim) beats per minute. There is a two bar count in /click track at the beginning of the accompaniment tracks. The guitar accompaniment is much more playable and not nearly as difficult as the solo marimba.
Sections need to be played at the same tempo and there is little opportunity for slowing down at the end of phrases and sections.
This is music that moves along quickly but also needs to played in a completely relaxed manner. Nola is brimming with musical ideas and inventiveness and is a very “modern” sounding work for 1915. As a musical snapshot of its time it references both the ragtime era of its near past and points to the future in its swing jazz style triplet rhythms. Swing playing identifies more with the 1920’s so this is music that can be viewed as being ahead of its time.
The playing style of the bass and chords is derived from ragtime. Contrasting and repeating sections are in evidence whilst the formal pattern of the music is A B A C D C A with an 8 bar coda at the end. The key plan can be summarised as I – i – I – IV - I The novelty era has a strong connection with ragtime particularly in the choices of formal patterns and musical shapes. Whilst the repetitive element is strong the composer does not make use of repeat signs.
The music editor’s observation is that Felix Arndt was a hugely talented, imaginative and inventive composer and it is a tragedy that he did not live longer to compose music that similarly anticipated future trends. He left the music world with the potential to achieve so much. Born in 1889 if he had lived his entitled three year scores and ten he could have lived until 1959 and would have been a contemporary with so many other greats. It is also ironic because 1959 is the year that a version of Nola achieved success in the pop charts. What is so evident is that he had a wonderful understanding of harmonic colour and the relevance of chords in the popular music idiom. He can be truly described as a musical forerunner. Apart from the abundance of musical ideas it is understanding of the harmonic framework which makes his music so appealing. There are several dance patterns referenced in the music. Close

Marimba accompaniments are in place allowing marimba 1 players to participate in play-a-long ensemble activities as part of music practice routines. The lowest sounding note is A2 in the marimba 2 part.
The marimba 2 accompaniment tracks play back at 58, 60, 62, 64 & 66 & 68 half note (minim) beats per minute. There is a two bar count in /click track at the beginning of the accompaniment tracks. The accompaniment (marimba 2) is much more playable and not nearly as difficult as the solo (marimba 1).

Summer Rain by Carroll Gibbons, is an advanced level novelty piano solo, composed in 1937. The realisation plays back at 84 half note or minim beats in the swing triplet sections and 64 half note or minim beats in all the straight slower section.
Swing playing involves playing the eighth notes or quavers in a triplet pattern or context. The swing aspect to the piano playing means that the music has to be approached with a lightness in the hands and arms. In novelty piano music the full range of the 88 note piano keyboard is often explored.
The music editor suggests learning this piece in sections subsequently playing whole phrases and sections. The tempo instruction is essentially “play the music as fast as you dare.”
The left hand stretches from bar 10 need to be managed by rolling the hand left to right so that the notes sound using a technique borrowed from the contemporary stride piano era. At bar 20 the music editor suggests that the reverse process is in place in that the rolling effect this time is from right to left. Appreciate that the notation of music in all its idioms and styles is sometimes challenging and ambiguous to understand.
The 8 bar introduction is played in a straight rhythm. The section from bar 9 to bar 68 is played in a swing style meaning that the music needs to be played with a triplet feel. This is followed by a 4 bar link in straight rhythm preceding a slower section from bar 73 to bar 104 also played without a swing feel. The final section from bar 104 to 144 is again in a swing style returning to the idiom and style of bars 6-65. In context this final section is best considered as a play out quite relevant in the broadcasting of music at the time. The sections played in a swing style need to be approached with a lightness in the hands and stretches need to be managed and practiced. The writing is pianistic meaning that the chord choices and voicing are playable. The chromatic element is also strong. Take note of the tempo changes and dynamic markings because they certainly assist in making a performance manageable.
The use of the sustaining pedal is essential when performing this style of music composed at a time when there were many fine piano manufacturers were in business in the UK.
The music editor has not been able to source as many recordings of this novelty piece as he anticipated in the preparation of the score. Additionally there is the suggestion that the notated copy of Summer Rain is very much a musical sketch. Interpret some or all of the “sketch” as you wish.
Novelty pianists in the 1920 and 1930’s were generally well trained musicians who decided on a career choice to play, arrange and compose music in the many popular music idioms and styles that emerged in the 1920’s and 30’s. Broadcast opportunities, the recording and film industries also provided additional incentives and motivation.
Playing through the repertoire of this great period of song writing 1920- 1940’s enabled GIbbons and other contemporary pianists to acquire a unique knowledge of chords and harmonic options and choices available when it came to composing their own music.
Carroll Gibbons was a most gifted pianist although other novelty pianists and composers have left more extensive legacies of notated and published music.
Carroll Gibbons was an exceptional music performer and he left a rich recording legacy although sadly only a few instrumental pieces were published for piano.
The strength of Gibbon’s writing is in the inventiveness of both the rhythmic and melodic elements combined with a nuanced choice of chords. The fully voiced chord choices in the piano writing more than suggest his background as a band leader.
His piano touch and technique were unique – he was a quite exceptional musical leader and performer.
Carroll Gibbons, although born in America, became a London based pianist and band leader working at the Savoy Hotel and leading the Savoy Opheans. He worked for HMV as Director of Light Music and recorded extensively with a small combo group known as Carroll Gibbons and his Boyfriends. The recording legacy of popular songs of the day features singers Anne Lenner and Hildegarde. He was a wonderful pianist and there are a few clips of his playing can be seen on YouTube. Close

John Zamecnik was a gifted Ameican composer, conductor and arranger of Czech extraction who studied at the Prague Conservatory of Music with Dvorak,. He is mainly known for his silent movie scores often composed using pseudonyms and published by Samuel Fox. He lived in Cleveland.
The 2/2 time signature indicates that Nola needs to be played with a sense of two beats in the bar
Both referencing and understanding the swing style this music needs to played with a clrear understanding meaning that the triplet figuration prevails.

This is music that moves along quickly but also needs to played in a completely relaxed manner. Tension in the fingers, hands and arms is something to be avoided and this can be partly achieved by keeping a lightness in the hands and arms and secure fingering. Fingers need to be close to the keys.

Moonbeams Dance by Carroll Gibbons needs to be played in a swing style meaning that a triplet feel needs to be communicated in performances of the music. Novelty piano succeeded the ragtime era of the early 20th century. The realisation plays back at a tempo of 110 bpm.
Much novelty music was written for the piano and many of the pianists were simply wizards in terms of their skill at playing the instrument. That said there is a strong repetitive element in the musical style which enable challenges to be managed. There are many technical challenges to manage when playing this movement and they can be mastered if each is identified and practiced methodically whilst retaining a lightness in the hands.
The music editor deliberately avoids putting more than one articulation marking on a note.
The rôle of the left hand is to essentially play the bass and accompanying chords.
The left hand stretches often involve leaps of a tenth and more and in this respect there is a connection with stride piano which is a related style also emerging from ragtime piano.
Novelty piano music tends to be played at a fast tempo. The 110 quarter note beats to the minute tempo in the sheet music video score is, the music editor suggests, a rather cautious tempo.
Carroll Gibbons was a American pianist, composer and band leader largely remembered for his recordings and performances in London during the 1930’s & 1940’s.
A wonderful piano player there are a few video clips available on YouTube that can be viewed to observe the great facility and technique that he possessed.
The music combines bass & chord with an inventive and energetic melody line.
The musical ideas and figuration that feature in Moonbeams Dance are understandably pianistic and fourths are a strong feature in the repeating A section.
The phrase structure generally refences the characteristic 8 bar patterns typical of music from the dance band era with which Carroll Gibbons was closely associated.
A knowledge of chords and how they are described is a requirement playing this and many other popular music styles. The chromatic element is also quite strong.
The sectional form of the movement can be summarised as follows: Intro A B A C D A Coda Close

Nola by Felix Arndt arr. guitar duo + TAB. The composition dates from 1915. It is frequently referred to as the first piece of novelty music an idiom that emerged during the ragtime era. Light and breezy in character this is a style of music very much intended to lift the mood and spirit. This is the perfect “party piece.”
Arndt was a New York based composer and pianist who died during the Spanish Flu epidemic of 1919. Guitar parts are appended to the full score in the pdf sheet music download. Guitar accompaniments are in place allowing guitars to participate in play-a-long ensemble activities as part of music practice routines. The accompaniment tracks play back at 58, 60, 62, 64 & 66 & 68 half note (minim) beats per minute. There is a two bar count in /click track at the beginning of the accompaniment tracks. The guitar accompaniment is quite playable and not nearly as difficult as the solo. Classical, steel and electric guitar are all appropriate although an acoustic sound has been used in the accompaniments. A TAB score is also available in this guitar duo version. Appreciate that there are some octave transpositions in the parts required to keep to the range of the instrument. Sections need to be played at the same tempo and there is little opportunity for slowing down at the end of phrases and sections.
The TAB score does have its limitations in that it is just a rather literal interpretation of the parts. There are probably better options for guitar players. In the TAB part the triplet numbers have been hidden to avoid confusion.
This is music that moves along quickly but also needs to played in a completely relaxed manner. Nola is brimming with musical ideas and inventiveness and is a very “modern” sounding work for 1915. As a musical snapshot of its time it references both the ragtime era of its near past and points to the future in its swing jazz style triplet rhythms. Swing playing identifies more with the 1920’s so this is definitely music ahead of its time.
The playing style of the bass and chords is derived from ragtime. Contrasting and repeating sections are in evidence whilst the formal pattern of the music is A B A C D C A with an 8 bar coda at the end. The key plan can be summarised as I – i – I – IV - I The novelty era has a strong connection with ragtime particularly in its formal patterns and musical shapes. Whilst the repetitive element is strong the composer does not make use of repeat signs.
The music editor’s observation is that Felix Arndt was a hugely talented, imaginative and inventive composer and it is a tragedy that he did not live longer to compose music that similarly anticipated future trends. He left the music world with the potential to achieve so much. Born in 1889 if he had lived his entitled three year scores and ten he could have lived until 1959 and would have been a contemporary with so many other greats.

Nola needs to be played in a swing style simply meaning that the triplet figuration prevails.

Sections need to be played at the same tempo and there is little opportunity for slowing down at the end of phrases and sections.
Some of the score detail, particularly phrase markings have been hidden in the sheetmusic video score simply because the associated graphics behave inconsistently in this format.
This is music that moves along quickly but also needs to played in a completely relaxed manner. Tension in the fingers, hands and arms is something to be avoided and this can be partly achieved by keeping a lightness in the hands and arms and secure fingering. Fingers need to be close to the keys.

A short but very appealing movement ideal as an encore for the competent soloist well warmed up and prepared to engage with the challenges of presenting a concert piece. The choice of tempo, managing the figuration in the section from bars 51-57 and how the melody is articulated especially from bars 80–89 identify just some of the performance challenges and considerations.
The dance element is particular strong in French music and this dance inspired instrumental with a sectional structure has a strong repetitive element. The realisation plays back at 118 quarter note crotchet beats to the minute. The music editor has chosen not to indicate the tempo in the music score using an appropriate Italian term but players do need to play the movement at as brisk a tempo as possible.
There is a modulation to the dominant key at bar 51 where some attention needs to be paid to playing the correct accidentals.
A performance piece to challenge players to step up to advanced level standards although rhythmical and articulation aspects can be managed in presenting the movement for performance to an audience.
There are some rhythmic options that can be explored in the section 51- 57
The music editor suggests first playing the 7 bars as eighth note or quavers and then introducing rhythmic options and complexity of sixteenth notes, sixteenth note triplets and thirty second notes. (quavers, semiquavers and demisemiquavers!)
Notes need to articulated clearly and particularly in the final section from bars 80 to 88 players may wish to play the sixteenth note semi quavers with a staccato touch.
A violin part is appended to the full score in the pdf download.
Piano accompaniments are available playing at 112, 118, 124, 132 quarter note or crotchet beats to the minute.
Gossec was a French composer and pupil of Rameau although little known outside France
He composed symphonies, operas and is identified with the revival of instrumental music in France. A colleague of Cherubini he introduced and conducted the symphonies of Haydn in Paris.
France has always enjoyed a strong reputation for the quality of its woodwind playing and woodwind teaching and not surprisingly many of its composers have explored this tradition in their creative. Close

F.J. Gossec’s Tambourin arranged for flute and piano. Improve music practice routines by downloading sheet music and piano accompaniments from the PlentyMusic website.
A short but very appealing movement ideal as an encore for the competent soloist well warmed up and prepared to engage with the challenges of presenting the choice of tempo is concerned.
The dance element is particular strong in French music and this is a dance inspired instrumental with a sectional structure has a strong repetitive element. The realisation plays back at 118 quarter note crotchet beats to the minute. The music editor has chosen not to indicate the tempo in the music score using an appropriate Italian term but players do need to play the movement at a brisk tempo.
There is a modulation to the dominant key at bar 51 where some attention needs to be paid to playing the correct accidentals.
A performance piece to challenge players to step up to advanced level standards although rhythmical and articulation aspects can be micro-managed in presenting the movement for performance to an audience
There are some rhythmic options that can be explored in the section 51-57.The music editor suggests first playing the 7 bars as eighth note or quavers and then introducing rhythmic options and complexity of sixteenth notes, sixteenth note triplets and thirty second notes. (quavers, semi quavers and demisemiquavers!)
Notes need to articulated clearly and particularly in the final section from bars 80 to 88 players may wish to play the sixteenth note semi quavers with a staccato touch.
A flute part is appended to the full score in the pdf download.
Piano accompaniments are available playing at 112, 118, 124, 132 quarter note or crotchet beats to the minute.

In this arrangement of the Bach - Gounod “Ave Maria” from PlentyMusic for cello and piano Gounod’s melody is played by the cellist while the Bach Prelude No. 1 is played by the pianist. The music is in the original key of C. There is no definitive edition of the work and there are countless melodic variants so do expect to hear the movement played differently particularly in respect to the last four bars. Gounod’s arrangement has an extra bar (bar 27) than Bach’s original Prelude which has a total of 35 bars. In Gounod’s arrangement the first 4 bars are repeated making it 40 bars long without a repeat. Gounod’s melody if time allows should be internalised so that players they can concentrate on the tonal and interpretative aspects of their performance which in time will enable them to make the movement their own. The performance focus should always be on communicating the beauty of the melody in a legato singing style. The music editor suggests avoiding any exaggerated playing or eccentricities from the ornamentation point of view. There are many different interpretations of the Gounod arrangement particularly as to how the dotted notes are played and the pick-up or anacrusis notes in the section from bar 23 to bar 28. There are as many different endings to the movement as there are performances - deciding how the last 4 notes /4 bars are to be played is a topic in itself. In making a decision players should essentially consider the range of the instrument they are playing. Some of the tied notes can be/and are untied in the closing section particularly by brass players and other instrumentalists playing at a slow tempo. The best advice is to listen to contemporary practice and on the basis of the evidence make your own decision. Rhythmically the accompaniment needs to be played by the pianist in an even and as controlled way as possible. Pianists will need to make use of the sustaining pedal and its use is indicated in the opening bars and the pattern although not indicated should continue through the movement. The best rule to follow when using the sustaining pedal is simply not to overpedal and obscure the clarity of the harmony. Piano accompaniments are available as mp3 downloads playing at 63, 66, 68, 70 and 72 beats per minute (bpm). Pitch is at A = 440 hertz and the recording quality is 256kbps which will allow the recordings to be amplified and used in performances, teaching and practice contexts. Originally published as a Meditation on Prelude No. 1 by J. S. Bach the music appeared in 1859 with a text setting of the Latin prayer “Ave Maria” which has become widely known and performed both as an instrumental and vocal solo. Whilst Bach is a baroque composer Gounod, a French composer, known particularly for his operas belongs to the romantic period in music history. The movement is frequently performed at weddings and funerals as well as being an excellent concert piece. As this movement is so familiar to audiences performers cannot afford to even go near playing a wrong note never mind actually playing one! Close

Ave Maria is one of the most beautiful melodies from the romantic era composed by Schubert in 1825 This intermediate level arrangement from PlentyMusic is for cello and piano. This song was composed by Schubert in 1825 as part of a song cycle based on Walter Scott’s The Lady of the Lake. Most performances that are sung, particularly for weddings, nowadays make use of the text of the Latin prayer “Ave Maria.” The work is identified as Schubert’s Opus 52 No.6 D.839. As an instrumental arrangement of Ave Maria the barring has been made appropriate for instrumentalists to read. Whilst the melody and accompaniment does sound very on the ear and suggests that it is an easy piece of music to play there are several technical and musical challenges to be overcome before Schubert's Ave Maria can be played both competently and confidently. The playback tempo in the realisation is 36 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute (bpm) although the music editor suggests that it is probably best to learn the movement with an awareness of an eighth note or quaver pulse. The tempo marking in Schubert’s score is Sehr langsam which means very slow. Singers do frequently take a slower tempo than instrumentalists. The tempo indication in the PlentyMusic instrumental arrangements is Largo. Whilst use of the sustaining pedal is suggested the pedal markings are only indicated in the first bar and are then hidden in the video score. Accompaniments are available as mp3 downloads from the PlentyMusic website enabling cellists players to enjoy an ensemble experience as part of their daily practice routine. They are available with and without repeats and play at 32, 36, and 40 quarter (crotchet) beats to the minute. They are recorded at 256kbps. The sheet music scores do have the repeats indicated so instrumentalists not playing the repeat will need to play the second ending in the score. One of the greatest challenges in music is playing a repeat simply because playing the same music again requires much greater concentration. If you play something through once logic suggests that it will be easier to play when repeated although this does not always prove to be the case. Young musicians need to be aware of this. In this instance cellists players have the option of playing through the repeat an octave higher. Instrumentalists need to have a clear understanding and intention as to how the melody is to be played particularly from the rhythmic point of view. The cross rhythms, dotted notes, triplet figuration and ornaments all present challenges. The melody itself needs to be played in a legato or singing style. Players need to be always conscious and aware of the triplet figuration played in the accompaniment. The ornaments are indicated with symbols in the sheet music score but are written out in the video score which can be referenced on our YouTube channel. In bars 4 and 5 the third beat melody notes can be played as quarter notes (crotchets) and the challenges of playing the short essentially ornamental notes can be added later. If you have any feedback to give about the score or require an accompaniment with a different tempo please do contact PlentyMusic either by email or LiveChat. Close

Adiós A Cuba (Farewell to Cuba) is one of Ignacio Cervantes most popular works. This advanced level arrangement from PlentyMusic is for guitar trio. It features many of the rhythmic patterns characteristic of Cuban music. It is an excellent movement to encourage rhythmic accuracy and developing a sense and awareness of pulse in ensemble music making. The rhythmic shapes need to be possibly learnt and made secure by being clapped/tapped. In the opening section with the strong repetitive element players should be aiming at tonal and dynamic contrast in their playing of the repeating motif. There are some idiomatic rhythmic shapes in the writing whilst the musical texture lends itself to being very suitable for arrangement as an ensemble piece. This is music that features modal shifts and elements of chromaticism. The realisation plays back at 60 quarter note beats to the minute. This is music that allows for subtle tempo changes in performance whether it be speeding up, slowing down or returning to an “a tempo” marking. Whilst rits. or slowing down feature in the realisation the accelerando though marked is ignored. There is an opportunity to perhaps to included pauses in the music at bars 17 and 33 although they are not indicated in the scores. In the video score the instrument parts are notated at written pitch. Octave transpositions have been explored in the lines to keep to the most appropriate ranges of instruments. Players may well want to explore octave ranges of the instrument they are playing. The music editor suggests downloading the free piano sheet music score from the website to understand the relative pitch elements of the music score. Ignacio Cervantes was born in Havana, Cuba and this is one of his most popular pieces and melancholy in character. The habanera rhythmic pattern features strongly in the music of the composer who mostly composed for the piano. His piano pieces tend to be quite short but are idiomatic and imbued with the colours and rhythms of his home country. If the arrangement would benefit from some re-scoring please advise the PlentyMusic office with your suggestions. Instrumental parts are appended to the full music score which can be downloaded as a pdf. Close

Robert Schumann’s Study in Canon No. 5 from his Opus 56 collection is a challenging movement to play and interpret. Whilst the music is quite vivid, the context is unclear in what is structurally a ternary form movement. The organ version has a playback tempo of 96 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the to the minute. The tempo direction in the score is to play the movement “Not too fast.” A canon arises in the description of a musical piece simply because musical ideas are imitated by another voice or instrument. It doesn’t necessarily describe the overall form or structure of a piece. The Study in Canon No. 5 is in three sections ABA’ with Section B beginning at bar 37 and the varied repeat of A at bar 83. The canonic element in Schumann’s time references all the musical elements and not just pitch: dynamics, articulation, ornamentation are all part of the canonic process. The crushed notes or acciaccaturas are a prominent musical feature. This is essentially a study in the articulation of short notes and occasional longer notes. Compositional process is evident from bar 49 where the canonic element involves inversion. There are some limitations regarding the range and choice of organ sounds in the realisation. Players should listen to performances on actual instruments available on streaming media. Close

The Sonata for Piano Duet in D K.381 was composed time between 1772-74 and was written for Mozart to play with his elder sister Nannerl. As a work it has been described as a reduction of an Italian symphony and is contemporary with his opera Lucio Silla K.135 composed when he was aged 16. The First Movement: Allegro is typically Mozartian both in spirit and musical content. The realisation plays back at 144 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute. It is a very purposeful movement requiring light hands which is perhaps a musical element difficult to suggest in a realisation. The repeats although marked in the score are not played. There is plenty of opportunity for players to fine tune their playing of legato and staccato touches and to develop tremolo playing. The music editor favours a dry acoustic in recordings enabling clarity in the communication of the music. Accompaniments in mp3 format recorded at 256kbps which have a 4 bar count in are available at 120, 132 and 144 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute. For those needing more information on how to play the ornaments refer to the video score on our YouTube channel where the ornaments have been written out to give clarity to what is a confusing area. When learning a movement it is often best to omit the ornamentation in the first instance. Close

The music opens and closes with an Andantino section that plays back at 72 quarter note beats to the minute while the section marked poco più mosso plays at 84 quarter note or crotchet beats to the minute. Both appoggiaturas (leaning notes) and acciaccaturas (crushed notes) feature as ornaments in the score. The texture can be described as a melody played as a canon and creating two voices, combined with an accompaniment figuration very typical of much of the composers keyboard music and a bass line.
The Studies in Canon Opus 45 date from 1845 and were composed when the composer was focused on developing contrapuntal discipline in his writing. Pianists can also explore the piano duet version of Georges Bizet and the two piano version by Claude Debussy whilst the piano trio arrangements of Kirchner offer excellent additional repertoire.When playing this music on the organ understand than it was composed for an instrument described as a pedal piano which had one keyboard with a pedal board. It was often used as a practice instrument by organists. It is possible to see one being played on YouTube. Close

Theodor Kirchner was a highly regarded musician, composer and arranger whose career sadly did not live up to expectation simply because of personal failings. The trio arrangements of Schumann’s Studies in Canon date from 1888. In this arrangement for violin, violoncello and piano the imitative and canonic features of the music are very evident in the sharing of the lines between the instruments. The German word ‘Innig’ which means ‘heartfelt’ is used to describe the mood of the music at the beginning of the movement although the music editor has favoured the use of Italian terms in the score detail. The Studies in Canon Opus 56 of Schumann are perfect pieces for the music student because they refererence music of the past with the chromatic language of the romantic period and are appealing to play. The Opus 56 collection can be appreciated on so many levels and the pieces exist in a number of different arrangements. This is music that re-invents J.S.Bach style than directly imitating or copying it. The playback score or realisation is clearly not as nuanced as a live performance. The texture is straightforward to understand in that there are two melodies exploring the canonic and imitative aspects of the music, a chordal accompaniment and a bass line. The realisation plays at 72 eighth (quaver) notes to the minute in the first section from bar 1 to 19 and then 80 eighth notes for the remainder of the movement with the occasional slowing down or rit. The performance practice associated with the Study in Canon No. 4 also varies adding further interest to the music’s study. The score detail in place in the sheet music score is particularly relevant to the tonal qualities of modern instruments. Managing the tempo through the playing of the whole piece is one of the challenges of a performance and more than one approach can be employed. The dynamic range is an additional aspect of the performance that can be explored. It is necessary to have an understanding of the strong chromatic element in the music which is particularly evident in the bass line and the chordal accompaniment. In addition to Schumann’s the original composition for pedal piano there are many arrangements of the Opus 56 collection namely Georges Bizet’s for piano duet and Claude Debussy’s for two pianos. Players need to pay attention to the rhythmic detail and the chromatic detail. The mordents have been written out in the video score which can be viewed on our YouTube channel although symbols are used in the sheet music score. The use of the sustaining pedal whilst recommended has not been indicated in the sheet music score. The small decorative notes in the turns in bars 17, 19 and 65 do not sound in the video score or realisation. Instrument players will need to ensure that the reading of the notes and accidentals is accurate as the chromatic element is a strong feature There is also opportunity to explore tempo rubato in a performance. In romantic music this refers to the give and take (speeding up and slowing down) as far as tempo is concerned. There are many recordings to explore of the trio arrangements and it would be well worth some time listening to a sample of the different versions that exist.
The mp3 accompaniment downloads available enable players to enjoy an ensemble music experience playing the violon part as a solo. The piano and violoncello sound in the accompaniment. Accompaniment 1 plays at 68 eighth (quaver) note beats to the minute in the first section and then 72 eighth (quaver) note beats to the minute from bar 20. Accompaniment 2 plays at 72 eighth (quaver) note beats to the minute in the first section and then 80 eighth (quaver) note beats to the minute. Accompaniment 3 plays at 76 eighth (quaver) note beats to the minute in the first section and 84 eighth (quaver) note beats to the minute. Accompaniment 4 plays at 80 eighth (quaver) note beats to the minute in the first section and 88 eighth (quaver) note beats to the minute. Accompaniment 5 plays at 84 eighth (quaver) note beats to the minute in the first section and 92 eighth (quaver) note beats to the minute. There is a two bar eighth note (quaver) count in to the sound of a woodblock. Close

It is necessary to have an understanding of the strong chromatic element in the music which is particularly evident in the bass line and the chordal accompaniment. In addition to Schumann’s the original composition for pedal piano there are many arrangements of the Opus 56 collection namely Georges Bizet’s for piano duet and Claude Debussy’s for two pianos. Players need to pay attention to the rhythmic detail and the chromatic detail. The mordents have been written out in the video score which can be viewed on our YouTube channel although symbols are used in the sheet music score. The use of the sustaining pedal whilst recommended has not been indicated in the sheet music score. The small decorative notes in the turns in bars 17, 19 and 65 do not sound in the video score or realisation. Instrument players will need to ensure that the reading of the notes and accidentals is accurate as the chromatic element is a strong feature There is also opportunity to explore tempo rubato in a performance. In romantic music this refers to the give and take (speeding up and slowing down) as far as tempo is concerned. There are many recordings to explore of the trio arrangements and it would be well worth some time listening to a sample of the different versions that exist.
The mp3 accompaniment downloads available enable players to enjoy an ensemble music experience playing the flute part as a solo. The piano and violoncello sound in the accompaniment. Accompaniment 1 plays at 68 eighth (quaver) note beats to the minute in the first section and then 72 eighth (quaver) note beats to the minute from bar 20.

Theodor Kirchner was a highly regarded musician, composer and arranger whose career sadly did not live up to expectation simply because of personal failings. The trio arrangements of Schumann’s Studies in Canon date from 1888. In this arrangement for oboe, violoncello and piano the imitative and canonic features of the music are very evident in the sharing of the lines between the instruments. The German word ‘Innig’ which means ‘heartfelt’ is used to describe the mood of the music at the beginning of the movement although the music editor has favoured the use of Italian terms in the score detail. The Studies in Canon Opus 56 of Schumann are perfect pieces for the music student because they refererence music of the past with the chromatic language of the romantic period and are appealing to play. The Opus 56 collection can be appreciated on so many levels and the pieces exist in a number of different arrangements. This is music that re-invents J.S.Bach style than directly imitating or copying it. The realisation is clearly not as nuanced as a live performance. The texture is straightforward to understand in that there are two melodies exploring the canonic and imitative aspects of the music, a chordal accompaniment and a bass line. The realisation plays at 72 eighth (quaver) notes to the minute in the first section from bar 1 to 19 and then 80 eighth notes for the remainder of the movement with the occasional slowing down or rit. The performance practice associated with the Study in Canon No. 4 also varies adding further interest to the music’s study. The score detail in place in the sheet music score is particularly relevant to the tonal qualities of modern instruments. Managing the tempo through the playing of the whole piece is one of the challenges of a performance and more than one approach can be employed. The dynamic range is an additional aspect of the performance that can be explored. It is necessary to have an understanding of the strong chromatic element in the music which is particularly evident in the bass line and the chordal accompaniment.

The Studies in Canon Opus 56 of Schumann are perfect pieces for the music student because they refer to the past with the chromatic language of the romantic period and are ordered and appealing music to play. The Opus 56 collection can be appreciated on so many levels and the pieces exist in a number of different arrangements. This is music that re-invents J.S.Bach style rather than directly imitating or copying it.
The texture is straightforward in that there are two melodies exploring the canonic and imitative aspects of the music, a chordal accompaniment and a bass line.

Managing the tempo through the playing of the whole piece is one of the challenges of a performance and more than one approach can be employed. The dynamic range is an additional aspect of the performance that can be explored. It is necessary to have an understanding of the strong chromatic element in the music which is particularly evident in the bass line and the chordal accompaniment. There is value in organists playing through the lines to understand the imitation processes that are incorporated in the score. The music included in Robert Schumann’s Opus 56 collection has been arranged by Georges Bizet for piano duet and Claude Debussy for two pianos and in these arrangements the composing principles of canon and imitation aspects are much easier to explore. Players need to pay attention to the rhythmic and chromatic detail. The mordents have been written out in the video score whilst the small decorative notes in bars 17, 19 and 65 do not sound. In the video score each line of music is associated with a stave and so the music is presented slightly differently to how it appears in the sheet music score. The video score plays at 72 quaver beats from bar 1 – 18 and and then in the piu mosso section at 80 eighth notes (quaver) to the minute. Organists will need to ensure that their reading of the notes and accidentals is accurate as the chromatic element in the movement is strong . There is opportunity to explore tempo rubato in a performance. In romantic music this refers to the give and take (speeding up and slowing down) as far as tempo is concerned. Close

The Duet in F BWV 803 was published in 1739 being one of 4 Duettos. The sheet music copy available from the PlentyMusic website has suggested fingering in place and the cadential ornamentation is written out. The second duet in F major BWV 803 is a fugue written in the form of a da capo aria ABA. The 4 Duets are part of Clavier-Übung III or the German Organ Mass and composed really at the zenith of the composer’s contrapuntal writing. The edited music score has suggested fingering in place which should serve as a useful guide in the first instance. The music editor’s concept is that once familiarised with the movement players will default to the plain score perhaps substituting their own choice of fingering when they feel it is appropriate.The tempo of the piano realisation and video score is 96 quarter note beats (crotchet) beats to the minute. A piece when played on the piano with energy and purpose that really can/does come alive. This is quite stunning contrapuntal music composed when J.S. Bach was at the top of his form. A very delicate almost paintbrush stoke is required particularly in the B section but an awareness of how to use weight in the hands is also most applicable in the A section. It is becoming one of the music editors most absorbing pieces to play and listen to simply because it explores so many aspects of articulation and performance and yet the conception is in just two parts. Pianists need to have a Lightness in the hands and touch needs to be explored at all times. Close

This music was published in 1860. This arrangement for flute, acoustic guitar and violoncello playing pizzicato has a playback tempo of 60 dotted quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute. The movement in ABA (Ternary form) which was very much the standard form during the romantic period. Composers needed to follow the conventions of their time to ensure the patterns of their music were readily recognized by audiences. The A section is in D and the B section in F. The repeat does not sound in the playback. There has been some re-scoring but not re-writing of the original material. This is an excellent piece for developing 3 v 2 playing which is such a characteristic element of Spanish and music based on Spanish models. The music editor suggests practicing the music slowly in the first instance so that all rhythmic shapes and patterns are secure. Gottschalk’s music is influenced by Chopin. As the repetitive element in the movement is strong there is an opportunity to explore articulation, tonal quality and dynamics in a performance. The music editor suggests that this movement along with much of Gottschalk’s music is worth discovering particularly in arrangements where the playing level allows ready access to the music. Individual parts for the three instruments are appended to the full score The small ornamental notes in the flute part (acciaccaturas or crushed notes) should be omitted whilst the movement is being learnt. It is then up to the player’s own discretion as whether to play them or not. Accompaniments have not been prepared for this arrangement. Louis Moreau Gottschalk (1829 – 1869) was an American composer and pianist born in New Orleans who spent most of his performing career touring and giving concerts aka working hard. Manchega originates as a concert étude for piano – an étude in music is a study. Such movements are intended to improve and demonstrate technique and in the context of the original arrangement was intended to demonstrate the composer’s virtuoso piano playing. He was often referred to as the greatest pianist from the “New World.” Chopin, Liszt and Alkan were great admirers of his talent. His compositions established him as one of the first identifiable American composers. In his music it is possible to hear a mix of American Creole, African-American and European music traditions. His early works in particularly are imbued with the sounds that he heard in his youth in Louisiana. The syncopated nature of his music anticipates many of the characteristics of later American ragtime and jazz music. Close

Moritz Moszkowski (1854 – 1925) was a German composer of Polish – Jewish descent who was an exceptional pianist and well known at the end of the 19th century as a concert pianist, conductor, composer and teacher. He was also a competent violinist. He composed many small-scale piano works of which his 5 Spanish Dances Opus 12 set are probably the best known existing in several formats. After moving to Paris in 1897 his health deteriorated from 1908 and his career quickly went into decline. From being rich and famous he soon lost all his money as a result of exchanging the copyrights on his music for government bonds which became worthless at the outbreak of the war in 1914. The Spanish sound is referenced by use of the phrygian mode which has the semi-tones between the first and second and the fifth and sixth degree of the scale - D Eb F G A Bb C D. The rhythmic shapes are from patterns associated with the Bolero which originated in Spain during the C18th as a form of ballroom dance and became a template and form used by many composers of art music. Music associated with particular countries and regions of Europe particular on its fringes became very popular towards the end of the 19th century in a movement that was known as nationalism. Moszkowski was a very well known composer artist in his own time but after his death like many composers his music disappeared from concert programmes. Score detail is in place for the whole movement simply for clarity. The suggested tempo to play this movement advised by the music editor is 104 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute but a realistic and equally satisfactory tempo is 96 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute. There are two options as to how to play the trills . Either as in the video score which can be viewed on our YouTube channel or by playing semi quavers. One of the characteristics of a Bolero is that it they speed up at the end and this feature has been retained in the realizations and accompaniments.

Teresa Carreño 1853 – 1917 was a Venezuelan concert pianist and composer whose career spanned a period of 54 years. Known for her powerful and spirited playing she earned the title from her Berlin years as the “Valkyrie of the piano.” She was closely associated with the music of Edward MacDowell, a pupil, premiering several of his works and also the music of Amy Beach. She lived in the USA and Berlin which became her base for her years in Europe. Her schedule of concerts and the longevity of her career suggests that she was very hard working. A superb player of octaves she possessed a powerful tone and great strength. She travelled widely performing in Europe including the Henry Wood Proms, USA and Australia. Henry Wood wrote that "It is difficult to express adequately what all musicians felt about this great woman who looked like a queen among pianists - and played like a goddess.” She must indeed have been a larger than life character because over 100 years after her death her legacy remains strong and there are player piano recordings of her work available. “Mi Teresita” (Little Waltz) composed in 1885 for her daughter Teresita was one of her most popular pieces during her lifetime and often performed as an encore at her own concerts. In this arrangement for euphonium accompanied by the piano the sounding key is Eb. Euphonium players should be aiming for a beautiful legato and focusing on the tonal quality of their playing. The movement should not be played too quickly and there is a captivating closing section. The considerable range of dynamics also needs to be explored in a performance. Rubato is an aspect of the performance that players can consider although it is not a featured of the realization. The melody is reminiscent of something that might feature in a music box and it is a pity that a lilting quality isn’t as well represented in the realization as it might be. A euphonium part appropriately transposed is appended to the full score. Piano accompaniments are also available for download in mp3 format at tempi of Accompaniment (1) 128 Accompaniment (2) 124 and Accompaniment (3) 120 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute. Close

Known for her powerful and spirited playing she earned the title from her Berlin years as the “Valkyrie of the piano.” She was closely associated with the music of Edward MacDowell, a pupil, premiering several of his works and also the music of Amy Beach. She lived in the USA and Berlin which became her base for her years in Europe. Her schedule of concerts and the longevity of her career suggests that she was very hard working. A superb player of octaves she possessed a powerful tone and great strength. She travelled widely performing in Europe including the Henry Wood Proms, USA and Australia. Henry Wood wrote that "It is difficult to express adequately what all musicians felt about this great woman who looked like a queen among pianists - and played like a goddess.” She must indeed have been a larger than life character because over 100 years after her death her legacy remains strong and there are player piano recordings of her work available. “Mi Teresita” (Little Waltz ) composed in 1885 for her daughter Teresita was one of her most popular pieces during her lifetime and often performed as an encore at her own concerts. In this arrangement for bassoon accompanied by the piano the sounding key in D. Bassoon players should be aiming for a beautiful legato and focusing on the tonal quality of their playing. The movement should not be played too quickly and there is a captivating closing section. The considerable range of dynamics also needs to be explored in a performance. Rubato is an aspect of the performance that players can consider although it is not featured in the realization. The melody is reminiscent of something that might feature in a music box and it is a pity that a lilting quality isn’t quite represented in the realization. A bassoon is appended to the full score. Piano accompaniments are also available for download in mp3 format at tempi of Accompaniment (1) 128 Accompaniment (2) 124 and Accompaniment (3) 120 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute. Close

The Three Marches Opus 45 for piano duet (piano 4 hands) were composed in 1803 and published in 1804. The march form features strongly in 19th century music. In March No.1 the composer does not quite follow convention in the formal arrangement and symmetry of the typical March and Trio. March No. 1 can be represented as follows - March A B B Trio A A B March Da Capo (no repeats) A B. The realisation and music scores are presented as the movement is performed so repeats where indicated are played. The score detail in Beethoven’s music is always interesting particularly regarding dynamics. Accents for example, are often placed on the weaker beats of the bar and the surprise element in a score is always strong. The playback score plays back at a standard march tempo of 60 half note beats to the minute. The Trio is played at the same tempo as the March. Beethoven is particularly fond of adding closing sections often referred to as codas and there is a lovely example from bars 36 to 40. This is an excellent movement for understanding Beethoven’s approach to composition in his so called “middle” period. While many of the musical elements are straightforward the composer’s desire to expand and develop form, harmony and process are constantly evident. In addition, Beethoven’s music always has a strong rhythmic focus. All the way through the movement musical ideas are shared and developed creating what is a great ensemble piece. The ornaments in the music of Beethoven and his contemporaries also offer more challenges than those of the classical era. There are considerations as far starting notes and the number of notes played in trills - trills at important cadences can add to the dynamic and intensity of a performance. You might notice that the video score has a 6 note trill played at the end of the March although in the realization it is played as a four note shape. The Primo and Secondo parts can be downloaded as “accompaniments” enabling players to enjoy an ensemble music experience playing either the Primo or Secondo parts. The Primo part sounds on the right channel of the stereo signal and the Secondo part sounds on the left channel. The tempos are as follows in quarter note beats to the minute. Accompaniment 1 126 Accompaniment 2 120 Accompaniment 3 112. There is a four bar count in /click on the accompaniment mp3. When performing printing two pages of music on to one side of A4 offers a practical solution for players. It is a good idea for players to use a metronome in their preparation. Close

The Molto presto third movement of the Sonata for piano duet in B flat K.358 is a positive, joyous and like much of the composer’s music uplifting. Show More...
The Molto presto third movement of the Sonata for piano duet in B flat K.358 is a positive, joyous and like much of the composer’s music uplifting. The realisation plays back at a tempo of 108 half note (minim) beats to the minute. The first repeat is played in the realisation whilst the second repeat indicated in the sheet music score is not played. Multi-rests have not been used in the sheet music score but there are numbers in place indicating the empty bars in the sheet music score. This is a movement that does need to be played quickly and some of the tempi available on recordings are actually very challenging to play. The best advice is to start at a manageable tempo and then gradually increase it. The tempo of the movement as it is being played does however always need to be consistent. The music editor suggests setting a metronome to a half note (minim) beat minim beat in practice routines. There is opportunity for developing the “changing finger on a repeating note” technique and the playing of trills played by two hands requires careful practice. In the early stages of learning the movement the music editor suggests omitting the trills. For those wanting to see how the trills are played they can refer to the video score on our YouTube channel by clicking the appropriate link on the homepage of the website. The movement has many melodic shapes, textures and compositional processes characteristic of the composer and the music editor suggests that much can be learnt about the composer’s musical style by playing and listening to the piano duets. Mozart’s music always has a great sense of ensemble and his musical language is always consistent across the many musical forms that he embraced. The accompaniment downloads available enable players to enjoy an ensemble music experience playing either the primo or secondo parts. The Primo part sounds on the one channel of the stereo signal and the Secondo part sounds on the other. Accompaniment 1 plays at 108 quarter note beats (crotchet) to the minute, Accompaniment 2 at 104 quarter note beats (crotchet) to the minute and Accompaniment 3 at 104 quarter note beats (crotchet) to the minute There is a four bar count in featuring two different sounds of a wood block.

This is a stunning piece and often played as an encore. There are many fine performances of this work some of them taken at speeds that could be described as frightening. For the sake of clarity in communication the sheet music score is the same as the realisation or playback score. A plain score is also appended to the edited music score. This work needs to be played with the fingers close to the keys control and a light touch as many notes are played staccatissimo and the changing fingers on a note technique will need to be used. Where appropriate look for opportunities to use sequential fingering. The cadences can and should be played with more fluidity than is demonstrated in the realisation particularly if additional ornaments are added in the repeats. A tempo of 76 dotted quarter notes to the minute is used in the realisation and the work should be played with a one in the bar feel. If you can manage a tempo of 80 dotted quarter notes to the minute then music does really come alive
The advice on playing the ornaments is to be consistent, maintain rhythmic symmetry and explore options in the repeat sections. The music editor has yet to find two performers who have the same or at least a similar approach to the playing of the ornaments and suggests that players should listen to various performances of the work.
Padre Antonio Soler was a Spanish Catalan composer whose work belongs to the late Baroque and early Classical times. His best known works are his one movement sonatas which show the influenced by Domenico Scarlatti. Soler also took Holy Orders in his early 20’s and working at the monastery known as EL Escorial near to Madrid in Spain combining his duties as a monk with composition and teaching. His music was catalogued by Rubio early in the 20th century. This music is played on the harpsichord and piano whilst there are arrangements of this sonata for the harp and classical guitar. Close

This prelude possibly dates from 1730 and is composed in four voices or lines of music with some sections having all voices sounding, whilst in others three and sometimes only two. It opens with a section that is almost vocal in character before it transforms into a keyboard piece. There are no ornaments indicated in the score although there is an extraordinary amount of detail in the rhythmic figuration. The B section which begins at Bar 29 has some almost toccata like shapes whilst a four octave range is explored in the keyboard writing. The tempo of the realisation and playback is 72 quarter note beats to the minute and the repeats are not played. The repeat bar is indicated by a double bar at the end of bar 28 and there is also one at the end of the final bar in the sheet music score. One challenge for the performer is communicating the layers and lines that exist in the music with an awareness of an eighth note or quaver pulse. Another is to play the movement at a tempo that is appropriate and which can be maintained for the whole movement. Some of the figuration in the score can be a challenge to play if the tempo is too fast.
The piece can be performed AB, AAB and even AABB the latter making it quite a long piece. The music editor when learning the movement started with the final section bars 41-56, before playing bars 29-56 and then the piece as a whole. The specified fingering is appropriate for someone who can manage a reach of a 9th with both hands. A plain score is also appended to the edited music score. Close

The score details in the composer’s hands is written in his native Portuguese and the words bright and dry are used along with the word gingando which means girgling. The accompanist needs to have quite a percussive approach in their playing to communicate the rhythmic detail and energy of the movement. There are three piano accompaniments available at tempi of 96, 92 and 88 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute with the repeats being played. Close

This arrangement of Odeon for alto saxophone and piano is a lively rhythmic movement full of energy featuring many syncopated patterns with the realisation playing back at a tempo of 88 quarter note or crotchet beats to the minute. It is also a movement with a wide melodic range. In this particular arrangement the music has been transposed up a semitone from its original key and where necessary there are some octave transpositions in the melody line to keep within the instrument’s range. The repetition element is quite strong as is typical of a piece of popular music whilst the form of the movement can be represented by the letters AABBACCA.

A simply beautiful piece of music of chamber music possibly deserving of a more inspiring title than simply Romantic Piece No. 1 Opus 75 but suited to being played by a number of solo instruments although its origins are as a violin and piano piece. It dates from early 1887. In this arrangement for violoncello accompanied by piano there is considerable dynamic detail and any performance needs to reference this aspect of the score detail. The tempo of the playback in the realisation is 104 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute. This is an excellent piece for instrument players keen to improve their tone and legato playing as it has a very song like and melodic character. Great space is created in the accompaniment figuration which has an almost Bach quality whilst the harmonic language and at times the texture clearly belong to the late 19th century. The music editor has suggested pedalling for some parts of the movement but the guiding principle is that pedalling relates very much to changes in the bass note. The repeats are not played in the realisation. Antonín Dvorák is described as Czech composer with his work incorporating rhythms and musical features of folk music from Moravia and his native Bohemia. Like many of his contemporaries of the late romantic era who lived on what were considered to be, at the time, the peripheries of Europe, he is often described as a nationalist composer. Dvorák’s compositional style is influenced by Brahms although his works have a very individual style possessing a great sense of energy and anticipation of the new century. A violoncello part is appended to the full score. Two accompaniments are available (1) with repeats and (2) without repeats playing back at a tempo of 104 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute.

An arrangement by the composer for solo piano of this charming character piece. This movement is in ABA ternary form with the A section playing back at a tempo of 66 quarter note beats to the minute in the realisation and the faster B section at 108 quarter note beats to the minute. The music has a regular 4 bar phrase structure and there are some chromatic elements in the writing. There is opportunity for some subtle changes in tempo particularly at the ends of sections and these feature in the realisations. The melodic and rhythmic shapes of the movement are both strong and although concisely written there is plenty of contrast. It is an excellent performance piece with the opening melodic shape having an almost teasing quality. There is always a sense of movement in Grieg’s writing and the ranges of colour in his harmonic writing make his music eminently suitable to being played by many different combinations of instruments. Pianists have a number of different techniques that they develop when playing this piece including legato, staccato, accents, tenuto, spread chords, crossing over of hands and using the sustaining and sostenuto pedal. It is a very good piece for developing octave playing. The sustaining pedal needs to be used in the playing of the movement and many of the piano chords are played in a spread or arpeggiated pattern. Grieg lived at a time when there was much development in piano technique and the quality of pianos improved greatly during his lifetime with the introduction of iron framed instruments. The humour in the music also invites an exaggerated performance although not featured in the realisation. Players should listen to performances to form their own view and explore different approaches to interpreting the music. As is the case with music from this period the sheet music copy has a considerable amount of score detail. Grieg’s Norwegian Dance No.2 was published in 1880 as a piano duet or more correctly music for piano four hands. Piano duets were a very popular in the late 19th century and much music would appear in this format. Grieg was fortunate in being able to access several folk music collections and much of this collected material was incorporated into arrangements and compositions. Close

An arrangement for pitched percussion (marimba) and piano of this charming character piece. This movement is in ABA ternary form with the A section playing back at a tempo of 68 quarter note beats to the minute in the realisation and the faster B section at 112 quarter note beats to the minute. The music has a regular 4 bar phrase structure and there are some chromatic elements in the writing. There is opportunity for some subtle changes in tempo particularly at the ends of sections and these feature in the realisations. The melodic and rhythmic shapes of the movement are both strong and although concisely written there is plenty of contrast. It is an excellent performance piece with the opening melodic shape having an almost teasing quality. There is always a sense of movement in Grieg’s writing and the ranges of colour in his harmonic writing make his music eminently suitable to being played by many different combinations of instruments. Accompanying pianists have a number of different techniques that they can develop when playing this piece including legato, staccato, accents, tenuto, spread chords, crossing over of hands and using the sustaining and sostenuto pedal. It is a very good piece for developing octave playing. The sustaining pedal needs to be used in the playing of the movement and many of the piano chords are played in a spread or arpeggiated pattern. Grieg lived at a time when there was much development in piano technique and the quality of pianos improved greatly during his lifetime with the introduction of iron framed instruments. The humour in the music also invites an exaggerated performance although not featured in the realisation. Players should listen to performances to form their own view and explore different approaches to interpreting the music. Where appropriate some octave transpositions have been incorporated into the oboe melody line.

The origins of the music are as a piano piece composed in 1899 when Ravel was studying with Fauré. It exists in several arrangements and was popularised as a piano piece by the Spanish pianist Ricardo Viñes. Players should be aiming for both legato and beauty of tone in their playing. The music editor suggests an initial tempo of 63 quarter note beats to the minute in the first instance and as confidence and competence grows possibly slowing the tempo. The aspect of performing music at the correct tempo in a slow piece is quite challenging for players. This is quite a full arrangement for the solo player. However because of its sectional structure A (12 bars) B (7 bars) B’ (8 bars) A’ (12 bars) C (10 bars )C’ (10 bars) A’’ (13 bars). It becomes an easy matter to shorten the arrangement by simply omitting some of the repeating sections.
Players may wish to advise the PlentyMusic Office of some fine tuning that the arrangement requires in respect to its playability. If there is a need for some cut down or shortened accompaniments please again advise the PlentyMusic Office and these will be made available. There are several arrangements of this music in existence and the intention of this one has been to keep as close to the original piano score as possible. This arrangement for viola with piano accompaniment sounds in the key of G. The pavane has its origins as an Italian 16th century slow stately dance. Referencing past musical forms in their works became popular among Ravel’s contemporaries including Debussy. The cue sized decorative notes can be omitted whilst the piece in the early stages of studying the piece. The realisation plays back at a tempo of 57 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute and there are opportunities for give and take in the tempo particularly at the end of phrases. This is an ambitious and complete arrangement Ravel’s piece. Time does need to be spent understanding the musical texture and the lines of music. The composer’s own language has also been retained in the language used in the score The chromatic sections require careful study in terms of the notes to be played whilst the phrase endings often explore parallel movement in a characteristic sweep. Ravel frequently avoids the use of thirds in final chords of sections. The barring that is in place is to help the player to make the rhythmic connections in the movement. Performers should listen to a number of different performances played by different instruments to get a good overview of how the music can be best performed. The bold ending is a very characteristic feature of the original piano score and the suggestion is that it should be retained. The use of the piano sustaining pedal markings are not indicated in the score but its use is required. There are three piano accompaniments available at tempi of 1=63, 2=60 and 3=57 quarter note beats to the minute. A viola part is appended to the full score. Close

The origins of the music are as a piano piece composed in 1899 when Ravel was studying with Fauré. It exists in several arrangements and was popularised as a piano piece by the Spanish pianist Ricardo Viñes. Players should be aiming for both legato and beauty of tone in their playing. The music editor suggests an initial tempo of 63 quarter note beats to the minute in the first instance and as confidence and competence grows possibly slowing the tempo. The aspect of performing music at the correct tempo in a slow piece is quite challenging for players. This is quite a full arrangement for the solo player. However because of its sectional structure A (12 bars) B (7 bars) B’ (8 bars) A’ (12 bars) C (10 bars )C’ (10 bars) A’’ (13 bars). It becomes an easy matter to shorten the arrangement by simply omitting some of the repeating sections.
Players may wish to advise the PlentyMusic Office of some fine tuning that the arrangement requires in respect to its playability. If there is a need for some cut down or shortened accompaniments please again advise the PlentyMusic Office and these will be made available. There are several arrangements of this music in existence and the intention of this one has been to keep as close to the original piano score as possible. This arrangement for tuba with piano accompaniment sounds in the key of G. The pavane has its origins as an Italian 16th century slow stately dance. Referencing past musical forms in their works became popular among Ravel’s contemporaries including Debussy. The cue sized decorative notes can be omitted whilst the piece in the early stages of studying the piece. The realisation plays back at a tempo of 57 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute and there are opportunities for give and take in the tempo particularly at the end of phrases. This is an ambitious and complete arrangement Ravel’s piece. Time does need to be spent understanding the musical texture and the lines of music. The composer’s own language has also been retained in the language used in the score The chromatic sections require careful study in terms of the notes to be played whilst the phrase endings often explore parallel movement in a characteristic sweep. Ravel frequently avoids the use of thirds in final chords of sections. The barring that is in place is to help the player to make the rhythmic connections in the movement. Performers should listen to a number of different performances played by different instruments to get a good overview of how the music can be best performed. The bold ending is a very characteristic feature of the original piano score and the suggestion is that it should be retained. The use of the piano sustaining pedal markings are not indicated in the score but its use is required. There are three piano accompaniments available at tempi of 1=63, 2=60 and 3=57 quarter note beats to the minute. A violin part transposed is appended to the full score. Close

The origins of the music are as a piano piece composed in 1899 when Ravel was studying with Fauré. It exists in several arrangements and was popularised as a piano piece by the Spanish pianist Ricardo Viñes. Players should be aiming for both legato and beauty of tone in their playing. The music editor suggests an initial tempo of 63 quarter note beats to the minute in the first instance and as confidence and competence grows possibly slowing the tempo. The aspect of performing music at the correct tempo in a slow piece is quite challenging for players. This is quite a full arrangement for the solo player. However because of its sectional structure A (12 bars) B (7 bars) B’ (8 bars) A’ (12 bars) C (10 bars )C’ (10 bars) A’’ (13 bars). It becomes an easy matter to shorten the arrangement by simply omitting some of the repeating sections.

This piece comes from Robert Schumann’s piano collection Waldscenen Opus 82 and dates from 1849. The title “Vogel als Prophet” translates as “Bird of Prophet” or “The Prophet Bird.” It is an impressive piece in ABA (ternary form) and has been arranged for violin and piano. The tempo indication in German is Langsam, sehr zart which translates as Slowly, very tenderly. The music has a haunting quality and offers challenges for both for the violinist and accompanist making it a very good test piece. The playback in the realisation is a little on the tense side and does not explore tempo rubato which at this time was an aspect of performance practice. Poise and control are needed in a performance whilst all the shapes need to be practiced for accuracy and shape. This is a music score that offers many challenges to players. The tempo in the realisation is 60 quarter note beats although there is opportunity to slow down at the end of phrases. The trill has been written out on an ossia stave in the sheet music score. The sustaining pedal has been indicated in the score but minimal use is suggested. This is a work that challenges the performers to make it their own in the sense that from the first note to the last both the players and the listeners must be captivated. It is a piece where it very easy for the music to be lost on the journey of a performance. It is important for players have a clear understanding of the rhythmic notation and intention - 3 thirty-second notes (demisemiquavers) are to be played in the time of one sixteenth note (or semiquaver). The music editor suggests that at the end of bar 18 the tempo is slowed and again at the end of bar 23 before the return to Tempo I at bar 25. This arrangement keeps as close to Schumann’s score copy as possible. A violin part is appended to the full score. Close

This piece known as Evening in Transylvania and also Evening in the Village (Este a székelyeknél) is from the composer’s piano collection Ten Easy Pieces. There are two original melodies one played slowly with rubato and the other played quickly and in strict time. Essentially whilst working in the folk music idiom Bártok remains loyal to the classical principles of contrast in music by exploring two different ideas. Bártok is always very precise about the articulations that he requires in his music and players need to take notice of the dynamics which are notated in all clefs. The rhythmic purpose of his music is always very strong whilst delivery of the melody needs to be quite fluid in the rubato section the music it nevertheless needs to be delivered with a strong sense of pulse. From bar 42 the music texturally is notated and conceived in four parts. In the realisation the tempo is 76 quarter note (crotchet) beats in the lento rubato sections and 132 quarter note (crotchet beats) beats in the Vivo, non rubato sections. The realisation lacks a little rhythmic flexibility at the ends of phrases in the rubato sections and the music editor suggests that listening to a number of performances will be helpful in coming to an understanding of how this music should be performed. Accompanists will want to make use of the sustaining pedal although this has not been indicated through the entirety of the score although the music editor suggests minimal use as modern instruments are tonally much stronger that those of the composer’s own time. Bártok considered the piano to be a percussion instrument as a composer and many of his folk style music arrangements explore the modal element that is so characteristic of folk music and his accompaniments make use of ostinatos. Bártok is one of the greatest 20th century composers and made a significant contribution to the repertoire. As a composer he worked on small canvasses as well as large ones and frequently ideas were transferred from the small to the large. This particular piece was transcribed by the composer into the first of his Hungarian Sketches for orchestra. He was Hungarian by birth and was important collector of folk music and one of the founders of the relatively new subject of ethnomusicology. He has something in common with Schubert in that both of them were very creative towards the end of their lives. Bártok left Europe in 1940 to settle in the U.S.A. but his health declined and he died from leukaemia in 1945 sadly before many of his concert hall works had become well known and recognised as great works. Rubato is defined as the temporary disregarding of strict tempo to allow an expressive quickening or slowing down, usually without altering the overall pace. It is a playing approach particularly associated with the music of Chopin. A viola part is appended to the music score. Close

This is a full version of the Pavan for flute with piano accompaniment based on the piano and SATB vocal arrangement by the composer. The elements of the piece are a distinctive melody, combined with an accompaniment that is for much of the time figurative in character, the occasional countermelody and bass line. Fauré composed music that references both modal and harmonic scales and this explains the feature known as “false relation” (conflicting accidentals in different voices) which appear in bar 22 and 23 and several other bars. It is music that needs to be played with clarity and dignity and not too quickly. The realisation plays back at 84 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute. If the movement is played too quickly it loses its poise and gracefulness. The music exists in many different arrangements but is probably most familiar in its orchestral version although it started off life as a piano piece in the 1880’s. The trill in the realisation begins on the note & begins and ends with sixteenth notes as shown in the video score on YouTube although trills are open to being interpreted in different ways. The pavane has its origins as a slow processional dance popular in the renaissance period but has since been given a new lease of life by composers including Fauré and Ravel. The music editor suggests that the pianist makes limited use of use of the sustaining pedal particularly when the bass notes have a quarter note (crotchet) value. A flute part is appended to the full score. Close

This is a piano arrangement based on the piano and SATB vocal arrangement of the complete version by the composer. The layout is intended to clarify the voicing of the music.

The trill in the realisation begins on the E# beginning and ending with sixteenth notes as shown in the video score on YouTube although trills are open to being interpreted in different ways. One of the playing challenges is that the same note can be sounded in a different part. The pavane has its origins as a slow processional dance popular in the renaissance period but has since been given a new lease of life by composers including Fauré and Ravel. The music editor suggests limited use of use of the sustaining pedal particularly when the bass notes have a quarter note (crotchet) value. This is an excellent piece for exploring the tonal range of the piano but avoid playing the quieter sections too loudly. Close

Louis Moreau Gottschalk was an American composer and pianist who worked mainly outside the U.S.A. Born in New Orleans he travelled to Europe at the age of 13 to study music. Much of the early music he composed was based on music he remembered from his childhood in Louisiana where he was exposed to a variety of musical traditions. From the 1860’s he was regarded as the best known pianist from the New World and his talent was recognised by both Chopin and Liszt. A tempo of 100 quarter note beats to the minutes is used in the realisation of “Le Banjo” which dates from 1853 whilst the piece needs to be played with a very even tempo with the piano being played quite percussively. The tied notes need to be carefully identified in both the melody and bass line where the acciaccaturas (crushed notes) are used to recreate the “hammer on” technique used by players of fretted instruments. The term Ardito means bold whilst Ben misurato indicates that the music needs to be played in a strict tempo and the term martelltato is an indication that the notes are to be strongly accented. Whilst this is a cut down and simplified version of the work the original in the key of F sharp major is often played by piano virtuosi as an encore. The sustaining pedal hasn’t been indicated in the score but limited use may be considered. In this arrangement for solo piano the playing context is for the music to be presented as a concert item for intermediate level players. Stephen Foster’s Camptown Races is referenced both at the beginning and the end of the arrangement whilst the trills in bar 81 and bar 149 start on the note. There is a further challenge in that a concert version of the piece can be readily sourced for those who like a real challenge. Close

This music was composed in 1763 and anticipates particularly thematically and rhythmically musical directions later explored by Beethoven and others. Pianists need to approach playing this movement with clarity in their rhythmic intention and demonstrate an understanding of the context of the triplet figuration that dominates the movement. Whilst the realisation indicates the music editor’s intention as to how the music should be approached the piano touch could be on the lighter side and there could be a little more “ebb and flow” tempo wise in the cadenza like sections (bars 22-23, bars 55-56 & bars 78-79) and at cadences. Although the music texturally isn’t complicated, the piece is quite demanding to play in that a consistency of touch and articulation is required. The instrument needs to be played with a lightness of touch with the player intent upon communicating the beauty of the music. Understandably there is no evidence of performance practice from C.P.E Bach’s own time and the music editor suggests that it is quite possibly that approaches to playing of music from this period have changed over time. A tempo of 120 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute is used in the realisation. The music copy has been prepared with the modern piano intended as the performance instrument. Limited use of the sustaining pedal can be considered and ornaments need to be
played with a similar rhythmic clarity and an understanding of context. Not many people play C.P.E.Bach’s music which is a shame because he composed works of quality and he has an important position in music history linking the Baroque with the Classical era. Both Haydn and Beethoven were influenced by his compositional approach. The music editor also suggests listening to the available recordings of the work played on a variety of different keyboard instruments. Interestingly there are many different approaches to playing this piece particularly with respect to tempo and rhythmic interpretation. Some performers approach the piece as if it is a piece of classical music even suggesting tempos and a playing approach in the style and manner of playing a Beethoven piano sonata. Recordings also have different acoustic properties although many in the music editor’s opinion are much too reverberant and consequently “rather cloudy”. The challenge is to play the piece with the intention of revealing its beauty, its texture, it’s rhythmic intention and the composer’s individual style whilst acknowledging its historical context. Whilst the music, texturally, belongs to the baroque both thematically and rhythmically the musical content looks forward and anticipates much of the keyboard music style of Haydn and Beethoven. This is an ideal challenge for some test piece at a competition or music festival because it invites so many different approaches.
There is a commentary on how to play the ornaments in the score. Close

Described as an Intermezzo this is a piece of music intended to change the mood usually having a context in a larger scale work. Dating from the early years of the 20th century this is a skillfully composed piece of music and whilst presented in this context as a serious piece it could quite easily be presented as a humorous item with exaggerated tempo changes and more contrasting dynamics. The realization plays at a tempo of 96 quartet note beats to the minute although there are recorded versions that exist with much faster tempos. Tempo changes are only indicated in the closing section and not at the end of phrases and sections. The step downs in tempo at bar 121 and bar 129 need to be quite obvious. The formal model is clearly that of the American march and it can be best described as an example of early “light music.” As a piece intended to break the mood it is ideally placed as part of the repertoire in the PlentyMusic Café although it has to be confirmed whether a humorous approach to this piece is a possibility. Victor Herbert was born in Ireland, and after subsequently training and working in Germany he moved to the United States to become a very successful composer of Broadway operettas in the period between 1890 and the start of World War I in 1914. This is music that invites exaggeration in performance and the more competent the risk taker the more likely they are to succeed providing they have both the communication and technical skills to ensure success. Piano accompaniments are available playing at 84, 88, 92, 96 and 100 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute. Close

A very exciting and dramatic piece of music for audience and performers alike. Technically proficient players play the faster sections more quickly and the slower sections more slowly than in the realisation often with great rhythmic expression. Vittorio Monti was a musician and composer from Naples although this piece is often described as having its origins as Hungarian folk music. The piece has a sectional structure and repetition is a strong element although the repeats are not played in the realisation. Tempo considerations are quite important and the Allegro vivace sections initially played at 120 quarter notes to the minute. A piacere means at “one’s pleasure, at one’s will,” whilst stentato is a musical expression meaning “laboured, heavy in a dragging manner” which is appropriate near the end of a section and stringendo means progressively quickening in tempo. Rallentandos shouldn’t begin too soon at the ends of phrases. The realisation is rather tame compared to many of the performances available but it is clearly a piece where players can learn much about performing music to an audience and Czardas often features as an encore piece in concerts. The small ornamental notes are probably best omitted in the early stages of learning the piece. The music editor has indicated all tempo text in bold above the staves.There is actually no definitive arrangement of this piece and often the sections between bar 70 to 85 are omitted in performance. Performers may wish to also omit the rallentando indicated in the score at bar 98. Some music performances also have the music starting slowly at bar 86 to soon quicken to an Allegro vivace tempo. The simple advice is to make your performance your own! The dynamic range in the realisation is not expressed quite as well as was intended.

There is actually no definitive arrangement of this piece and often the section between bar 70 to 85 are omitted in performance. Performers may wish to also omit the rallentando indicated in the score at bar 98. Some music performances also have the music starting slowly at bar 86 to soon quicken to an Allegro vivace tempo. The simple advice is to make your performance your own! There are two acoustic guitar accompaniments available (1) with repeats and (2) without repeats. Close

A very exciting and dramatic piece of music for audience and performers alike. Technically proficient players play the faster sections more quickly and the slower sections more slowly than in the realisation often with great rhythmic expression. Vittorio Monti was a musician and composer from Naples although this piece is often described as having its origins as Hungarian folk music. The piece has a sectional structure and repetition is a strong element although the repeats are not played in the realisation. Tempo considerations are quite important and the Allegro vivace sections initially played at 120 quarter notes to the minute. A piacere means at “one’s pleasure, at one’s will,” whilst stentato is a musical expression meaning “laboured, heavy in a dragging manner” and stringendo means progressively quickening in tempo. Rallentandos shouldn’t begin too soon at the ends of phrases.

Composed in 1849, this movement could be described as a song without words having a restless haunting quality which needs to be communicated in a performance. The score is marked “Zart und mit Ausdruck” which translates as “Tender with expression.” What is challenging is that the piece can be satisfactorily performed at quite a number of different tempi from 80 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute to ones in excess 100+. Tempo matters however always need to be always under control - slight speeding ups and slowing downs (tempo rubato) are quite appropriate for the style of the movement but players need to prevent the music from running away with itself which can so easily happen encouraged particularly by the triplet figuration. In this realisation the tempo is 90 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute. It is an excellent ensemble piece and particular good one for a player to learn about how to perform music. There are many performances available to listen to in the media featuring a variety of different instruments. There is a considerable amount of score detail to absorb, including the triplet figuration and not all the piano pedal markings are indicated in the score. The accompanist should also avoid playing too loudly. Like many pieces from the romantic period in the music is in ABA (ternary) form and is quite chromatic. A tuba part is appended to the full score. Accompaniment 1 plays at 80 quarter note beats (crotchet) to the minute, Accompaniment 2 at 84 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute and Accompaniment 3 at 88 quarter note beats (crotchet) to the minute.

Composed in 1849, this movement could be described as a song without words having a restless haunting quality which needs to be communicated in a performance. The score is marked “Zart und mit Ausdruck” which translates as “Tender with expression.” What is challenging is that the piece can be satisfactorily performed at quite a number of different tempi from 80 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute to ones in excess 100+. Tempo matters however always need to be always under control - slight speeding ups and slowing downs (tempo rubato) are quite appropriate for the style of the movement but players need to prevent the music from running away with itself which can so easily happen encouraged particularly by the triplet figuration. In this realisation the tempo is 80 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute. It is an excellent ensemble piece and particular good one for a player to learn about how to perform music. There are many performances available to listen to in the media featuring a variety of different instruments. There is a considerable amount of score detail to absorb, including the triplet figuration and not all the piano pedal markings are indicated in the score.

Camille Saint-Saens (1835-1921) was a French composer and this beautiful movement is from The Carnival of the Animals of 1886. The melody needs to be delivered with a legato tone and because of this and the melodic range it is an excellent piece for developing the tonal aspects of playing a musical instrument. Whilst the movement is particularly associated with the cello it is suited to being played by a number of different instruments and instrument combinations. The time signature indicates that there are 6 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the bar and these should be played as two groups of three. The harmonic language is very French in character sharing a subtlety that is also found in the music of his friend and pupil, the French composer Fauré. Pedalling in the piano part has not been indicated in the scores but does need to be used and generally this is governed by the harmonic rhythm of the movement. Like many French composers Saint-Saens was a very fine organist and music commentators suggest that his music is deserving of more attention because of its quality and variety. A trumpet in Bb part appropriately transposed is appended to the full score. The music editor is interested in hearing from trumpet players as to other keys options for this piece because available recordings suggest that there is more than one option. This version sounds in the key of F. There are 4 accompaniments available playing at 75,72, 69 and 66 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute. Close

Described as an Intermezzo this is a piece of music intended to change the mood usually having a context in a larger scale work. Dating from the early years of the 20th century this is a skillfully composed piece of music and whilst presented in this context as a serious piece it could quite easily be presented as a humorous item with exaggerated tempo changes and more contrasting dynamics. The realization plays at a tempo of 96 quartet note beats to the minute although there are recorded versions that exist with much faster tempos. Tempo changes are only indicated in the closing section and not at the end of phrases and sections. The step downs in tempo at bar 121 and bar 129 need to be quite obvious. The formal model is clearly that of the American march and it can be best described as an example of early “light music.” As a piece intended to change the mood it is ideally placed as part of the repertoire in the PlentyMusic Café. The bassoon and guitar part share a score and the guitarist may want to simply some of the chord voicing particularly if the piece is being played at a fast tempo. Victor Herbert was born in Ireland, and after subsequently training and working in Germany he moved to the United States to become a very successful composer of Broadway operettas in the period between 1890 and the start of World War I in 1914. This is music that invites exaggeration in performance and the more competent the risk taker the more likely they are to succeed providing they have both the communication and technical skills to ensure success.

A sicilienne is a slow tempo movement usually in a minor key with lilting rhythmic patterns and dotted notes enabling it to be described as a slow jig. This movement dates from 1893 and exists in several different arrangements. Fauré’s music possesses subtlety and as a composer he has a great awareness of instrument colour. Careful attention needs to be paid to the reading of accidentals as frequently different voices are sounding in what seem to be conflicting versions of a note. This is attributable to the modal element that it is a strong component of Fauré’s music. Apart from this, attention needs to be made to the reading of the notes and the score detail particularly in respect to knowing which notes are tied. In preparing scores the most appropriate range of the solo instrument is explored and consequently different arrangements explore different octave ranges. The sustaining pedal is required when playing the accompaniment and has been indicated generally only at the beginning of scores. The accompanist has the choice of whether or not to spread the chords in bar 42 and 43. The realisation plays at a tempo of 50 dotted quarter notes to the minute. A tuba is appended to the full score.Quite a challenge to determine an appropriate tempo in what is music generally played with fluidity and rubato although Fauré himself was regarded as something of a metronome when accompanying singers! The music editor has the view that the movement is often played too quickly. Accompaniments are available at (1) 58, (2) 54 and (3) 50 dotted quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute. There is a four bar count in to assist the soloist. For any player requiring a bespoke accompaniment please mark a music score with all the detail that you require regarding tempo and dynamics and forward to the PlentyMusic team. We will endeavour to provide a solution. Just drop your edited music score as an image or pdf to the PlentyMusic office. Close

The realisation plays at a tempo of 50 dotted quarter notes to the minute – the music editor’s view is that many performances of the work are played too quickly. A solo instrumental part notated in the treble and bass clef is appended to the full score. In this arrangement A minor is the chosen key although G minor is the natural and most appropriate key for the work. G minor is however a challenging key for the double bass player whilst the work is definitely playable in A minor. The music editor would appreciate receiving an informed opinion about key options for this work. Piano accompaniments are available at 50 and 48 dotted quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute.

This is a very appealing ensemble piece, challenging to play both from the pitch range the solo player has to manage and the opportunities it offers to explore tonal range of an instrument. Triplets are shown in the solo instrument part but only in the first two bars of the guitar accompaniment. This arrangement is intended to be performance piece and although there has been some re-scoring of the solo part to make it just a little more playable. Not all the intended ornaments are included in the score to enable the focus to be on playing the melody. The original Paganini version as one would expect has some very challenging moments but is well worth listening to particularly in its original form played on the violin. The limitations of the staff notation system are challenged particularly in the closing cadenza section at bar 45 which needs to be played with a clear sense of pulse being communicated. Paganini is a unique and quite captivating figure in the history of music who was a major influence on many romantic composers influencing both performance practice and also composition. He was the outstanding violinist of his age and in addition was an excellent guitarist although his performances on this instrument were shared with friends rather than the public. Individual parts are appended to the full score. Close

A charming and quite beautiful piece which has been arranged for many different instrument combinations although its origins are as a piano duet. A berceuse is a lullaby or cradle song so a gentle lilting approach is a required with nothing happening abruptly. The realisation plays at 66 quarter note beats to the minute. When performing this music there is an opportunity to slow down at the ends of phrases and then return to tempo at the start of the next phrase. Markings to indicate this are not included in the score. Pedalling has been indicated in the score. The sustaining pedal is put down as the first sound at the beginning of the bar is being played and lifted on the second beat of the bar. Additional pedalling can be added even though it might not be indicated on the score but it should never muddy the texture and lines of the music. The modal element that features in much of Faure's music is also evident. The solo cello part is marked con sordino although this doesn't feature as the sound in the realisation - the solo part is also appended to the full score. Piano accompaniments are also available.

This is a pianistic and surprisingly technically quite straight forward to play. The main challenge is playing at a consistent tempo in the loud sections. The realisation is plays at 132 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute although it can be played faster!
A very light pianistic touch is required particularly at the tempo that this piece requires. Staccatissimo markings (a very short staccato and an identifiable keyboard touch imitating a plucking action on the keys) have been used in the score together with staccato markings indicating that a short note is to be played.
Some use of the sustaining pedal is suggested particularly when arpeggiated chords are played although this has not been indicated on the score.
The closing section should be played at a steady two beats in the bar feel and needs to be understood as being a link to the second slow movement of the sonata.
This piece is also excellent for developing rotation skills in the wrist and forearm. C.P.E.Bach's favourite keyboard instrument was the clavichord which is a very quiet sounding instrument and it is evident from his considerable output of music that he was a very hard working musician and composer.
The ornaments, apart from the crushed notes or acciaccaturas have been written out in full to add clarity to the score whilst the repeats are not played in the realisation.
The music editor suggests listening to performances of this movement played on different types of keyboard instruments. Close

Johann Christian Bach (1735-1782) is often referred to as the "London Bach" and important because he influenced Mozart's concerto style and is identified with the musical style known as "style galant." His keyboard music was generally performed on the fortepiano and there are recordings available of this sonata played on the harpsichord, clavichord, fortepiano and modern piano. The music copy is prepared the sonata to be played on a modern piano although the music editor does suggest listening to recordings of performances on other keyboard instruments. of the sustaining pedal can be considered particularly in the chordal sections although this has not been indicated in the score.
This is one of a number of excellent and appealing pieces for the intermediate level pianist/keyboard player ensuring that a basic skill set is in place for the developing player. A tempo from 100 to 110 quarter note beats to the minute is suggested and 110 quarter note beats to the minute has been used in the realisation with the repeats not being played.
Ornaments need to be played rhythmically and consistently although the music editor suggests leaving them out in the early stages of learning the piece. Trills do vary in length according to their context. The right and left hand parts are not always rhythmically independent - in passages where there are triplets the trills need to be adjusted so that there is a some sharing of the overall dominating rhythmic pattern. The score detail in respect to this is clearly indicated. Close

Borodin was clearly quite an exceptional person known as a doctor and chemist as well as being a member of the Russian group of composers known and popularized as the “Mighty Handful.” His interest in music was essentially as a hobby but he was very well connected in Russian musical circles and his “Serenade” from the “Petite Suite” was published in 1896. The ostinato pattern that features in the work is an excellent unifying element in the composition and the strong melodic element in this miniature explores quite a melodic range. A tempo of 60 dotted quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute is used in the realization. The music editor suggests use of the piano sustaining pedal although this has not been marked in the score. Pianists and keyboard players will need to spend time analysing the musical texture to understand which notes belong to which musical line of which there are three - melody, harmony and an ostinato accompaniment. This is the original version of the work in the original key of B flat minor. Close

This is the original piano version of the “Easy Winners” and the tempo in the realisation is 76 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute whilst the repeats are not played. What is interesting about performing this piece is the impact of a change of tempo on the musical character and musical outcomes. A tempo of 70 quarter note beats to the minute sounds quite slow and yet 80 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute sounds fast. The view of the music editor is to play the piece at the slowest tempo musically possible whilst at the same time exploring the musical shapes which the realisation does rather inadequately. Generally, there is not a great amount of performance detail indicated in ragtime music although where opportunity arises during repeating sections performers need to explore dynamic range. The formal pattern of Joplin’s ragtime pieces generally have the structure of the typical American March which can be represented by letters as: I AA BB AA CC DD. Pianists also need to explore the ensemble options that exist with this piece that can be found on this website. Close

This arrangement for violoncello with piano accompaniment uses the first theme from the third movement of Borodin’s String Quartet No. 2 in D commonly referred to as “Notturno” meaning night piece. It is a very melodic movement and like much of Borodin’s music is very adaptable to being played by a number of different instrument combinations. Some octave transpositions have been applied to the parts. A tempo of 70 quarter note beats to the minute is used in the realisation. There are 4 sections in the arrangement – theme, repeat of the theme repeated with a varied and fuller accompaniment, the theme played in canon and a closing section which can best be be described as a coda. Wherever possible material from the original work, which dates from 1881, has been incorporated into the arrangement although the appoggiaturas that appear in the original string quartet version have been omitted. A violoncello part is appended to the full score. Close

The piece has its origins as a song composed in the key of the key of C minor published in 1878 and is one of the composers most beautiful and popular melodies. This is an excellent piece for developing tonal quality and the melody needs to be played with a singing expressive legato. A tempo of 56 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute has been used in the realisation and in this arrangement in the key of D minor the thematic material is explored an octave lower for the eight bar section beginning at bar 17. There is also an octave option towards the end of the movement which is given on an ossia staff. The accompanist will need to make use of the sustaining pedal although this is not indicated and the score does require careful study in respect to the reading of the chromatic harmony. Fauré as a pianist and accompanist was very much regarded as something of a metronome and not considered to be very sympathetic to singers of his songs particularly when they added subtlety and nuance at the end of phrases. It would be beneficial to spend time reading through the lyrics for the song in translation to have an understanding of the music’s context. A solo violin part is appended to the full score.Accompaniments are available and play at the following tempi (1) 60 (2) 58 (3) 56 quarter note beats to the minute. There is a great range in the tempo that musicians both sing and play this movement and if the accompaniments available do not meet your requirements simply provide us with an annotated pdf score with the tempi score detail that you require and PlentyMusic will provide a bespoke accompaniment.

The waltz was a popular musical form during the romantic period favoured particularly in the salon or drawing room context. The movement needs to move along with a clear one in a bar feel and I would suggest leaving out the small notes when learning the movement. The realisation tempo is at a (considered) 56 dotted quarter notes to the minute and I would suggest that it should be played at a faster tempo of at least 66 dotted quarter (crotchets) notes to the minute. Played at a faster tempo the players will need to possess very good performance techniques for their individual instruments. There are no repeats in the realisation.

Fernando Sor's Theme and Variations from L' Encouragement is possibly more classical in spirit certainly from the thematic point of view. The melodic material does need to be clearly articulated whilst harmonically it does follow the pattern of the cantabile movement in that there is a change to the tonic minor key. The tempo of each variation can in performance be considered as a separate movement and the tempo at which the music sections are played will be very much determined by the technical facility of the solo instrument player. One of the technical challenges is to articulate the triplet figurations with clarity. This Theme and Variations has an extended coda which can lead to a repeat of theme if it is being performed as a separate movement. As is often the case in variations the musical intensity increases as the movement progresses. The realisations in their very nature tend to lack the nuance of a performance and tend to be on the rushed side although they provide an excellent means for auditioning pieces. The repeats are not played in the realisation. It would be wise to spend time listening to guitar duet versions to appreciate the musical range that feature in this appealing work. Close

Fernando Sor's Theme and Variations from L' Encouragement is possibly more classical in spirit certainly from the thematic point of view. The melodic material does need to be clearly articulated whilst harmonically it does follow the pattern of the cantabile movement in that there is a change to the tonic minor key. The tempo of each variation can in performance be considered as a separate movement and the tempo at which the music sections are played will be very much determined by the technical facility of the solo instrument player. One of the technical challenges is to articulate the triplet figurations with clarity. This Theme and Variations has an extended coda which can lead to a repeat of theme if it is being performed as a separate movement. As is often the case in variations the musical intensity increases as the movement progresses. The realisations in their very nature tend to lack the nuance of a performance and tend to be on the rushed side although they provide an excellent means for auditioning pieces. The repeats are not played in the realisation and only one note in the melody has been transposed an octave upwards. It would be wise to spend time listening to guitar duet versions to appreciate the musical range that features in this appealing work. A flute part is appended to the full score. Close

Fernando Sor's L'Encouragement Opus 34, originally for guitar duet, comprises three movements was originally intended to be performed as a continuous movement although its three sections can easily be performed as separate movements and this is how they are presented on the www.plentymusic.co.uk website. The music dates from 1828 and consequently belongs to the romantic era and is a very good example of salon or drawing room music intended for small audiences at home rather than the concert hall. Fernando Sor, was a Spanish composer, born into a military family who has often been to as referred to as the Beethoven of the guitar. Whilst not considered to be a great composer he did nevertheless compose many attractive works that are suitable for performance in arrangements such as this. The piano essentially fulfils the role of the second guitar part with some additions to make the part more pianistic. Where appropriate barring and note values have been clarified as much for the eye than for musical reasons. Cantabile the first movement from L'Encouragement is in ABA (ternary) form although the repeat is a varied repeat. The realisation has a tempo of 54 dotted quarter note beats (crotchet beats ) to the minute and the musical content combines a pastoral feel with a quite stately tempo. The melody line needs to be delivered with a singing legato whilst the movement should be played communicating a sense of two beats to the bar. A cello part is appended to the full score. Close

A joyous and uplifting movement both for the player and the listener. A tempo of 84 quarter note beats (crotchet) to the minute is suggested and used in the realisation. Whilst a performance should not be rushed it also mustn't drag. Listen to performances of this work by different instrument combinations to form a musical picture of how the work should be performed. I would suggest that this an example of a piano piece that actually sounds much better played by a combination of instruments. Look for any repeating patterns in the music as an understanding of the formal patterns will assist players in their performances. Acciaccaturas and in the melody line are notated in the score but are nor realised in the playback scores. Pianists need to experiment with the sustaining pedal to obtain the sound that they want - the music editor's preference is to pedal on and off on each beat of the bar with some flexibility particularly at cadences.

This is an edited music score in that it has has some score detail to assist players in their performance and practice. A familiar AB binary movement described as a toccata which originally were touch pieces intended to be used to tune the instrument but in time they became formalised into movements aimed at developing keyboard technique. Each part of the AB form is further divided into contrasting sections which need to be exploited tonally in a performance. The realisation is played at a tempo of 88 dotted eighth notes (quaver) to the minute and the movement needs to be played with a sense of one to a bar. The sounds of the guitar are imitated in the rolling chords played by the left hand with intervals of the fourth (as a guitar is tuned) and the repeating notes (tremolo) played by the right hand. Whilst the repetitive element is strong the sonata is imbued with modal shifts and figurations imitating Spanish music. It is essential that the right hand fingers are close to the keys and that the left hand spread chords are played percussively. Some limited use of the sustaining pedal (quick quarter pedalling) to give the left hand chords some extra resonance is recommended although no sustaining pedalling has been added in the realisation. It would be wise to listen to different performances of the sonata to understand the different approaches made by players particularly in respect to the weight applied from the hands and the range of articulations used in expressing the musical content. There is some suggested fingering in the edited music score and the sonata first needs to be practiced at slow speeds to ensure accuracy. The ornamentation is straight forward as is usually the case in fast tempo works one although there are choices in respect to the playing of appoggiaturas at the end of sections. The realisation a little rushed at the end of phrases and sections. In the hands of a gifted musician and artist with exceptional technique this can be an exhilerating and quite mesmerising piece. A plain score is also appended to the edited music score. Close

This is an edited music score in that it has has some score detail to assist players in their performance and practice. A very pianistic keyboard sonata providing excellent opportunities for developing left hand over right hand playing technique. The work has a largely two part texture after short four part passages at the opening of the two sections. A tempo of 110 quarter note (crotchet beats) to the minutes is suggested - it is important that the chosen tempo enables the harmonic direction to be communicated. Fingers need to be kept close to the keys and little use of the sustaining pedal is advised whilst a legato playing approach is needed.

This performance score has score detail including dynamics, articulation markings and suggested right and left hand fingering. A tempo of 120 half note (minim beats) to the minute is recommended for playing this movement. Imitation is a strong feature and a lightness of touch is required in the playing approach dictated essentially by the fast tempo. The music lines are rhythmically quite intricate and there is an additional challenge in achieving a satisfactory dynamic balance between the two hands. Some use of the sustaining is suggested at bar 10 and additionally when there are long bass notes although no pedal markings are indicated in the score. The playing of a rit.(slowing down) at the end of the end of the two sections does not seem appropriate in a performance. The modal shifts that feature in the melody line and the rhythmic detail suggest references to the music of Spain.

A rondo is a piece with a recurring theme and is a form much used by Beethoven particularly as the last movement in a sonata. This is lovely pianistic movement and is from one of the composers most popular works (Sonata Pathetique) and the music editor suggests listening to a selection if the many available recordings. The tempo of the realisation is 96 half note (minim) beats to the minute. Trills beginning on the note and have been written out in the score copy. Beethoven in music history is a transition figure linking the classical era with the romantic. The dramatic quality of this music requires a competent and secure piano technique and players should make use of the sustaining pedal although it has not been marked in the score copy. On a modern piano the marking fp is possibly more suitable than sf and has been substituted when it has been considered to be more appropriate. Close

The Little Shepherd from Debussy's Children's Corner Suite is one of the composer's easier pieces although it does offer similar challenges to those encountered in his more complex works. His music whilst often sounding simple is always challenging from a performance point of view and there are many aspects of performance to consider when playing his music - namely attention to rhythmic detail, tempo, dynamic range, use of pedals, interpretation of ornaments, amongst others. This arrangement for violin with piano accompaniment is of the fifth movement of the piano suite published in 1908. The suite dedicated to the composer's daughter Chou-Chou has score detail in French and an English title which was possibly chosen to reflect that an English governess was employed to look after his child. The realisation which communicates the musical content satisfactorily does lack fluidity in repect to tempo.

The Little Shepherd from Debussy's Children's Corner Suite is one of the composer's easier pieces although it does offer similar challenges to those encountered in his more complex works. His music whilst often sounding simple is always challenging from a performance point of view and there are many aspects of performance to consider when playing his music - namely attention to rhythmic detail, tempo, dynamic range, use of pedals, interpretation of ornaments, amongst others. This arrangement for oboe with piano accompaniment is of the fifth movement of the piano suite published in 1908. The suite dedicated to the composer's daughter Chou-Chou has score detail in French and an English title which was possibly chosen to reflect that an English governess was employed to look after his child. The realisation which communicates the musical content satisfactorily does lack fluidity in repect to tempo.

This work dates from 1798 and is identified with Beethoven's so called early period and is the third movement of his Sonata No. 5 in C minor Opus 10 No.1. It is the most difficult work to be included in this area of study and has been chosen because it is an example of a sonata form work. It is, however, a very concise movement especially when compared to the sonata form movements of the composers so called middle and late periods. Nevertheless, it demonstrates the essential features of his compositional style and has many of the challenges that arise in performing his music from both technical and musical points of view. In contemporary music performance practice the first section expositions are generally not repeated and I would advise against too much use of the sustaining pedal. It is necessary to understand that exploring the principle of contrast was an essential feature of music composed in the classical era in terms of themes and keys very often in the context of a sonata form movement. The realisation does lack the flexibility and nuance associated with a true performance particularly at the ends of phrases and possibly more could be made of the pause marks. The score copy has recommended fingering. Close

This is the last movement of Haydn's Piano Sonata in D (Hob XVI:37). It is in rondo form (ABACA) with each section in binary form. The repeat signs in the sections bar 40 - 60 are optional. Ornaments have been written out in the score and are realised in the sound file and a tempo of at least 132 quarter note beats to the minute is recommended. Fingering is clearly specified and in the first instance I would suggest a consistent approach to playing the ornaments. A fairly dry acoustic is required and I would advise against too much use of the sustaining pedal. A convincing performance requires a light pianistic touch with the fingers kept really close to the piano keys. There is a a decrescendo at bar 90 but no rit. or slowing down. Sometimes the numbering of Haydn's keyboard sonatas appears confused but always refer to the Hoboken catalogue number for clarity. I would suggest listening to performances of this movement by some of the many excellent pianist that have made recordings. Close

The rhythmic template used in this movement is based on a familiar and popular dance rhythm of Debussy's time. Musical ideas need to be clearly articulated and I would suggest little use of the sustaining pedal. Pianists should listen to a several versions of the piece to understand the interpretive possibilities and options that can be considered. The realisation is a little hurried and lacks a little of the give and take needed in a performance. There are also one or inconsistencies in respect to the interpretation of the dynamics. In Debussy's scores, there is always a great amount of score detail. Taken from his Children's Corner Suite all the movements are worth while exploring. Close

This version has a piano accompaniment derived from the original piano work by Nazareth (1863 -1934) and is more difficult to play than the arranged version that feature in the solo instrument with piano accompaniment scores. Nazareth was a Brazilian composer and pianist whose music transcribes very well from the piano to popular contemporary instruments. His compositional style absorbs many different influences Brazilian, European, African and ragtime. He composed tangos, waltzes, polkas, sambas, galops, Scottisches and fox-trots and although classically trained was very familiar with the popular musical idioms of his day both at home and abroad. Brejeiro is described as a tango and the English translation of the Portugese word Brejeiro is impish meaning fun or mischevous. A tempo of 96 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute is suggested and a solo flute part is appended to the full score. Close

It is quite probable that if you listen to this piece played by Brazilian musicians that the bandolim and cavaquinho will feature. The bandolim is the name for the mandolin in Brazil - the instrument arrived in Brazil from Portugal. The cavaquinho is a small string instrument of the European guitar family with four wire or gut strings similar to the ukulele although tuned differently.

Nazareth (1863 -1934) was a Brazilian composer and pianist whose music transcribes very well from the piano to popular contemporary instruments and in the context of this piece particular ones with plucked strings in an ensemble. His compositional style absorbs many different influences Brazilian, European, African and ragtime. He composed tangos, waltzes, polkas, sambas, galops, Scottisches and fox-trots and although classically trained was very familiar with the popular musical idioms of his day both at home and abroad. Brejeiro is described as a tango and the English translation of the Portugese word Brejeiro is impish meaning fun or mischievous. A tempo of 96 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute is suggested. Some of the chord voicings in the guitar parts have been changed and there are some octave transpositions in the melody where the range of the solo instrument proves limiting. On the second beat of Bar 52 mandolin players may choose to play the second E an octave lower on the open string. It is quite probable that if you listen to this piece played by Brazilian musicians that the bandolim and cavaquinho will feature. The bandolim is the name for the mandolin in Brazil - the instrument arrived in Brazil from Portugal. The cavaquinho is a small string instrument of the European guitar family with four wire or gut strings similar to the ukulele although tuned differently. Close

In this arrangement of Tico-Tico for soprano saxophone with piano accompaniment the sounding key is C minor/major and a tempo of 84 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute is used in the realization in which the repeats are played. The soprano saxophone part appropriately transposed is also appended to the full score. The piece is structured into three sections and the formal pattern can be represented as AABBAACCA. Dating from 1917 this Brazilian choro (lament) was composed by Abreu and whilst there is no definitive notated version it is a piece that has travelled widely in various different formats. It is an excellent ensemble piece and there are many arrangement possibilities suited to both formal or more informal music making activities. There is understandably in this Brazilian piece a strong syncopated element. Piano accompaniments are available as mp3 downloads playing at (1) 88 (2) 84 (3) 80 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute enabling players to enjoy and participate in an ensemble music activity as part of their practice routine.

This is the full version of Mozart's Rondo Alla turka. One of the the most immediately recognisable and popular pieces of music in the repetoire whether played on the piano or by other instruments. It is a very adaptable piece stylistically and in the repetoire of classical musicians, folk bands, jazz groups and café style ensembles. A piece with many repeating sections making it from a concentration point of view quite difficult to perform. It was Mozart himself who titled the piece Alla turca (Turkish March) as the music was intended to imitate the sounds of the instruments in the then familiar Turkish military bands. Understood to have been composed in 1783, a tempo in the range 110-120 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute is suggested and little use of sustaining pedal is advised although it can be used more readily in the coda or closing section.

An arrangement for soprano saxophone and piano of this beautiful impressionist piece which dates from 1910 sounding in the key of F. The score for the soprano saxophone part is appended to the full score and where the high range of the instrument is to be used an alternative ending is given notated in the ossia staff. The realisation lacks a little subtlety in terms of ebb and flow as far as the tempo is concerned. The best advice is that a performance should not be rushed. Debussy scores contain much score detail and the original French language has been retained in this aspect of the notation. Performers will need to read the music carefully as there are many accidentals in the score attributable to the modal shifts in the writing. Debussy was something of a rule breaker in his approach to composition concerned more with sound rather than process. I would suggest listening to several performances of the piece with different instrument combinations to understand the interpretative options that are possible. Interestingly in his scores, Debussy always put his titles at the end of his scores in his prelude collections. Close

This is Joplin's piano original of The Entertainer which he described as A Rag Time Two Step. Composed in 1902, this music is instantly recognisable, which is a disadvantage to any instrumentalist because as a consequence it needs to played both accurately and musically. Ragtime is the first readily identifiable modern popular music in that it has elements and links with popular music that succeeded it. Unfortunately, much ragtime music is played very badly and frequently at too fast a tempo so the music editor suggests listening to Scott Joplin's own remastered piano rolls to obtain an understanding of the performance style. A tempo of around 72 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute is recommended. Ragtime music is deceptive in that it sounds easy on the ear but is actually quite a challenge for the fingers to play. Close
