Score and Parts-This is one of the most dramatic of chamber pieces. Its opening movement is propulsive its questing first subject beginning with declamatory five-note motive which rises and falls spikily then repeating a rhythmic tag. Itcontrasts with an incantatory second subject which carries with it a chirping bird-like figure. The second movement is a lyrical transformation of the same ideas with a faster central section while the finale is an even moredriven version of the first movement's materials. The only real relaxation and calm in the music is the remarkable coda which brings the entire work to an unexpectedly peaceful conclusion. Even more remarkable is thevocabulary - Bloch liberally uses quarter-tone intervals mainly for colour rather than as part of any harmonic system but they do add an eerie quality to many sections of the score. This is one of the exceptional masterpiecesof the Piano Quintet literature. This set contains all the parts - the piano score also contains all the string parts for rehearsal purposes.

A collection of prose poems by the French Romantic Aloysius Bertrand inspired Ravel to write his piano cycle “Gaspard de la nuit”. Unlike earlier works he does not merely create an atmospheric depiction of the literary model – in a fascinating manner he recounts the eerie-grotesque scenes using musical means. His “three romantic poems of transcendental virtuosity” were supposed to surpass the technical refinement of Balakirev’s “Islamey” (HN 793) which was considered unplayable at the time. Our edition not only offers impeccable Urtext in a clear larger format: the corresponding poem by Bertrand prefaces each part in three languages.?A collection of prose poems by the French Romantic Aloysius Bertrand inspired Ravel to write his piano cycle 'Gaspard de la nuit'.

12 well-known original pieces in progressive order of difficulty with practical comments-Of the twelve composers in our series “At the piano” Franz Schubert was undoubtedly the least at home at the piano – but nevertheless what masterpieces he left us for this instrument! There is hardly any pianist who is not immediately captivated by the cheerful yet melancholy atmosphere of Schubert’s impromptus and Moments musicaux. Even the simple pieces by Schubert at the beginning of this volume have surprising twists in store that afford them a profundity of their own. Nor are his dances mere “entertainment”. No matter how charming they may seem on the surface there is always a wistful tone in his waltzes and ländler. This seems to reflect the gravely ill composer’spresentiment of his own death.
