La comprensione dell'incredibile varietà di forme espressive e del carattere dei lieder di Franz Schubert dipende in gran parte anche dalla conoscenza dei testi. Perciò sono molto lieto che con l'apparizione di questo libro ora l'accesso all'universo dei lieder di Schubert sia sostanzialmente facilitato a molti amici della musica.' Questa infatti è la prima traduzione italiana completa delle composizioni vocali di Schubert: la necessità di un'opera come questa nasce in primo luogo dall'amore per i lieder. Questa passione ha prodotto un forte desiderio di comprendere a fondo il contenuto dei testi, vere e proprie composizioni poetiche dovute alla penna di autori, tra gli altri, del calibro di Wolfgang von Goethe e Friedrich von Schiller. Delle poesie di questi due autori è possibile reperire traduzioni in italiano, ma che dire delle liriche prodotte dai numerosissimi altri poeti sconosciuti ai più? Ritengo che la cosa possa essere di interesse anche per gli altri appassionati e in generale per tutti coloro che, pur apprezzando la musica, non hanno mai osato avvicinarsi al genere.

Ave Maria di Franz Schubert

Momento musicale op.94 n.3. Ediz. per la scuola

(Piano Solo Songbook). Selected masterpieces composed for or arranged for solo piano. Intermediate to Advanced Level.

Franz Schubert was one of the most prolific composers of ensemble piano music, and the Allegro in A Minor, Op. 144, demonstrates his mastery at writing for one piano, four hands. This large and passionate work was composed in 1828, the year of Schubert's death. It is written in sonata-allegro form and may have been intended as the first movement of a sonata. It was first published by Anton Diabelli in 1840 with the title Lebensst?rme: Characterischeres Allegro (Life's Storms: Characteristic Allegro). The Allegro makes extensive use of chromaticism, Neapolitan sixth chords, and contrasts of moods. Also included is an outstanding CD recording from the Naxos label.

The Fantasie in F minor, Op. 103, is Franz Schubert's most-often performed piano duet and is considered one of the great masterpieces of ensemble piano repertoire. Schubert completed the Fantasie in 1828, just a short time before his death later that year. The work demonstrates his mature style and is filled with some of his best writing. Its four connected movements contain lovely and enticing melodies, dramatic gestures in French overture style, a brilliant scherzo and trio, and a virtuosic fugue. Also included is an outstanding CD recording from the Naxos label.

A popular Mass for brass! Ken Bray's magnificent arranging skills are once again apparent with this work. The key has been altered to be more idiomatic for the brass choir and some of the development material has been shortened. Scored for an ensemble of 4 trumpets (1 piccolo), 4 horns, 3 trombones, euphonium, tuba and percussionist, this versatile group performs this large scale work with all the grandeur that the composer intended.

Franz Schubert was one of the most prolific composers of ensemble piano music, and the Rondo in A Major, Op. 107, demonstrates his mastery at writing for one piano, four hands. The Rondo was composed in 1828 for the famous Viennese company Artaria. The work is warm and lyrical in contrast to many of Schubert's other compositions for four hands. Its themes are highly decorative, treated freely, and full of exciting rhythms.

Per Franz Schubert, il compositore viennese spentosi nel 1828 a 31 anni, che ha riunito in sé le caratteristiche migliori del classicismo e del romanticismo, creando una musica ad un tempo formale e fantastica, popolare e aristocratica, ingenua e visionaria, ponte ideale fra la vita e la morte, gli scritti acquistano doppia importanza. Anzitutto perché le sessantasette lettere superstiti (di un epistolario originario non molto più folto) si distribuiscono lungo tutta la breve carriera artistica, quasi anno per anno, illuminando spesso le motivazioni interiori delle opere. Inoltre, perché in Schubert il rapporto musica-parola è molto più stretto rispetto a qualsiasi altro compositore: basti pensare che delle circa mille opere, elencate nel catalogo Deutsch, tre quarti sono vocali, si appoggiano quindi su testi scritti. In particolare Schubert ha lasciato qualcosa come seicento lieder, mettendo in musica i versi di un centinaio di poeti e fra questi tutti i grandi del suo tempo come Klopstock, Goethe, Schiller; Grillparzer e Heine.

To capture the full, rich orchestral sound of this famous march, two intermediate level pianists will play at one keyboard, each supplying melodic material, textures and drama to the performance. Historical and performance notes are included.
