Highlighted: Corridoors by Tibor Csuhaj-Barna

The composer was inspired to write these pieces by the Corridor Quartet (György Lakatos, Mihály Duffek, Zsófia Stefán, and Sára Rebeka Tóth), with their open attitude to music and their enchanting sound world.

The timbres of the bassoon harmony are emphasised still more by being joined by the double bass, and by a voice or flute soaring above them. One reviewer writes of the CD Corridoors:

'Easy to listen to, but modern: modern, and yet easy to listen to. And because of the sound of the bassoons, it's spiced with a kind of fantasy mood, a kind of ''Lord of the Rings'' feel.' (jazzma.hu, Károly Gáspár)

New Urtext edition of Bartók’s complete choral works

A new Urtext edition of Béla Bartók’s complete choral works was launched in March 2021.

The three-volume edition is based on volume 9 of the Béla Bartók Complete Critical Edition (Z. 15009), a joint publication of G. Henle Verlag, Munich, and Editio Musica Budapest Zeneműkiadó. The lyrics in this edition are in the original languages and in the translations authorized by the composer. Literal English translations are provided in the appendix, which also includes early and alternative versions of the works.

Our edition is distinguished by absolute authenticity regarding both the musical text and the style of notation, as well as superior engraving and print quality. The edition is complete with informative prefaces (in Hungarian, English, and German) and detailed Editorial Comments (in Hungarian and English). The Comments give an overview of the textual, folk-music, and compositional sources, and provide detailed information on the performance practice of Bartók’s choral works.

The volumes have been printed on high-quality and environmentally-friendly paper.

The three volumes are available in two formats: paperback and clothbound. The paperback editions can be bought separately, while the clothbound volumes are available only together in a slipcase.

Each work included in these volumes will also be published separately during the following months.

New orchestra material of Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra released

A new orchestra material of Béla Bartók’s orchestral highlight, Concerto for Orchestra, composed in 1943 in the United States, is now available on hire. Concerto for Orchestra is the first orchestra material produced from the Béla Bartók Complete Critical Edition (BBCCE), a joint publication of G. Henle Verlag, Munich, and Editio Musica Budapest Zeneműkiadó. (The full score in the BBCCE and Henle’s study score are also available on sale.)

In preparing this edition, the first edition, all compositional sources as well as the sound recordings made in Bartók’s lifetime have been critically evaluated. The orchestra parts were carefully prepared in terms of accuracy, easy legibility, as well as sensible cues and page turns. The parts have been tested by the Hungarian National Philharmonic, a leading orchestra with a unique experience in playing Bartók. The conductor’s score and the parts share the same big format (25×32.5 cm), and are printed on superior-quality paper.

One set includes two conductor’s scores, 9-8-7-6-5 strings, 4 copies of percussion, and one copy of each of the remaining parts. The material is available on hire at Universal Music Publishing Editio Musica Budapest Ltd.

Veselá klavírna škola Ágnes Lakos už v predaji

Predstavujeme Vám dvojjazyčnú slovensko-maďarskú Veselú  klavírnu školu renomovanej pedagogičky Ágnes Lakos obsahujúcu podrobnú metodiku výučby klavírnej hry!

V štyroch dieloch školy nájdete návod na zvládnutie klavírnej hry od základov (I. -čítanie nôt, legato, staccato, dvojručná hra, dvojhmaty, bodkovaný rytmus, ligatúra) cez mierne pokročilé pokračovanie (II.- podkladanie, nadkladanie, synkopa, triola, kvintola, sextola, hra akordov, stupnice, rozložené akordy), prvky pokročilejšej hry (III.- melódia so sprievodom,  polyfonická hra, dva hlasy v jednej ruke, chromatika, používanie pedálu, oktávy a sexty) až po vyspelejšiu techniku (IV.- ozdoby, striedavé tempo, striedavé metrum, variácie, sonatíny).

Akcent je kladený na rozvoj zručností prostredníctvom malých majstrovských diel popredných skladateľov pre tento nástroj – Bachom počnúc a skladateľmi 20. Storočia – Sibéliom, Bartókom a Lutoslawskim končiac. Škola nezabúda ani na ľudovú hudbu a populárne žánre – evergreeny, jazzové skladbičky, úpravy v štýle Beatles a pod.

Škola si uvedomuje dôležitosť opakovania, komornej súhry a ovládania rozličných štýlov.  Preto si dáva záležať na upevňovaní získaných zručností, zaradení troj- a štvorručných skladieb a pestrosti repertoáru. Ďalšou charakteristikou je výtvarná a grafická pestrosť. Bonusom ku klasickej klavírnej výučbe je slovník hudobných termínov a skladateľov, skladby ktorých sa nachádzajú v klavírnej škole. Poskytuje základné informácie a motivuje k ďalšiemu – hlbšiemu teoretickému a hudobno-historickému štúdiu.

Objednajte si on-line, emailom, alebo telefonicky prvý a druhý diel Veselej klavírnej školy v cene EUR 15,40 prvý diel/s CD a EUR 13,20 druhý diel. Tretí a štvrtý diel bude k dispozícii do konca roka 2011.
