Chopin's E minor and F minor Piano Concertos played a vital role in his career as a composer-pianist. Praised for their originality and genius when he performed them, the concertos later attracted censure for ostensible weaknesses in form, development and orchestration. They also suffered at the hands of editors and performers, all the while remaining enormously popular. This handbook re-evaluates the concertos against the traditions that shaped them so that their many outstanding qualities can be fully appreciated. It describes their genesis, Chopin's own performances and his use of them as a teacher. A survey of their critical, editorial and performance histories follows, in preparation for an analytical 're-enactment' of the music - that is, a narrative account of the concertos as embodied in sound, rather than in the score. The final chapter investigates Chopin's enigmatic 'third concerto', the Allegro de concert. Chopin: The Piano Concertos has won the Wilk Book Prize for Research in Polish Music.

This book is about three sets of etudes by Liszt: the Etude en douze exercices (1826), its reworking as Douzes grandes études (1837), and their reworking as Douzes études d'exécution transcendante (1851). At the same time it is a book about nineteenth-century instrumental music in general, in that the three works invite the exploration of features characteristic of the early Romantic era in music. These include: a composer-performer culture, the concept of virtuosity, the significance of recomposition, music and the poetic, and the consolidation of a musical work-concept. A central concern is to illuminate the relationship between the work-concept and a performance- and genre-orientated musical culture. At the same time the book reflects on how we might make judgements of the 'Transcendentals', of the Symphonic Poem Mazeppa (based on the fourth etude), and of Liszt's music in general.

Journey of a Thousand Miles tells the remarkable story of a boy who sacrificed almost everything – family, financial security, childhood and his reputation in China’s insular classical music world – to fulfil his promise as a classical pianist. Lang Lang was born in Shenyang in north-eastern China just after the end of the Cultural Revolution. He began piano lessons at three years old and by age ten had been awarded a place at the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing. In order to continue his studies he moved thousands of miles from home, living with his exacting father in a cramped, shared apartment, while his mother stayed at home to earn the money to pay his fees. At fifteen he moved to the United States to take up a scholarship at the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia; by nineteen he was selling out Carnegie Hall. His tutor and mentor Daniel Barenboim was perhaps the first to describe him as ‘extraordinarily talented’; today his assessment is shared by millions. Now in adulthood, Lang Lang tours relentlessly, delighting sell-out audiences with his trademark flamboyance and showmanship. Journey of a Thousand Miles is a tale of heartbreak, drama and ultimately triumph. His inspiring story demonstrates the courage and self-sacrifice required to achieve artistic greatness.

This book contains 42 works of the great Polish composer Frederic Chopin. It is the third of 3 volumes of the complete works of his and is comprised mainly of scans of pre 1923 sheet music by various music publishers containing original copyright references. Overall it's a warts and all (although we have cleaned up and digitally enhanced as much as possible) reproduction of some very old manuscripts so there are some minor printing imperfections owing to the age and quality of these original manuscripts. There are also some recent 2018 editions type-set and copyright by Ironpower Publishing. We have endeavored to put together in three volumes the most complete collection of Chopin's sheet music available. Contained within this third volume are six Concertos, three Rondos, and 33 various compositions which highlight the brilliance of Chopin. The book is then divided into 3 sections each containing a specific category of Chopin's catalogue of music: - - Concertos &nbs- Rondos - Various Compositions A table of contents at the start allows pianists to find specific compositions easily. Here's a complete list of the compositions: - Concertos Concert No. 1, Variations on Là ci darem la mano, Op. 2 Concert No. 2, Grande fantaisie sur des airs polonais, Op. 13 Concert No. 3, Krakowiak, Op. 14 Concert No. 4, Andante spianato et Grande polonaise brillante, Op. 22 Piano Concerto No. 1 in E Minor, Op. 11 Piano Concerto No. 2 in F Minor, Op. 21 Rondos Rondo à la mazur, Op. 5 Rondo in C Minor, Op. 1 Rondo in E-flat Major, Op. 16 Various Compositions Allegretto Allegretto in F-sharp Major Allegretto de Concert, Op. 46 Andantino, B. 117 Barcarolle F-sharp Major Op. 60 Berceuse in D-flat Major, Op. 57 Bolero, Op. 19 Bourrée Op.
