Commissioned by China National Centre for The Performing Arts, San Francisco Symphony, Toronto Symphony Orchestra, Philharmonie de Paris – Orchestre de Paris, NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester, and the New York Philharmonic, this work was composed in 2022 and first performed that year at Davies Symphony Hall, San Francisco, CA, by Yuja Wang (piano) and the San Francisco Symphony, conducted by Esa-Pekka Salonen. The Wall Street Journal commented, “Mr Lindberg's work, in three distinct movements, teases music lovers with homages to Ravel and Debussy, Prokofiev and Rachmaninoff, Liszt and, in the finale, Gershwin. But in doing so, the composer achievesthat rarest of admixtures, a work that recalls the greatness of others while creating a sound world entirely his own.”

These short eight-bar exercises are generally regarded as some of the best, most versatile and comprehensive of Czerny's studies. Apart from helping to achieve speed, suppleness and versatility of tone and touch, these exercises concentrate on many essential aspects of piano technique: diatonic and chromatic scales, tone repetition, chords progressions and arpeggios, thirds and octaves, two-part playing in one hand, polyphony, alternating hands, trills and other ornamentation, etc.
This new edition is based on the first edition of 1853 and contains Czerny's original fingering. Scott Piano Classics Series

Glenn Gould's transcriptions of the Siegfried-Idyll, Morning Mist and Siegfried's Journey along the Rhine from Richard Wagner's Ring of the Nibelungenare are already legendary as recordings. The Siegfried-Idyll is here published for the first time as a musical score. The rich ornamentation, developed from a short triplet motif, and the sometimes contrapuntal waves of increasing intensity, inspired Gould (the Bach-lover) to produce a piano version of great clarity and full of atmosphere.

40 fast and wild pieces from the Baroque to modern era. Music by Bach, Burgmüller, Clementi, Czerny, Grieg, Handel, Schumann, Tchaikovsky, and others. Challenging the tempo-loving pianist, this large collection of etudes, scherzos, variations and very lively character pieces are a treasure trove for piano lessons.
“Twelsiek (editor of this Schott Piano Classic Edition) selected these pieces because of their fast tempos, but she considered pieces that would provide a musical array that will stimulate a student's technical development and execution and sense of imagery. The repertoire includes composers from the baroque to the modern eras...I look forward to helping my students consider how 'Allegro' and 'Presto' can conjure many more ideas than 'fast!'”--American Music Teacher

After Johann Sebastian Bach, Martin Stadtfeld now devotes himself to George Frideric Handel: For Händel Variations he arranged famous compositions from different creative phases of the baroque master for piano. The pieces sometimes appear intimate and puristic, as in Laschia ch'io pianga, sometimes energetic, as in the Sarabande Variations. The album is suitable for everyone looking for demanding virtuoso pieces for concert performances, yet can also be used in advanced piano lessons. It conveys a highly individual view of Handel's music by pianist Martin Stadtfeld. Martin Stadtfeld's recording of Händel Variations was released by Sony Classical in 2019.

SEVEN DAYS is a cycle for solo piano in 21 movements, most lasting between three and seven minutes, distributed in the form of a custom app produced by the 92Y and released during their Fall 2021 season. Using the app on their phones, listeners are asked to listen to three movements a day according to an approximate schedule - one movement in the morning, one in the afternoon, and another sometime in the evening - for seven days. The music is performed by Pedja Muzijevic and presented alongside paintings by Gloria Maximo. (Please visit 92Y.org for information on how to download the Seven Days app.)
The work is designed as a listening experience that tunes us into the passing of time, connecting us both to the present moment as well as the cycle of the week. The experience invites music to inhabit and structure our everyday - to find us where we are in the world. The morning-afternoonevening schedule is meant to focus participants on the dawn-to-dusk cycle as well as to create a communal listening ritual. It is also an experiment in large-scale form, designed to draw attention to musical material developing across a week-long expanse, interspersed with vast silences.
SEVEN DAYS was shaped by a year spent in relative isolation due to the pandemic. While it is a work composed during a time of quarantine, it will be experienced first by an audience in the process of returning to a more normal world. In that sense, it is an artwork born out of a year of relatively cloistered existence that seeks to preserve aspects of that experience as we move forward. The piece was also inspired by the work of Morton Feldman and Chantal Akerman, whose large-scale works consider time, process, and stillness. Their art struck me with a fresh relevance during the silent stretches of the pandemic year 2020. It was also a year in which writings about time, penned by contemplatives like Henry David Thoreau and Thomas Merton, held new weight. All of this in turnresonated with Gloria Maximo's profound paintings, which I've long admired.
SEVEN DAYS is an artwork we are invited to “do” - using music to point our attention to the present moment, the everyday, and the seemingly mundane. It is a piece listeners are also asked to live within as it unfolds over a week rather than to witness it live. The key players here are time and the listener's own surroundings, starring together alongside music and art in a wordless drama. -Gregory Spears

Jörg Widmann's Diabelli Variation was created as part of Rudolf Buchbinder's Diabelli 2020 project, in which numerous contemporary composers composed new variations on Beethoven's cycle. His multi-part variation has Beethoven's characteristic features and never loses the typical Widmann character.
