untitled Funny Rag / Toon's Rag I've long been a fully paid up member of Tisserand's fan club, and so it should come as no surprise that to me this writer hits the nail on the head every time.These two modest little fun duets are both rags, and both written in straight rhythms on the page, with the instruction to make the quavers into a triplet of quavers.Funny Rag is, as you might guess, full of humour with lots of bluesy melodies and quirky rhythmic ideas, with a memorable main theme and lots of light-hearted antics along the way. The coda comes about after a gradual build up of notes leading to a run in both parts of triplet quavers and a humorous almost throwaway ending: lovely.Toon's Rag begins with staccato seventh chords sliding down the fingerboard, leading into a cheeky little tune built on a glissando.
Musique, Rue de Rome... Stephane blet site officiel Stephane Blet 6 CDS SET NEW Schumann Liszt Chopin Satie Mozart Lieu de livraison : Monde entier Our Great Solace in Our Great Need "Born in 1670 in County Meath, Ireland, Turlough O'Carolan was a harpist, composer and singer whose music has been passed down over the generations and has made him a national musical figure. Blind (from smallpox) from the age of 18, this did not stop him traversing the length and breadth of Ireland and composing well over 200 compositions. This new publication contains just twelve of O'Carolan's harp pieces; Pascal Bournet has chosen well here and has not gone for the usual suspects presenting instead some perhaps lesserknown compositions. Titles are: Carolan's Welcome; Carolan's Ramble to Castiel; Heuilett; O'Flunn; James Betagh; Betagh's Jig; Lady Saint John; Lord Inchiquin; Mrs, Crojton; Henry MacDermott Roe; Bumper Squire Jones; Hugh O'Donnell. Musically, the programme veers more towards the up-tempo side of things and is, in general, full of highly melodic material. Steve Marsh (Classical Guitar Magazine)
Gérard Billaudot Éditeur | Éditions musicales depuis 1896 These 29 Clever Drawings Will Make You Question Everything Wrong With The World Polish artist Pawel Kuczynski has worked in satirical illustration since 2004, specializing in thought-provoking images that make his audience question their everyday lives. His subjects deal with everything from social media to politics to poverty, and while most of them can be interpreted in more than one way, it's clear that they all have at least one very distinct message behind them. Many of these made me uncomfortable... but in a good way. Even if you don't agree with the messages behind some of these illustrations, it's impossible not to appreciate the creativity involved in them. Check out Pawel's website here! H/T: imgur.com
PMI > Stéphane Blet rend hommage à Horowitz propos recueillis par Thomas Herreng Le monde musical célèbre en 2009 le vingtième anniversaire de la disparition de l'un des pianistes les plus célèbres -et peut-être les plus controversés- du vingtième siècle : Vladimir Horowitz. A cette occasion, le pianiste Stéphane Blet, disciple de Byron Janis lui-même unique élève d'Horowitz, a enregistré un récital en forme d'hommage. On y trouve ses paraphrases les plus célèbres (Carmen, la Marche de Rakoczy) mais également quelques clins d'œil, comme une transcription de l'Adagio d'Albinoni réalisée par Stéphane Blet sur les conseils du maître. Le pianiste français a accepté de nous parler de la légende du piano qu'était Horowitz, de leur rencontre, de sa personnalité facétieuse et de son jeu inimitable. Horowitz possédait un jeu très particulier, un touché immédiatement reconnaissable. Vous l'avez rencontré plusieurs fois. SB : Je l'ai vu une dizaine de fois.
