John Field is credited as the true ''inventor'' of the Nocturne. After experimenting with other names such as Pastorale, Serenade, and Romance, he settled on Nocturne when his first one was published in 1812.Field's Nocturnes follow no known form, nor do they develop a given theme. Instead, they set up a mood and atmosphere of tenderness and dreaminess combined with a continuous flow of beautiful melody that appeals directly to the listener''s willingness to share an emotion, mostly of consoled sadness. It was Field''s Nocturnes that greatly influenced Chopin, who absorbed the emotional characteristics of the Nocturne style and used them to create his own unique expressive compositions.Nocturnes für KlavierDer irische Komponist/Pianist John Field ist vor allem als Erfinder der Nocturne bekannt und hatte großen Einfluss auf romantische Komponisten, darunter vor allem Chopin.

Shawn Okpebholo's Heritage, in the Edition Peters Concert Band Series, evokes moods, events and sounds (including West African drumming and indigenous melodies) from an ethnomusicological research visit the composer undertook to Nigeria. One of the primary musical themes of the work is an adaptation of a song that comes from the Esan people, a small ethnic group in the southern part of Nigeria and the tribe to which the composer has deep historical and family ties.The Esan language is poetic in nature and, at various moments in the work, the musicians chant the text from an Esan song: Ekine leleyea do obhimen la doeki nalo (My investment in you is paid off. Because of your hard work, your future is bright).Heritage is a revised version of a work previously entitled This is Africa, which was commissioned by Professor Marcellus Brown and the Boise State University Symphonic Winds for the 2011 National CBDNA Convention an

The appearance of the Messe Saint-Cécile caused a kind of shock. This simplicity, this grandeur, this serene light which rose before the musical world like a breaking dawn, troubled people enormously. . . . at first one was dazzled, then charmed, then conquered. So wrote Camille Saint-Saëns after hearing the premiere of Gounod''s ''Messe solennelle en l''honneur de Sainte-Cécile'' on St Cecilia''s day, 22 November 1855. Classic Edition Peters Vocal Score edited by Roland Erben.

This volume also contains pieces from Kinderstücke Op. 72, which Mendelssohn wrote for the children of the Benecke family during a summer stay in London. The edition contains 14 shorter piano pieces, mostly at a moderate level of difficulty, including the easiest of the Lieder ohne Worte', as well as Charakterstücke and Kinderstücke and several lesser-known works.In Zusammenarbeit mit dem Mendelssohn-Haus Leipzig präsentiert Edition Peters Mendelssohns Musikalische Kostbar

This new Urtext edition of Mozart's Piano Sonata in A major K331 (300i), with the famous final Rondo Alla turca', draws on a recently-discovered autograph source to create a version which has substantial differences particularly in the six variations and the Menuetto to earlier editions. In the preface, the editor, Klaus Burmeister, considers this new edition within the history (dating back to 1784) of printed editions of the sonata, particularly at Edition Peters. The editor also pays particularly attention to the specific use of articulation marks, as Mozart learned to use them from his father Leopold.Neuausgabe nach dem neu aufgefundenen Teilautograph in der Széchényi-Nationalbibliothek in Budapest.

Like many of his works, Bach has also edited the St. John Passion several times. A final version of Bach''s hand is not available. The reworking concerns both the instrumentation as well as changes in the sequence of movements. The textual basis is the biblical account of the evangelist John (John 18 and 19) with the insertions from the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 26:75 and 27, 51-52). The hymns come from the current repertoire of the Bach''s time and deviate only in a few cases from the original form. Due to the source material, the (complete) world premiere can be dated with sufficient certainty on April 7, 1724. New English Translation by The Reverend Lyndon van der Pump. Please note the original German text is NOT included in this edition.Johannes-Passion BWV 245 (Klavierauszug)Johann Sebastian Bachs erste Passion aus dem Jahr 1724 basiert auf dem Bericht des Evangelisten Johannes über das Leiden und den Tod Jesus Christus.

The Oboe Quartet in F major, K. 370/368b, was written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in early 1781. The quartet, originally arranged for oboe, violin, viola and cello is presented in this edition for Oboe with Piano accompaniment.In 1780, Mozart was invited to Munich to visit Elector Karl Theodor, who had commissioned the opera Idomeneo for a carnival celebration. While in Munich, Mozart renewed an acquaintance with Friedrich Ramm, avirtuoso oboist in the Munich orchestra. It was for Ramm that Mozart composed the quartet in order to show off his virtuosity and the improvements that had been made to the oboe at that time. One way that this piece showed off the instrument was the use of the ''high F'' above the staff, a note rarely played in any repertoire previously written for the oboe.This piece is a work of chamber music, but it has elements that harken to other musicalgenres, and requires a fair amount of virtuosity. Because of its large amount of virtu

Fauré would have been delighted to know that this edition corrects the misguided feline associations in the titles for the second and fourth of these pieces. ''Mi-a-ou'' should always have been known as ''Messieu Auol'' (reflecting an infant pronunciation of the eponymous Dolly''s older brother, Raoul), and ''Kitty-Valse'' should have been ''Ketty-Valse'', inspired ironically not by a cat but by the family dog! For such a cornerstone of the repertoire, Roy Howat - who personally knew Dolly Bardac, the suite''s dedicatee - finds a surprisingly high number of source discrepancies to evaluate in the comprehensive critical commentary, including an indication that Fauré conceived the famous opening ''Berceuse'' at a more flowing tempo than has become habitual over the decades. Based on his intimate knowledge of Fauré, he also urges the performers to keep rubato to a minimum, and keep the pedalling light.Fauré''s Dolly suite honours Hélène Bardac (1892-1985), second child of Fauré''s clos
