Les Études de Chopin sont deux cahiers chacun de douze études pour le piano que le compositeur polonais Frédéric Chopin publia dans les années 1830 : le premier, l'opus 10, dédié « à son ami F. Liszt » et le deuxième, l'opus 25, dédié « à Madame la Comtesse d'Agoult ». Mais on doit encore ajouter à cela, pour faire le tour de toutes les études proprement dites de Chopin, les Trois nouvelles études, sans numéro d'opus, que le compositeur écrivit pour la Méthode des méthodes de piano de Ignaz Moscheles et François-Joseph Fétis. Cet article a donc pour tâche de traiter de ces 27 études pour piano seul.

Los Estudios fueron uno de los géneros más frecuentados por el compositor romántico Chopin. Sus Estudios se han convertido en piezas clave del repertorio de piano.

Os estudos de Frédéric Chopin são 27 peças para piano solo, as quais compreendem duas coleções distintas de doze trabalhos cada, numeradas como Opus 10 e 25, e um conjunto de três peças sem número Opus.

Debuting as a child prodigy with the Philadelphia Orchestra at age twelve, Beth Levin was subsequently taught and guided by legendary pianists such as Rudolf Serkin, Leonard Shure and Dorothy Taubman. Another of her teachers, Paul Badura-Skoda, praised Levin as “a pianist of rare qualities and the highest professional caliber.” Her deep well of experience allows an intuitive connection to the great pianistic traditions, to Bach, to Mozart, to Beethoven.

Robert Dankwart Leo Riefling (født 17. september 1911 i Oslo, død 1. juli 1988) var en norsk pianist og musikkpedagog. Han debuterte 11 år gammel med Oslo filharmoniske orkester, og med solokonsert som fjortenåring i Gamle Logens store sal (september, 1925). Han ledet Rieflings Klaverinstitutt 1941–52, sammen med broren Reimar Riefling (1898–1981). I 1942–43 var han på Grini fangeleir og Bredtvet. Han var professor ved Det Kongelige Danske Musikkonservatorium 1965–73 og ved Norges musikkhøgskole 1973–80. Riefling utga om lag 60 plateinnspillinger: Bachs Das Wohltemperierte Klavier to ganger (første gang i 1946 som første nordmann som fremførte dette verket), samtlige klaversonater av Beethoven og Fartein Valens klaververk. Flere komponister har skrevet musikk for ham, blant dem Klaus Egge og Harald Sæverud. Til 75-årsdagen i 1986 avholdt Kong Olav V en festmatine for Riefling. Han skulle være æresgjest ved Festspillene i Nord-Norge i juni 1988 og dele ut Riefling-prisen, men ble syk og måtte melde avbud.

Beethoven: Rage Over a Lost Penny, Op. 129 - Rudolf Buchbinder, 1977 - Teldec 4.44083 (Chromium D)

davidhertzberg 2023-09-26 | The "Rondo Alla ingharese quasi un capriccio" in G major, Op. 129 (Italian for "Rondo in the Hungarian style, almost a caprice"), is a rondo for piano written by Ludwig van Beethoven. It is better known by the title Rage Over a Lost Penny, Vented in a Caprice (from German: Die Wut über den verlorenen Groschen, ausgetobt in einer Caprice).

Die sog. „Wut über den verlorenen Groschen" ist der Populärname eines Klavierwerks von Ludwig van Beethoven. Der Originaltitel ist „Alla Ingharese quasi un Capriccio". Es ist das bekannteste von Beethovens vier Rondos. Die Aufführungsdauer liegt bei etwa 6 Minuten, bei einigen Interpreten bei fast 7. Der Untertitel „Wuth über den verlornen Groschen ausgetobt in einer Kaprize" stammt nicht von Beethoven, sondern wurde vermutlich von Beethovens Sekretär und Biographen Anton Schindler hinzugefügt. Und man kann auch durchaus die beiden Motive des Rondo-Themas -- den aufsteigenden Dreiklang und die nachfolgende schnelle Sechzehntelbewegung -- als Hüpfen und Kreiseln des Groschens und die sich wiederholenden Akkorde der linken Hand als „wütende" Begleitung interpretieren. Die originale Bezeichnung „alla ingharese", also „auf ungarische Art", bezieht sich auf die Lebhaftigkeit, das Temperament und „quasi un capriccio", also „wie ein Capriccio", meint die Launenhaftigkeit und Eigenwilligkeit, mit der die Motive kombiniert, modifiziert und überraschend in unerwartete Tonarten versetzt werden, jedoch so, dass sie immer in ihrer grundlegenden Gestalt erkennbar bleiben und sich, wie es sich für ein Rondo gehört, zwischendurch wieder in ihrer Ausgangsgestalt zeigen. Obwohl dieses G-Dur-Rondo die Opuszahl 129 trägt, ist es kein spätes Werk. Skizzenblätter stammen aus den Jahren 1795 bis 1798, Beethoven war also etwa 25 Jahre alt, als er dieses bis heute populäre (und von Dilettanten unterschätzte) Virtuosenstück komponierte.

Colère pour un sou perdu est un rondeau pour piano en sol majeur, op. 129, de Ludwig van Beethoven. Son titre original est Rondo a capriccio, avec l'indication de tempo Alla ingharese, quasi un capriccio. Le surnom Colère pour un sou perdu n'est pas de Beethoven. Beethoven a écrit ce morceau en 1795 alors qu'il n'avait pas 25 ans, mais ne l'a jamais terminé. C'est l'éditeur Anton Diabelli qui l'a complété puis publié à titre posthume.

「失われた小銭への怒り（ドイツ語Die Wut über den verlorenen Groschen）」は、ルートヴィヒ・ヴァン・ベートーヴェンのピアノ曲《ロンド・ア・カプリッチョ（奇想曲風ロンドの意）ト長調》作品129の俗称だが、あたかも副題であるかのように人口に膾炙し、本来の題名よりも有名になっている。自筆譜に書かれた正式な名称は、「奇想曲的なハンガリー風のロンド」(Rondo alla ingharese quasi un capriccio)である。作品番号は後期作品を連想させるが、実は1795年に作曲された初期作品であり、ベートーヴェンの死後になって発表された。したがってベートーヴェンがこのような副題をつけたわけではない。ベートーヴェンはこの作品を未完成のまま放置しており(主に左手の部分が空白になっている)、氏名不詳の校訂者（おそらく出版人のアントニオ・ディアベリ）によって補筆された。ベートーヴェンの偉大な作品群の1つというわけではないが、聴衆受けがするため、たびたび演奏されている。冒頭から急速なト長調の進行で始まる。ロンド形式のため、途中でト短調・ホ長調など従来どおりの転調展開をする。2/4拍子で速度が速く､右手部もアルペジオが広い音形で展開するので演奏は難しい。節度ある演奏と奇想曲の曲風の両立が奏者に求められる。

JS Bach: Prelude and Fugue in C Major BWV 846 - Edwin Fischer, 1933

davidhertzberg 2023-08-20 | Edwin Fischer (6 October 1886 – 24 January 1960) was a Swiss classical pianist and conductor.

The Well-Tempered Clavier, BWV 846–893, is a collection of two series of Preludes and Fugues in all 24 major and minor keys, composed for solo keyboard by Johann Sebastian Bach. In the German of Bach's time Clavier (keyboard) was a generic name indicating a variety of keyboard instruments, most typically a harpsichord or clavichord – but not excluding an organ either.

The modern German spelling for the collection is Das wohltemperierte Klavier. Bach gave the title Das Wohltemperirte Clavier to a book of preludes and fugues in all 24 major and minor keys, dated 1722, composed "for the profit and use of musical youth desirous of learning, and especially for the pastime of those already skilled in this study". Some 20 years later Bach compiled a second book of the same kind, which became known as The Well-Tempered Clavier, Part Two (in German: Zweyter Theil, modern spelling: Zweiter Teil).
