Suid-Afrikaanse Musiek Onderwyser |144 | November 2006
Universal Edition produced Soundsnew. 19 Easy Piano Pieces (ISBN: 3-7024-2921-2) edited by Peter Roggenkamp. The technical demands of the pieces correspond to Books II and III of the Mikrokosmos. Roxanne Panufnik, Johannes Maria Staud and Ian Wilson wrote works specifically for this collection, while pieces by Bartók and Webern, as well as by Jenö Takács, Karl Heinz Füssl, Friedrich Cerha, György Kurtág, Anthony Hedges, Arvo Pärt, Peter Roggenkamp, and Richard Rodney Bennet are also included. Notes on all the composers are included in German, English and French. Since new techniques and notation are gradually introduced, this collection can form part of a very interesting discovery of new music by young pianists. South African Music Teacher |144 | November 2006 r e v i e w s ~ r e s e n s i e s Well-known British pianist Joanna MacGregor’s edition of twelve contemporary pieces for piano — Unbeaten Tracks — is published by Faber Music (ISBN: 0-571- 52409-5). It is indeed a pleasure to notice so many unfamiliar names on the cover: Parricelli, Mukaiyama, Lodder, Hinde, McGarr and a few more. MacGregor writes in the introduction: “I asked a group of creative, talented musicians to come up with pieces that would not only stretch you technically, but would also give you other important things — a sense of groove, the chance to improvise, music that would unlock your imagination.” My impression is that the ‘you’ here refers to pianists from about Grade IV to Grade VII level. The ‘biopics’ of the composers and their realisations in sounds are fascinating, and well-worth investigating.
