Excerpt:Vladimir Horowitz (1903 - 1989) Georges Bizet (1838 - 1875) Variations on a Theme from Carmen are a set of variations composed and performed by the Russian pianist Vladimir Horowitz , they are based on a gypsy dance from Georges Bizet 's opera Carmen . Background Of Horowitz's many transcriptions, the Carmen Variations were the only one to remain in his repertoire throughout his career. He played them from his earliest concerts in the 1920s, where he often wowed his audience with the "show stopping" encore , through to his golden jubilee season in 1978, over fifty years later. The main theme of the piece originates from the energetic gypsy dance from Act II of Bizet's opera Carmen , a theme that has been used by many for various other variations and transcriptions, including Moszkowski 's Chanson Bohème de l'Opéra Carmen . Although Horowitz had no desire to see the piece published, he performed it in many concerts and showed it to a couple of friends and acquaintances. He even made a piano roll of the piece, but always kept the score to himself. Horowitz's audiences loved the Carmen Variations and he was often compelled to perform them everywhere. Eventually Horowitz became tired of this as his audiences forgot the rest of the programme after the encore. Analysis The first few bars of the Carmen Variations (1968 Version) The piece begins with the basic unchanged theme in a rapid tempo, however the mood soon turns playful but with an increasing technical demand on the pianist. Notes cascade from the upper register and rhythms becom... ... Read more

Le livre consiste d'articles Wikipedia sur : Vladimir Horowitz, Sviatoslav Richter, Emil Guilels, Dimitri Tchesnokov, Sergueï Bortkiewicz, Natacha Kudritskaya, Dimitri Naïditch, Valentina Lisitsa, Vitaly Samoshko, Iakov Zak. Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Vladimir Samoïlovitch Horowitz (en russe : , en ukrainien : ), né à Berditchev en Ukraine le 1 octobre 1903 (certaines sources citent Kiev) et mort à New York le 5 novembre 1989, est un pianiste virtuose américain d'origine russe. Pianiste mythique, « roi des pianistes », Vladimir Horowitz fut admiré pour la puissance de son jeu pianistique et pour ses multiples prouesses techniques, par le public comme par les pianistes professionnels : Clara Haskil, qui le surnommait « Satan au clavier », Martha Argerich, Sviatoslav Richter, Arcadi Volodos, Valery Kuleshov, Arthur Rubinstein. Il gagna la réputation de meilleur virtuose pour ses interprétations de Liszt, Chopin, Rachmaninov, Scriabine et Tchaïkovski. Soulignons aussi l'art d'Horowitz dans l'interprétation de la musique impressionniste (Liszt, Au bord d'une source par exemple ; Wagner Isoldes Liebestod arrangée pour piano par Liszt, un des derniers enregistrements d'Horowitz) mais aussi de la musique moderne : il créa de nombreuses sonates de Dmitri Kabalevski et de Prokofiev aux USA (sixième, septième, huitième). Il fit aussi redécouvrir au monde musical des compositeurs tels que Muzio Clementi ou Domenico Scarlatti, en s'ingéniant à démontrer qu'ils furent des précurseurs du romantisme et de la musique de Beethoven. Il mettait beaucoup de soin à composer ses récitals, et à choisir les quelques morceaux dignes d'être interprétés en concert ou en enregistrement. Comme conséquence, sa discographie est moins étendue qu'on aurait pu le sou...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more
