The aria or song is taken from the opera Rinaldo which first appeared in 1711 and was revised in 1733.
It is in ABA form and based on the sarabande rhythm which has the stress on the second beat of the three beats in the bar. When sung the Da Capo section would be an opportunity for the soloist to improvise and ornament the melody and this is option available to the organists although it is important to keep to the style and mood of the piece. This is very appropriate music for a solemn processional in an organ playing context. The use of three registrations is suggested and are indicated in the score. Rests have been indicated in all parts so that players have a clear understanding of the voicing. It is also a movement that invites interpretation and playing in different contexts. The arrangement is in the original key of F major although the tempo for the organ solo is more Larghetto than Largo which was the tempo indication in the opera. The video score plays back at a tempo of 66 half note or minim beats to the minute. Rests are indicated in the score enabling players to have a clear understanding of the voicing of the musical lines.
Moskowski has also arranged the aria for piano. Close

It's A Date is a beginner level piano/keyboard piece based on a 12 bar blues. As a beginner score the letter names of the notes appear in the note heads and suggested fingering is in place. The tempo of the playback on the video score is 84 half note or minim beats to the minute.Players need to take notice of the accent signs marked in the score and keep their hands as light as possible. Playing a blues structured piece of music does encourage fluent playing and the development of musical memory. The 12 bar blues forms the basis of much popular music of the 20th century. Close

Ignacio Cervantes (1847-1905) was a Cuban pianist and composer and his music is an early example of nationalism. Los Tres Golpes (The Three Strikes) originally composed for piano is one of his Danzas Cubanas exploring the habanera rhythm. It is a short piece usually played through twice in a performance. It has a haunting quality and is suited to being played by a number of different instrument combinations. His music combines Cuban, European and African elements and he was fortunate in being able to travel to Paris to further his music studies studying with Charles-Valentin Alkan and others. A tempo of 96 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute is suggested. Close

This is the prelude in C minor BWV 999 transcribed to the key of D minor. Right and left hand fingering is specified. The chordal element of this piece relates well to the modern musical ear. The movement was popularised by Segovia's solo guitar playing although the origins of the movement are as a lute piece. This movement has to be rhythmically secure - it is tempting to play the movement too quickly or too methodically so choosing an appropriate tempo is quite a performance challenge.. Close

A two part solo keyboard version of this movement with the right and left hand fingering specified together with some additional score detail. One of Bach’s most beautiful melodies associated particularly with the flute repetoire. The binary AB form minuet is from the Orchestral Suite in B minor BWV 1067. Players may wish to refer to the Two Part score which has the ornaments written out to clarify how they should be played and listen to the mp3 realisation which can similarly be downloaded. Close

A piano / keyboard arrangement with the right and left hand fingering clearly specified. This particular bourrée shouldn't be played too quickly and a tempo of around 60 half note (minim) beats to the minute is suggested. A bourrée is a dance for often found in the baroque suite having two half note (minim) beats to the bar, a moderate to fast tempo and begins with an upbeat on the last quarter note of the bar. The realisation is lacking in tonal contrast. Close

This busy uplifting movement requires a good technique and level of musicianship to be played accurately and at a consistent tempo. The imitative counterpoint is a strong feature and and for the notes and shapes to be clearly articulated the piano or keyboard player needs to have a light touch. A tempo of 96 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute is recommended. Close

This solo keyboard version of the Two Part Inventions has right and left hand fingering specified. A flowing and reflective movement which should be played at a tempo which gives the music an uplifting feel rather a plodding one. A tempo of 72 dotted eighth note beats (dotted quaver) to the minute is suggested. The ornaments for this movement do present something of a challenge and I would suggest leaving them out whilst the piece is being learnt. Modern Bach playing benefits from a fairly dry acoustic with little use of the piano sustaining pedal. Close

The Two Part Inventions are excellent training pieces but do require a secure technique if they are to be performed competently. This is a challenging piece because it can be performed convincingly at different tempi. I would suggest that the sixteenth notes (semiquavers) are played evenly without any exaggeration or alteration to the rhythmic intention. This version has right and left hand fingering specified.
