Three pieces for piano (six hands) – Easy<\/p>\n
Score available in hard copy or for download.<\/p>\n
Each piece in these collections for six-hand piano corresponds to an anniversary (Geburstag <\/em>in German). Some of these dates mark public anniversaries, serving as brief tributes to certain composers or artists (Luigi Russolo, John Cage, Erik Satie, Ruzzante). Others commemorate historical events (the proclamation of the Spanish Republic, the ringing of Notre-Dame de Paris\u2019s bells following the November 13 attacks), while still others correspond to private anniversaries. <\/p>\n Geburstag I<\/strong> : 30 avril 1885 <\/em>(Luigi Russolo with accessories) – 1’40”<\/p>\n April 30, 1885, marks the anniversary of Luigi Russolo\u2019s birth. An Italian Futurist, he developed the concept of the art of noise and authored a manifesto of the same name in 1913. The emergence of noise into the musical realm foreshadowed musical worlds inspired by industrial, mechanical, or electrical noises\u2014sounds produced by man-made machines. Geburstag II<\/strong> : 5 septembre 1912 <\/em>(John Cage : prepared piano and two Toys-Piano) – 1’35”<\/p>\n September 5, 1912, marks the anniversary of the birth of John Cage, an American composer, inventor of the prepared piano, and pioneer of toy-piano music. Geburstag III<\/strong> : 1er<\/sup> juillet 1925 <\/em>(Erik Satie) – 3’00”<\/p>\n July 1, 1925, marks the anniversary of Erik Satie\u2019s death. The piece is a \u201cmix\u201d of several distorted quotations from his works: *Pi\u00e8ge de M\u00e9duse*, *Gymnop\u00e9dies*, *Gnossiennes*, *Jack in the Box*, *Vexations*, *Sports et divertissements*… <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Geburstag IV, V, VI<\/em><\/strong> , intermediate<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Geburstag VII, VIII, IX<\/em><\/strong>, difficult<\/strong><\/p>\n Three pieces for piano (six hands) – Easy<\/p>\n Score available in hard copy or for download.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":10629,"template":"","meta":{"ocean_post_layout":"","ocean_both_sidebars_style":"","ocean_both_sidebars_content_width":0,"ocean_both_sidebars_sidebars_width":0,"ocean_sidebar":"0","ocean_second_sidebar":"0","ocean_disable_margins":"enable","ocean_add_body_class":"","ocean_shortcode_before_top_bar":"","ocean_shortcode_after_top_bar":"","ocean_shortcode_before_header":"","ocean_shortcode_after_header":"","ocean_has_shortcode":"","ocean_shortcode_after_title":"","ocean_shortcode_before_footer_widgets":"","ocean_shortcode_after_footer_widgets":"","ocean_shortcode_before_footer_bottom":"","ocean_shortcode_after_footer_bottom":"","ocean_display_top_bar":"default","ocean_display_header":"default","ocean_header_style":"","ocean_center_header_left_menu":"0","ocean_custom_header_template":"0","ocean_custom_logo":0,"ocean_custom_retina_logo":0,"ocean_custom_logo_max_width":0,"ocean_custom_logo_tablet_max_width":0,"ocean_custom_logo_mobile_max_width":0,"ocean_custom_logo_max_height":0,"ocean_custom_logo_tablet_max_height":0,"ocean_custom_logo_mobile_max_height":0,"ocean_header_custom_menu":"0","ocean_menu_typo_font_family":"0","ocean_menu_typo_font_subset":"","ocean_menu_typo_font_size":0,"ocean_menu_typo_font_size_tablet":0,"ocean_menu_typo_font_size_mobile":0,"ocean_menu_typo_font_size_unit":"px","ocean_menu_typo_font_weight":"","ocean_menu_typo_font_weight_tablet":"","ocean_menu_typo_font_weight_mobile":"","ocean_menu_typo_transform":"","ocean_menu_typo_transform_tablet":"","ocean_menu_typo_transform_mobile":"","ocean_menu_typo_line_height":0,"ocean_menu_typo_line_height_tablet":0,"ocean_menu_typo_line_height_mobile":0,"ocean_menu_typo_line_height_unit":"","ocean_menu_typo_spacing":0,"ocean_menu_typo_spacing_tablet":0,"ocean_menu_typo_spacing_mobile":0,"ocean_menu_typo_spacing_unit":"","ocean_menu_link_color":"","ocean_menu_link_color_hover":"","ocean_menu_link_color_active":"","ocean_menu_link_background":"","ocean_menu_link_hover_background":"","ocean_menu_link_active_background":"","ocean_menu_social_links_bg":"","ocean_menu_social_hover_links_bg":"","ocean_menu_social_links_color":"","ocean_menu_social_hover_links_color":"","ocean_disable_title":"default","ocean_disable_heading":"default","ocean_post_title":"","ocean_post_subheading":"","ocean_post_title_style":"","ocean_post_title_background_color":"","ocean_post_title_background":0,"ocean_post_title_bg_image_position":"","ocean_post_title_bg_image_attachment":"","ocean_post_title_bg_image_repeat":"","ocean_post_title_bg_image_size":"","ocean_post_title_height":0,"ocean_post_title_bg_overlay":0.5,"ocean_post_title_bg_overlay_color":"","ocean_disable_breadcrumbs":"default","ocean_breadcrumbs_color":"","ocean_breadcrumbs_separator_color":"","ocean_breadcrumbs_links_color":"","ocean_breadcrumbs_links_hover_color":"","ocean_display_footer_widgets":"default","ocean_display_footer_bottom":"default","ocean_custom_footer_template":"0"},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[259,356,657,327],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-13678","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-giner-bruno-en","7":"product_cat-keyboards-en","8":"product_cat-piano-six-hands","9":"product_cat-trio-en","10":"pa_difficulte-easy","12":"entry","13":"has-media","15":"first","16":"instock","17":"taxable","18":"shipping-taxable","19":"purchasable","20":"product-type-variable","21":"add-to-wishlist-before_image","22":"has-product-nav","23":"col","24":"span_1_of_4","25":"owp-content-center","26":"owp-thumbs-layout-horizontal","27":"owp-btn-normal","28":"owp-tabs-layout-horizontal"},"yoast_head":"\nGeburstag I, II, III <\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n
\nThis piece incorporates various sounds produced by the piano (muffled tones, percussion on the wood, guiro-like effects on the black keys, glissandi on the strings, etc.). Two items are required: a plastic object to imitate a guiro and a maraca egg. To avoid overloading the score, the instructions corresponding to the written symbols appear only once. <\/p>\n
\nThis piece must be performed with two toy pianos with at least 18 keys (pianists 1 & 2) and a prepared grand piano (pianist 3).
\nPreparing the Piano 3
\nTwo areas are prepared in advance on the grand piano:
\nArea 1: Place a piece of eraser between the two lowest A#-B strings in the range (muted sound, behind the dampers)
\nArea 2: Place one (or two) plastic CD cases behind the dampers, between the middle C and A, to achieve a sound similar to that of a harpsichord.<\/p>\n\n
