	Swietly Piano Trio

		Gershwin's piano music includes the three Preludes, written in 1926, pieces that retain a modest place in modern American piano repertoire.
		Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, written in 1924 for Paul Whiteman and his jazz band, marries jazz with something of the classical form, an avenue further explored in Gershwin's Piano Concerto of the following year.
		He won success as a composer of light music, of songs and musicals, but in a relatively small number of compositions made forays into a new form of classical repertoire.

	Clarinet F o r u m : Repertoire Pieces
		ALOMARvelous12 was talking about very important repertoire for classical clarinet and orchestra/piano/chamber group, not band music which is, for the most part, shlock.
		Hmmm, interesting, but i don`t see how any piece can be an important clarinet repertoire piece if it is not large scale (controversial), and original (written for the instrument - not an arrangement).
		i believe the 10 most important peices of clarinet repertoire are (roughly in order)

	Johannes Brahms - Piano Concerto No. 2

		Brahms's second piano concerto was begun in 1878 and completed in July of 1881.
		He wrote to the violinist Joseph Joachim: "A second will sound different." Brahms was true to his word, but a second piano concerto was over 20 years in coming.

	Sergei Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No.1
		The D flat chords of the latter's First Piano Concerto - one of the most famous opening solo gestures in the repertoire - are here transcribed for strings and brass.
		The piano itself then joins the orchestra in a surging lyrical theme, the kind of theme (and especially the kind of texture) that Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov likes to reserve for the culmination of a finale; and the kind of theme which seems destined, as this one does, to come to a full stop.
		Above all, the chameleon-like adaptation of the piano to its surroundings is pure Prokofiev.

	Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - Piano Concerto 21
		In the decade that remained of his life, he would produce seventeen piano concerti, many of which now number among the masterpieces of the repertoire.

		In the composer's early years, pianos were still regarded as new inventions.

	THE LEARNABLE INSTRUMENT PROJECT
		I see no theoretical reason one couldn't play the standard piano repertoire on dual- or triple-offset chromatic keyboards: they conserve the left and right hand parts, though the widest intervals would be fingered a bit differently, using the spare board(s).
		Acoustic pianos had never bent notes or had reverb--these are direct borrowings from the electric guitar, which had a twenty-year technological lead.
		Since pitches can't be distinguished by an irregular pattern of keys (as on a piano), the keys on my mockups are color-coded (labeled too--I believe in redundancy.) The resulting rainbow pattern is rather like the scales of a large tropical snake; it looks both high-tech and tribal, which can't hurt its marketability.

	James Price Johnson, African American Composer
		Fumo teaches piano at the Conservatory of Castel Franco Veneto in Italy and is a specialist in the performance of African American piano repertoire of the jazz age.
		The solo piano part amply illustrates Johnson's wide reach, with an abundance of stride piano left-hand tenths and extended right-hand excursions, all the while infused with the blues.
		In jazz he was the foremost exponent of the stride piano style, and his composition Carolina Shout, recorded in 1921, became the test piece for younger musicians.

	Poulenc complete Chamber Music [RH]: Classical CD Reviews- Apr 2003 MusicWeb(UK)

		Sextet for piano, flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon and horn (1932/1939)
		The Elegie for horn and piano was written in memory of Dennis Brain and is a rather unconvincing experiment in serialism.

	Marcato - Belgian Piano Quartet
		When required by the music they want to play, a string quartet temporarily replaces one of their members with a piano player or a piano trio adds a violin player to their ranks.
		Although not as extensive as for a string quartet, there is enough to compile a rich and varied repertoire.
		They wanted something different and eventually settled for a combination of piano, violin, viola and cello : piano quartet Marcato was born.

	Piano Lesson Myths Piano Lessons
		But on close examination, even the most “obvious” piano myths or beliefs about piano study and piano practice are not only wrong, they are damaging to the individual who is bound by their chains.
		This constant alternation of activities when practicing is highly efficient, prevents boredom and enhances the “layering” effect of repetition that is needed to excel both at technique and learning repertoire at maximum speed.
		Piano growth occurs primarily from the cumulative time spent practicing, even if this is sporadic.

	The Classical Free-Reed, Inc. -- The Free-Reed Journal: Magistretti: Deiro
		About the origin of the piano accordion: I know something about it, because I am old (73) and I remember when I was a kid (maybe Pietro wasn't born yet).
		Guido's first recording and the first accordion record issued by an American company was released in May of 1911 and it contained two of the biggest favorites in the accordion repertoire, The Sharpshooters March (I Bersaglieri) and Ciribiribin.
		The piano accordion at that time was 48 or 60 bass.
