Max Prick van Wely/Albert Brussee
TROIS VALSES CARACTÉRISTIQUES
for piano
A second project in collaboration with Prick van Wely concerned a series Valses Caractérisiques. These were initially composed in 1982-1984 and were published by Harmonia (Hilversum) ‘in composers’ handwriting’. Some years later, in 1991, a printed selection was published by Broekmans & Van Poppel, entitled Trois Valses Caractéristiques, BP1623. It comprises three piano pieces in easy-listening style in which the influence of salon music from the early 20th century is to be felt. Each waltz is preceded by a beautiful litho created specially for this publication by the artist Iris de Leeuw. For the less advanced player, fingering and pedalling have been added.
Style: romantic.
Level of difficulty: Grade VI-VII (on a scale of XII grades)
– Valse sentimentale
– Valse légère
– Valse mélancolique

€11.95In the Music Section of The Liszt Society Journal (Volume 41; 2016) some unknown, largely unpublished songs by Franz Liszt were published, including Göttliche Gedanken. Playing through the score, it all sounded so well on the piano that soon the thought surfaced that the musical material would also come into its own as a keyboard piece. After an initial literal transcription, I have allowed myself greater liberties.

€7.50This keyboard arrangement of Bernstein’s ‘Maria’ from the musical West Side Story stands midway between a literal transcription and a free fantasy (paraphrase). First one hears the theme based on the sensual rocking rhythm of the habanera, as given by Bernstein. Quasi-improvising, moving a little further away from the original, the theme is then spun around with typical pianistic accompaniment figures. A music example can be heard at AB I-06.

€6.95In the early 1960s Max Prick van Wely composed Three improvisations on Peruvian folk music for the left hand alone for the famous Dutch pianist Cor de Groot. Many years later, when we had entered into partnership, I rewrote the first two folk-music arrangements for piano two-handed and combined these. In 1986 this composition was published by Broekmans & Van Poppel. Not available anymore, this is a slightly revised republication.

€7.50The well-known Poème by Fibich is best known in the arrangement for violin and piano by the famous violinist Jan Kubelik; the original keyboard piece is rarely heard anymore, possibly because it is only ten bars long. The current arrangement first presents the keyboard piece in its original setting. Then the theme is repeated in a varied way. Thus I have tried to give this composition a bit more ‘volume’ and to make it suitable for performance on stage.
