Max Prick van Wely / Albert Brussee
IMPROVISATIE OVER PERUAANSE VOLKSMELODIEËN
for piano
In the early 1960s Max Prick van Wely composed Drie improvisaties over Peruaanse volksmelodieën voor de linkerhand alleen (‘Three improvisations on Peruvian folk music for the left hand alone’) for the famous Dutch pianist Cor de Groot. He never performed these, and the music was eventually given to me when I was attending the grammar school in Apeldoorn, where Prick van Wely was engaged as music teacher. Many years later and with permission of Prick van Wely, I rewrote the last two folk-music arrangements for piano two-handed and combined these (A-B-A form). In 1986 the composition was published by Broekmans & van Poppel, dedicated to the nowadays well-known jazz pianist Wolfert Brederode, whom at that time I was teaching at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague (technical development and classical repertoire).
Style: Romantic impressionism; colourful harmonies (early Villa Lobos).
Level of difficulty: Grade VII (on a scale of XII grades).

€8.95A second project in collaboration with Prick van Wely concerned a series Valses Caractérisiques: 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 visual artist Iris de Leeuw. For the less advanced player fingering and pedalling was added.

€6.95In 1990 Max Prick van Wely wrote 24 preludes for piano in Romantic style. At his suggestion I worked through these and arranged the most beautiful parts (in my opinion): Nos. 1, 24 and 19. In this way the Three Preludes in Romantic Style saw the light of day in the summer of 1991 in close and amicable collaboration. The first Prelude has served as a required piece for Grade exams in Belgium. The pieces are recorded on CD AB I-01.

€19.50Pianorama – a pianistic panorama of Europe consists of twelve folk music arrangements from different countries in Europe. The sequence of the parts was determined by the mutual differences in character and nature of the music of the countries concerned. The cycle can therefore best be performed in its totality. However, there is no motivic relationship between the parts, so that these also can be considered as stand-alone compositions.
