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).

€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.

€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.

€11.95The well-known Liszt interpreter Leslie Howard published in the Music Section of The Liszt Society Journal (Volume 41; 2016) some unknown, largely unpublished songs by Franz Liszt, including a composition entitled Göttliche Gedanken, in manuscript kept in the Goethe- und Schiller-Archiv in Weimar (GSA-60/ Z12). Playing through the score, I was immediately impressed by the beauty of the music and 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. And so this piano arrangement came quite quickly to fruition. After an inital literal transcription, I have allowed myself greater liberties.

€5.75The well-known Poème by Fibich is best known in the arrangement for violin and piano by the famous violinist Jan Kubelik (1880-1940), who played his transcription all over the world. However, 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. In a simple way I have tried to give this composition a bit more ‘volume’ and to make it suitable for performance on stage.
