A project of my heart became reality:
Concert Castanets & Piano, the audio recordings of the albums Concert Castanets I to III are available online on my new account at Bandcamp – amparodetriana.bandcamp.com and soon also as CDs.
Amparo de Triana – Concert Castanets
Yoshimi Ogawa – piano
3 albums with 24 solos and 3 castanet duos
Concert Castanets I:
Concert castanets for the 6 little preludes by J. S. Bach, BWV 933 to 938 and a castanet duet.
Concert Castanets II:
Concert castanets for 10 short works by Burgmüller, L. Mozart, Purcell, Lully, J. S. Bach, Petzold, Beethoven and Händel plus a castanet duet.
.
Concert Castanets III:
Concert castanets for 9 ‘Lyrical Pieces’ by Edvard Grieg with virtuoso character, 8 solos and a piece for two voices.
The scores for the castanet parts can be found in the music volumes Concert Castanets I – III.
There are compositions at various levels from beginners with good previous knowledge to virtuoso castanet players. On the albums, after Concert Castanets & Piano, there is also Piano solo, i.e. the accompanying part for castanet players who want to play the compositions, as well as Piano plus 1st part castanets and Piano plus 2nd part castanets for the two-part pieces.
Further information about the sheet music volumes can be found here on the website in the blog entry Sheet Music for Concert Castanets.
My heartfelt thanks go above all to Angelika Eckart, who developed the project, pushed it and made it possible, to Yoshimi Ogawa and Tom Auffarth, who immediately got started with me enthusiastically. A really exciting time.
