pianino à Bratislava.
Communiqué de presse sur le projet JNHummel,sortie du double cd en Mars 2008.French Institute in Bratislava
celebrates
the 170th Anniversary of
Jan Nepomuk HUMMEL’s death (1778-1837)
1. Principle
1.1. The idea consists in paying a tribute to the leading figure among the slovak composers from the 18th-19th centuries who was as well the greatest piano virtuoso of his time : Jan Nepomuk Hummel.
Born in 1778 in Bratislava (his native home is still to be visited in the downtown), a child prodigy, he has been the more gifted pupil of Mozart (with whom he spent 2 years in Vienna aged 8) and took over the position of the great Joseph Haydn in Eisenstadt at the service of the Esterhazy family. Friend and rival of Beethoven, he is actually a very good symbol of the link which exists between Slovakia, Germany and France.
After Bratislava, Vienna and Eisenstadt/Esterhaza, he spent more than 20 years in Germany as Kapellmeister in Stuttgart and then in Weimar where he died in 1837. He was there a close friend of Goethe.
Touring intensively in Europe till the end of his life, he has been awarded, on the other hand, the french Legion d’honneur and was a member of the Institut de France.
His musical style is that of the transition between classicism and romantism, not far from Schubert’s, Weber’s or Mendelssohn’s.
1.2. Three concerts (2 in Bratislava in historical buildings on November 18th, 1 in Banska Bystrica), workshops for students of the Banska Bystrica Faculty of musicology and the recording of 2 CDs will be carried out between november 9th-18th 2007 by some of the finest slovak, french and european musicians performing on period instruments.
2. Partners
The French Institute in Bratislava is the main organizer of this ambitious cultural and educational project. Others partners are The Slovak National Music Center, The University of Banska Bystrica and the European Union (Euromuse program).
3. Performers and instruments
The performers, all of them specialists of historical instruments, include members of Solamente Naturali ensemble from Bratislava led by Milos Valent, Sherman Plasner, violinist and violist (Julliard School, Minkowski…), Dominique Eder (1rst Prize from Paris Conservatory, teacher at the Nancy National Conservatory, specialist of romantic guitar)…
Two original pianofortes will be brough from Paris : one instrument (Germany, 1790s) has just being restored by the famous Christopher Clarke whereas the second will be a Pleyel pianino from 1837 (actually Hummel’s death year), a model very similar to the favourite instrument of Chopin.
Altogether, 14 musicians will be involved in this project.
4. The works
The 2 programs (= 2 CDs) are (approx. 70’ each):
4.1. The 2 septets opus 74 and 114 which are said to be 2 of the finest chamber works by Hummel. Often recorded but never on period instruments.
a. Septet n°1 in d opus 74 (1816) for pianoforte, flute, oboe, horn, viola, cello, doublebass (ca 30’)
b. Septet n°2 in C (“Military septet”) opus 114 (1829) for pianoforte, flute, clarinet, trumpet, violin, cello, doublebass (ca 30’)
4.2. The complete chamber music with guitar (including world premieres taken from libraries in Vienna, Copenhagen and Washington), a set of 6 charming sometimes funny scores :
a. The 2 “Grandes Serenades” opus 63 in G and 66 (1814) in C for pianoforte, guitar, violin, clarinet and bassoon
b. The “Grand Pot-pourri national” for pianoforte and guitar opus 79 in F (1819)
c. The “Pot-pourri” for pianoforte and guitar opus 53 in g (1810).
d. The “Concertante duet” for guitar and piano in E
e. The lied La sentinelle opus 71 in C for soprano, pianoforte, guitar, violin and violoncello.
5. Special limited edition for SPP, sponsor
The 2 CDs may appear in a special limited edition especially designed for SPP with a booklet about Hummel who remains till our days in the shadow although he is without any doubt a prominent slovak and european artist.

-------------------------------------------------
Communiqué de presse :
Pour la première fois depuis le départ de Chopin en hiver 1838/39 un pianino Pleyel en état de jeu revient sur l’île de Majorque. Afin de célébrer les 75 ans du musée Chopin, un récital des œuvres composées à Majorque sur le pianino Pleyel de F.Chopin n°6668 aura lieu sur le pianino Pleyel n° 5971, interprété par la pianiste Aya Okuyama.
Aya Okuyama : Née au Japon en 1973, Aya Okuyama commence le piano à l’âge de quatre ans et travaille avec Etsko Tazaki à Tokyo, et poursuit ses études au Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris dans les classes de Brigitte Engerer, Michel Béroff et Pierre-Laurent Aimard. Elle est titulaire du Diplôme de Formation Supérieure (Premier Prix) de Piano et de Musique de Chambre au Conservatoire national supérieur de musique et de danse de Paris en 1999 et du Diplôme Supérieur de Piano-Forte au Conservatoire supérieur de Paris - CNR dans la classe de Patrick Cohen en 2002. Elle est régulièrement invitée à donner des récitals et des concerts de musique de chambre en France, en Suisse, en Allemagne, en Autriche, en Espagne, en Belgique, en Italie ainsi qu’au Japon. Depuis quelques temps, elle explore d’anciens pianos Pleyel de la période de F. Chopin et nous fait découvrir par des récitals et performances, tout un univers immensément riche en couleurs, nuances et sonorités, authentique et fidéle témoignage du langage musical et instrumental de la première moitié du 19ème siècle.

Description du pianino Pleyel :
PIANINO Pleyel de juillet 1837 de 6 octaves, Fa fa, N°5971
Le pianino est bicorde.
2 pédales: forte et una corda.
Table d'harmonie en épicea.
Cordes en fer, basses filées en cuivre.
Ame en fer et laiton.
Caisse plaquée en acajou de Cuba.
Support de clavier en pieds à griffes de lion.
Les marteaux sont recouverts de feutre.
Ce pianino Pleyel, à quelques numéros près et hormis la quarte dans les basses, est semblable au modèle reçu par Frédéric CHOPIN à la Chartreuse de Valdemosa en janvier 1839. Le précieux instrument, une fois arrivé, ne quittera plus l’île et il est aujourd’hui, une des pièces importante du musée Chopin de Majorque. Avant sa difficile réception (retard de livraison et blocage des douanes), Chopin composa sur un pianino espagnol. Finalement, le Pleyel arriva à dos d’âne et le timbre caractèristique du pianino résonait dans la Chartreuse. Chopin termina donc les préludes, ainsi qu’un scherzo, la ballade n°2 en fa majeur, deux polonaises, la mazurka en mi mineur, deux nocturnes, et l’ébauche de la marche funèbre. Ce modèle de Pleyel servira le grand compositeur tout au long de sa vie. On le trouve chez Georges Sand à Nohant, à l’hôtel Lambert dans l’île Saint-Louis à Paris et différents témoignages prouvent que Chopin affectionnait tout particulièrement ce modèle. La delicatesse de son jeu était en parfaite harmonie avec les grandes qualités du toucher et la pureté du timbre de cet étonnant petit piano-forte.
