>>>> Philip Martin: Slovenia Programme and Notes

J. S. Bach.
French Suite No.5 in G major. BWV 816.
Allemande, Courante, Sarabande, Gavotte, Bouree, Bouree ii, Gigue.
This, the first of six French Suites shows Bach at his most refreshing and inventive.

Joseph Haydn.

Sonata in E flat
Written in December 1798, this sonata in E flat major is one of Haydn’s most charming.
In three movements, it is the second movement that moves to E major from E flat. Haydn
keeps the listener guessing and moves around the keyboard with great joy and
inventiveness.

Louis Moreau Gottschalk (1829-1869)
Born in Louisiana, his mainly, short, keyboard works, of which there are over 100 in
existence have all been recorded on the Hyperion record label by Philip Martin to much
acclaim. They are the first examples of Creole, latin American and Afro American dance
rhythms used in European musical forms. They anticipate ragtime by half a century and
predate the works of Albeniz, Granados and Milhaud, which made Gottschalk the first
truly American composer.
Gottschalk’s Melody
Solitude (1865)
Le banjo

INTERVAL

G. F. Haendel. The Harmonious Blacksmith
In E major, this delightful set of variations on a theme shows Handel at his most
resourceful and playful.
The title inference plays Homage to the forging historical heritage of this lovely town of
Kropa.

F. Chopin
Polonaise op.71 no.3 in F minor (1829)
Nocturne in C sharp Minor op. 27
Fantaisie – Impromptu op.66

Philip Martin (b-1947)
Lozano Blues (2002)
Broadway Boogie Woogie (2006)
These two pieces come from a published set of works called New York Nights.

George Gershwin
These preludes were written in 1927 and are dedicated to Gershwin’s great friend, Bill
Daly. There were 6 preludes originally but on Bill Daly’s advice Gershwin only had these
three published by Chappells.
