Album & Artwork

The album title, "Il Maestro e lo Scolare," translates to "The Teacher and the Student," reflecting the album's concept of music for teacher and student.

Composition History

Franz Liszt contributed a variation to the 'Paraphrases' collection, but he did not include the 'little person' playing the "Chopsticks" theme.

Composition History

The 'Paraphrases' on CD/set 2 are based on the Russian version of the "Chopsticks" theme, which is played by a 'little person' with one finger of each hand.

Interpretation

The album's concept originated from Antony Gray's experience teaching and the idea that music written for teacher and student could make for an engaging album.

Recording & Production

This recording features Antony Gray, the 'Maestro,' performing with his students, referred to as 'Scolare,' on various pieces.

Compositional Technique

André Caplet's pieces in "Un tas de petites choses dans tous les tons" use only the five notes C D E F G in the top part, while the accompaniment explores various keys.

Recording & Production

Several contemporary composers, including Michael Blake, John Carmichael, Joe McGrail, and Erik Windrich, wrote pieces specifically for this recording.
