Dianne Goolkasian Rahbee - Printed Piano Works

Dianne began her musical training as a pianist in Boston with Antoine Louis Moeldner, who studied with two of Leschetitzky's most illustrious pupils, Helen Hopekirk and Paderewski. The Moeldner-Hopekirk connection would have particular impact: Moeldner had been a teaching assistant to Ossip Gabrilovich, while Helen Hopekirk was herself a highly respected composer and pianist, and served as an early role model for Goolkasian Rahbee. The influence of this distinguished lineage was a powerful inspiration. She continued her studies at Juilliard as a piano major and at Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria studying chamber music with Enrico Mainardi. In later years, Dianne studied piano privately with David Saperton in New York and Lily Dumont, Russell Sherman, and Veronica Jochum in Boston. As a self-taught composer, she began writing pieces for her piano students and received encouragement to continue this work from Constance Keene and David Saperton among others.

At age 40, Goolkasian Rahbee began concentrating on composing, and has since produced a large body of works for piano solo, orchestra, instrumental ensembles, percussion, and voice. Her music is performed internationally, and many large festivals have featured her works in the U.S. and abroad.

Preludes Volume 1 - Early intermediate through Late intermediate piano preludes by Dianne Goolkasian Rahbee, ed. by Rebecca Raffaelli - This two-volume collection of preludes contains short character pieces with a wide range of emotional expression and a wide range of technical demands from intermediate to advanced. The performer may decide to program these preludes as single pieces or in groupings in any order. While written in part as pedagogical exercises, these preludes are beautifully constructed miniatures that take an honored place among the preludes of Chopin, Bach, and Scriabin. They are written as single compositions rather than in cycles like the preludes of Bach and Chopin. Some reflect the rhythms and dance forms found in the music of modernists like Ginastera and Ligeti and many are neo-romantic in style with emotionally expressive melodic content. - Contents: Prelude (In Memoriam) Op.116; Prelude Op.4, No.8; Prelude (Escape to Inner Space) Op.138, No.1; Prelude Op.4, No.4; Prelude (from Three Preludes) Op.5, No.1; Prelude (from Three Preludes) Op.5, No.2; Prelude (from Three Preludes Op.5, No.3; Prelude Op.46; Prelude (August from Three Preludes) Op.87, No.1; Prelude (Lullaby for Elias, from Three Preludes) Op.87, No.2; Prelude (Celebration, from Three Preludes) Op.87, No.3; Prelude (Melody) Op.88; Prelude (Chaotic Life in the 90's) Op.90; Three holleck Preludes, Op.115; Prelude (autumn) Op.89; Prelude (Dialogue, From Three Preludes) Op.18, No.7; Prelude (Flute frolic, from Three Preludes) Op.18, No.1; Prelude (Capriccio, from Three Preludes) Op.18, No.5; Prelude (Whim) Op.62 .....$9.95 FJH J1017-08+597
