This Autumn, the positives reviews of Euterpe publications have been appeared in three British music magazines.

PIANO MAGAZINE:

Zygmunt Noskowski – Chopin for the Young

„(...) Chopin is represented in another Polish edition, this time from Euterpe. Zygmunt Noskowski, a much younger contemporary of Chopin, arranged six of Chopin's neglected songs for easy piano – attractively, idiomatically, and, in the Euterpe edition, rather nicely illustrated, too. Off the beaten track, interesting, fresh and fairly easy, these are nice introductions to the real thing but not serious repertoire contenders (...)”.


Robert Parker, WINDS MAGAZINE:

Michał Spisak – Wind Quintet

„As a reviewer I am sometimes reminded of Tom Hanks's classic line from the film Forrest Gump, when his character says „Life's like a box of chocolates: you never know what you're gonna get”. If you stay comfortably within your own little musical world, only playing what you know, you will never encounter music such as this Wind Quintet by Michał Spisak for flute, oboe, clarinet, horn and bassoon”.

„Euterpe's website reveals that he has had quite a few pieces published, mainly for orchestra, both with and without soloists, although a list of his complete works show a more balanced output including chamber music and choral works”.

„Michał Spisak's Wind Quintet is ideal for an established, advanced group looking for new challenges”.


PIANO PROFESSIONAL:

Zygmunt Noskowski – Chopin for the Young
Andrzej Cwojdziński – Pictures Enchanted by Sounds

„Universal Edition have now become responsible for distributing material from the Polish publishing firm – Euterpe Wydawnictwo. Their composers are well-established pedagogical experts in Poland and deserve world-wide recognition”.

„(...) The arrangements (Noskowski's Chopin for the Young) are all with the right hand playing the florid melodies over left hand accompaniments which are never too thick or complex, thus working well for Intermediate pianists who will delight in these simple and appealing tunes”.

„(...) I do not approve of transcriptions for piano but we are fortunate to have this publication of really great music geared at intermediate pianists which is also ideal sight-reading practice for more advanced students.”

„The Andrzej Cwojdziński 15 Piano miniatures for Children, are delightfully refreshing with their cantabile lines accompanied by modern-sounding harmonies, and contemporary chord clusters to enhance the character of the pieces. (…) The composer is an experienced teacher and pedagogue himself and aims the pieces at the level of students of Music Schools of the First Grade. It is the wonderful diversity of mood and character throughout these delightful pieces that will appeal to every young Intermediate pianist along with the rhythmic complexities and humour”.

„The pupil cannot fail to delight in these lively new pieces which are so full of character: Joke, Birds, Waltzing Organ-Grinder and Sleeping City to name a few. The last four pieces in this collection are pastiches in the styles of Mozart, Chopin, Szymanowski and Bach which can only enhance the students' musical education and imagination even further (...)”.

„Both publications are filled with enchanting brightly coloured contemporary illustrations by Małgorzata Flis which add to the excitement of painting pictures in the sound of music”.
