Description
Jaroslav Ježek (born 1906 in Prague, died 1942 in New York), is primarily known as a pioneer in Czech popular jazz music, as well as the artist behind the music for the majority of plays by renowned comedians Jiri Voskovec and Jan Werich. At the same time, however, one should not forget that especially the Piano Concerto and the Little Suite place Ježek among the leading figures of international Modernism (Paul Hindemith, Erwin Schulhoff and others) who, in the 1920s and 1930s, strove to incorporate jazz elements into serious music.
Bugatti step, written in 1931 as the overture to the play Don Juan & Comp., thanks to its true dance character and immense virtuosity, hovers on the borderline between these two musical genres. Its title is also of interest Jezek, a great sports enthusiast, chose the title in honour of the winning French racer Louis Chiros who drove a Bugatti at the Masaryk racing circuit in Brno, and his fascination with technology is reflected in the pulsating rhythms reminiscent of a four-stroke engine, present throughout the composition constructed on fourth intervals.
A score for vocalists that only contains the vocal lines. The instrumental parts are not there for reference. Generally, cheaper than a vocal score and requires multiple copies for purchase.
Facsimile of the Autograph
These are hardcover, research-quality reproductions of the original hand-written scores from the composer.
Hardcover
Some publishers print a hardbound, linen-covered version in addition to the standard paperback. The music inside is identical. These editions are beautiful though rarely cheap.
Orchestral Parts
Similar to a wind set, this is a collection of parts. In the case of strings, the numbers listed are the number of copies included, though generally these are available individually (often with minimum quantities required).
Paperback
When publishers offer multiple bindings (e.g. hardcover) or study scores, this is the "standard" version. If you're planning to play the music, this is probably what you want.
Performance / Playing Score
For chamber pieces, playing scores have all of the parts on one system. There are not separate parts for each player.
Score (Full Score)
For ensemble music, this indicates that the edition contains all parts on a single system (there are not separate parts for each player). In larger ensembles, this is for the conductor.
