- Ton de Leeuw, 1926-1996
Ton de Leeuw
In 2010 Music Center the Netherlands has published the complete works for piano solo by Ton de Leeuw (1926-1996) in two volumes of sheet music with a compact disc. Some of these compositions by De Leeuw are published for the first time; other works are reissued in a modern, critical edition.
With this piano collection MCN outlines a unique historical forty-five years' perspective of piano music by one of the most influential 20th century Dutch composers. This edition comes with a cd pianist René Eckhardt recorded specifically for this project.
The formal presentation took place in the Rotterdam Doelen Hall during the event 'Licht op de Leeuw' [Light on de Leeuw]', on January 9, 2010, where in addition to piano music focus was given to de Leeuw’s electronic, choral and organ music.
