COMPLETELY REVISED EDITION - Miniatures for piano - by Lodewijk Mortelmans
Publication : Metropolis Music Publishers
The Mortelmans Foundation wishes to extend a heartfelt thank you to Jozef de Beenhouwer and Christa Steenhuyse-Vandevelde for their incredible commitment and dedication.
Together they have brought this revision to a high-quality result.
The Miniatures are a collection of 31 short piano pieces composed by Mortelmans between 1929 and 1947.
Towards the end of his life, he had them published in three volumes (II and III from 1949) by the Antwerp publisher Metropolis (Old House G. Prop).
These editions are used as the main source because they were probably verified by Mortelmans himself.
It was possible to find out exactly where and when almost all these pieces were written, thanks to information in these old editions and in extant signatures.
These signatures also made it possible to correct some errors in the old editions.
Moreover, some of them also contain different phrasing, different tempo indications and different titles, which have not been reproduced in this reissue.
There are also autographs that provide several Miniatures with French-language titles, which are identical to those in the old editions and can therefore
be considered authentic. This new edition has been completely re-engraved to modern standards. The edition has been revised by
Jozef De Beenhouwer and Christa Steenhuyse-Vandevelde, both experts in the repertoire of Lodewijk Mortelmans.
80 pages, including introduction, source references and commentary.

EXHIBITION 75 YEARS ENSOR
Rose, Rose, Rose à mes yeux.
James Ensor and still life in Belgium from 1830 to 1930. 1930.
Organisation : Museum Muzee Oostende
The Mortelmans Foundation is providing eight works by Frans Mortelmans to MuZee for the time of this event.
.. This exhibition concentrates entirely on James Ensor's still lifes for the first time.
Some fifty works from Ensor's important output in this field - from the first bourgeois examples over the 'haunted' still lifes of the 1890s to the ethereal,
dreamy examples of the late period - serve as the backbone and calibration for an overview of still life in Belgium between 1830 and 1930.
Several talented painters in this century seek how to recharge the genre, which had degenerated into a showy, decorative genre devoid of artistic commitment,
both pictorially and iconographically. Ensor here simultaneously illustrates general development, and his own exceptional quality
..
.. The exhibition offers an overview of the 19th-century academic decorative tradition from Antoine Wiertz to Frans Mortelmans,
featuring many forgotten, yet skilled and highly successful painters such as
Jean Robie, Hubert Bellis, Alice Ronner, Georgette Meunier, Henri De Braekeleer.
This is followed by a selection of painters such as
Louis Thevenet, Léon De Smet, Leon Spilliaert, Gustave Van de Woestyne, Frits Van den Berghe, Marthe Donas, Walter Vaes, Jean Brusselmans, René Magritte
..
.. For the exhibition, cooperation has already been promised by the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Antwerp and Brussels, the Museum of Fine Arts of Ghent,
several Belgian city museums, as well as numerous private collectors whose work is often very scarce in public collections.
Further loans are expected from Dutch, German and American museums and private collections.
The exhibition will also be accompanied by a publication containing, in addition to the catalogue of works on display, contributions on the significance
of still life in the oeuvre of James Ensor and the history of still life in Belgium
