Arrangeur: Hartmut Schick. Par DVORAK ANTONIN. When Antonín Dvorák started composing his String Quartet No. 10 in late 1878, none of his quartets had yet been performed. However this new work, deliberately cast in the 'Slavonic” style, quickly achieved international renown and has remained among one of the most popular string quartets by Dvorák. The authoritative Dvorák scholar Hartmut Schick has…

Par MARTINU BOHUSLAV. Unusual instrumentations were by no means the exception in the chamber music works of Bohuslav Martinu, most notably the works he wrote in Paris in the 1920s and 1930s being characterised by his experimentation with sound and form. It is from this period that four short serenades also originate (1932), each with a different instrumentation. The serenades were issued by the Pr…

for Harpsichord and Strings. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. In early 1729 Bach became director of the so-called 'Scottish Collegium Musician' a music organization of students and local citizens. The remarkable results of this undertaking are the concertos for harpsichord. Today it is almost certain that practically all of these concertos were transcribed from concertos for melody instruments (mostly v…

Offertorium In Festo Sti Benedicti. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. Since the autograph of the offertory 'Scande coeli limina' KV 34 has not survived, the discovery of the oldest existing copy of the parts in 1998 in the archives of the Holy Chapel in Altötting were a significant contribution to the preservation of this work. Robert Münster discovered the parts, the new source upon which the present …

dalla Sonata prima a Violino Solo senza Basso. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. For this transcription the author used a photographic copy of the autograph manuscript of Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin (BWV 1001-1006) by Johann Sebastian Bach, dated 1720 and kept in the Staatbibliothek Preussicher Kulturbesits, Berlin. The adjustments to the original text mainly concern: harmonic enrichments sugges…

Chiemsee-Messe. Par HAYDN JOHANN MICHAEL. Among Haydn’s over thirty settings of the Latin Ordinary, the Missa in honorem Sanctae Ursula occupies an outstanding position, which, according to the autograph, was completed on 5 August 1793. This Mass has been referred to as the most “Mozartian” of all his masses. With its song-like melodic character, the unity of the motivic material and the harmonius…

This edition contains all of Janácek's works for violin and piano:the Sonata as well as the 'Romance and Dumka?, composed while he was still a student.Though probably written as early as 1914, Janácek's Sonata for Violin and Piano was revised several times before finally appearing in a definitive version in 1922.This new edition of the Sonata and the 'Romance? is based on the 'Complete Critical Ed…

Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Version of 1736 (final version) Bach 's St. Matthew Passion passed through several stages in its progress towards its final form, stages that today cannot be completely reconstructed. It may be taken as certain that the work was performed on Good Friday 1729 in St. Thomas's Church, Leipzig, in a version of which the copy made by Bach 's son-in-law Johann Christoph Altnic…

Par SUK JOSEF. First scholarly-critical edition The single-movement String Quartet #2 by Josef Suk (1874-1935) was written at the height of his compositional powers. Completed in Krecovice in May 1911, this demanding work, with its complex harmonies and motivic structure, seemed avant-garde for its day: the Berlin premiere of November 1912 was accompanied by protests from the audience. Now Zdene…

The quartet in a minor is one of the chamber music works with which Schubert wanted to 'pave the way to the great symphony? in spring 1824. At the same time he was paving his way to a wider audience, as the 'Rosamunde? Quartet was the first and only string quartet that was not only publicly performed in Schubert's lifetime but also published in parts. It is fortunate for us that this was the case …
