Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. The Fifteen Variations (with Fugue) op. 35 composed in 1802 are known primarily by their sobriquet “ Eroica Variations ” because the theme is also used in the finale of the Third Symphony. Together with its sister work, opus 34, this composition marks the breakthrough of character variations. Not without pride did the composer stress to his publisher that both works were …

Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. Replaces HN 21. First conceived in 1803/04 as the slow movement of the Piano Sonata in C major op. 53 (the Waldstein” Sonata), the Andante turned out too long in Beethoven’s view and was replaced. Beethoven had it published as a standalone movement, presumably in 1805. The movement, marked Grazioso con moto,” is characterised by a large variety of compositional techniques…

Piano reduction. Par VANHAL JOHANN BAPTIST. Following Dittersdorf (HN 759) and Hoffmeister (HN 721), Johann Baptist Vanhal and his sole double-bass concerto add a further highlight to the classical bass literature in our catalogue. The virtuoso work was transmitted only in a copy of a part owned by the famous double-bass player Johannes Sperger (1750-1812) and found in his estate, which raises a f…

Oratorio in three acts. Par HAENDEL GEORG FRIEDRICH. Handel composed Samson directly after completing the 'Messiah'. After its premiere in 1743 in the Covent Garden Theatre in London, the work rapidly became one of the composer's most successful oratorios alongside 'Esther' and 'Judas Maccabaeus'. This probably had as much to do with the popular Old Testament story of the libretto as with Handel's…

Par VANHAL JOHANN BAPTIST. The unbroken popularity of Vanhal's sole double bass concerto in competitions and for practice and concert purposes is reason enough for us to publish the work in Breitkopf Urtext. The new edition profits from Tobias Glöckler's experience of many years. As with the other great double-bass concertos of the classical Viennese repertoire (Dittersdorf, Hoffmeister), Glöckler…
