Par MENDELSSOHN-BARTHOLDY FELIX. Mendelssohn's contemporaries frequently mentioned his 'Hymn of Praise” in the same breath as Beethoven's Ninth - and often enough viewed it as an imitation. Mendelssohn authority John Michael Cooper, in his extensive Introduction to this new Urtext edition, shows that the comparison is completely unfounded: with this work Mendelssohn created a new genre to which he…

Par VAN DER ROOST JAN. Since most of the bands competing in the 4th Section of the Dutch National Championships have many young players, this piece is stylistically youthful especially in the opening and closing sections. An arpeggio pattern appears numerous times in all registers and is the basic musical element of the main melody, alternating with a second theme that has a slightly different mel…

Par ROELS STIJN. Bellum et Pax is a composition describing the two ancient concepts of ‘war’ and ‘peace. ’ While this piece appears to be one single movement, it consists of four sections that flow into one another. Mysterious and threatening tones lead the way into an epic battle between the chaos of war and enlightenment of peace. Peace triumphs, but menacing bass notes at the end symbolize the …

ré mineur. Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. It owes its much-quoted nickname 'Tempest' to a note by Beethoven's famulus Anton Schindler, whom the composer advised to 'read Shakespeare's Tempest' as a key to the work. But Schindler had also asked for the Sonata op. 57 in the same breath, so that in the end it remained unclear which of the two sonatas was really meant. The preface of the new edition explai…

Composer and violinist János Lavotta (1764-1820), as a member - together with János Bihari and Antal Csermák - of the ''virtuoso trio'' who played a great role in the history of Hungarian music, was one of the pioneers of verbunkos music. Although his violin duos op. 49 must have also been used for playing music at home, they show the composer's clear educational intent, since the fourteen consecu…

Kantate. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. The Vienna Musicians’ Society, a pension fund for the widows and orphans of professional musicians, asked Mozart, among others, to compose a choral work for performance at their benefit concert series. Presumably it was due not just to the pressure of a deadline, but also for the chance to have the music of the torso of the great C minor Mass, K. 427, performe…
