I: 93-104). It thus belongs to the last symphonies he wrote before his journeys to England in 1791-92 and 1794-95. Continuing the collaboration between Barenreiter and the G.

Par YE XIAOGANG. 'Datura was commissioned by Accessible Contemporary Music and was written in a unique way. I composed the piece in installments over the summer of 2006 and emailed them to Seth Boustead who forwarded them on to the ensemble. In this unique way of working I was able to have time between each installment to think about what would come next and to get feedback from the performers abo…

Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. These 21 symphonies, composed by Mozart between 1764 and 1771 are astonishing displays of his precocious genius. Reproduced from the authoritative Breitkopf and Hartel Complete Works Edition, they abound in the qualities that characterise his finest works - melodic richness, musical invention and a much imitated but unsurpassed grace. These 21 symphonies, composed by M…

Par SCHWEITZER BENJAMIN. The chiaroscuro-technique developed by painters of the Italian renaissance served to intensify contrasts and effects of optical depth. In Klar/Obskur, I tried to transfer the general idea of this technique on the rather unusual instrumentation of two double-reed woodwinds and piano. On the one hand, a clear, well articulated playing is characteristic for these instruments,…

Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. Beethoven's Sonata in F major op. 54 was written in 1804, just after the highly virtuosic 'Waldstein' Sonata and before the 'Appassionata' Sonata, and has unjustly stood in the shadow of its predecessor and successor ever since. Its two movements are characterized by the friction between traditional form and creative abandon. While the opening movement marked 'In Tempo d'…

Of Noblest Cities is intended for a choir of between 12 and about 40 voices, although it may also be given by just six singers, one to a part (SSATBB). The piece can be performed unaccompanied, if no suitable organ is available, simply by leaving approximately two crotchet beats of silence between the end of the last note of one verse and the beginning of the next. Underlying the melody is a simpl…

In a span of only eight years, between 1794–1802, Beethoven composed twenty Piano sonatas, among them his so-called “Grande Sonate Pathétique” op. 13. It marks the consummation of his Classical style, yet also already alludes to his Heroic Period with its intensely Romantic characteristics. Composed in the “tragic” key of C minor, it fo…
