String Quartet String Quartet - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1086048 Composed by Chevalier de Saint-Georges. Arranged by Artaria Editions. Classical. Score and parts. 54 pages. Artaria Editions #690244. Published by Artaria Editions (A0.1086048). For string quartet Score Artaria Editions AE431 Edited by Allan Badley 48 pages This is a scholarly edition of a public domain work. The string quartet holds pride of place in Bologne de Saint-Georges instrumental works, with three sets of six works each. With neat but surely unintentional symmetry these quartets include his first and last instrumental works, the Six quatuors à cordes, Op.1, and the Six Quatuors concertans, Op.15. The present quartets fall midway between these two publications. Composed in 1777 (according to Gabriel Banat, the best and most recent of Saint-Georges’ biographers) the Six Quartetto concertans were issued two years later in a breathtakingly inaccurate edition by Durieu in Paris. Given the unusually high number of errors and inconsistencies in Durieu’s edition it seems most unlikely that Saint-Georges was involved in its preparation. No other edition of the quartets is known although a second printing of the set using the same plates was made ca 1782. Quartet I in Bb major Quartet II in G minor Quartet III in C major Quartet IV in F major Quartet V in G major Quartet VI in Bb major.

String Quartet String Quartet - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1086584 Composed by George Butterworth. Arranged by Artaria Editions. Classical. Score and parts. 28 pages. Artaria Editions #690787. Published by Artaria Editions (A0.1086584). For string quartet Artaria Editions AE212 Edited by Robert Hoskins 28 pages This is a scholarly edition of a public domain work. The Suite for String Quartet was probably written when Butterworth was a student of Wood at the Royal College of Music in 1910-11 but there is no record of any performance during the composer's lifetime. This is the only one of Butterworth's instrumental works with a multi-movement structure and, perhaps coincidentally, the only one not reliant on tone poetry.
