Folk. 12 pages. Peet du Toit #999897. Published by Peet du Toit (A0.1418335). Josef Franz Wagner (20 March 1856 – 5 June 1908) was an Austrian military bandmaster and composer. He is sometimes known by the sobriquet The Austrian March King.He is best known for his 1893 march Unter dem Doppeladler or Under the Double Eagle, referring to the double eagle in the coat of arms of Austria-Hungary. The march became a favourite part of the repertoire of American composer and bandleader John Philip Sousa, whose band recorded it three times. The piece was the official regimental march of the Austrian Artillery Regiment Number 2 till its dissolution in 2007.The tune was parodied in the Benny Goodman recording Benjie's Bubble, and was also used for the well-known Monty Python's Flying Circus animation segment Conrad Poohs And His Dancing Teeth. The first part of the march is used in the 1992 computer game Great Naval Battles: North Atlantic 1939-1943 when Germany is selected in the gameplay.Wagner is also known for the Holzhackerbuam, also known as the Jolly Lumberjack Polka. In 1895, his only opera, Der Herzbub, premiered in Vienna.(Source: Military Wiki / Fandom).

Jörg Widmann paraphrases Mendelssohn's famous wedding march from the Midsummer Night's Dream solo in this piece for violin solo. The paraphrase was actually written for a wedding that took place in Rome in 2016 and for which Jörg Widmann's sister, Carolin Widmann, performed the work for the first time.

Schott Music - Digital #Q18766. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q18766). It was at the suggestion of the conductor of the World Première, Mariss Jansons, that Jörg Widmann refers to musical characteristics of Beethoven’s 7th and 8th Symphony. His starting points primarily are specific fast types of movement in the Beethoven works which he translates into his tonal language. Widmann has chosen the same instrumentation as the Beethoven symphonies and takes on the task of causing a similar ‘stir and rhythmic pressure’ (Widmann) with these economical means.

Duration 27 minutes. Schott Music - Digital #Q20006. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q20006). Jörg Widmann treats the violon at first as a vocal instrument, just in the tradition of the great violin concertos of the 19th century through to Alban Berg. But from the cantabile lines, often written 'sul tasto' and 'flautando', emerges again and again a virtuosity which is just as important to the genre and which, based on contemporary playing techniques, causes enticing problems for every player. As the orchestra is reduced to a demanding, yet rather accompanying function during the almost 30 minutes' duration, the piano reduction, already tried in Hamburg by the world premiere performer Christian Tetzlaff with Jörg Widmann on the piano, offers more than ever an opportunity for concert performances off the major stages.2 (2. auch Picc.) · 2 (2. auch Engl.

Schott Music - Digital #Q50447. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q50447). As a clarinetist frequently performing with string quartets, the clarinet quintet is a strange omission from Jörg Widmann’s catalogue of works. Up until now, his quintet programmes have included works primarily by Mozart, Brahms, Weber, and – in slightly altered or extended instrumentation – Messiaen’s Quatuor pour la fin du temps, alongside Widmann’s own sextet Fieberfantasie. This gap in his oeuvre is now finally filled with his first Clarinet Quintet which is sure to become a regular part of chamber music repertoire in the future.

Jörg Widmann dedicated 'Freie Stücke' to his teacher Wolfgang Rihm on his fiftieth birthday in 2002. The ten pieces for mixed ensemble or orchestra are 'inspired by the wish for concentration and reduction. Each piece focusses on one sound phenomenon (pulse, shaking ground, noise, monophony, overtone structures, etc.). All parts are locked together, however. The ending of each piece is the beginning of the next one. Thus, something disparate becomes something continuously narrated.' (Jörg Widmann)2 (2. auch Picc.) · 1 (auch Engl.

Downloadable, Piano reduction with solo part. Duration 22 minutes. Schott Music - Digital #Q25027. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q25027). This ‚Suite’ is not one of my ‘epic’ instrumental concertos such as the concertos for cello, violin or oboe, but a substantially smaller-structured series of dance forms arranged into a suite. Sunken worlds suddenly emerge here, only to reach the surface, hover in dangerously distorted fashion and then sink back to the bottom. Almost every individual movement allots the solo flute a specific tonal colouring and an instrumental group from the orchestra: in the opening Allemande, the flutes of the orchestra (including alto and bass flute and later also piccolo to include the entire flute family); the string section in the Sarabande; in both chorales (extremely muted in the first and brutalist in the second), the brass etc.; and it is only in the concluding Badinerie that all orchestral groups are combined, although they are terraced in the Baroque style, one following another, seldom all playing simultaneously. This permits the flute to remain the provider of all impulses; it attaches itself to the wide variety of instrumental colours, becomes suffused with these colours and thereby shines in different lights – acerbic, pale and radiant. This first performance marks the conclusion of my two-year residence with the Cleveland Orchestra. The immense versatility of this fine body of sound (which is indeed treated as such with the sum of its parts) and the exciting dark timbre of its principal flautist Joshua Smith have to a great extent determined the form and tonal character of my Flûte en suite.

String quartet - difficult - Digital Download SKU: S9.Q778767 String Quartet No. 6. Composed by Joerg Widmann. Downloadable, Score and parts. Duration 27 minutes. Schott Music - Digital #Q778767. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q778767). My quartets composed between 1997 and 2005 were conceived as an interconnected, self-contained cycle of works ranging from the (in my opinion) quasi revolutionary Quartet No. 1 to the Quartet No. 5 entitled Versuch über die Fuge [Attempt at a Fugue]. The Quartet No. 6 – Study on Beethoven – composed fourteen years after No. 5 should be conceived as a new approach and the commencement of a new quartet cycle with an unknown ending. All that can be said is that the subsequent quartets will be devoted to an intense study of Ludwig van Beethoven’s unique and consummate artistry of quartet composition. Despite a reverence for Beethoven at a very early stage, my own compositions have steered well clear of this unapproachable cosmos with the exception of my concert overture Con brio. The perhaps only link with the five quartets of the first cycle of quartets is the single-movement structure of the thirty-minute Quartet No. 6. The fundamental coordinates have otherwise been reset to zero. This is therefore also a ‘study’ in a literal sense. In the Quartet No. 6, I set out with a state of tonality displaying significant extensions whose centrifugal forces are barely containable. My focus is the detection of the inherent gravitation of tonality, including phenomenons such as tension/relaxation, suspension/resolution and fixation/deviation. From a formal aspect, the work is too experimental and unsentimental for explorations in a nostalgic-romantic sense. On the contrary, tonality or at least its fundamental assumptions are initially set down in the sense of a study or test assembly in order to permit subsequent experimentation, variation and the formulation of exceptions with the desire and firm conviction that it is possible to express something innovative and never previously heard with this seemingly exhausted fundamental material. I have been repeatedly astonished by the unfolding in the progression of this piece which has taken me to unknown locations, especially from a formal aspect. I am fascinated to see what forms the subsequent quartets in this ‘Beethoven study’ cycle will lead me to. The Quartet No. 6 has been created in close artistic and friendly cooperation with Anne-Sophie Mutter and she is the dedicatee of this work. Jörg Widmann, July 2019My quartets composed between 1997 and 2005 were conceived as an interconnected, self-contained cycle of works. The Quartet No. 6 composed fourteen years after No. 5 now opens a new cycle of quartets which will be devoted to an intense study of Ludwig van Beethoven’s unique and consummate artistry of quartet composition. Perhaps the only link with the five quartets of the first cycle is the single-movement structure of the almost thirty- minute Quartet No. 6. I am fascinated to see what forms the subsequent quartets in this ‘Beethoven study’ cycle will lead me to. Jörg Widmann.
