Par ROSSINI GIOACHINO. Taken from Bärenreiter’s first volume in the “Works of Gioachino Rossini”, this brilliant chamber music composition for winds belongs to a little known genre of Rossini ’s output. “ Andante, e Tema con Variazioni ” was allegedly written in Bologna in 1812. Rossini deftly sculpts the theme to fit each instrument i. e. all players take their turn with the tuneful theme. This p…

Par SCHUBERT FRANZ. The series of symphonies in the New Schubert Edition is a milestone of modern scholarly-critical editing, lending these works a transparency lacking in earlier editions of a more romantic bent. The eight symphonies trace Schubert 's artistic evolution from the First Symphony, which develops a theme from Beethoven's Eroica, to the Mozartean Fifth and the romanticism of the 'Grea…
