from String Quartet No.1 Op.11. Par TCHAIKOVSKY PYOTR ILYICH / NICHOLAS ELLIS(Arr.). The slow movement of Tchaikovsky’s First String Quartet is one of his most cherished melodies. Inspired by a Russian folk tune he had heard sung by a house servant, the Andante Cantabile combines heartfelt simplicity with the composer’s gift for lyrical expansion. The movement soon took on a life of its own, admir…

Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. Replaces HN 21. First conceived in 1803/04 as the slow movement of the Piano Sonata in C major op. 53 (the Waldstein” Sonata), the Andante turned out too long in Beethoven’s view and was replaced.

Murata performed music for audiences primarily as a leader and conductor o…

Par WIENIAWSKI / KAMASA. In addition to the numerous violin pieces in H. Wieniawski's compositional output there is only one piee for viola and piano, ''Reverie'', which is without opus number. The ''Dream'' ost probably comes from that period when Wieniawski stayed in London (1858-1859) and, apart from his regular concert activities, took part in chamber concerts, which were very popular at that …

Wq 217. Par BACH CARL PHILIPP EMMANUEL. His Heilig Wq 217 is just 6 minutes long. Bach, however, put all his art into these few minutes, as he himself wrote to his publisher: „ Here I have proved the most daring and hard work . . .
