Par SCHUMANN ROBERT. 'Andante and Variations op. 46 Anh. for 2 pianos, 2 celli and horn': even in Schumann's collected works, one finds such an unusual scoring only once. No wonder the piece was initially left unprinted and only first released as a posthumous work. Schumann's widow Clara and Johannes Brahms apparently fervently believed in the piece and organized a posthumous world premiere with f…

Schubert's operas contain a wealth of magnificent music. This anthology of opera arias for baritone with piano accompaniment presents a delightful selection from Des Teufels Lustschloss D 84, Adrast D 137, Die Freunde von Salamanka D 326, Alfonso und Estrella D 732, and Fierabras D 796. An enclosed violoncello part for the aria 'Wo find ich nur den Ort, mein Haupt zur Ruh zu legen? (Alfonso und Es…

Archduke. Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. By the time Beethoven completed the ?Archduke? Trio in 1811 he had been working on it for several years. In April 1814 he could finally give the work its première together with Ignaz Schuppanzigh and Joseph Linke, this being Beethoven?s last public appearance as a pianist. He dedicated the piece to his friend, pupil and patron, Archduke Rudolph of Austria. Today…

In 1887 Antonin Dvorak revised several of the works he had composed in the 1860s and 1870s, most of which he then published for the first time. In this context he asked the music critic Ludevit Prochazka to return a manuscript copy of the Piano Quintet in A major op. 5 (B 28), composed 15 years earlier. But after thoroughly revising the work he declined to publish it - instead, he wrote a new pian…

Par MAHLER GUSTAV. The Song of the Earth , composed in the summer of 1908, is Mahler’s best-known and most personal work. Reflecting drastic changes in his life, its immense emotional density is very moving. Until the very end, Mahler continued to refine the extremely differentiated instrumentation, as is evident in numerous retouchings in the autograph score and engraver’s model. It is therefore …

This new, completely revised edition of Poudre d'or is based on Robert Orledge's critical edition of Satie's works for piano (in 3 volumes - catalogue numbers: SLB 5960 - SLB 5961 - SLB 5962). Orledge's work has returned to Satie's manuscripts and first editions to give pianists completely accurate and reliable texts to play from. / Piano

The quartet in a minor is one of the chamber music works with which Schubert wanted to 'pave the way to the great symphony? in spring 1824. At the same time he was paving his way to a wider audience, as the 'Rosamunde? Quartet was the first and only string quartet that was not only publicly performed in Schubert's lifetime but also published in parts. It is fortunate for us that this was the case …

à 26 in concerto. Par BIBER HEINRICH IGNAZ FRANZ. This first edition of a mass by Biber offers a new glimpse of the colourful and contrastful world of the Baroque. Since the publication of his 'Missa Salisburgensis' in 1903, no mass with this kind of many-voice scoring has appeared in print. This edition not only enriches the multi-choir repertoire, but also is an important contribution to study o…

The twelve Capricci op. 25 by the cello virtuoso and composer Alfredo Piatti, who performed with the likes of Liszt and Mendelssohn Bartholdy, are a must for all advanced cello players.
