Serenade für 13 Instrumente. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. An announcement in the Wiener-Zeitung read: “Concert. Today [23 March 1784] Herr [Anton] Stadler Sr. , presently in the service of His Majesty the Emperor, will hold a concert for his own benefit at the Royal Imperial National Court Theatre in which, among other select pieces, he will present a grand work for wind-band of a quite special ch…

Fassung Ii. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. The St. John Passion ranks alongside the St. Matthew Passion, the Christmas Oratorio, the Magnificat and the B minor Mass as one of the great vocal works from Johann Sebastian Bach’s Leipzig years. In contrast to his other large-scale choral works, however, Bach never gave this work a definitive final form. Rather, for every performance he substantially revis…

It is a bit of a paradox: one of Dragonetti's showpiece, 'The Famous Solo?, originally for double bass and orchestra, is largely unknown today. This cannot be down to the virtuoso work itself, but is more likely due to the unclear source situation with its different versions. In this edition Tobias Glöckler presents Dragonetti's autograph arrangement for double bass and string quartet for the firs…

Par BOGUNIA ADAM. As a tuba teacher in primary and secondary schools of music and a lecturer on the Instrumental Department of Cracow Academy of Music for many years, I have encountered considerable difficulty in acquiring sheet music for this instrument. Hence I have prepared my own exercises, studies and arrangements suitable for teaching the tuba to pupils and students. Some of that material is…

Oratorienfragment. Teil I: Die Geburt Christi - Teil Ii: Das Leiden Christi. Par MENDELSSOHN-BARTHOLDY FELIX. Mendelssohns unfinished 3rd oratorio in its first critical edition. The parts 'Die Geburt Christi' and 'Das Leiden Christi' are presented with full orchestration. In 1852, five years after Mendelsohn’s death, two independently-performable fragments of an unfinished oratorio were published …

Par LEWIS GEORGE. Although his Signifying Riffs (1998) for percussion and strings is halfway there, String Quartet 1.5: Experiments in Living (2016) is the first proper string quartet by composer George Lewis. Borrowing its title from the writings of John Stuart Mill, Experiments in Living leads the performers through a series of idiosyncratic episodes featuring extremes of gesture and extended te…

Par HUMMEL BERTOLD. As an educational and recital piece, Bertold Hummel's Sonatina Op. 35, composed in 1969, has accompanied many a young musician following his or her own path. Having sold a thousand times all over the world, it is one of the composer's best-known works and has been included in the repertoire list for the 'Jugend musiziert' competition by the German Music Council. The three movem…

Missa aulica. Par BRIXI FRANTISEK XAVER. Brixi came from a widespread family of Bohemian musicians which included composers whose works were well known among rural communities. The present edition of this short mass [known as the “Missa aulica”], which is published here for the first time, is a typical example of this type of music: scored for a small ensemble, which makes only modest demands of t…

The edition is the second part of the commissioned work Our Lady's Minstrel. The through-composed music of Three Poems takes up verses from the English translation of Le Jongleur de Notre-Dame, a tale from medieval France. The piece Prelude and Dance for clarinet and organ (ED 22298) is the first part of the whole work and separately available. / Soprano Et Orgue

Tragic. 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 t…
