Cherubini owes his fame as a church composer primarily to the 'Requiem in C minor? of 1817. It was held in extraordinarily high esteem by such composers as Beethoven and Schumann and served as a model for early 19th-century Requiem settings. Dispensing entirely with solo voices, it captivates with its rigorous formal concentration and its restrained use of musical resources in both choir and orche…

 (Par essence encore plus contrainte à la monodie que les Sonates and Partitas pour violon seul et les Suites pour violoncelle seul, l'unique Partita pour flûte seule semble poser au transcripteur pour clavier le problème maximum de l'extrapolation harmonique, Mais comme l'écriture de Bach ne se départit justement jamais de la contingence harmonique, quel que soit le nombre de voix qu'il met en je…

Par CHAUSSON ERNEST. Chausson's 'Piece Op.39', the composer's only work for solo cello, was written during his final years and belongs with the intensity lyrical Poeme for violin and orchestra (1896) and the two quartets (1897 and 1899). Like these more 'classical' late works, 'Piece' derives potency from its restrained lyricism, but is rhythmically unusual with 5/4 and 7/4 the predominant time si…

B-Dur. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. To a greater extent than almost any others, Mozart's Masses combine a very high degree of artistic accomplishment and tonal beauty with fulfilment of the demands made by the Liturgy.

for piano. Par DOBBINS BILL. 'These piano preludes have developed from my longtime love of the music from both the classical and jazz traditions. I have intentionally adopted a format which may or may not include improvisation. This format should serve as a friendly invitation to classically trained pianists. My own improvisations, which can be heard on the recording 'Preludes and Predilections, V…
