Tonalité : C-Dur -. Par RICHTER FRANZ XAVER. It may assumed that this Mass dates from the earlier part of Richter's career. The scoring is relatively light, and in its overall dimensions the C major Mass belongs to the category of the missa brevis rather than that of the cantata mass such as Richter often composed. / Messe / Répertoire / Solistes SATB, Choeur SATB, 2 Hautbois, 2 Violons,

to the Concerto for Trumpet and Orchestra Eb major by Joseph Haydn. Par PENDERECKI KRZYSZTOF. In the late classical period composers began to want to determine every note in the cadenzas of solo concertos, rather than leaving this as a matter for the soloist’s virtuoso inspiration. Penderecki’s cadenzas for Haydn’s celebrated trumpet concerto are written in this tradition, but the creative will of…

Par PROKOFIEV SERGEI. An impelling and moving Sonata for Two Violins by Ukranian composer Sergie Prokofiev. The four short movements are lyrical, playful, fantastic and violent, all striking themes. The warmer style and highly effective sequence mirrors Prokofiev's condition at the time of composition: after his travels to the West away from Russia, his work became increasingly more embracing rath…

op. 26. Par WELLESZ EGON. Egon Wellesz?s ?Six Piano Pieces? op. 26, six rather short character pieces, are written entirely in the spirit of the atonal works of the Schoenberg School.

Works of fiction in this style are most often set in the 19th century British Victorian era or the American Wild West. Machines and technology found in the works of Jules Verne and H.G. Wells would be good examples of steampunk-style inventions. The piece itself follows no specific narrative, but rathe…

Canaanite Fantasy No. 3. Par LEEF YINAM. Similiar to its two sister-works, ELEGY looks back to the past and to ancient musical colors and ideals, combining musical ornamentations of nature within contemporary Western modes of expression. The composer accounts that 'the most interesting and attractive challenge for me was to try to relate to the special characteristics of the harpsichord - its rath…
