Max Christian Friedrich Bruch (Cologne, January 6, 1838 – Friedenau, October 20, 1920) was a German composer and conductor who wrote over 200 works, including three symphonies that are rarely performed, and three violin concertos, one of which is a staple of the violin repertoire. He received his early musical training in Cologne under the composer and pianist Ferdinand Hiller, to whom Robert Schumann dedicated his piano concerto. Ignaz Moscheles recognized his aptitude. He had a long career as a teacher, conductor and composer, moving among musical posts in Germany: Mannheim (1862-1864), Koblenz (1865-1867), Sondershausen, (1867-1870) Berlin (1870-1872), Bonn, where he spent 1873 -1878 working privately. At the height of his reputation he spent three seasons as conductor of the Liverpool Philharmonic Society (1880-83). He taught composition at the Berlin Hochschule für Musik (the Berlin Conservatoire) from 1890 until his retirement in 1910.
His conservatively structured works in the German romantic musical tradition, placed him in the camp of Romantic classicism exemplified by Johannes Brahms, rather than the opposing 'New Music' of Franz Liszt and Richard Wagner. In his time, he was known primarily as a choral composer. (Hide extended text) ... (Read all)

Interest : Skill level : deux problèmes:
c'est écrit pour une
clarinette en La; il faudrait
le mentionner sur le
catalogue; et peut-être que
des transcriptions de ce
superbe trio ont été faites
pour clarinette siB. Dans ce
cas, cela serait bien de la
diffuser.
2. la partition ne contient
aucun signe de nuance; pour
une partition romantique,
c'est curieux, et très gênant.
