Thanks to its imaginative richness and sterling writing, Hoffmeister's Double Bass Concerto No. 1 has advanced to the rank of a popular audition concerto. But when compared with the transmitted sources, the previously available first edition of 1966 proved to be filled with errors. Tobias Glockler, double-bass player of the Dresdner Philharmonie, now presents a reliable Urtext in this edition. Through his competence as an instrumentalist, he even goes considerably further and offers various performance possibilities: the solo part can be played not only in solo and orchestral tuning, but also in the historical Viennese tuning. The C-major version, which is offered on hire, allows performances in orchestral tuning. The orchestral material in D major (sales material) is suited to the other two tunings. A beautiful and easy to read score, elegantly laid-out and with illuminating and informative preface notes. This concerto is among our most beautiful classical concerti, lyrical and inventive. It is a great pleasure to see our classical repertoire appear in such critical editions. (Rob Nairn in Bass World).

Afte r moving to his position at the Dresdner Kreuzkantorat, which meant the end of his career as an organist, Homilius compiled 32 of his Chorale preludes for organ and offered them for sale to be disseminated as handwritten copies. For the first time this collection is published here in its entirety and in the original sequence of the preludes. Homilius shows that on the one hand he was inspired by Johann Sebastian Bach, while on the other he followed his own stylistic paths. Thus, for example, he employs extensively the traditional form of the chorale trio, but treads new territory in the harmonic realm. With this volume those seeking a rewarding enrichment of chorale-based organ music will find what they are looking for.

Justus Johann Friedrich Dotzauer versuchte sich in seiner Kindheit auf verschiedenen Instrumenten und gelangte dann uber den Kontrabass zum Violoncello. Bereits als 16jahriger wurde er in die Hofkapelle Meiningen aufgenommen, und nachdem er seinen letzten Schliff als Virtuose von der Vortragskunst Bernhard Rombergs erhalten hatte, wurde er, 28jahrig, als sachsischer Kammermusiker an die Dresdner Hofkapelle berufen. Als Lehrer hat Dotzauer vorzugliche Cellisten herangebildet; neben Unterrichtswerken schrieb er auch diverse Werke verschiedener Gattungen. Das ,,Quartett fur Fagott und Streichtrio ist dreisatzig angelegt:, einem Allegro in B-dur folgt ein dreiteiliges Andantino in Es-dur mit einem Minore in es-moll; den Abschluss bildet ein lebhaftes Rondo in B-dur.
