Par SUK JOSEF. First scholarly-critical edition The single-movement String Quartet #2 by Josef Suk (1874-1935) was written at the height of his compositional powers. Completed in Krecovice in May 1911, this demanding work, with its complex harmonies and motivic structure, seemed avant-garde for its day: the Berlin premiere of November 1912 was accompanied by protests from the audience. Now Zdenek Nouza has edited the first scholarly-critical edition of this piece. The principal source is the first edition in full score, published by Simrock in Berlin. But Nouza has also consulted the printed parts (containing additions of great interest to performers) as well as the engraver's copy used for the printed score (with autograph corrections from the composer) and additional sources such as sketches. - First Urtext edition - Foreword (Cz/Ger/Eng) and Critical Commentary (Eng) by the editor/ Répertoire / Conducteur de Poche

Study Score. Par SUK JOSEF. La durée de vie de Josef Suk (1874-1935), le célèbre compositeur et violoniste professionnel, a été fortement influencé par son appartenance à la célèbre 'Quatuor tchèque' (fondée en 1892). Suk faisait partie du quatuor jusqu'en 1933, se produisant dans près de quatre mille concerts. Le Quatuor à cordes n o 1 en si bémol majeur op. 11 (1896) est la première composition aux côtés de l'op Serenade. 6, qui a été publié par Simrock à la suite de la médiation par Suk père-frère, Antonín Dvorák. Dvorák a examiné ce travail du jeune musicien à être 'le meilleur que je connaisse de lui.' Suk a réécrit le quatrième mouvement, vingt ans après son achèvement, parce qu'il n'était pas satisfait de la version originale. En dépit de son utilisation du même matériau thématique, la nouvelle version se distingue donc nettement que ce mouvement est souvent effectué sur lui-même. La principale source de la forme originale du quatuor était la deuxième édition de Simrock. Pour la version alternative de la Finale de la présente édition est basée sur une partition et les parties marquées avec des corrections Suk. - Avec une préface commentaires (Cz / Eng / Ger) et critique (Eng) - Comprend également la dernière version du quatrième mouvement de 1915/ Répertoire / 3 Violons, Alto et Violoncelle

Josef Suk (1824-1935) était un peu dans l'ombre des deux compositeurs tchèques célèbre Antonin Dvorak et Smetana. Cette Suk affecté surtout parce que Dvo?ák était aussi son beau-père, belle-mère, ce qui a fait son émancipation artistique d'autant plus difficile. Après la mort de Dvo?ák, cependant, il a rapidement réussi à trouver son propre langage musical et va son chemin en tant que musicien. Josef Suk, comme son petit-fils récemment décédé du même nom, était aussi un violoniste, travaillant en particulier comme second violon du Quatuor à cordes tchèque fondée en 1891. Il a écrit, sûrement pour son usage personnel, '4 pièces pour violon et piano op. 17 Publié en 1900 - une musique très romantique épicée avec des sons de Bohême. Pièces de performance passionnante qui sont enrichissants pour les deux instrumentistes. / Violon Et Piano

C'est cependant la première édition savante critique de cet ouvrage. Il est basé en grande partie sur une révision de la première édition qui contient les modifications de 1914 à Suk et est apparu en 1924, le premier exemplaire ainsi que sur les copies nouvellement découverts des pièces. Des informations précieuses ont également été extraites des pièces imprimées que les originaux sont aujourd'hui n'existe plus.
