String Quintets op. 18 and 87-The genesis of Mendelssohn?s String quintets is closely connected to his friend Eduard Rietz and the latter?s brother Julius. Deeply affected by Eduard?s death in 1832 Mendelssohn exchanged the ?Minuetto?movement in his A major Quintet Op. 18 written six years previously for a newly composed adagio. It was in this form that the work was finally sent to the publisher. The Quintet in B flat major was onlypublished after Mendelssohn?s death; numerous unauthorized entries by Julius Rietz thus found their way into performance practice. An examination of the autograph allowed us to return the work to its original form thecommentary contains detailed information on this.

Par SCHUBERT FRANZ. Aucun amateur de musique ne peut se soustraire à la force expressive de cette oeuvre écrite par Schubert dans la dernière année de sa vie. Avec l’extraordinaire puissance des 1er et dernier mouvements, le caractère mélodieux, intime de l’«adagio», mais aussi le coloris exceptionnel de sa palette sonore, ce quintette est unique en son genre: à la formation instrumentale classique du quatuor à cordes vient s’ajouter un second violoncelle, qui occupe un rôle majeur dans le développement mélodique. Egon Voss, l’éditeur responsable de ce nouveau Urtext publié par Henle, rend non seulement compte scrupuleusement d’un état des sources passablement complexe, mais il ne néglige pas nonplus les exigences de la pratique musicale, proposant notamment de nouvelles solutions convaincantes pour les changements de page difficiles. ? / Partition brochée / Date parution : 1905-06-27/ Répertoire / Quintette à Cordes
