Beethoven's Symphony No. 4 In B Flat Op. 60 was composed in 1806 a very productive year for the composer during which he wrote numerous other great works such as the 4th Piano Concerto and theViolin Concerto. Today this work is unjustly overshadowed by its famous neighbours the ?Eroica? and the 5th Symphony although it was one of Beethoven?s best-loved and most often performed works throughout the19th century. The Henle Urtext edition features a preface by the editor Bathia Churgin. This edition is based on the musical text of the Beethoven Complete Edition and continues the series of study editions ofBeethoven symphonies in a convenient format.

String Quartet F major op. 135-Beethoven’s Op. 135 one of the last works he composed is equally famous for its compositional clarity and for the inadequacy of previous editions. The problem lies in the surviving sources forBeethoven’s autograph score contains a great many contradictions compared to his autograph set of parts. In 1827 after Beethoven’s death the German publisher of the first edition posthumously ironed out thesediscrepancies as he saw fit and later editions simply adopted his interventions. Rainer Cadenbach’s volume is the first attempt to produce an authoritative text for Op. 135. Beethoven’s contradictoryformulations are laid bare allowing musicians to make their own decisions. This ambitious new edition also finds room for ideal page turns.

Mozart faisait bien sûr figure de grand maîtrepour le genre ' concerto pour piano ' lorsqueLudwig van Beethoven composa sa premièreoeuvre (si bémol majeur op. 19) à Bonn. En1793, le jeune compositeur écrivit donc toutd'abord un rondo final comportant un andante,suivant l'exemple de Mozart dans sonconcerto KV 482. Puis Beethoven opta pourun autre final et remisa la partition du rondoen si bémol majeur dans un tiroir. L'oeuvre nefut retrouvée qu'après la mort du compositeuret immédiatement publiée. L'autographereprésente donc la partition pour orchestre deBeethoven la plus ancienne qui nous soit parvenueintacte et entière. La nouvelle éditionUrtext du conducteur et des parties d'orchestrese base sur le volume de la nouvelle intégraleparue en 2003. / Piano Et Orchestre

Both of these works for two oboes and cor anglais which Beethoven composed in the 1790s belong to the lighter genre of serenades and divertimentos. He might have written them in response to a commission or have been inspired bythe prevailing popularity of this delicate combination of instruments.Likewise with the Variations WoO 28 on the famous theme 'La ci darem la mano' by Mozart he made a contribution of his own to the arrangements ofoperatic melodies for wind ensembles that were so popular at the time.This Urtext edition follows the recently published volume in the Beethoven Complete Edition and thus reflects the latest scholarly research onBeethoven.

?His present pieces must convince both connoisseurs and others alike of the unbiased opinion that Beethoven will in time become one of the greatest composers in Europe? thus wrote Joseph Haydn when informing the Electorin Bonn on the progress of his pupil in 1793. However the elector replied that he was already familiar with parts of the Parthia Op. 103 that had been sent as evidence of the composer?s progress.Beethoven had apparently only reworked an earlier composition. Nevertheless we must agree with Haydn: the Parthia and the Rondo WoO 25 that was originally intended as the final movement provide wonderful evidence ofBeethoven?s great skill. This Urtext edition also contains additional parts for Horns in F.
