No. 2 In G Major Op. 36. Par BRAHMS JOHANNES. Bien que le premier sextuor à cordes de Brahms ait connu un vif succès depuis sa parution en 1861, l’éditeur Simrock hésita lorsque le compositeur lui en proposa en 1865 un deuxième «dans le même caractère joyeux». Entre temps Brahms s’adressa même à la concurrence avant que Simrock ne finît par consentir à sa publication. Alors que l’oeuvre fit tout d’abord l’objet de comptes rendus plutôt sceptiques, l’opus 36 publié en 1866 trouva en revanche au sein du cercle des amis de Brahms un accueil des plus chaleureux: Clara Schumann fit l’éloge du travail d’élaboration des motifs particulièrement réussi, tandis que d’autres étaient enthousiasmés par la féerie des effets sonores. L’édition de travail établie par Katrin Eich sur la base de l’édition intégrale des oeuvres de Brahms offre désormais la possibilité de vérifier ces jugements – soit lors d’une exécution de l’oeuvre à partir des parties séparées dont les petites notes et les tournes optimales répondront aux attentes des musiciens, soit à la lecture de notre édition d’étude./ Répertoire / Eich, Katrin

This piece reflects Janácek's memories of childhood and youth in his native Hukvaldy and the Augustinian Abbey in Brno. Kry?tof Maratka, a Czech composer resident in France and a great admirer of Janácek, has arranged the original version to produce a welcome addition to the string quartet repertoire.Youth for wind sextet, is a masterpiece from Janácek's late period (1924). Maratka has successfully managed to transform the concise winds' sound that give this work its unique flavour into the timbre of the strings, thereby creating a 'third string quartet? of the composer.- Janácek's wind sextet arranged for string quartet- Welcome addition to the string quartet repertoire- Foreword by the arranger (Cz/Eng/Ger) / Quatuor A Cordes

Around 1800 Beethoven seems to have completely distanced himself from chamber music for wind. In letters to his publisher we read that he did not have any particular regard for his Septet op. 20 and the Sextet op. 71; furthermore he did not write any new works for wind ensembles.By contrast he ennobled his Trio op. 87 originally for two oboes and cor anglais by making an additional version for two violins and viola. This charming work ispublished following the Urtext in the Beethoven Complete Edition and is a welcome addition to the repertoire for these instruments for which a great deal has not otherwise been composed.
