This anonymous sextet arrangement of Beethoven's Fourth Piano Concerto was highly popular in Vienna during the composer's lifetime.We know this from at least two sets of handwritten parts which were then in circulation.No piano part has been handed down- indeed, the original sets of parts probably omitted the piano.The soloist presumably studied his part from the first edition of the solo part, published with the original performance material in 1808. (The full score did not appear until 1861).The sextet version deftly integrates the original wind parts into the string texture.The arrangement stands in the tradition of piano reductions with chamber music accompaniment, of the sort which were also made for Mozart's piano concertos K. 413 to 415 and later for the Chopin concertos.This Urtext edition, edited by the renowned Beethoven scholar Jonathan Del Mar, presents this arrangement for the first time in print. The musical text is supplemented by an informative Introduction and a Critical Commentary.- First ever publication of this arrangement- Includes a separate solo part as was customary in Beethoven's day- Provides new possibilities for soloists to perform this work / Quatuor A Cordes Et Piano

A Musical Portrait In 2012 Nicola Campogrande received a rather singular commission when a total stranger asked him to compose a musical portrait of his fiancee. The man knew exactly what he wanted: a concerto for piano and orchestra. After some reflection, Campogrande realised that he would be able to paint with music. It would never be possible, of course, to recognise the shape of the woman's face or the colour of her hair, but the score could evoke the way in which she occupied space and time, and the different movements of the composition would be like the faces on a rotating prism. Campogrande thus accepted the commission and the stranger sent him a few photos of his fiancee, spoke to him about her and, finally, introduced him to her. This is how R (A portrait for piano and orchestra) was born, first performed in April 2013 by Lilya Zilberstein with the Orchestra Verdi in Milan. Subsequently, following other performances and a TV documentary, a number of different pianists asked Campogrande to write a version for solo piano. Hence Nudo emerged, a piece that would be very similar to R, were it not for the fact that, as the title suggests, the pianist is naked, without orchestral clothing.Un portrait musical En 2012, Nicola Campogrande s'est vu proposer une commission fort singuliere ; un parfait etranger lui demandait de composer le portrait musical de sa compagne. L'homme savait exactement ce qu'il voulait : un concert pour piano et orchestre. Apres quelques hesitations, Campogrande s'est rendu compte qu'il pouvait se servir de la musique comme d'un pinceau. Bien entendu, il ne serait jamais possible de reconnaitre la forme du visage de la femme ou la couleur de ses cheveux, mais la partition pourrait evoquer la facon dont elle se deplacait dans l'espace et dans le temps, et les differents mouvements de la piece seraient comme les figures d'un prisme en rotation. Campogrande a donc accepte la commission ; l'etranger lui a envoye des photos de sa compagne, il lui a parle d'elle, avant de les faire se rencontrer personnellement. Ainsi est ne R (Un portrait pour piano et orchestre), interprete pour la premiere fois en avril 2013 par Lilya Zilberstein et l'orchestre Verdi de Milan. D'autres executions ont suivi, ainsi qu'un documentaire televise, apres quoi plusieurs pianistes ont prie Campogrande d'ecrire une version pour piano seul. C'est ainsi que Nudo a vu le jour : un << nu >> tres semblable au premier portrait, si ce n'est que le piano s'y trouve, comme le suggere le titre, depouille de son vetement orchestral. Ritrarre con la musica Nel 2012 Nicola Campogrande ha ricevuto la piu singolare delle commissioni, quando un perfetto sconosciuto gli ha chiesto di comporre il ritratto musicale della sua fidanzata. L'uomo sapeva esattemente cio che voleva: un concerto per pianoforte e orchestra. Dopo qualche esitazione, Campogrande si e reso conto di poter dipingere con la musica; certo, non sarebbe stato possibile riconoscere la forma del viso della donna o il colore dei suoi capelli, ma la partitura avrebbe evocato il modo nel quale lei si muoveva nello spazio e nel tempo, e i vari movimenti del brano sarebbero stati come le facce di un prisma in rotazione. Campogrande ha dunque accettato la commissione e lo sconosciuto gli ha mandato alcune foto della sua fidanzata, gli ha parlato di lei e, alla fine, gliela ha presentata personalmente. E cosi nato cosi R (Un ritratto per pianoforte e orchestra), eseguito per la prima volta nell'aprile 2013 da Lilya Zilberstein insieme all'Orchestra Verdi di Milano.In seguito, dopo altre esecuzioni e un documentario tv, diversi pianisti hanno chiesto a Campogrande di preparare una versione per pianoforte solo. E stato cosi che ha preso forma Nudo, un brano del tutto simile a R tranne per il fatto che, come suggerisce il titolo, il pianista e nudo, senza un abito orchestrale.
