In the rest of the movement normal intonation should be used.The slow and rhythmical vibrato pulse should follow the accents2nd Movement:The 10/5 meter is divided into two beats and the dotted lines show the position of the second beat in each bar3rd Movement:no comment4th Movement:The very high harmonics are intended as mostly a high 'airy' sound.

arranged for Pianoforte and String Quintet-Concerto for Pianoforte and Orchestra No.4 Op.58: arranged for Pianoforte and String Quintet.Piano Violin (2) Viola (2) Violoncello.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 sextetversion 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.

Dvorák, Antonín Concerto for Piano and Orchestra G minor op. 33 B 63 - New Urtext edition of Dvorák's only piano concerto - Commentary on performance practice by Czech pianist Ivo Kahánek (Eng/Cz/Ger) - Piano reduction by Karel 'olc adapted to fit this new edition Edition no. BA 10420-90 ISMN 9790260108394 Composed in 1876, Dvorák's only piano concerto has been overshadowed by his other two concertos, for violin and violoncello, respectively. Performers and editors have often attempted to upgrade this pianistically unassuming work by adding stylisations of their own. Our Urtext edition revaluates the sources, frees the work from subsequent interventions and presents it to full advantage in its authentic form. The principal source of our new edition is the first complete print issued by the publisher Hainauer in 1883, which has been meticulously collated with the autograph. The anonymous original piano reduction is so full of mistakes that editor Robbert van Steijn decided instead to present the version by Karel 'olc.

Entre 1859 et 1885 avec ses quatre symphonies ses deux concertos pour piano un concerto pour violon des danses des variations et des ouvertures Brahms était devenu le représentant incontournable de la grande musique orchestrale. En 1887 il choisit d?écrire son double concerto en la mineur op. 102 pour le violon et le violoncelle car il disposait pour ces instruments de solistes de premier plan: après la création de la deuxième sonate pour violoncelle de Brahms le violoncelliste Robert Hausmann lui avait demandé une pièce de concert quant au fameux violoniste Joseph Joachim il entretenait avec Brahms des liens d?amitié et avait notamment créé son concerto pourviolon. Après la tonalité sombre de la quatrième symphonie ce concerto apparaît comme particulièrement optimiste et réconciliateur. Également paru dans le cadre de la nouvelle édition complète des ?uvres de Brahms il est proposé ici sous la forme très maniable de partition d?étude.

Written in 1803 by Johann Nepomuk Hummel (1778-1837) this Trumpet Concerto in E-flat Major is a classical piece of the Trumpet repertoire. Composed in the spirit of Mozart and initially for the keyed-Trumpet it was re-discovered in 1958 by a Yale student after 150 years of inertia due to the obsolescence of the instrument for which it was made. This edition offers a transposition in E-flat Major (initially in E Major) adapted to the instruments in use today. The other instruments to be involved in this concerto are a Flute two Oboes two Clarinets two Bassoons two Horns Timpani and Strings. Hummel?s Trumpet Concerto begins with an orchestra onlyfirst movement in a sonata theme which is repeated with the inclusion of the soloist. This Allegro Spirito sounds reminiscent of the Haffner Symphony (No. 35 in D Major) by Mozart but distinguished itself by a second theme. The second movement Andante is more melodic with the trumpet which holds long notes. Finally the Rondo offers a blissful and bright end to the Concerto. Former student of Mozart Johann Nepomuk Hummel (1778-1837) was a brilliant composer pianist conductor and teacher. Evolving at the same period as Beethoveen he became as famous as him and wrote numerous concertos (for Piano Oboe Trumpet Violin and others) operas and some wind music pieces.
