Franz Schubert: Quintet in A Major Op. 114 or The Trout: Viola Solo:

Par SCHUBERT FRANZ. Schubert adapta cinq de ses nombreux lieder sous forme de pièces instrumentales. Ainsi, la mélodie de «La Truite», lied composé en 1817, lui servit-elle de thème pour les variations de son quintette pour piano, violon, alto, violoncelle et contrebasse D 667 qui reste l’une des oeuvres les plus populaires de toute la musique de chambre. La tonalité solaire de la pièce – beaucoup plus gaie que les autres oeuvres de musique de chambre de Schubert – semble faire écho au bonheur de l’été 1819. Schubert composa cette pièce à 22 ans alors qu’il venait de passer l’été en compagnie agréable à Steyr, en Haute-Autriche. La présente édition Urtext se conforme pour l’essentiel à la premièreédition viennoise, vraisemblablement la version originale du manuscrit autographe aujourd’hui disparu. Elle prend également en compte l’unique source manuscrite de cette oeuvre, une copie réalisée par un ami de Schubert, Albert Stadler. Les musiciens apprécieront certainement la disposition optimale des tournes! / Partition brochée / Date parution : 1905-06-28/ Répertoire / Quintette avec Piano

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

Music Minus One Piano-Schubert's seminal chamber composition the Piano Quintet in A major D667 commonly known as 'The Trout' or 'Die Forelle ' is certainly one of the greatest pieces of music ever penned. Its rich textures and lovely melody create an unforgettable musical experience. Its celebration of nature's beauty stems from a summer trip in the Austrian Alps which inspired the young Schubert to rework a song into this complex chamber-piece. Composed of five alternating movements 'The Trout' uses unique orchestration (substituting a double bass for the second violin) and gives special emphasis to the piano as well. But all the instruments take an equal role and this may also be a reason for thepiece's eternal popularity. 'The Trout' instantly brings to mind the calm serenity of the summer mountain air and its sparkling melody and gentle poignancy leave a particularly happy feeling in both player and listener. It is a joy-filled piece but at the same time is filled with a serene quality that makes it one of the most exhilarating pieces for any musician to play and one of the most important compositions for any musician to learn. This Music Minus One edition gives you that opportunity in the comfort of your own home. Contains a high-quality printed music score with informative liner notes and compact disc (with accompaniments only) voluminously indexed for ease of practice.

for Piano Violin Viola Violoncello and Double Bass-Piano Quintet in A major Op.post.114 D 667 (Trout Quintet)for Piano Violin Viola Violoncello and Double BassDuring the summer months of the years 1819 1823 and 1825 Schubert spent several weeks with his friend and interpreter of his lieder Johann Michael Vogl in Vogl?s home town of Steyr in Upper Austria. Vogl made Schubert acquainted with the musical circles of the town particularly with the home and circle of Sylvester Paumgartner the musical patron of Steyr at that time. Schubert?s relations with Steyr and with Paumgartner in particular were vividly recounted by Schubert?s friend Albert Stadler who also came from Steyr in his memorandums addressed toFerdinand Luib in 1858. Stadler?s report is the only source concerning the origin of the Quintet.?You are probably familiar with Schubert?s Quintet for pianoforte violin viola violoncello and double bass with the variations on his ?Trout?. He wrote it at the express wish of my friend Sylvester Paumgartner who was utterly enchanted with the delightful little song. He wanted the piece to have the form and scoring of Hummel?s Quintet recte Septet still new at that time. Schubert finished the piece quickly and kept the score himself . . .?.This account shows that the piece was written upon Paumgartner?s suggestion but gives no information about the time and place of composition. However one can assume that Schubert composed it in 1819 for Steyr.Urtext of the New Schubert EditionPiano score & set of parts (BA5608) available for sale
