Ludwig van Beethoven: Complete String Quartets

Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. A master of music in all forms, Beethoven brought his genius to works as mighty as the great 'Choral' Symphony and as intimate as the charming 'Spring' Sonata. Less well known, but no less ingenious, are his delightful works scored for small Wind Ensembles. Intimate, melodious, and full of rhythmic life, this charming music brings a breath of fresh air to the world of fine chamber music. Scored for various combinations of Winds (three works also include solo Strings), the music in this compilation includes the Three Duos, WoO 27 - the Trio, Op. 87 - two Sextets, Opp. 71 and 81b - the Septet, Op. 20 - and the Octet, Op. 103. Beethoven's Serenade, Op. 25, and Rondino, WoO 25, round out this collection of the master's complete music for Wind ensembles. Reproduced from authoritative early scores, Ludwig Van Beethoven: Complete Music For Wind Ensembles offers an inexpensive yet comprehensive volume to all lovers of chamber music. / Niveau : Intermédiaire à Avancé / Répertoire / Instruments à Vent

Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. Many anecdotes surround String Quartet op. 131: Beethoven is said to have considered it to be his finest quartet and of his late period works, the one dearest to his heart. It is also believed that the composer invested so much of himself in it: his ailing health, the social isolation brought about by his deafness and the suicide attempt of his nephew Karl. In addition it was reported that Franz Schubert asked to hear this piece once more on his deathbed. Even if these anecdotes are not all true, they reveal what generations of musicians felt they heard in this quartet: Beethoven’s most personal musical idiom and a vulnerable message from the final period of his life. This new edition by Jonathan Del Mar represents a thorough revision of this highly complex work. Meticulously incorporated are Beethoven’s pencil markings that were previously almost completely ignored./ Répertoire / Quatuor à Cordes
