Trio In B Flat Major, Opus 29 For Piano, Clarinet (Or Violin) & Cello

Max Reger's two String Trios stand alongside Mozart's Divertimento in E-flat major (K. 563) and Beethoven's Op. 9 trios at the pinnacle of the genre. In their style and technical demands Regerhas clearly taken these admired classical forebears as his guide. Both trios are classicist in nature and delight the listener with their relaxed and occasionally even joyful character. No wonder that they proved highly successfulat their premières in 1904 and 1915! For his edition the Reger specialist Michael Kube has examined the autograph scores and the first editions of both works. This edition in parts also comes in a miniature score withexactly the same text published in Henle's Study Score Series (HN 9722).

Wunderkind Sonatas Volume II for Piano and Violin K. 10-15 Editor: Wolf-Dieter Seiffert Fingering and bowing for Violin: Benjamin Schmid Fingering Piano: Ariane Haering Leopold Mozart was only able to understand his son's musical genius in terms of it being a God-given wonder: That my boy [...] knows all of this with his 8 years that could be expected of a man of forty years. In short: whoever has not seen or heard it, cannot believe it. In 1764 Wolfgang composed six sonatas in London - possibly after the model of Johann Christian Bach's Opus 2 - that can either be played as piano trios, as violin sonatas or simply on the piano. Royal sources were consulted for the edition: the copy in the British Library bears the handwritten note: This Volume belongs to the Queen 1788.

String Quartets Book VIII op. 64-The quartets were dedicated to the violinist Johann Tost who was the second principal violinist at the Esterházy court during the 1780s. His business sense led him to sell twelve quartets - opus 64 was probably amongst them - toa Parisian publisher. Whether Haydn approved of this is open to question - the dedication was however no longer present in the second imprint or the following ones. Our edition follows the Haydn Complete Edition and for thefirst time juxtaposes the quartet in E flat major and the two original trios.
