Concerto : for piano and orchestra, opus 20 (Klavierauszug)

For Violin Viola and Piano (Reduced from the orchestra version). Britten was so remarkably prolific as a young composer that many of the works from his teens were put aside to await revision or completion as he rushed on tothe next piece. This was particularly the case around the time of his Opus 1 Sinfonietta composed in the summer of 1932 his second year as a student at the Royal College Of Music.The Sinfonietta waswritten (in less than three weeks) very soon after Britten had completed the first draft of the Double Concerto; but after finishing the Sinfonietta he went back to revise the Concerto's second movement. He started workon his Op.2 Phantasy for Oboe and String Trio a few weeks later.Although the Concerto follows the same three-movement pattern as the Sinfonietta it is more ambitious in scale; and since the sketchis unusually for Britten complete in practically every detail it is puzzling that he never made a full score of the work after finishing the composition and seems to have made no attempt to get it performed. It is not clear ifhe had particular performers in mind (he was of course a Viola player although he is not likely to have intended the part for himself). He showed the work to his composition teacher at the college John Ireland who as Brittenrecorded in his diary was 'pretty pleased' with it; but it is distinctly possible that his experience in rehearsing the Sinfonietta with a student orchestra in 1932 ('I have never heard such an appalling row!' readsanother diary entry) discouraged him from going on to complete the Double Concerto in score. He was not to hear any of his orchestral works until the first performance of Our Hunting Fathers in 1936.In theabsence of Britten's full score it was necessary for me to prepare the work from the sketch. But the instrumentation is so carefully indicated in the draft that the resulting score is not far from being 100% Britten - only between

Dmitri Shostakovich's Piano Concerto No. 2 Opus 102 is presented here in miniature score format as part of the highly respected Boosey & Hawkes catalogue.

Concerto no. 2 in c minor op. 18 for Piano and Orchestra-Rachmaninoff???s legendary Opus 18 often lovingly referred to as Rach 2 ??? is for many the epitome of the Romantic piano concerto. Following its acclaimed premiere in Moscow in 1901 it proved to be a show-stopper around the globe finally helping cement Rachmaninoff???s international reputation as a composer. To this day the concerto???s enchanting themes and elegiac melodies in the strings are considered the trademark of Rachmaninoff indeed of Russian music in general. For the first Urtext edition of this pivotal work we were able to examine the original autograph score in Moscow???s Glinka Museum. Rachmaninoff???s own sound recordings were also consulted. The newly prepared pianoreduction ensures good playability: it accords exactly with the also newly edited orchestral score and parts. Both of these are available from Breitkopf and H?rtel.

Par LHOYER ANTOINE DE. Antoine de Lhoyer 1768-1852 Collection pour la guitare proposée par le duo Spinosi La vie d'Antoine de Lhoyer est un véritable roman dont la guitare reste le personnage central. Ce compositeur, guitariste, Chevalier de Saint-Louis et de Saint-Jean de Jérusalem, Garde de la Manche du Roi, nous a légué des chefs-d'?uvre longtemps restés dans l'obscurité des bibliothèques. La présente édition s'attache à vous en livrer les plus belles pages. La première édition connue de ce concerto fut publiée par Böhme, à Hambourg, en 1802. Il peut sembler curieux qu'une ?uvre aussi enthousiasmante soit restée si longtemps ignorée des guitaristes et du public alors que son existence était parfaitement connue. Ce concerto fut recréé en 2001 à Brest avec l'Ensemble Matheus (dirigé par Jean-Christophe Spinosi). Après l'avoir joué de très nombreuses fois en France et en Espagne, puis enregistré, j'invite tous les guitaristes à partager mon enthousiasme, ma joie et ma passion pour cette ?uvre superbe.
