Pariser Quartette-Nouveaux Quatuors en Six Suites II for Flute Violin Viola da Gamba or Violoncello and Basso Continuo 'Paris Quartets'.Volume 2:Quartets 4-6 (B minor A major E minor) TWV 43: h2 A3 e4.Telemann’s chamber music is historically unique in its range of instrumental settings. From his huge output these new editions present the six quartets for Flute Violin Viola da Gamba or Violoncello and Basso Continuo that he wrote in Paris in the 1730s.Published with the title Nouveaux Quatuors en Six Suites by Le Clerc in Paris in 1738 these six pieces are suites with various sequences of movements each introduced by aprelude.Here Telemann shows himself committed to the French style. The works are of special interest not only for their high quality but also because of the variable scoring of the third part for Viola da Gamba or Violoncello.Our edition consists of a full score with preface (German/English) and separate instrumental parts including a Keyboard with figured bass.

This Rondo was written around the same time as the Piano Concertos in A major (K. 488) and c minor (K. 491). In the course of the work a theme from the third movement of the Piano Quartet in g minor (K. 478)is taken up and further developed. In spite of its considerable length and its musical depth the work was apparently not published during the composer?s lifetime. The dedication ?Pour Mad:selle Charlotte de W?? (the rest isindecipherable) is an enigma. No matter which lady Mozart had in mind this rondo is today one of his best loved and most played Piano works. Our single edition follows the musical text in the revised volume of his Pianoworks (HN 22) published in Mozart Year 2006.

Early piano quintet for Piano 2 Violins Viola VioloncelloIn 1887 Anton n Dvorák revised several of the works he had composed in the 1860s and 1870s most of which he then published for the first time.In this context he asked the music critic Ludev t Procházka to return a manuscript copy of the Piano Quintet in A major Op.5 (B 28) composed 15 years earlier. But after thoroughly revising the work he declined to publish it; instead he wrote a new piano quintet in the same key the famous Op.81. And so the manuscript copy he requested from Procházka remains the sole source for this early piece of chamber music.Dvorák?s first Piano Quintet in A majorwas never published during his lifetime. This edition presents the musical text from the ?Complete Edition of the Works of Anton n Dvorák? Volume IV/11.Now with a new detailed Foreword (Eng/Cz/Ger) by David R. Beveridge

It reflected the mid-18th century’s wider enthusiasm for reviving the clean well-ordered structures of Greek classicism across the arts. The orchestra expanded in size woodwind became aself-contained section and the Harpsichord was increasingly displaced by the recently invented fortepiano. Instrumental music dominated notably symphony and string quartet with examples of both strands represented here inbeautiful and accurate Piano arrangements that are perfect for seasoned players of Classical music or those new to the period. The Library Of Classical Music sheet musicsongbook covers the rich musical period that followed Baroque and preceded Romantic.

8 well-known original pieces in progressive order of difficulty with practical comments-Haydn’s piano sonatas are indispensable in the moderately difficult piano repertoire not just because of their sheer playability but also because of their humour and inventiveness. Besides several easy individual movements ourvolume also includes two complete sonatas so that the performer can experience the broader dramatic trajectory of a multi-movement work. We further include some charming arrangements for piano that Haydn made of his own works such as the slow movement of his String Quartet op. 76 no. 3 whose theme is better known today as the German national anthem.
