Erwin Schulhoff (1894-1942) compte parmi les personnalités les plus originales de la musique du début du XXe siècle. Tombée un temps dans l oubli en raison des persécutions et de l ostracisme du régime national-socialiste, l excellence de sa musique, influencée par le jazz et le dadaïsme, la musique atonale et le réalisme socialiste, commence à être redécouverte depuis quelques décennies. Sa Hot-Sonate de 1930 trahit, ne serait-ce que par son utilisation du saxophone en tant qu instrument soliste, l influence du jazz qui s exprime également dans la force des rythmes, l harmonie chatoyante et certaines techniques de jeu comme les glissandi. La Hot-Sonate paraît ici pour la première fois dans une édition Urtext. L édition élimine de nombreuses erreurs de la première édition qui a été réimprimée à l identique jusqu à nos jours. L ensemble des sources pertinentes ont pu être mises à profit: l autographe, une copie destinée au graveur, l exemplaire personnel de Schulhoff ainsi que divers documents personnels comme des lettres et des contrats. L édition a bénéficié du concours du saxophoniste berlinois Frank Lunte, remarquable connaisseur à la fois du répertoire et de l histoire du saxophone en particulier dans le Berlin des années 1930.

The Austro-Hungarian composer Erwin Schulhoff (1894-1942) was musically precocious: At the suggestion of AntonÃn Dvorák, he receivedpiano lessons at the age of seven, and at the age of ten became a student at the Prague Conservatory. Further piano studies in Vienna, Cologne and Leipzig as well as composition lessons with Max Reger supplemented his education. His Jewish heritage, which defamed his music as “degenerateâ€, and his sympathy for communism, however, cost him his life. In Prague and finally interned in Wülzburg near Weissenburg in Bavaria, he died of tuberculosis. Schulhoff's musical significance lies in the integration of jazz into art music, for example in his oratorio H.M.S. Royal Oak or in his Hot Sonata for alto saxophone and piano. He earned his living as a jazz pianist for a long time. In August 1922 he wrote four short piano pieces, his Rag Music, to which he added four more phrases in November: released as Partita, also known as Jazz-like Partita - with the fashion dances Ragtime, Foxtrott, Shimmy, Boston and - as No. 7 - a tango. From a piano to a string quartet movement, the arrangement presents itself as a delicate and smart, technically not too difficult sweet, suitable as a diversion or addition in a quartet program.
