  • Haydn/Salomon – Symphony in D major Hob. I:104 “Londoner”

    A good 200 years ago in London, Johann Peter Salomon made five-part arrangements for flute, string quartet and piano ad libitum of Haydn’s 12 London symphonies. The distribution of the arrangements was enormous. Reprints in England and other European countries attest to their popularity. Salomon had been able to close a gap in the chamber music repertoire.Christopher Hogwood presents here a new edition of the arrangement of Symphony No. 104. The basis is Salomon’s original manuscript, which was found a few years ago.

  • Haydn/Salomon – Symphony Quintetto in C major Hob. I:97

    Only a few years after Joseph Haydn’s twelve “London” symphonies were written, Johann Peter Salomon (1745–1815) published ad libitum arrangements of these works for flute, string quartet and piano for the first time. Numerous reprints in Europe indicate the extraordinary success of these arrangements in the 19th century. Based on Salomon’s original manuscript, Christopher Hogwood now presents a new practical edition of the arrangement of Symphony No. 97. This and the three six-part arrangements that have already been published enrich the chamber music repertoire and are likely to be as popular today as they were in the 19th century.

  • Haydn – Concertante In Bb Maj

    “Sometimes the symphonies … are destined to showcase the musicians’ talents” – a music dictionary of the time thus commented on a new genre, the “Symphonie concertante”. The playful competition between the solo instruments proved very popular with the audience and sparked a rivalry among the concert organizers in the music metropolis London: Ignaz Pleyel received a great deal of praise for one such “concertante” and only four weeks later Haydn achieved great fame for Hob. I:105. This attractive work is now published in piano reduction so that it can be played without orchestral accompaniment. The performing material is published by Bärenreiter.?

  • Grieg – Peer Gynt Suite No. 1 Op. 46

    Since Grieg’s Peer Gynt Suite No. 1 was first performed in 1876, this work has become one of the most performed of the Romantic period. It was not long before the suite was arranged for other ensembles. The present arrangement of four movements for the woodwind quintet does justice to Grieg’s sound world by bringing out the subtle nuances of the five very different instruments. Included, of course, are “Morning,” “Aase’s Death,” “Anitra’s Dance,” and the suite’s centrepiece, “In the Hall of the Mountain King.”

  • Reicha – Quintet for Wind Instruments E Flat Major Op.88/2

    Reicha published a total of 24 wind quintets for the “classical” scoring of flute, oboe, clarinet, horn and bassoon- op. 88 no. 2 is one of the best-loved and most played. “If it were possible to surpass Haydn in the composition of quartets and quintets, Reicha would have succeeded with these quintets”, thus raved the “Allgemeine Musikalische Zeitung” on a performance of Reicha’s quintets, “it seems to me that it is impossible to unite more correctness and clarity with more inventiveness and originality.” This work exudes inspiration and spirit from every note. In addition to the parts, we have also produced a handy study edition of the score.

  • Dvorak – String Quintet in G major op. 77

    The Quintet in G major for two violins, viola, cello and double bass is a work from the time of Dvorak’s first rise; the higher opus number was later assigned to the piece by the publisher Simrock. The quintet was composed in 1875 as a competition composition in chamber music. This piece by Dvorak won in the competition organized by the music department of the Umelecka beseda (cultural society). For the 1888 print edition, the composer revised the original five-movement version of the quintet, emphasizing one slow movement. The volume is part of the first complete critical edition of the works of A. Dvorak.

  • Dvorak – String Quintet in E flat major op. 97

    The piece, composed with the string quartet in F major in Spillville, America, during the summer holidays of 1893, is one of the fruits of Dvorak’s stay in America. Like the other works from this period, the Quintet in E flat major is influenced by elements of American music, the pentatonic scale and black folklore. The volume is part of the first complete critical edition of the works of A. Dvorak.

  • Dvorak – Piano Quintet in A major, Op. 5

    The composer finished the Quintet in A major for two violins, viola, cello and piano op. 5 in 1872. It thus comes from a period in which Dvorak, after a phase of passionate interest in the music of German neo-romanticism, was gradually moving towards a quieter, more personal expression reached. The original version of the quintet from 1872 has been lost. The Critical Edition presents this work from Dvorak’s youth in its final form, given by the composer after a thorough revision 15 years later when he significantly reduced his original score. The volume is part of the first complete critical edition of the works of A. Dvorak.

  • Bizet – L’Arlesienne Suite No. 1

    George Bizet’s “ L’Arlésienne ” Suite No. 1, which goes back to his incidental music to a stage work by Alphonse Daudet, was arranged for large orchestra by the composer just a few weeks after its premiere in autumn 1872. The suite was a success from the first performance. Hints of folksy melodies from southern France, together with the masterful orchestration of the four movements, create a typically French atmosphere.Joachim Linckelmann’s arrangement for wind quintet is so close to the musical tone of the original that the listener is left in doubt as to whether it was written by Bizet himself.

  • Beethoven – Quintet E flat major op. 16

    Works for or with wind instruments (then called “Harmonie” in German) were an extraordinarily popular genre in the Viennese Classical era. Beethoven also created a number of works that call for wind instruments, including his Piano Quintet op. 16 in E flat major. It was written in 1796 while Beethoven was on his concert tour to Prague and Berlin.
    Unmistakable are the parallels with Mozart’s corresponding Quintet K. 452, both in the key and in the sequence of single movements. The grace and serenity that stamp the work recall the model particularly favoured by Beethoven. That he himself had a soft spot in his heart for this work emerges from the fact that he repeatedly placed it on the programs of his concerts as a pianist, and also arranged it as a quartet for piano and three-stringed instruments.

  • Bach – Concerto Da Camera F Maj

    Based on the realization that not all of the concertos listed in the dedication autograph for Christian Ludwig von Brandenburg in 1721 were composed for the first time for this collection, Klaus Hofmann wrote the quintet version – for trumpet, recorder, oboe, violin and basso continuo – of the 2nd Brandenburg Concerto of Johann Sebastian Bach reconstructed. The subordinate tasks of the tutti strings as well as conspicuous compositional compromises at passages where the ripieno makes music independently form the basis for the assumption that the concerto represents an original arrangement of an original chamber music version. The reconstruction of this version has great formal stringency and tonal transparency and allows the colourfulness of the combination of instruments to emerge – an enrichment of the chamber music repertoire.

  • Mozart – Horn Quintet E flat major K. 407 (386c)

    We not only owe three of Mozart’s horn concertos to his friendship with Ignaz Leutgeb; the solo part of this unusual chamber music work was also written especially for him. Instead of having two violins, the accompanying string quartet has two violas, which complement the dark and warm timbre of the horn and lend the work a unique tonal effect. Echoes of motives from the “Abduction from the Seraglio” allow us to suppose that it was composed around the same time as the Singspiel. As the autograph is missing, this edition is based on the first edition. In addition, the critical apparatus provides a careful evaluation of the secondary sources, affording important insights into Mozart’s intentions.

  • Mozart – String Quintets Vol.1

    “Because I only need four parts to express everything” – Haydn is said to have replied thus when asked why he had not composed a string quintet. Mozart saw things differently. He applied himself to this genre six times, even giving important parts to the two violas.
    Following Volume II, which contains the three most often played quintets, we now warmly recommend Mozart’s first Quintet K. 174 to ensembles, before in 2008 the 3rd and final volume will be published. The editors were able to refer to the autograph, which is once again accessible. It shows Mozart’s intensive compositional work, resulting in the fact that he composed the minuet and finale of the work a second time. The first version of both movements is included in the appendix of our edition, enabling insightful comparisons.

  • Bruch – Streichquintett Es-Dur

    On May 18, 2006, a manuscript was auctioned at Sotheby’s that made the world of chamber music sit up and take notice: Shortly before his death, Max Bruch composed three string works that he was no longer able to publish himself. After his death, the two quintets and the octet were considered lost. While the other two works are now accessible again, the E-flat major quintet has not yet been found.
    Only now did the well-preserved copy appear in the Sotheby’s catalogue. Evaluated according to all the rules of source criticism, this first edition makes this attractive late-Romantic work available.
