F. X. Richter, one of the foremost exponents of the Mannheimer School, was a prodigious and versatile composer whose instrumental output comprises about 70 symphonies, 6 harpsichord concertos, flute concertos, several string quartets, as well as trios, duets and solo pieces. His vocal compositions (almost exclusively sacred works) are equally numerous: an oratorio, more than 30 masses, 2 passions, about 50 motets, several cantatas, lamentations, a Te Deum and other pieces are known. Richter was also the author of a comprehensive theoretical work, a collection of essays with the title Harmonische Belehrungen oder grundliche Anweisung zu der mus. Ton-Kunst oder regularen Composition [Harmonic lessons or thorough instruction on the art of music or regular composition]. For flute duet or violin duet.

After the Toccata for piano and string quintet from 1989, the quartet for oboe, violin, viola and piano from 2010 and the piano quintet from 2014, Olli Mustonen has now presented his first work contribution for the tradition-rich pure string quartet occupation. The four-movement quartet ties in with the historical lines of the genre since Classicism and Romanticism and transmits them into a contemporary musical language. Virtuously, the concluding sentence ends in an ecstatic Con fuoco all'Ungharese.

Loui s-Gabriel Guillemain (1705-1770) was born in Paris and entered the court orchestra of Versailles as a violinist in 1737. As a composer he was influenced by Corelli and apparently self-taught.This Chasse comes from Jean-Baptiste Cartier's compendium L'Art du violin (1798). Hunt pieces of this type were very common in eighteenth-century French violin music.

Cyril Scott (1879 - 1970) composed Deux Preludes in 1912. Includes: I. Poeme erotique and II. Danse. In the first of two Preludes, Poeme Erotique, the continually changing time signatures are the defining factor, displacing the bar accents between a rocking three and a rhapsodic five-quaver meter. The Danse that follows relies even more on the rhythmic acuity of its interpreters through an unfolding sucession of unusual meter changes. These two pieces will appeal to an advanced player wishing to enrich his repertoire with superb effective performance pieces. Schott's exemplary printing on buff-colored paper with slightly-larger-than-usua l notation should serve to bring the unjustly neglected Scott back into the violin-repertoire fold.--Strings magazine.

Dessau's String Quartet movement was written while he was also working on Brecht's opera Puntila. After Brecht's death in 1956 Dessau found himself looking for a new direction. On the one hand he was still working on music begun in collaboration with the poet, while on the other hand Dessau was trying to work towards a socially oriented musical aesthetic, which led him to compose songs for political purposes. Even this Quartet movement does not owe its inspiration purely to an artistic vision. In spite of its technical demands, the piece is intended to be comprehensible and could even be played by an amateur ensemble in its cleverly reduced form. Only discovered after the composer's death, the Movement for String Quartet is published for the first time in this edition.

The short two-part composition refers to two persons by the name of Teresa. One of them was a beautiful Polish actress, the other the favourite model of the painter Balthus. I tried to fuse the characteristics of both female persons with each other in the merging parts. The three-line D produced by rubbing a wine glass sounds like a faraway, almost inaudible planet tone that ends with a brief sigh. Wilfried Hiller.

Musicians onstage stand in the limelight and enjoy their fame whereas after performance they become shrouded in a strange fog of isolation. Light is associated with ascent and descent: it can lead into brightness, but equally into darkness. Light can illuminate and yet bedazzling; fog stands for insecurity, uncertainty and anxiety ... but also for mysticism and wafting dreams. Somehow time stands still...
