Par LEIVISKA HELVI. Finnish composer Helvi Leiviskä (1902-1982) created a broad-based output of orchestral works, solo songs and chamber music. Her style could be described as moderate modernism, deriving influences from multiple sources such as late Romanticism, Symbolism, Expressionism, Existentialism and Neo-Classicism. Leiviskä's output is characterised by philosophical and religious themes, images of nature and narrative structures. Many of her works focus on human existential angst and spiritual searching and growth. Helvi Leiviskä originally completed her Piano Quartet in A major op. 1 in 1926 but revised it a decade later, in 1935. Written for the traditional piano quartet lineup (violin, viola, cello and piano), the work is in three movements and has a duration of about 25 minutes. It features religious and ecstatic imagery such as may be found in French, German or Russian neo-Romantic styles. Leiviskä's Piano Quartet is considered one of the cornerstones of her chamber music output. Its early version was premiered in two parts at student recitals of the Helsinki Music Institute (the 1st movement in 1925 and the 2nd and 3rd movements in 1926). The revised version was performed in full by Timo Mikkilä (piano), Sulo Aro (violin), Ilmo Ranta (viola) and Pentti Rautawaara (cello) on Finnish radio in 1939. The work was also on the programme of Leiviskä's second composition concert in 1945, being performed on that occasion by Jussi Jalas (piano), Erik Cronvall (violin), Erik Karma (viola) and Yrjö Selin (cello). Two commercial recordings have been released (Finlandia Classics 2012 and Telos Music 2016). It is published for the first time 2022 with an extensive foreword by Susanna Välimäki. The product includes the full score (piano part) and a set of string parts. Duration: c. 25'. Have a look inside by clicking 'sample'. / Date parution : 2022-05-31/ Répertoire / Quatuor avec Piano

Quatuor début avec piano Schumann composé en 1829 n'a pas encore trouvé sa voie dans le répertoire de concert, bien qu'il serait bien méritée. Cela est attribuable au fait que le travail n'a été disponible dans une version complète d'erreurs jusqu'à présent. Notre nouvelle édition le chercheur renommé de Schumann Joachim Draheim repose non seulement sur l'autographe, mais aussi sur les croquis de Schumann, fournissant ainsi un texte musical convaincant pour la première fois. Les pages manquantes de l'autographe (fin du premier mouvement, la partie gauche de piano dans le menuet, etc.) ont été réalisées pour la première fois avec l'aide de passages parallèles de manière convaincante et stylistiquement sensible. Un ajout précieux pour le répertoire à l'occasion de l'année 2010 de Schumann. / Violon, Alto, Violoncelle Et Piano
