Brilliant and invigorating, Noble Men is one of Fillmore's most delightful marches. The 1st strain is witty, and its continuation features a sparkling trumpet fanfare. The trio offers a suave tune as an effective contrast and the fortissimo repeat adds witty commentary from the high woodwinds to bring matters to a typically rousing conclusion. In this authentic edition by Robert Foster, Noble Men will be a delight to perform and enjoy. Duration: 2' 30.

To all extents and purposes, Germany is the land of artists, wrote Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy in 1831 while on his travels in Italy; but Italy, he added, is the land of art. Indeed, everywhere he went in Italy, the 22-year-old composer found impulses for his symphony: I have to save the work until I have seen Naples. But although the country fired his inspiration: It will be the merriest piece that I have ever written, he did not actually write the Italian Symphony there. This did not occur until early 1833, when Mendelssohn obtained a commission from London, where he then conducted the first performance in May 1833. Begun the following year, his revision of the piece remained fragmentary, and the composer no longer performed the work himself. The familiar London version thus represents the only closed form of the work which the composer presented to the public. This is the version of the Italian Symphony that is now appearing in the Breitkopf Urtext collection based on the Complete Edition.

We consulted experts in every category asking questions until both we and they and we were satisfied. Finally, a guide to fingering for beginners that even the experienced players will find beneficial. Santorella's Basic Fingering Charts are essential for anyone that picks up an instrument. Initially intended for beginners but after understanding the importance of false fingerings or more appropriately called, alternate fingerings their necessity is vital for playing certain musical passages on a particular instrument. In addition, after observing the difficulties that students had in identifying key signatures, we decided to include the Circle of Fifths diagram and every major scale in two octaves in every key including their enharmonic counterparts. After all was said in done, we now know, we now have the best educational products available for fingering in the industry.

French Chanson, arranged by Steven J. Pyter, is a rousing arrangement of a famous 16th-century choral work. The tuneful Renaissance art song tells a light-hearted story of gossip and rumor, with lyrics roughly translating to I will tell you! The story centers around a jealous husband suspicious of his beautiful wife. Like opera, the piece employs dramatic and whimsical characteristics to tell a passionate story. This arrangement alternates between tutti statements and short interludes to feature each instrument family in the band---woodwinds, brass, and percussion. The intensity and playfulness make for a great concert opener! (1:40).

Recorded on the Sammy Sammy Nestico CD This Is The Moment, this revised arrangement does not call for flutes, woodwinds, French horns or tuba, though some additional personnel (second keyboard/synthesizer, mallets, 2 percussion) are needed. This is a real specialty number that can't be played by every group, but bear in mind that it sounds more difficult than it really is. It is great fun to play, individual parts are not extreme, and the bright tempo doesn't call for a lot of fancy syncopation. With some committed rehearsal, this will work well on a diversified program.

With the Symphony K. 112, Cliff Eisen, Professor at the renowned Kings College and one of the leading Mozart specialists of the younger generation, continues the series of new editions of Mozarts orchestral works which began with the Prague Symphony. Here too, the editorial principles follow the guidelines of Urtext. In his work, he takes particular care in bringing his expert knowledge of contemporary performance practice into play when evaluating authentic part material. Eisen comes to surprising conclusions in a number of cases. At the very least, the Symphony K. 112 will sound different in these passages with the new material.

With the publication of the score and parts of the D-major Horn Concerto K. 412/514, the Mozart expert Henrik Wiese adds another milestone to his edition of this important work group which was begun in 2013. In the course of time, the piece that was first edited in the Old Mozart Edition of 1881 as Mozarts 1st Horn Concerto turned out to be a pasticcio: while the opening movement is indisputably by Mozart, the elaboration of the Rondo must now be attributed to Sussmayr. This movement is transmitted solely as a sketch in Mozarts hand. The present edition contains both the Sussmayr Rondo (K. 514 = smWV 502) and the Mozartian Rondo fragment (K. 412) which was carefully completed by Wiese. The performer will thus have the choice between the traditional version (with Sussmayr) and the version presumably intended by Mozart, all in one practical edition.

Today, it is hard to believe that Bedrich Smetana kept receiving rejections when he tried to get his enormously popular Moldau printed.
ISBN 9790004185001. 10 x 12.5 inches.
What is also amazing is that the first text-critical edition prepared by the Czech Smetana expert Milan Pospisil in 1999, which had entailed an exhaustive evaluation of the sources and been given a full text-critical editorial treatment as a Eulenburg study score, had no resonance of any kind among performers since no performance material had been published. After 15 years, Pospisils edition is finally being completed in a manner suitable for practice: with a conducting score and orchestral parts which will ensure that all future performances are based on a musical text that is as reliable as can be.
The work depicts the course of the river Vltava, beginning with its first two sources, the cold and warm Vltava, and the confluence of the two streams that join to form a single river; then the course of the Vltava through forests and meadows, and through open countryside where a peasant wedding is being celebrated; water-sprites dance by the light of the moon; on the nearby cliffs castles, mansions and ruins rise proudly into the air; the Vltava eddies in the St John's Rapids, then flows in a broad stream as it continues its course towards Prague, where the Vysehrad appears, before the river finally disappears into the distance as it flows majestically into the Elbe.Vltava (The Moldau), Smetana's best-known and most frequently performed orchestral work, was written between 19 November and 8 December 1874, at a time when Smetana was already completely deaf. The world premiere took place in Prague on 4 April 1875, but the score was not published until 1880.

Schumann's A minor concerto is considered as the ultimate romantic piano concerto. Since the Schumann anniversary year 2010, musicians will be able to base their performance on a complete Urtext edition. The state of the sources is unfortunately patchy, as the original version of the first movement, a Phantasie of 1841 that was given two trial performances, can no longer be reconstructed. On the other hand, the posthumously published score raises certain questions, since it diverges from the editions (solo part and orchestral parts) authorized by Schumann and published in 1846, after the first performance. The pianist Mitsuko Uchida contributed the fingering for the version for two pianos. Schumann's great solo concertos are thus available in their entirety from Breitkopf, in editions prepared with the expert help of major interpreters: the Cello Concerto with Heinrich Schiff and the Violin Concerto with Thomas Zehetmair. Dans l'incomparable qualite de gravure de la plus ancienne maison d'edition musicale au monde! (L'education musicale).
