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

Score Parties. Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. When Beethoven wrote these three quartets he was 15 years old and a composition student of Christian Gottlob Neefe in Bonn. They reveal a strong Mozartian influence while the brilliant piano writing already gives a sense of the mature Beethoven. He may conceivably have written the works for the wealthy Mastiaux family in Bonn, as he gave piano lessons to one of the daughters and the other three siblings played violin, viola and violoncello. The sole source for the quartets is the autograph score which contains many overwritings that shed light on the works' original conception and possible alternative readings. Although Beethoven never published the pieces in his lifetime and is not known to have performed them, he reused their melodic and thematic material in later compositions. Beethoven preserved the autograph score to the end of his days ? perhaps an indication that the quartets meant a great deal to him. The first edition was published by Artaria in Vienna one year after his death, albeit with the pieces in a different order and with many errors in the musical text. Bärenreiter's scholarly performing edition of the Piano Quartets WoO 36 is edited by the Italian pianist Leonardo Miucci, a specialist in the performance practice of keyboard music from this period. The edition not only presents the correct readings, it also sheds light on the young Beethoven's expressive notation and provides a plausible explanation for the distinction he made between dots and strokes to indicate staccato./ Répertoire / Quatuor pour Piano, Violon, Alto et Violoncelle

Josef Suk’s Piano Quartet (1874 1935) quickly became a standard work not least as a result of the extensive concerts given by the Bohemian Quartet in which Suk was second violinist. This is however the first scholarly-critical edition of this work. It is based largely on a revision of the first edition which contains Suk’s alterations of 1914 and appeared in 1924 on the first copy as well as on newly discovered copies of the parts. Valuable information has also been extracted from printed parts of which the original copies are now no longer extant.
