L?histoire de la genèse de la 4e Symphonie remonte probablement aux années 1870, alors que Brahms travaillait sur la cantate de Bach «Nach dir, Herr, verlanget mich», dont le thème de la chaconne préfigure la cellule du final.

Autour du 29 août 1885, Brahms écrivit à Hans von Bülow depuis Mürzzuschlag dans le Steiermark: «J?ai là quelques entr?actes ? ce que l?on a coutume de réunir sous le nom de symphonie. [?] Je crains [?] qu?elle a le goût du climat local ? ici les cerises ne mûrissent pas.» Aucune trace de cerises «amères» dans cette symphonie. L?oeuvre est aujourd?hui un des sommets de la symphonie classique-romantique.

Notre Studien-Edition tout à fait maniable et à un prix abordable se base sur le texte de l?édition complète des oeuvres de Johannes Brahms (HN 6015). / [Symphonie n° 4 en mi mineur op. 98] / Classique / Partition de poche / Cartonné / Plats de carton /

D'une durée de plus de quarante minutes et composée en 1858-59 pour une grande formation comprenant cors, trompettes et timbales, la Sérénade en Ré majeur de Johannes Brahms caresse le genre de la symphonie. Pourtant l'opus 11 de ce compositeur alors en plein essor avait tout d'abord commencé par quatre mouvements pour 'petit orchestre', avant de prendre la forme de la 'Sinfonie-Serenade' que nous connaissons aujourd'hui. Notre Studien-Edition offre non seulement la partition critique de l'édition complète des oeuvres de Brahms, mais également une préface détaillée, dans laquelle l'éditeur Michael Musgrave commente la genèse compliquée de cette première grande oeuvre pour orchestre de Johannes Brahms. / Piano 4 Mains

Aulis Sallinen was born in 1935 in Salmi on the northern shore of Lake Ladoga (which the Soviet Union claimed in 1944). His early musical experience was playing the violin. Improvising (including jazz) on the piano led him to write his first compositions as a teenager. After studying with Aarre Merikanto and Joonas Kokkonen at the Sibelius Academy he joined the staff there. He was Administrator of the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra (1960-69); Secretary and member of the Board (1958-73) then Chairman (1971-73) of the Finnish Composers' Society; member of the board of TEOSTO (Finnish copyright society) from 1970-84 then Chairman from 1988-90; he also served for severalyears on the Board of the Finnish National Opera.Here is the Facsimile of the Sixth Symphony that was composed over 1989-1990 and commissioned and first performed by the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra.

Wie Schön Leuchtet Der Morgenstern (How Bright And Fair The Morning Star) BWV 1. Cantata for the Feast of Annunciation Day.The cantata ? Wie Schön Leuchtet Der Morgenstern? BWV 1 was written for 25 March 1725 when the Feast of the Annunciation of the Blessed Mary coincided with Palm Sunday. It forms the conclusion of Bach?s cantata cycle of 1724/25.The anonymous librettist retained the outer verses 1 and 7 of Philipp Nicolai?s text (1599) which is assigned to the feast of Epiphany according to old tradition but was also sung at the Annunciation of the Blessed Mary. Verses 2 to 6 form the basis for the Tenor and Bassrecitatives and the Soprano and Tenor arias.Bach?s composition has a particularly festive brilliance with his use of 2 Horns 2 Oboes Da Caccia and the two concertante solo Violins. The Violins? lively figurations clearly reflect an image of the shining morning star.- Urtext of the New Bach Edition.- Original German text with English singing translation.- Idiomatic and easy-to-play Piano reduction.- Performance material (BA10001) vocal score (BA10001-90) & study score (TP1001) available for sale.

In 1832 the Royal Philharmonic Society of London honoured the young German composer Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy with several commissions. One of the works composed as a result was the A major symphony the ?Italian? based on Mendelssohn?s experiences in Italy in 1830 and 1831. The work was premiered in 1833 conducted by the composer.Today the Italian Symphony has a firm place in the canon of classical masterworks though at its premiere and both the following performances the work was not entirely positively received.Mendelssohn himself was unhappy with it. In 1834 he revised the last three movements but didnot complete this revision. To this day the early version of the ?Italian? is the one played everywhere whilst the revised version has remained to a large extent unknown. Bärenreiter?s critical new edition edited by Christopher Hogwood includes all the performance material for the complete version of 1833 together with the last three movements in the composer?s revised version. Conductors can now choose between the early and revised versions; the revised one includes the first movement from the early version.- A famous work for the Mendelssohn anniversary year in a new Urtext edition.- With the well-known early version and the composer?s revised version.- Includes an informative foreword in English and German.- With facsimile pages.- Full score & performance material (BA9094) available for sale.

J.S. Bach?s four Orchestral Suites belong to that select group of works one could truly call classical hits! They stem from Bach?s extremely productive time in Cöthen which ended in 1721.Unfortunately the only sources that have come down to us are copyist parts from Leipzig. These originally formed the basis for the critical complete edition volume which was published in 1967 as part of the ?New Bach Edition?.At that time Bärenreiter also issued separate scores and parts which however were prepared with additional articulation and performance suggestions. Bärenreiter?s new edition of Bach?s great four suites now presents the Urtext as found in the ?New BachEdition? i.e. without emendations and performance suggestions. The orchestral parts have been re-engraved and the material includes an alternative version of the Overture and Air to the D major suite BWV 1068 including a ?Violino concertato? part.Urtext editions of these important works.Newly engraved parts and fully realized continuo.For the first time an alternative version of the Overture and Air to the D major suite BWV 1068 with ?

Création 26/08/2015 - Sion (Suisse) - Finale du Concours International de violon Tibor Varga - Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne Commanditaire Concours International de violon Tibor Varga Notice Le futurisme italien fut, au début du XXe siècle, le premier véritable mouvement d'avant-garde qui, en Europe, refusa l'art dans sa totalité, décréta l'abolition du passé et prétendit rénover tous les aspects de la vie humaine en cherchant à exprimer la nature et les problèmes du monde moderne. Le mouvement fut inauguré par Marinetti en 1909, suivi un an plus tard du manifeste de la peinture futuriste signé par Giacomo Balla, Carlo Carrà, Umberto Boccioni et Luigi Russolo. La bataille futuriste, qui mobilisa le vif de l'art italien de 1910 à 1916, naquit d'une violente polémique contre la tradition figurative et la conception de l'image-spectacle. La philosophie futuriste, nourrie d'élan vital, d'utopie machiniste et d'ardeur dionysiaque entendait dynamiter la culture antiquaire de l'Italie officielle. Marinetti exalte la vitesse, le mouvement, le bruit, la guerre. Mais aussi la pulsion, la déraison, la transgression, le débridement des ambitions et des désirs humains. Le caractère novateur et visionnaire du futurisme italien fut toutefois passablement terni par ses imprécations et ses fourvoiements politiques. Laissant de côté l'orientation réactionnaire du mouvement et son esprit de clocher extrémiste, on retiendra, parmi les traits les plus originaux du futurisme pictural, la recherche de la représentation du mouvement, avant l'invention du cinéma et avant l'art cinétique. S'inspirant des séquences photographiques d'Eadward Muybridge et de la chronophotographie d'Etienne-Jules Marey, les futuristes italiens sont parvenus à un incontestable degré de réussite dans le domaine proprement plastique. Le processus du devenir est représenté comme tel, et se déploie selon des lignes de force et des formes en croissance. La couleur est également saisie dans son dynamisme, avec ses foyers et ses aires de diffusion. Dans Le mani del violinista, une huile sur toile de 1912 aujourd'hui à Londres, Giacomo Balla s'est également livré à un exercice de synesthésie, cherchant à transposer en images un processus qui fait appel à d'autres modalités sensorielles. Le geste du violoniste, le placement de l'instrument à hauteur d'épaule, les mouvements combinés de la main et du bras, l'écartement et l'échelle d'appui des doigts de la main gauche, la mise en vibration des cordes, l'élan et le rebondissement de l'archet, sa vivacité et son exactitude, tous ces facteurs qui d'ordinaire demeurent imperceptibles et indissociables sont ainsi décomposés, puis réunis et rendus en une impression unique. Les mouvements successifs de la main et les morsures d'archet se séparent selon des procédés pointillistes, puis s'assemblent en une séquence accélérée et se lient dans le même fondu qui restitue l'unité et les inflexions de la tension musculaire. Ce qui est donné à voir n'est pas une illustration réaliste ni une nomenclature des possibilités instrumentales mais un condensé des allures de l'exécution transcendante, montrant les réflexes d'une main rompue au mécanisme de son instrument. Ma propre version musicale de la toile de Giacomo Balla s'inspire des caractères de cette vision futuriste de l'art. La virtuosité même de l'instrumentiste, son habileté d'exécutant, est ici expressément représentée comme un art de l'art. La partition porte une attention aigüe à la technique spécifique de l'effet sonore, à la justesse du geste instrumental dans la dépense de l'archet et la souplesse des déplacements. La grande école des violonistes consistait à faire disparaître le manteau rugueux des aspérités naturelles de l'instrument sous une surface lisse et parfaite de sonorités épurées. Ce grand art évolue aujourd'hui sous la pression d'une esthétique contemporaine plus sensible au grain, aux effets de texture voire aux effets raboteux de l'archet. Un autre type de virtuosité se fait jour, qui intègre les coups d'archets, les accents, les sons dénaturés, dans une sorte de formalisme instrumental pris au second degré. Les interférences entre les différents modes de jeu importent plus désormais que leur intégration dans une sonorité optimale. Cet art insatiable ne recherche plus la magnificence mais l'épreuve. La partition se divise en trois grandes parties. La première est une cadence confiée au soliste, centrée sur les accords, la rythmique et les enjambements d'une articulation qui ne se plie pas aux divisions métriques de la mesure. La seconde partie est l'enfer des violonistes et met aux prises, parmi toutes les cordes de l'orchestre, des figures contrapuntiques hachées, heurtées et contrastées. La troisième partie est davantage tournée vers des études d'équilibre de sonorités, dont la cohérence est délicate à obtenir car les notes se situent dans des registres extrêmes ou paradoxaux. Le soliste est confronté à un type nouveau de virtuosité, celui des sons harmoniques - groupes d'harmoniques naturels ou artificiels. Commande du Concours International de Violon Tibor Varga Sion Valais, la partition est écrite pour l'Edition 2015 de ce Concours. L'oeuvre est dédiée à Enzo Restagno. Hugues Dufourt
