With marked and unmarked string part-In 1873 following the rejection of his opera 'The King and the Charcoal Burner' Anton n Dvorák reached somewhat of a turning point in his career. Inspired to give his compositions a new direction he started to writepieces such as his String Quartet In F Minor Op. 9 in a new style that was less orientated towards Wagner. However much to his disappointment this new style was rejected by musicians. Notwithstanding this painful experienceDvorák gave the slow movement of the quartet a second chance reworking it as a Romance For Violin Or Orchestra In F Minor. It was first performed in 1877 to great acclaim. The fingerings and bowings byAntje Weithaas lend the Henle Urtext Edition of this jewel of Violin literature a special touch.

Brahms composed his ?Violin Sonata In A Major? during the summer of 1886. The work quickly became part of the standard repertoire and has remained so until today. It is presented here in a fine Bärenreiter Urtext edition and comes with an unmarked Urtext part as well as a second part marked with fingering and bowing by Clive Brown which are based on the practices of Brahms? contemporaries.An important part of this edition is the extensive preface. Firstly it informs about the works? origins its compositional process pre-publication performances its publication history as well as early reception. Truly remarkable is theunique Performance Practice Commentary. Here the editors take the premise that already a few decades after Brahms? death a widening gulf developed between the composer?s expectations and the performance practices of the early 20th century. In a very concrete and practical way the editors summarize some of the key issues in understanding Brahms? notation with regard to rhythm and timing dynamics and accentuation dots and strokes slurring and non legato Piano pedalling and overholding Piano arpeggiation and dislocation string instrument fingering string instrument harmonics and vibrato. In this way the edition offers an exciting and often surprising insight in Romantic musical interpretation.A pioneering Urtext edition.With an unmarked Urtext part.With a second part including fingering and bowing based on the practices of Joseph Joachim and other contemporaries of Brahms.With an extensive Performance Practice Commentary.For further information on Romantic performance practice we recommend: ?Performance Practices in Johannes Brahms?

Harp Solo-The solo Harp part for Per Nørgård's Gennem Torne / Through Thorns (2003) Harp Concerto No. 2 - Passage for Harp Solo with Flute Clarinet and String Quartet.Premiered by Tine Rehling (Harp) and the Esbjerg Ensemble conducted by Kaisa Roose at the Concert Hall of the Western Jutland Academy of Music Esbjerg 28th January 2004.Programme Note THROUGH THORNS has a duration of about 20 minutes in one continuous movement thus the subtitle 'passage'. The work is scored for harp solo flute clarinet and string quartet. The title is borrowed from the lines from an old Virgin Mary Hymn: 'Marywanders through thorns' a hymn which ends with the following line: 'then roses grew forth amongst the thorns'. I only came across the poem after finishing the composition the 'passage' of which is a journey of sometimes dramatic events concluding with a 'rose-blooming' as does the hymn. For THROUGH THORNS to borrow its title from a Virgin Mary Hymn has to do with the musical material and current of the piece which brings motives from an earlier choral piece of mine FLOS UT ROSA (Latin for 'a flower like a rose') and the rose in question is of course the one which grew forth when the Virgin Mary gave birth to the Infant Jesus in a hitherto unheard-of fashion a NOVA GENITURA (new birth) which is the title of another work of mine that also derives its material from my original 'rose'-melody from 1975. THROUGH THORNS is dedicated to Tine Rehling and together with her I have tried to expand the sonorities of the harp by exploring existing techniques and their more remote regions in order to gain access to new territory and new soundscaoes as realised by the constantly experimentally-minded and virtuoso player. Per Nørgård 2004.
