Carl Maria von Weber hat in den zehn Jahren, die zwischen der Silvana' und dem Freischutz' liegen, zwar keine abendfullende Oper, wohl aber mehr als 40 Konzertarien, Opernarien und Schauspielmusiken komponiert, deren Entstehungs- und Rezeptionsgeschichte einschliesslich der Quellenlage in diesem Band ausfuhrlich dokumentiert wird. Ausgehend von einer Analyse des Librettos und der Arien der Silvana' werden die Entwicklung der Arienform, die Auseinandersetzung mit der franzosischen Opera comique in Webers eigenen Bearbeitungen und die Funktion der Musik im Schauspiel untersucht und die gewonnenen Ergebnisse abschliessend auf den Freischutz' bezogen.

In diesem Lehrwerk wird der erklarende Text bewusst in den Vordergrund geruckt. Schuler und Lehrer werden umfassend uber didaktisch-methodische, musikalische und technische Fragen informiert. Die Ubungsstucke und Lieder - jeweils fur Horn in B und F beginnend im kleinsten Tonumfang mit systematischer Einfuhrung der Ventile - sollen den Spass am Hornblasen fordern. Theoretische Abhandlungen uber Ansatz, Atmung etc. sind an den Schluss gestellt, damit die praktischen Anleitungen fur den Anfanger nicht unterbrochen werden. Musikalische Grundkenntnisse werden aus zweierlei Grunden vorausgesetzt: Zum einen erweist es sich haufig, dass Hornschuler bereits in der musikalischen Fruherziehung das Notenlesen gelernt haben und zum anderen, dass bei vielen Horn das zweite Instrument ist, das sie spielen wollen. Im 2. Band findet sich geeignetes Unterrichtsmaterial sowie entsprechende Literatur, womit der gerade den Anfangsschwierigkeiten entwachsene Hornschuler seine Technik auf lockere und spielerische Weise stetig vervollkommnen kann. In allen 12 Tonarten gibt es leichtere und schwierigere Ubungen, die Lehrer und Schuler dem jeweiligen Ausbildungsstand entsprechend auswahlen konnen.

César Franck, composer, pianist, organist and music teacher, completed Cupid and Psyché, his sixth and last symphonic poem in 1887. It was first performed in Paris in 1888 and was a complete success, but the piece later fell completely into oblivion, and it was only thanks to some meticulous research that it has returned to concert halls. The intricate love affair between Psyche and Cupid is an original story of the Metamorphoseswritten in the 2nd century AD by Apuleius. The tale is about overcoming obstacles in love and their final union. The symphonic poem is divided into three parts and calls for a choir. The movement that is the subject of this arrangement, Psyché et Érosis positioned at the end of the second part. Franco Cesarini's version for wind orchestra carefully illustrates the nuances of the instrumental colours, and represents a real test aimed at demonstrating the musicality and interpretative skills of orchestras and their conductors.

De Italiaanse componist Giacomo Puccini (1858-1924) schreef een aantal indrukwekkende opera’s die hem wereldberoemd maakten - onder andere La Bohème, Tosca, Madama Butterfly en Turandot. ‘Nessun Dorma’ uit Turandot iseen van de bekendste tenoraria’s uit de wereld van de opera. De schitterende melodie komt in deze bewerking uitstekend tot haar recht.Turandot (1926) est un opéra posthume. Puccini décède en 1924, laissant son opéra incomplet. Turandot sera achevé par Franco Alfano d’après les esquisses du compositeur. Lyrique, somptueux et poignant, Nessun Dorma est devenu l’un des plus beaux airs d’opéra, un thème de prédilection pour les ténors les plus prestigieux, tels que Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo et Roberto Alagna.

Strauss's first tone poem distinguishes itself from all other subsequent orchestral compositions in its existence in three different versions. Even among the operas and other compositions in his hand there is no other work with a comparable history of origin and publication. What is more, the final version of Macbeth is the only valid form of the work and the only variant with further sources (cf. Critical Report) in addition to the autograph score. In contrast, the second version has only been preserved in an autograph score and autograph piano reduction (the orchestral parts which must have existed have obviously not survived). This was never printed and was replaced by the published third version. The two surviving versions should therefore not be considered to be of equal status. Unlike the case of Ariadne auf Naxos in which the earlier version was for a time the sole valid alternative and was yet never completely displaced by the soon dominating later version of the opera, only the final third version of Macbeth is considered as valid. Right from the outset, it was a matter of course for the editors of the present volume to include the second version as a first publication (in addition to the above-mentioned surviving pages of the first version), albeit in different forms. The surviving pages of the first version are reproduced in facsimile and the second version, as a subordinate form of the work, appears alongside Strauss's piano reduction in a modified source edition, i.e. without intervention on the part of the editors. The ultimate third version is published as a full edition (please refer to the Critical Report for further details). In order to facilitate a comparative study of the second and third versions, the relevant page numbers of the score are placed opposite one another (the autograph piano reduction of the second version is included at the end of the music section of the volume). The editors hope that this synoptic representation will prompt interest in further studies on Strauss's art of orchestration: a field of research which has still remained insufficiently examined. A study of Macbeth namely illuminates as clearly as could be wished how much significance Strauss allotted to sound alongside form. The subjects were not merely intended to generate an individual figure, but also specific tonal colours, and the instrumentation was simultaneously designed to provide an optimal communication of thematic-motivic texture to the audience. The 'new path' threw up consequences which caused Strauss a considerable amount of difficulty. He was however a fast learner and had already swum free with Don Juan and all the more with Tod und Verklarung.

A bold and invigorating first movement, a mysterious and tender second movement and a third movement with several mood shifts from lyrical to highly rhythmical. In 1971, Lane wrote his Piano Sonata 3 for piano. For whom this piece was intended remains unknown. Karl Tricomi, a student of Lane’s and also a graduate of the Eastman School of Music, performed its world premiere five years later in 1976 at Carnegie Hall (NY), in an all-Lane piano recital. This is the only documented performance of this piece. In 1971, Lane only composed another three pieces which were for tenor saxophone and wind band, soprano voice and piano and a trio for violin, cello and piano, which was dedicated to Paul Van Ness, the dedicatee of Piano Sonata 2.
