The international acknowledged Beethoven-scientist Jonathan Del Mar became engaged with the outstanding work cycle of chamber music Beethovens six string quartets opus 18. His new Bärenreiter-Urtext-Edition is not only based on

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

Deux nouvelles ?uvres de Beethoven furent donn?es pour la premi?re fois ? Vienne au printemps 1804 lors de deux repr?sentations priv?es pour le prince Lobkowitz. Il s?agit de sa 3e symphonie op. 55 et du triple concerto op. 56 pour piano violon violoncelle et orchestre. M?c?ne et grand amateur d?art Lobkowitz eut ainsi l?opportunit? de d?couvrir deux ?uvres fra?chement compos?es tandis que ces auditions permettaient ? Beethoven de proc?der ? quelques am?liorations avant impression. La premi?re repr?sentation publique du triple concerto n?eut vraisemblablement lieu que quatre ans plus tard en f?vrier 1808 au Gewandhaus de Leipzig. Depuis l??uvre appartient au r?pertoire deconcert habituel de tout orchestre symphonique. La r?duction pour piano de cette ?dition urtext s?appuie sur la partition de l??dition compl?te des ?uvres de Beethoven ?galement pr?par?e par Bernard van der Linde. La pr?face de l??diteur donne des informations d?taill?es sur l??tat des sources relativement complexe de ce concerto pour trois solistes.

String Quartet F major op. 135-Beethoven’s Op. 135 one of the last works he composed is equally famous for its compositional clarity and for the inadequacy of previous editions. The problem lies in the surviving sources forBeethoven’s autograph score contains a great many contradictions compared to his autograph set of parts. In 1827 after Beethoven’s death the German publisher of the first edition posthumously ironed out thesediscrepancies as he saw fit and later editions simply adopted his interventions. Rainer Cadenbach’s volume is the first attempt to produce an authoritative text for Op. 135. Beethoven’s contradictoryformulations are laid bare allowing musicians to make their own decisions.

Score and parts for Ludwig Van Beethoven's Piano Quartet In E Flat Op.16. For Piano Violin Viola and Cello. Edited by F.A. Roitzsch.

String Quartets complete Vol.1  contains a set of parts for Ludwig van Beethoven's Op.18 Nos.1–6 for String quartet.

Fragment-Ludwig van Beethoven wrote his Duo For Violin And Violoncello whilst he was still in Bonn perhaps in 1792 the year he departed for Vienna. It is not known whether he completed his work as only thebeginning of a fast sonata movement has survived. It is on a page in a collection of sketch leaves that is today known as the ?Kafka Miscellany?. Robert D. Levin has completed this fragment in the same style and thus for the firsttime it is in a version that can be performed.This Henle Edition contains two performance scores of the lively showpiece thus guaranteeing an optimal duo experience. A welcome addition to the repertoire.

Bien qu?ils ne constituent pas une unit? ferm?e du point de vue stylistique les cinq quatuors ? cordes de Beethoven r?unis dans ce volume sont g?n?ralement appel?s ?quatuors du milieu?. Plus de trois ans s?parent la composition des trois quatuors op. 59 (1806) et celle du quatuor op. 74 (1809/10). Les quatuors op. 59 contiennent quelques th?mes issus de chansons populaires russes ? un hommage au prince Razoumovski qui en ?tait le commanditaire ? qui leur valent ?galement l?appellation de ?quatuors russes?. Le quatuor suivant op. 74 en Mi b?mol majeur a lui aussi un surnom: en raison de quelques longs passages en pizzicato dans le premier mouvement il est souvent appel? ?quatuordes harpes?. Enfin le manuscrit autographe du quatuor en fa mineur op. 95 le d?signe comme ?quatuor serioso?. Tous ces quatuors sont des chefs-d??uvre de la maturit? du compositeur d?une grande com-plexit? technique et d?interpr?tation.

Par HYUNG-KI JOO RICHARD. Hyung-ki Joo composed his first string quartet for the graduation concert during his last term at the Yehudi Menuhin School in 1990. In it, he pays tribute to six different artists from music, painting and literature: Henry Purcell, Samuel Beckett, Ludwig van Beethoven, Edvard Munch, Johann Sebastian Bach and Arnold Schönberg.

C major-In Beethoven?s Triple Concerto a piano trio provides the soloists a first in the history of music. Beethoven?s treatment of the trio is pioneering: he does not apply a typical piano trio setting in contrast to the orchestra but varies his treatment of the solo parts allowing each instrument to play alone with the orchestra (particularly the cello) using two solo instruments together in ever new combinations and finally bringing together all three instruments with the orchestra. Beethoven weaves a complex web the orchestral piano violin and cello voices interplaying and entwining and he produces a true masterpiece.Bärenreiter?s new Urtext edition of Beethoven?sTriple Concerto is a completely fresh revision of this warm and beautiful showpiece. Errors abounded in all previous editions but with the assistance of three newly-discovered sources editor Jonathan Del Mar has cleaned up the text corrected wrong notes and rhythms and (for the first time since 1807) presented the work in a way that a musician of Beethoven?s day might have recognized with all necessary information for directing the piece included in the solo piano part.Piano reduction with separate parts for all three soloistsDraws on three new sourcesCorrection of many errors found in previous editions

String Trios op. 3 8 and 9 and String Duo WoO 32-Comme on peut le déduire de leurs numéros d?opus les cinq trios à cordes sont des ?uvres relativement précoces. Beethoven fit imprimer l?opus 3 au début de l?année 1796 et commença à écrire la sérénade op. 8 au cours de la même année bientôt suivie par les trois trios op. 9. Par la suite Beethoven abandonna ce genre et n?y revint plus. Ces cinq pièces sont pourtant du pur Beethoven et continuent à être volontiers régulièrement jouées. Dans le même volume figure le morceau désigné dans le manuscrit autographe comme un «duo avec deux lunettes obligées» que Beethoven destinait manifestement à deux amis atteints de myopie.

Beethoven?s three sets of cello variations comprise the ?Twelve Variations on a Theme from H?ndel?s Oratorio ?Judas Maccabeus?? (WoO 45) the ?Twelve Variations on the theme ?Ein M?dchen oder Weibchen?? (op.66) from Mozart?s opera ?Die Zauberfl?te? and the ?Seven Variations on the duet ?Bei M?nnern welche Liebe f?hlen??
