String Quartet No.3 was written for and first performed by the Balanescu Quartet February 1990 at the Queen Elizabeth Hall London. Duration 16 minutes. A score is available on sale..Quoting composer: In the summer of 1989 Icomposed a choral work Out of the Ruins for Agnieszka Piotrowska’s BBC2 documentary which dealt with the physical and emotional responses of some inhabitants of Leninakhan to the earthquake which devastated Armenia theprevious December. When he heard the recording of the work that I made with the Holy Echmiadzin Chorus under the fervent conducting of Khoren Meykhanejian Alex Balanescu suggested turning Out of the Ruins into a string quartet. There seemed no reason or opportunity to do this until I felt the need to add to the intensity of my experiences in Armenia the no less profound experience of witnessing the images of the Romanian revolution on television duringthe later part of December 1989.The compositional procedure was as follows: to take Out of the Ruins as a template on which the Romanian vocal or instrumental music would be superimposed quite often stretched into newintervallic shapes though the demands of the completely performed harmonic structure.

Reduction for viola and piano-William Walton composed his Viola Concerto in 1928-9 and it was given its premiere at a Promenade Concert at Queen's Hall London on 3rd October 1929. In the beginning Viola players adjusted the solo line to fit their own ideas of the work's character and Walton was generally happy to accomodate this. However he came to regard one player's version above all the others for its discipline and balance - that of Frederick Riddle. Riddle's edition was originally published with a Piano reduction of the first Orchestration in 1938 and it is this that forms that basis for the solo line in this edition. This present Piano reduction was made by Geoffrey Pratleyand published in 1993.

String Quartet No.4 was written for the Camilli Quartet who gave the first performance at the Queen Elizabeth Hall London April 1995. It is dedicated to the memory of Nyman's composition teacher Alan Bush. Duration 40 minutes.A score is available for sale.

He studied under Wood and Stanford at Cambridge and the Royal College of Music where he met and drew inspiration from Vaughan Williams Holst Howells and Goossens. He was appointed Master of the Queen’s Music in 1953 and wrote music for many state occasions including the Coronation and the Funeral of Winston Churchill.

The Phantasy written when the composer was twenty for the Cobbett prize at the Royal College of Music. The piece demonstrates a confidence and flair as well as an emerging sense of the distinctive Arnold style.Grade: 8

The first movement of Mozart's second clarinet quintet-Mozart's Sonata Allegro For Clarinet And String Quartet is certainly an exciting addition to the Clarinet repertoire. The first movement of Mozart's projected Second Clarinet Quintet the 'fragment' that is the basis of this work had been known about for many years and was always considered a trial run for the great K581; however recent dating has shown the two pages of manuscript date from after the Clarinet Quintet.The distinguished Mozart scholar Timothy Jones has proved this to be the beginning of a response to the popularity of K581. It was only as a result of his early death that the workremained incomplete. Jones has completed the work using his deep knowledge of late Mozart and we have now a very important new addition to the Clarinet Quintet repertoire.

26 Easy Pieces from 4 Centuries. Les pièces, qui conviennent non seulement aux jeunes, mais également aux adultes débutants, sont adaptées, dans leur diversité stylistique, aussi bien pour des concerts que pour des représentations dans un cadre sacré. Alors que certaines des pièces ont été composées par les compositeurs pour l'écriture pour cordes à quatre voix, l'éditeur utilise également des oeuvres pour piano qu'il a arrangées - aussi proches que possible de l'original - pour quatuor à cordes. / Niveau : 2 / Recueil / Quatuor à Cordes
