Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. Après la parution au début des années 2017 et 2019 respectivement des volumes IV et III de la série intégrale des quatuors à cordes de Mozart aux éditions Urtext de Henle, l'expert de Mozart Wolf-Dieter Seiffert propose maintenant - en partition et parties séparées - le volume II. Y sont contenus, sous les numéros Köchel 168 à 173, les 'Frühe Wiener Quartette' (les 'Quatuors viennois des premières années') de l'année 1773. Des annotations du père Leopold portées dans les manuscrits autographes laissent à penser par ailleurs que la réunion de ces six oeuvres en une seule série de quatuors est de son fait. Pour ce qui est de la chronologie de la conception de ces pièces, Wolf-DieterSeiffert révèle dans sa préface des éléments totalement nouveaux. En outre, il parvient à corriger les inexactitudes figurant jusqu'ici dans les nuances et les articulations, afin de présenter un nouveau texte musical parfaitement sûr. Accompagné artistiquement par le Quatuor Armida, le volume II fait lui aussi office de référence pour les quatuors à cordes dans l'édition Mozart!

Three arrangements including Ave Verum Corpus and the Lacrimosa from the Requiem.During the year 1771 when Mozart was 15 years old he and his father Leopold were touring Italy which was at that time the most formidable citadel of the music world. In the following four years the young Mozart was received at the homes and villas of Italy's aristocracy. He met the most famous musicians of the time including Niccolo Piccinni operatic rival to Gluck and Padre Martini from whom he was to benefit from studies in counterpoint. He also met many noted male soprano singers and for one the celebrated Venanzio Rauzzini he wrote in 1773 the motet Exsultate Jubilate from whichcomes the well known Alleluia.At the end of his life only 19 years later in Vienna 1791 Mozart was very ill and working on a number of massive works such as the operas The Magic Flute and Titus also the Requiem. Titus was completed in 18 nerve-shattering days as it had to be performed in Prague in September 1791. At its premiere it was a complete flop. This affected the now overworked almost penniless composer's spirit and he returned to Vienna suffering from mental and physical exhaustion. Rest was denied him. The Magic Flute had to be finished for its premier on September 30th 1791. The task of the Requiem still faced him. In this weakened state Mozart thought that he was in fact writing his own requiem reading evil omens into the commissioning of the work. He thought someone had calculated the precise time of his death and was thus troubled with sombre thoughts. He completed the first two of the twelve parts. The next six parts were in an unfinished state and his manuscript ceased at the Lacrimosa. Süssmayer who was working closely with Mozart at the time was given the task of finishing the Requiem.Ave Verum Corpus is also one of his final works. It is a setting of an anonymous hymn written as a motet for Anton Stoll the choirmaster at Baden in June 1791.Mozart was a composer of great genius who

Best Loved Stringquartets. A popular genre in the 18th century, divertimenti offered listeners a lighthearted diversion at social functions. Mozart wrote these three pieces for string quartet in Salzburg in 1772. The three-movement Italian-style compositions require only wind parts to assume another form, hence their common description as the Salzburg Symphonies. Students, teachers, and professional string players will prize this authoritative collection of three divertimenti plus three additional quartets by the ever-popular composer. This convenient single-volume version is the least expensive edition available of these works, and its sturdy binding allows pages to remain open on music stands, promising years of use and enjoyment.
