Par SCHUBERT FRANZ. Octet in F major Op. post. 166 D 803 for Clarinet (in B-flat), Bassoon, Horn, Violin (2), Viola, Violincello, Double Bass “I have done little new by way of lieder. In compensation I have tried my hand at several instrumental things, for I have composed two quartets for Violins, Viola and Violincello [A minor, D 804; D minor, D 810] and an octet [F major, D 803] and will write yet another quartet [not carried out]. Indeed, in this way I hope to prepare the way to the full-scale symphony. The latest news in Vienna is that Beethoven will give a concert [on 7 May 1824] . . . I too am inclined to give a similar concert next Year, God willing. ” Thus Schubert, writing on 31 March 1824 to his friend Leopold Kupelwieser in Rome, in a lengthy letter whose first section is decidedly low-spirited. In order to prepare the way to the full-scale symphony – by which he doubtless meant the genre as a whole rather than any specific work – he wrote string quartets and a large-scale piece of chamber music for strings and winds, taking Beethoven as his guide.

Pour cette composition, Schubert s'inspira du Septuor op. 20 de Beet­hoven, dont il reprit le caractère divertissant et la structure en six parties, en rajoutant seulement un deuxième violon à l'instrumentation. Dans une lettre, il fit figurer son octuor parmi les oeuvres de musique de chambre qui lui permettraient de se frayer 'la voie vers la grande symphonie'. On ne peut plus déterminer si la composition fut commandée par le comte Ferdinand Troyer, lequel tenait un salon musical à Vienne et jouait personnellement de la clarinette. En revanche, il est certain que Schubert composa l'oeuvre en quelques semaines au début de l'année 1824 et que la création eut lieu peu après chez Troyer. Elle figure aujourd'hui parmi les oeuvres les plus populaires pour les grands ensembles de musique de chambre. / Octuor A Vent

Franz Schubert's Impromptus Op. 90 (D 899) are among the most frequently played of his piano works and have become well-established in music lessons and in the concert repertoire. This Wiener Urtext Edition presents a new edition based on the latest research and performance practice. In this edition, numerous details have been added to the text and fundamental problems like the distinction between accents and crescendo hairpins or the adjustment of dotted rhythms to triplets are solved in a new and undogmatic way, closely following Schubert's original manuscript. Also new are the notes on interpretation by Robert D. Levin which look into even the most subtle shades of meaning of expression markings. Score image and page layout have been designed in a user-friendly way. / Piano

Par SCHUBERT FRANZ. Aucun amateur de musique ne peut se soustraire à la force expressive de cette oeuvre écrite par Schubert dans la dernière année de sa vie. Avec l’extraordinaire puissance des 1er et dernier mouvements, le caractère mélodieux, intime de l’«adagio», mais aussi le coloris exceptionnel de sa palette sonore, ce quintette est unique en son genre: à la formation instrumentale classique du quatuor à cordes vient s’ajouter un second violoncelle, qui occupe un rôle majeur dans le développement mélodique. Egon Voss, l’éditeur responsable de ce nouveau Urtext publié par Henle, rend non seulement compte scrupuleusement d’un état des sources passablement complexe, mais il ne néglige pas nonplus les exigences de la pratique musicale, proposant notamment de nouvelles solutions convaincantes pour les changements de page difficiles. ? / Partition brochée / Répertoire / Quintette avec Piano

Anton Bruckner (1824-1896). Par BRUCKNER ANTON. Anton Bruckner (b. 4.9.1824, Ansfelden, d. 11.10.1896, Vienna) didn’t have it easy. Throughout his life, the Austrian composer was plagued by self-doubt. Anton Bruckner came from a simple, rural background. After the death of his father, he was accepted as a choirboy at the monastery of Sankt Florian in 1837. After several years as a school assistant and his own organ and piano studies, he first worked as organist in St. Florian, then from 1855 as cathedral organist in Linz. Introduced to music theory and instrumentation by Simon Sechter and Otto Kitzler, he discovered Richard Wagner as an artistic role model, whom he admired throughout his life and also visited several times in Bayreuth. In 1868 Anton Bruckner became professor of basso continuo, counterpoint and organ at the Vienna Conservatory; ten years later court organist; and in 1891 finally honorary doctor of the University of Vienna. He was considered an important organ virtuoso of his era, but had to wait a long time for recognition as a composer. It was not until Symphony No.7 in E major, composed between 1881 and 1883, with the famous Adagio written under the effects of Wagner's death, that he achieved the recognition he had hoped for, even if he was reluctant to accept it given his inclination towards scepticism and self-criticism. Anton Bruckner was a loner who did not want to follow a particular school or doctrine. He composed numerous sacred vocal works, such as his three masses, the Missa Solemnis in B flat minor (1854), the Te Deum (1881-84) and numerous motets. As a symphonic composer, he wrote a total of nine symphonies and many symphonic studies from 1863 onwards, tending to revise completed versions several times over. Bruckner's orchestral works were long considered unplayable, but in fact were merely exceptionally bold for the tonal language of their time, uniting traditions from Beethoven through Wagner to folk music, on the threshold between late Romanticism and Modernism. Anton Bruckner composed about 40 motets during his lifetime, the earliest a setting of Pange lingua around 1835, and the last, Vexilla regis, in 1892. Thomas Doss has compiled some of these motets in this volume for symphonic wind orchestra. These motets show many characteristics of personal expression, especially Bruckner's colourful harmony in the earlier works, which is in places aligned with Franz Schubert (changes between major and minor; and movements in thirds). Later works are characterised by many components which, in addition to the expanded stature of the movements, include above all a sense of the instrumentation as an outward phenomenon and the harmony as a compositional feature that works more internally. Some aspects of Bruckner's work are the result of his long period of study, which familiarised him not only with the tradition of his craft, but also gave him insights into the 'modernity' of his time in such composers as Wagner, Liszt and Berlioz. From this developed his personal standpoint, which always pursues the connection between the old and the new. / Date parution : 2023-07-31/ Répertoire / Concert Band/Harmonie

Nach Texten Von Franz Schubert. Par HOLLIGER HEINZ. I was in the middle of a recording project featuring Franz Schubert’s complete symphonies and other orchestral works, when I received a request from Anna Lucia Richter asking if I could compose a companion piece for Schubert’s The Shepherd on the Rock. I was inspired by the movingly simple yet profoundly mysterious musical text Schubert had published by Robert Schumann under the title Reliquien [Relics], and a composition in three sections was born which oscillates between recitative-like sections and expansive ariosos. The beginning of Schubert’s enigmatic funeral march Franz Schuberts Begräbnis- Feyer [Franz Schubert’s funeral ceremony] for nine winds, written when Schubert was only 16, wanders like a phantom as a tonal shadow through the score.

The Complete Schwanengesang. Par LISZT FRANZ. The foremost pianist-composer of his day, Franz Liszt unselfishly promoted the works of his fellow composers through his brilliant piano transcriptions of their music. Among his most inspired contributions to the literature were his legendary transcriptions of Franz Schubert's songs. This volume, the third in the series, contains Schubert's complete Schwanengesang, and nine other great lieder. Reproduced from extremely rare early editions edited by Liszt himself, they retain all the lyric beauty and emotional depth of Schubert's original music, yet reflect Liszt's incomparable mastery of the difficult art of transcription from the original medium of voice and piano to that of solo piano.
