String Trio

Par REGER MAX. Les deux trios à cordes de Max Reger font partie, côté du « divertimento » en mi bémol majeur K. 563 de Mozart et des trio à cordes op. 9 de Beethoven, des oeuvres majeures du genre. Tant pour le style que pour l‘ambition, Reger se réfère ici ces grands maîtres de la musique classique qu'il vénérait tant. Les deux trios portent l'empreinte du classique- ils plaisent de par leur caractère détendu, parfois même enjoué. Rien d‘étonnant que leur création (1904 et 1915) ait remporté un tel succès. Michael Kube, spécialiste de Reger, a réalisé cette édition sur la base de l'autographe et de la première édition. En même temps que cette édition des parties instrumentales, Henle publiedans le cadre de la collection «Studien-Edition» (HN 9722) l'édition de la partition. / Partition brochée / Répertoire / Duo de Cordes et Trio de Cordes

10 Intermediate-Level Arrangements. Par DIVERS AUTEURS (ARR.BROOKER DAVID). Since graduating from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, David Brooker has been a performer on the viola and a music educator with a special interest in using ensemble music in instrumental teaching. His first two books, 'Stringplay” and 'Stringplay Around the World” reflected this, providing resources for elementary string orchestra and now 'String Trios from Around the World” takes the idea to the smaller ensemble of violin, viola and cello. This book of folk music from four continents, with an emphasis on love songs, keeps to the spirit of the original pieces while making the music idiomatic and fun to play. The parts are equal in difficulty (easy to intermediate) - in fact, David says that, as a violist himself, he has made sure that the violinist doesn't get all the tunes! The arrangements include a few unusual techniques but David promises they are not as hard as they look or sound./ Recueil / Trio à Cordes
