Male Trio

The volume contains selected transcriptions from well-known sets that Bartók wrote for children and young people: For Children, Children's and Female Choruses, 44 Duos and Mikrokosmos. Some are based on folk melodies and some on original themes. The volume consists of 15 pieces. The collections serve to draw music students into the realm of a great genius of 20th-century music, while concurrently introducing them to the basic techniques of playing chamber music. / 3 Flûtes

Soprano Arias Duet WoO 93 Trio op. 116-The vocal works collected in this volume were composed for very different occasions. Several of them were tailor-made for female singers of Beethoven?s acquaintance; with others he was trying his hand at Italian opera (under theguidance of none other than Antonio Salieri). In addition to core repertoire pieces such as ?Ah! perfido? op. 65 the volume also contains unknown treasures such as ?No non turbarti? ?Ma tu tremi o mio tesoro?? ascene and aria which Beethoven revised several times. In our edition based on the Beethoven Complete Edition the last version of the aria is made available for musicians for the firsttime.Contents:'Erste Liebe Himmelslust' / 'Primo amore piacer del ciel' Aria for Soprano and Orchestra WoO92'Soll ein Schuh nicht dr?cken' Aria for Soprano and Orchestra WoO 91/2'Ah!perfido' - 'Per piet? non dirmi addio' Scena and Aria for Soprano and Orchestra op. 65'No non turbarti' - 'Ma tu tremi o mio tesoro?'

Mit ?Le comte Ory' erscheint der fünfte Band aus der vielbeachteten Reihe ?Works of Gioachino Rossini'. Nach seiner Uraufführung in Paris feierte das Werk große Erfolge an den europäischen Bühnen des 19. Jahrhunderts. Die turbulente Komödie um den Grafen Ory, der sich mit seinen wüsten Kumpanen Zutritt zu einem Nonnenkloster verschafft, ist eines von Rossinis effektvollsten Meisterwerken.Der Herausgeber Damien Colas legt in Zusammenarbeit mit dem ?Center for Italian Opera Studies Chicago' eine kritische Neuausgabe vor, die unter Heranziehung einer Vielzahl von Quellen einen originalen Text des Werkes präsentiert, der in vielen Fällen von der bislang erklungenen Überlieferung abweicht. So konnten originale Besetzungen, formale Verläufe und zahlreiche fragliche Lesarten wieder hergestellt bzw. korrigiert werden. / Opéra
