Dvorák wrote a total of four works for piano trio. The second Piano Trio in G minor op. 26 (1876) represents a conception of the form typical of the composer. At the same time, it documents the transition from his experimental phase to the emergence of his characteristic style which partly involved the return to definite form and thematic clarity. The main source for this present edition was the first printed edition (1880).

These sonatas are among the epoch-making works of the violin repertoire and nowadays figure in the standard repertoire of every violinist. It is all the more surprising, therefore, that until now there has been no Urtext edition of such significant works. The score is based on a first edition supervised by Corelli himself. From what we know of performance practice in Corelli’s time, however, more was expected of the violinist than just a musical reading of the printed score: it was customary to add ornamentation verging on improvisation, with embellishment and “variations as desired”. The original score is therefore presented here with the earliest documented ornamentation from a reprint published by Roger in Amsterdam in 1708. This ornamentation is not meant to be slavishly imitated, but to stimulate the player to find their own creative and stylistically confident interpretation of the score. As Roger did not specify any ornaments for the sonatas in the second volume, the “variations as desired” used by Corelli’s pupil Geminiani have been reproduced with the ninth Sonata as an example. Advice on performance is given by the Cologne baroque specialist Reinhard Goebel. This advice does not only apply to ornamentation, but also to articulation, bowings and more besides, calling for specific markings in the separate violin part. The realisation of the continuo part echoes the fashions of that time. Here too, advice on performance is meant to stimulate free interpretation by the continuo player. A figured bass part is included for the player who prefers to read the accompaniment from figures.

A new, corrected edition of an important and substantial work which has been constructed from the existing set of parts by Russell Denwood. It was written in 1895 when the composer was still a student at the Royal College of Music. His composition teacher, Charles Villiers Stanford, was so impressed by the piece that he took it with him on a visit to Berlin in 1897, where he arranged for the Joachim Quartet to play it. It was published in 1902, but no score appears to exist and the parts required corrections to be made. For Clarinet in A, 2 Violins, Viola and Cello. A reduction for clarinet and piano is also available (EME651).

As with all of his mature chamber music works Ravel also emerges as an innovator of traditional forms and techniques in his piano trio, composed in 1914. Thus the “Passacaglia” movement corresponds to the underlying form of the Baroque Period. The music on the other hand was, according to Ravel, “like that of Saint-Saëns”, which was surely meant ironically. For the historicizing template only served as a framework for experiments with musical idiom: from a constant oscillation between major and minor to combinations and overlaying of the most diverse metres. The fingering for our edition of this technically extremely demanding work was provided by the renowned French pianist Pascal Rogé.

Written in 1823, this magical 'double' concerto was composed in three-movement form (Allegro-Adagio-Allegro molto) and represents an unusual concerto pairing. It is pure Mendelssohn at its best! The central Adagio movement is a wonderful "Song Without Words." Features many solo passages for each soloist, to beautiful effect. Not to be missed! Includes an authoritative performance edition of the violin score, edited by Mario Hossen and newly engraved and printed on high-quality ivory paper.

These two seminal violin sonatas sit atop Beethoven's compositions for the instrument, and indeed of all violin works. Presented here in pristine new performances with Mario Hossen and Sung-Suk Kang.

Score and parts. Composed 1950. 40 pages. Duration 8 minutes. Published by Schott Music (SD.49008314). ISBN 9790001126267. Bis zu seiner Berufung als Kompositionslehrer an die Kolner Musikhoch-schule 1957 musste sich Bernd Alois Zimmermann einen wesentlichen Teil seines Lebensunterhaltes durch Bearbeitungen fremder Werke und durch Horspielmusiken fur den Rundfunk verdienen. Darunter fallen auch die hier aufgefuhrten Vier Bearbeitungen, die fur das im WDR in Koln damals sehr beliebte Ellegiers- Sextett bestimmt waren. Zimmermann schatzte den Konzertmeister Ellegiers wegen seiner hohen Musikalitat und bearbeitete von 1949-52 fast zwanzig Stucke fur dessen Ensemble. Die drei Schubert- Bearbeitungen "Sehnsuchtswalzer", "Landler" und "Moment musicaux" sowie die der "Traumerei" aus den Kinderszenen op. 15 von Robert Schumann zeigen, warum diese Werke im Programm des Senders ausserordentlich popular waren.

Published by Schott Music (SD.49008206). ISBN 9790001124003. Der lettische Komponist gilt in Streicherkreisen schon langer als Geheimtipp wegen der sonoren Klangwelt seiner modalen, leicht von aleatorischen Elementen durchsetzten Schreibart. Bekannt sind Werke wie "Cantabile per Archi" oder "Musica dolorosa", neu das von Gidon Kremer bestellte Violinkonzert "Fernes Licht". Umfangreich ist inzwischen auch die Gattung Streichquartett vertreten. Bereits erhaltlich ist das 2. Streichquartett "Sommerweisen" (ED 8512). Das "3. Streichquartett", eine "Musica adventus", wurde bereits uraufgefuhrt, aus der Begeisterung heraus ein 4. Quartett bestellt.

The songs are joined to each other by specially composed intermezzi which attempt - with refer-ence to the thematic material of the songs - to re-interpret Mendelssohn's idiom for our time. '... oder soll es Tod bedeuten' ist the final work in Reimann's series of adaptions of 19th-century songs for voice and string quartet. Franz Schubert's 'Mignon' (ED 8466) has already been published. All these cycles have been recorded by Juliane Banse and the Cherubini Quartet and are available on CD (TUD 7063).
