Hob. I:91-This four-movement work with a slow introduction is Haydn?s last symphony for ?Small? Orchestra i.e. without Trumpets and Timpani. However it has long passages for solo Violoncello and is also scored for two Bassoons.

The complete performance material for several of Haydn?s Sturm und Drang symphonies and all the London and Paris symphonies has already been published.- Based on the Henle Complete Edition of the Works of Joseph Haydn.- Orchestral parts in a large format (25.5 × 32.5 cm).- Full score & performance material (BA10978) available for sale.

Joseph Haydn's String Quartets Op.20 were composed in 1772 according to the date of the autographs. They are the last group in the series of string quartets with the opus numbers 9 17 20 composed a long time after the earlystring quartets in the years around 1770. Following these compositions several years were to pass before once again before Haydn wrote his next string quartets for a long while following completion of Op.20 does not necessarilyimply that he was having a 'crisis'; it might have had to do with the increasing load on Haydn occasioned by the regular performances at the Eszterhaza opera house leaving him with little time for other activities.

Joseph Haydn's Die Sieben Letze Worte Unseres Erlösers Am Kreuze. The Seven Last Words of Our Savior on the Cross' Op.51 In 1785 or '86 Haydn received a commission from the Canon of Cadiz for what would serve essentially as 'incidental' music for a Good Friday service (akin to the one centering upon The Stations of the Cross although there are twelve of those) in which the celebrant recites in turn each of Christ's utterances on the way to Calvary then gives a 'reflection' thereupon followed by music to accompany a brief interval of silent congregational prayer. To this Haydn added an introductory movement and a conclusiondepicting the earthquake that followed the passing of Jesus. The structure of the work then is: Introduction -- 'Father forgive them for they know not what they do.' -- Sonata 1 -- 'Verily I say unto thee today shalt thou be with me in Paradise.' -- Sonata 2 -- 'Woman behold thy son.' -- Sonata 3 -- 'My God my God why hast thou forsaken me?' -- Sonata 4 -- 'I thirst.' -- Sonata 5 -- 'It is finished.' -- Sonata 6 -- 'Father into thy hands I commend my spirit.' -- Sonata 7 -- Conclusion (Earthquake)

One of Haydn's most attractive concertos from the mid seventeenth century the Concerto For Violin In C has only recently been re-discovered. In this charming concerto the soloist is accompanied by a String Orchestra a scoring which can be easily mastered by amateur ensembles. This Urtext edition is taken from the Henle Complete Edition of the Works of Joseph Haydn.

Russian Quartets-Joseph Haydn's string quartet Op.33 occupy a special place amongst his works for quartet. After not having composed any string quartets for almost ten years this series written in 1781 marked the beginning of a long phase ofcontinuous work on the genre up to the last unfinished Quartet Op.103 in 1803.Moreover they are the first string quartets that we definitely know he wrote with publication in mind. A new contract of service in 1779 not onlypermitted the Kapellmeister at Prince Esterhazy's court to take on external commissions for compositions but also to arrange for the circulation of his works thus generating extra income.

Haydn 'Symphonie des adieux' est une des oeuvres les plus jouées du répertoire symphonique. Le titre populaire ne découle pas de l'auteur, mais se réfère au mouvement final, à l'issue de laquelle (Adagio) les musiciens arrêter de jouer l'un après l'autre, ne laissant que deux violons à la fin des travaux. Selon une anecdote, sortie des musiciens était un moyen de faire référence aux exigences du travail d'orchestre à Esterháza à la fin de la saison.La publication de Haydn 'Sturm und Drang' Symphonies - la symphonie des adieux et la Symphonie #48 (la soi-disant 'Maria Theresia' Symphony) - représente une continuation de la coopération entre Bärenreiter et la maison d'édition Henle pour les éditions des grandes oeuvres chorales , des opéras et des oeuvres symphoniques.Les publications sont basées sur le Henle 'édition complète des oeuvres de Joseph Haydn'.Les deux symphonies (BA BA 10971 et 10972) sera publiée avec une partition et les parties d'orchestre en vente dans un grand format. / Alto

Par PLEYEL IGNAZ. The Quintet in G minor belongs to the first group of three quintets written by Ignaz Pleyel in 1785 and published for the first time in 1786. Of all his quintets, it was the most frequently published one and was available in various editions even during Pleyel's lifetime. The modern character of this piece shows in the 'new kind' of compositional technique and elaboration of the themes, as presented by Joseph Haydn for the first time in 1781 in his String Quartets Op. 33. As with Haydn, the modern compositional style shows in the thematic work of the development which is mainly derived from the main theme. Particularly impressive is the elaboration of the theme by imitation, sequencing, shortening, rhythmic and tonal changes as well as by inversion./ Répertoire / 2 Violons, 2 Altos et Violoncelle

Après son déménagement à Vienne (1781) Mozart ne retourna qu?une seule fois à Salzbourg sa ville natale en l?occurrence en compagnie de sa jeune épouse Constanze de la fin juillet jusqu?à la fin octobre 1783. Ce séjour a laissé peu de traces et il semble que Mozart n?ait guère composé. Seuls deux délicieux duos pour violon et alto ont vu le jour au cours de ces quelques mois et semble-t-il uniquement par amitié pour le compositeur salzbourgeois Michael Haydn (frère cadet du grand Joseph Haydn) qui pour des raisons aiguës de santé ne pouvait répondre à une commande qui lui avait été faite. L?édition Urtext de Henle repose sur des autographes soigneusement copiés. Lapremière édition ? dont la valeur documentaire est contestée ? ne parut qu?en 1792 peu de temps après la mort de Mozart. En sus d?une partition complète de cette admirable page de musique de chambre intime la présente édition est assortie pour le confort des exécutants de parties séparées dépliables.

Introducing his new player-friendly edition of the Haydn Quartets Simon Rowland-Jones writes: 'There can be no such thing as a final perfect version; Haydn left too many questions open.' The new Peters Edition is founded upon this honest assessment. By heightening our awareness of the questions that remain 'open' this edition liberates the interpretative inspiration of performers as never before. As a result the new edition is likely to become indispensable for all who perform or study these masterpieces. Each volume includes: Full Score – included with the parts for the first time – invaluable for performance preparationFold-out Pages – as required in the separate parts eliminating all page-turns within movements Guidance for Performers – as well as giving historical background to the quartets the prefaces to each volume contain a treasure trove of information about all aspects of performance practice Critical Commentary – in the extensive Critical Commentary to each volume the most authoritative early sources for Haydn's quartets are carefully evaluated and full details of their variant readings given for comparison. Naturally the composer's autograph where extant assumes pre-eminence but alternative primary sources are also considered and secondary sources drawn upon where appropriate.
