Par HAENDEL GEORG FRIEDRICH. The conductor and Keyboard player Christopher Hogwood has edited the new edition of Music For The Royal Fireworks. The edition is the result of thorough revision and correction based on the source material. During this process, some incorrect notes were corrected, and in particular, the Viola part was revised. Misunderstood instructions from Handel relating to the colla parte coupling of the Viola with the second Oboe, as in the overture or with the bass parts, have been reassessed. Doubling with other parts resulted in passages, which were too high or too low: these have now been rectified and a part suited to the range of the viola has been madepossible. - New critical edition based on new sources. - Detailed Prefaces (Ger/Eng). - Urtext of the “Halle Handel Edition”. - Full score, performance material (BA4299) and study score (TP373) available for sale./ Répertoire / Partition de Poche

a 6 et a 8. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. The Serenade in E-flat, K. 375, exists in two versions, one for two clarinets, two horns and two bassoons, and another for the same forces plus two oboes, forming an octet. From Mozart himself we know a fair amount about the occasion that led to the first, six-instrument version of this work and about its early performances. Written for the sister-in-law of the court painter Hickl, it probably originated toward the end of September or the beginning of October in 1781 and was first performed on 15 October, the name-day of St. Theresa. The octet version probably arose in the summer of the following year. It is far more than a mechanical expansion of the sextetwith the oboes merely reinforcing the clarinets colla parte. Not only did Mozart take advantage of the occasion to make changes in the articulation and the dynamics, he also altered the work's melodic substance and formal design. The two additional high-register instruments allowed him to achieve more subtle distinctions and gradations of timbre, thereby enabling him, for example, to vary the timbral homogeneity of the two clarinets. The opportunity arose to divide melodic phrases among the clarinets and oboes or to make them more brilliant and incisive by doubling them at the unison or octave. - Urtext of the New Mozart Edition - Parts sextet version (BA5333), octet version (BA5334) and study score both versions format 22. 5 x 16. 5cm (TP315) available for sale/ Répertoire / Partition de Poche
