Réduction of orchestral score-The complete Vocal Score for Gioacchino Rossini's Messe Solennelle with text in Latin.

A wonderful two volume collection of songs for Voice and Piano by Gioacchino Rossini. Volume 1 contains eight songs for Voice with Piano accompaniment.

Gioacchino Rossini's Una Voce Poco Fa from the opera Il Barbiere Di Siviglia for Coloratura Voice and Piano in the key of E. Edited by Estelle Liebling.

Fin gourmet réputé, trublion musical, génie précoce : finalement, que connaît-on de ce compositeur italien né à Pesaro en 1792 et mort en France en 1868 ? Gioacchino Rossini fait partie de ces compositeurs
fréquemment joués, dont les ouvertures d'opéras ont servi de fonds sonores pour des publicités et dont les grands airs semblent `évidents et faciles`. Pourtant, une analyse un peu plus poussée montre la virtuosité incroyable à laquelle ils recourent et la richesse de leur orchestration inventive. C'est sûrement une des explications des succès intemporels du Barbier de Séville, de La Cenerentola, des nombreuses
ouvertures ou encore de la Petite messe solemnelle. / Livre /

This edition is based on the critical edition of The Barber of Seville edited by Patricia B. Brauner and published in 2008 as part of the series Works of Gioachino Rossini. But who needs a new critical edition of The Barber of Seville? The opera has been performed in theatres throughout the world since 1816 and has never been absent from the repertoire. There are two reasons for a critical new edition: firstly none of the early editions satisfy modern demands for a scholarly-critical edition. And secondly there is a wealth of previously unpublished material relating to this opera of great interest to both scholars and performers.Thusthe famous overture which Rossini had already used in his earlier opera Aureliano in Palmira differs noticeably from earlier editions in many places. The new edition enables performers to perform the overture either in its original scoring (as in Aureliano in Palmira) which includes two Flutes two Oboes and Timpani or in the scoring for the subsequent opera The Barber of Seville (with just one Flute one oboe and no Timpani).Urtext edition based on the series Works of Gioachino Rossini.All versions and transpositions are included in the appendix to the study score.Singing English translation in the vocal score.Takes into account all original sources including five manuscripts with Rossini’s autograph ornamentation.Takes into consideration the full extent of Rossini’s personal notational characteristics.Study score contains a detailed foreword (Eng/Ital)Full score (BA10506) critical report (BA10506-40) & study score (TP411) available for sale; performance material (BA10506-72) available for hire.

Rossini's popular overture is now available with complete performance material on sale. It is newly edited based on the forthcoming volume of the 'Works of Gioachino Rossini' (BA10506).This scholarly-critical practical edition contains almost two works in one as Rossini composed this overture firstly for his opera 'Aureliano in Palmira' and then also used it in 'The Barber of Seville'. The two overtures differ simply in their instrumentation.This new edition is an Urtext edition. Free of later additions to the instrumentation and other changes it reproduces this famous work in the version which Rossini intended.Conductors can nowchoose to perform the overture to 'The Barber of Seville' without the frequently added second flute second oboe and drums which were not part of the opera's original instrumentation.First Urtext edition of the popular overtureForeword (Ger/Eng/It)Optimal page-turns in the parts

The ?Petite Messe Solennelle? is the finest work of Rossini?s late years. He composed it between 1863 and 1864 at the age of 71 as a commission for Countess Louise Pillet-Will for the consecration of her private chapel where the work received its first performance in March 1864. Together with the ?Stabat mater? the mass is one of the composer?s most important sacred works.The unusual instrumentation with two Pianos and Harmonium is entirely in keeping with the Neapolitan Keyboard tradition of the 18th century which was cultivated in France in Rossini?s day. It forms a distinct contrast to the style of large-scale sacred compositionsas written by for example Liszt and Bruckner. Rossini explained that he wrote the later Orchestral version of the work dating from 1867 out of concern that if he did not do this other composers might orchestrate the mass too heavily in later arrangements.The Piano reduction by Andreas Köhs is extremely idiomatic and largely preserves the charming character of the unusual instrumentation.- Based on the Urtext of the series ?Works of Gioachino Rossini?.- Foreword in two languages (Eng/Ger).- With a separate Harmonium part and one part for Pianos I and II.

Ed. Critica P. Gossett-A. Zedda – softcover 2 volumi-Gioachino Rossini chooses Semiramide as the opera subject of the Carnival season 1822-23 the last of his Italian career. The opera - composed on a libretto by Gaetano Rossi - was performed for the first time in Venice Teatro La Fenice onFebruary 3rd 1823. The history of this work is characterized right from the first performances by frequent manipulations cuts and consecutive adjustments because of its monumental structure. This reduction for voice and piano based on the criticaledition of the full score offers a new point of view of Semiramide through the reconstruction of the main phases of its rich executive history. In addition to the musical texts there are - both in Italian and in English - an historical Introduction (in the first volume) and a Critical Commentary to the musical text (in the second volume). In the three Appendices of the edition are thenpublished the vocal variants recovered from the original parts (some in Rossini’s hand) the original version of the conclusion of the Semiramide’s Cavatina and a version of the Finale secondo composed by Rossini for the Parisian version of 1825.

Duetto Per Violoncello E Contrabbasso.Composed in London near the end of 1824 the Duetto is one of the few chamber music works regularly performed today. It is a light and charming composition yet requires experienced performers.The work was often performed in the 19th century by the Double Bass virtuoso Domenico Dragonetti (called ?Il drago? or ?Paganini of the Double Bass?) and we know that Rossini was acquainted with and consulted Dragonetti on matters dealing with the instrument.Bärenreiter?s critical edition is the only currently available publication which is based on Rossini?s autographand not on the first edition.- Urtext based on the ? Works of Gioachino Rossini?.- First critical edition of the work.- Reference score and separate parts.- With a foreword (Ger/Eng/Ital) and Critical Commentary (Eng).

Ed. critica di Charles S. Brauner - Riduzione per canto e pianoforte-Mosè in Egitto (1818) is the fourth of the nine opere serie that Rossini composed for Naples between 1815 and 1822. As his letters to his mother show Rossini was very proud of this opera considering it an especially fine achievement that might appeal more to posterity than to the audiences of his day. In fact it proved to be one of his most frequently performed opere serie. The present reduction for voice and piano in two volumes derives from the critical edition of the score published by Fondazione Rossini Pesaro in collaboration with Casa Ricordi by Charles S. Brauner: the edition is based mainly on the autograph score now housed in theBibliothèque nationale de France in Paris. This autograph score is complete but it is not completely autograph and many sections have offered some problems for the reconstruction of the text: the recitative in Act I and the Aria Mosè in Act II are not by Rossini the first five recitatives in Act II are not in Rossini’s hand and may or may not be by Rossini also not in Rossini’s hand is the Aria Amaltea although undoubtedly by Rossini because borrowed from his earlier opera Ciro in Babilonia. The Preface and the Critical Commentary offer for the first time some valid tools to reconstruct the entire history of the opera since the first performance in Naples (1818 1819) to the Parisian ones (1822 – 1840). In particular in the appendices are included the original Aria Faraone which composed by Michele Carafa for the first two productions of the opera in Naples in 1818 and 1819 was later replaced by the Aria Faraone Rossini himself composed in 1820 and in Appendix II the new ending of the recitative following Duetto N. 3 which Rossini composed for one of the Parisian performances after 1822. 

Gioachino Rossini (1792-1868) referred to his petite messe solennelle as the 'Last mortal sin of my old age'. Written in 1863 for the Countess Louise Pillet-Will and first performed on 14 March 1864 at the consecration of the Countess' private chapel the Mass is one of Rossini's finest achievements and the outstanding work of his 'retirement'. This Vocal score is set for SATB soli SATB chorus Harmonium and two Pianos.
