Remarkably for a work by Philip Glass the Cello Concerto No 1 or Concerto For Cello And Orchestra conforms broadly to the three-movement form of classic concerti with fast-slow-fast tempi.This concerto is designated as part ofThe Concerto Project recording series started by Glass in the year 2000 currently in four volumes and including eight concerti.American composer Philip Glass is widely known as one of the most celebrated influential and prolificof the modern composers. He is frequently referred to as a minimalist though he prefers to call himself a composer of ‘music with repetitive structures.’ His operas among them the renowned Einstein On The Beach are performedacross the globe and he has created work for small and large ensembles film and experimental theatre and founded his own performing group The Philip Glass Ensemble.

Original Version. Schumann?s Cello Concerto Rediscovered In her first Urtext edition for Edition Peters, internationally renowned cellist Josephine Knight reveals Robert Schumann?s original version of his Cello Concerto in A minor Op. 129 ? a piece he actually called a ?Concertstück? ? removing generations of inauthentic editorial interventions. This is the only available modern scholarly edition of the work as Schumann originally conceived it, and restores the text from October 1850, based on the composer?s manuscript held in the Biblioteka Jagiello?ska in Kraków. This Full Score matches the separately available edition for Cello and Piano (EP 73488). Matching orchestral material is also available from the publisher. Only modern Urtext edition based on Schumann?s original 1850 manuscript Many new corrections and clarifications, especially to the cello part Scholarly preface detailing history of the work and this edition by editor Josephine Knight, Piatti Professor of Cello at the Royal Academy of Music London Cello Part contains Josephine Knight's fingering and bowing suggestions Critical Commentary Cello and piano edition available separately from Edition Peters: orchestral parts available for rental Recording of the Concertstück featuring Josephine Knight available from Dutton Robert Schumann?s tragic last years have mired many of his greatest works in unnecessary doubt. The story of the suppression of his Violin Concerto by well-meaning friends is relatively well-known. Few, however, know that the version of the Cello Concerto that is routinely heard today is so far from Schumann?s original conception of the work ? not only in details of phrasing and articulation, but also featuring a different ending with a bold final flourish from the cello. Composed in a burst of inspiration in two weeks in October 1850 shortly after he and Clara had moved to Düsseldorf, Schumann (who in 1850 was still in good health) never heard the piece performed. In an effort to promote a performance of the work, he gave the score to the cellist Robert Emil Bockmühl. Bockmühl made revisions that Schumann resisted, and the hoped-for performance never happened. Schumann?s health failed and he died aged just 46 in 1856. The Concerto, in an already substantially revised form, was premiered in 1860 but it was not given significant recognition until it was championed by Pablo Casals in the 20th century by which time (and since) the text for the work had accreted additions and alterations from generations of soloists. Now Josephine Knight, Piatti Professor of Cello at the Royal Academy of Music, London has returned to the original 1850 manuscript of the work, which is in the Biblioteka Jagiello?ska in Kraków, to reveal Schumann?s original thoughts for the first time in a modern Urtext edition. The edition reflects Schumann?s original conception of the work as a Concertstück and restores Schumann?s musical text, free of posthumous interventions. ?My ultimate wish,? says the editor, ?is to give performers both access to, and confidence that they are playing from, an edition which is a true representation of the piece in its original form, no matter how much more difficult this might be. I found that incorporating the changes enabled the piece to take on a completely different character ? one that is lighter and happier, even ?cheerful?, as Schumann himself described the work.'

Architechtonia was expertly composed in 1986 by Sadie Harrison. Architechtonia received its first performance by Projects/London conducted by Richard Bernasat St. John's Smith Square November 1987.Australian born freelance composer and performer Sadie Harrison’s unique fusion of elements from indigenous Lithuanian music and poetry with her own modernist often abrasive style have led her to be compared with Bartok but with her own warmth and grandeur. Since 2012 Harrison has been working along side a long list of well accomplished musicians; PaulCarey Peter Sheppard Skaerved Sergej Okrushko Alex South Duncan Honeybourne are among many who have had the privilege work with Harrison so far. Performances of Harrison's works have beengiven across the world by Lontano London Chamber Symphony Music Projects/ London Ixion Okeanos Bournemouth Sinfonietta Kokoro and the St. Christopherus Chamber Orchestra and many others.

This study score is based on the score and complete performance material of Dvorák's famous B minor Cello Concerto (BA 9045) edited by Jonathan Del Mar and published in 2011. In addition the study score contains a Foreword by Dvorák scholar Jan Smaczny.Like every other major 19th-century cello concerto, Dvorák's concerto resulted from a collaboration between the composer and a virtuoso musician. Several passages in Dvorák's autograph were written by the cellist Hanus Wihan but Bärenreiter's edition now reveals that some details in the orchestral parts are also in his writing, showing just how closely the two musicians were working together.The editor Jonathan Del Mar has conscientiously examined every available source, including two that have hitherto been either ignored or crucially undervalued. His research has led to a benchmark edition that reconstructs, for the first time since its initial publication in 1896, Dvorák's definitive version of the solo part. It differs from previous editions in practically every measure and hundreds of corrections have also been made to the orchestral parts. - Includes Dvorák's final and definitive version of the solo cello part - Incorporates new discoveries regarding the collaboration between Dvorák and Wihan - With Feuermann's and Casals's alternative versions of a passage in the first movement - Detailed Foreword (Eng/Cz/Ger) / Violoncelle Et Orchestre

La composition tripartite ' la Vierge '(Nativité, la Vierge à l'enfant - Pietà, la Vierge et le crucifié, BEL 499 - triptyque de Pâques, la Vierge par la Croix, BEL 497) est l'une des oeuvres tardives de Mouravieff. Trois pièces peuvent être joués ensemble ou séparément. Mouravieff était très intéressé par la tragédie grecque antique, et cela l'a amené à tenter de faire revivre l'art grec antique du mouvement. En plus de concevoir des rythmiques avec battements forts et faibles, il a continué à faire usage de rythmes grecques antiques et plus tard appliqué ses réflexions au rythme de la respiration. Il décrit cette en termes de battements longs et courts (1,5 et 1 longueur) avec une césure approprié. Par le biais de cette dualité, qui correspondent à des patrons de respiration ou l'impulsion (certains musiciens peuvent aujourd'hui trouver cela plutôt difficile), Mouravieff a tenté d'une manière idiosyncratique d'utiliser pleinement l'élément important du rythme de la musique. / Violoncelle Et Orchestre De Chambre

Par JARRELL MICHAEL. Composition works like an arborescent structure. At each ramification you choose a path, which depends on the whole dynamic of the whole piece. Doing this, you leave quite a lot of ideas and fragments behind. Nachlese is a german term already used by Goethe for the idea of 'reading again', referring to, commenting something... The idea of this cycle (Nachlese) is to come back to some musical ideas which I liked and found interesting, but were inappropriate in a different context and to develop them in new directions. When choosing a title I like it to refer to different techniques used in the piece, but also very directly to what is heard at some moments. For instance, in the first movement the orchestra 'emerges' from the very fast and nervous line played by the soloist and then, later, the 'climax' of this movement 'emerges' from the fast line then played by the orchestra. This piece is dedicated to Jean-Guihen Queyras and Thierry Fischer. / contemporain / Répertoire / Violoncelle et Orchestre

für Violoncello und Orchester-Schnittke?s first cello concerto was written during a near fatal time in his life after having suffered a severe stroke in 1985 during which his heart stopped three times. Upon recovery he completed the concerto the music becoming more dissonant and discordant with the melodies more contorted.The first cello concerto was a monumental endeavor for large orchestra and approximately 40 minutes in duration. The work was written for Schnittke?s close friend Russian cellist Natalia Gutman. The solo part is most feverish and virtuosic exhausting the performer both technically and emotionally. The last fourth movement creates an unusual structuralprogression ending in what feels like a celestial hymn-like prayer. Schnittke himself said: Suddenly I was given this finale from somewhere and I?ve just written it down.Available here is the study score for Schnittke?s emotionally and technically demanding Cello Concerto No.1. This Sikorski edition study score is well presented and provides an excellent resource for study or perusal use.

Le Concerto pour violoncelle Enjott Schneider reprend la légende sumérienne de la divinité oiseau 'Dugud 'dans les scènes archaïques. La légende raconte que la princesse Emeshe a été imprégné par l'hermaphrodite - moitié aigle, moitié faucon - dans un rêve et fonde avec ses Álmos fils, qui avait ainsi été conçus, la dynastie royale hongroise.En images musicales expressives, Schneider décrit la lutte dark-érotique d'imprégnation ainsi que le chant de l'enfant à naître. Planant au-dessus de tout, c'est la vision de la vie en toute liberté comme un oiseau.L'oeuvre a été créée par le violoncelliste hongrois László Fenyö en 2011. Merci à la partition de piano écrite par le compositeur, le travail peut désormais être étudiés et réalisés par un duo. / Violoncelle Et Orchestre
