Le Carnaval des animaux. Written in March 1886 as a humorous occasional work for the traditional carnival concert organized by his cellist friend Charles-Joseph Lebouc, the Carnival of the Animals was so successful that Saint-Saëns banned performances and publication soon afterwards. He was worried that this ?grand zoological fantasy? - consisting of 14 short individual pieces for eleven instruments - might overshadow his serious works. Yet only five months after the composer?s death, it appeared in print after all, beginning its worldwide victory march - in its original setting as well as in numerous arrangements. Thus, the Carnival did in fact arguably become the most popular work by this French composer and, owing to its musical originality, it is also a favourite in music lessons or for school orchestra performances. With this combination of a study edition and an edition in parts (for which additional parts for larger numbers of strings may be ordered), G. Henle Publishers now presents the perfect resource for such occasions.

Composed by the Czech composer Bohuslav Martinü in 1927, La Revue De Cuisine is a ballet initially created for a sextet. This score was reviewed and tailored for an Orchestra.
This ballet, talking about the life of kitchen utensils, is divided in ten sections:
1. Prologue (Allegretto)
2. Introduction (Tempo de marche)
3. Danse du moulinet autour du caudron (Poco meno)
4. Danse du chaudron et du couvercle (Allegro)
5. Tango (Danse d'amour. Lento)
6. Duel (Poco a poco allegro. Tempo di Charleston)
7. Entracte (Lamentation du chaudron. Allegro moderato)
8. Marche funèbre (Adagio)
9. Danse radieuse (Tempo di marche)
10. Fin du drame (Allegretto)
The story focuses on the marriage of the Pot and Lid which is put at risk by the Twirling Stick, and the music features some strong jazz influences.
Bohuslav Martinü(1890-1959) also wrote 13 other ballets, 15 operas and 6 symphonies and some orchestral and chamber music.

Polka Schnell F. Klar., 2 Vl., Vla., Vc.. Par STRAUSS JOHANN (FILS). Weil kultivierte Geselligkeit ohne Musik kaum denkbar ist, konnte das traditionsreiche Verlagshaus Doblinger kaum einen besseren Titel als 'Wiener Melange' für seine Reihe mit Alt-Wiener Tanzmusik wählen, in der effektvolle und gut spielbare Bearbeitungen populärer Kompositionen von Johann Strauß Sohn u. a. erschienen sind. Die Besetzung orientiert sich an den Gepflogenheiten bürgerlicher Haus- und Salonmusik - was dem ungarischen Fürsten die eigene Hofkapelle im Ballsaal seiner Wiener Residenz, war dem Geheimen Rat das Streichquartett im großbürgerlichen Salon (oft übernahm dabei der klangstärkere Kontrabass die Stelle des Cellos)./ Répertoire / Musique de Chambre

Sur Les Mouvements Rotatoires En Quarts De Ton. Par WYSCHNEGRADSKY IVAN ALEXANDROWITSCH. Cette pièce est régie par un principe similaire à celle qui obtient dans le ' Etude sur le Carré magique sonore ' (BEL 174). 8 cycles d'intervalle succèdent à proximité et forment une sorte de mouvement octogone qui est érigé et puis démantelé. Le cycle des quintes diminuées arrive à une conclusion qu'après qu'il a traversé 13 octaves, c'est-à-dire au-delà des limites de ce qu'est réellement audible. La requête posèrent est plus apparente au début et à la fin, où la roue moud graduellement arrêter. Entre là sont des passages avec des grappes de ton denses et trilles cordal.

Par SCHOENBERG ARNOLD. Here the fourths, springing from an entirely different expressive urge, shape themselves into a defi nite horn theme, spread themselves out architectonically over the whole piece, and place their stamp on everything that happens. Thus it turns out that they do not appear here merely as melody or as a purely impressionistic chord effect; their character permeates the total harmonic structure, and they are chords like all others.' (Arnold Schoenberg, Theory of Harmony, 1911) The Chamber Symphony Op.9 heralded a breakthrough in Schoenberg's compositional style. While the work did not go hand in hand with the complete destruction of the old tonal system it does show an extension in chordal and melodic constructions. It's focus on the interval of the fourth rather than the third is stated right at the start with the horn fanfare and this leads into the use of the whole tone scale soon after. These two elements open up a new sound space which he would explore further in the works to follow. Certainly not a work to be missing from any library where contemporary music is one of the main focuses./ Répertoire / Ensemble de Musique de Chambre
