J S Bach composed the Fantasia and Fugue in C Minor in approximately 1723 when he was in Weimar. Elgar proposed an Orchestration of the work dividing the work into two parts with Richard Strauss in the 1920’s. In the end Elgar created the entire Orchestration himself and it was given its premiere in 1922 almost two centuries precisely since Bach wrote the original.

Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. La création de l’œuvre, en décembre 1813, fait partie des plus grands succès que Beethoven, en tant que compositeur, ait pu fêter publiquement. Un critique écrivit alors que cette nouvelle symphonie comportait des thèmes «si plaisants et si accessibles que tout ami de la musique se sentait puissamment attiré par sa beauté». La caractérisation de ses thèmes dépend essentiellement du caractère d’ostinato des rythmes de base, qui contribuent à la formation des spécificités marquantes de chaque mouvement. Richard Wagner alla même jusqu’à donner à cette œuvre, avec son Finale enivrant, le titre d’«Apothéose de la danse». Basée sur le texte musical de l’édition complète des œuvres de Beethoven et accompagnée d’une nouvelle préface, cette toute récente édition fait état du stade actuel de la recherche beethovénienne. Avec cette édition d’étude, ce texte est maintenant accessible à tous à peu de frais et dans un format maniable. / Date parution : 2020-07-04/ Répertoire / Orchestre Symphonique

Carl Maria von Weber's fame rests mainly on ?Der Freischütz'. The unprecedented success of this opera overshadowed all his other works and contributed to their increasing fall into oblivion. Certain works such as ?Preciosa', ?Oberon', and ?Euryanthe', the overtures, solo concertos and piano sonatas, the lieder and chamber works enjoyed great popularity and were widely known in Germany and abroad as late as the second half of the 19th century. However, any chance of a revival of Weber's influential and substantial oeuvre was wasted in the 1920s, when a complete edition - begun by Hans Joachim Moser and with potential contributors including Wilhelm Kempff, Hans Pfitzner, Max von Schillings, Fritz Stein and Richard Strauss - failed after the third volume.Ever since there have been numerous attempts to restart a complete edition of Weber's works, but as this kind of project would have required the co-operation of scholars from both sides of the inter-German border, the political situation after 1945 was not conducive to any such enterprise. Careful negotiations led to the first tangible steps in the 1980s. The intention, right from the beginning, was to place Weber's work in context, and not to separate his musical output from his influential work as a writer, critic and organiser in the musical field, but to publish his compositions together with his letters, diaries and other literary output as the best way to document the cross-fertilisation between his musical, literary and practical activities.Since the German re-unification both working-parties concerned - at the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin, and at the Musikwissenschaftliches Seminar, Detmold/Paderborn - have co-operated on the complete edition of the musical works (c. 45 volumes in 10 series: sacred music - cantatas, odes and other occasional works - stage works - lieder and vocal works - orchestral works - chamber music - music for piano - piano reductions - miscellanea, arrangements and orchestrations - works of doubtful attribution). The diaries (6-8 vols.) are edited in Berlin and the letters (8-10 vols.) and other writings (2 vols.) in Detmold. This complete edition aims to be a reliable basis of scholarly debate as well as for the authentic performance practice of Carl Maria von Weber's music. Conforming to the standards of recent historico-critical editions, the textual material will be based on all available authentic sources, accompanied by a detailed documentation of the genesis and a list of variants for each work. The musicological importance of the works will be evaluated by placing them in their historical context, the presentation of their genesis, history and Critical Commentaries. The letters, writings and diaries will be treated as inter-related and relevant to each other in the commentaries, therefore readers should benefit from a wealth of concise information and cross-references. / Score

La renommée de Carl Maria von Weber repose principalement sur , Der Freischütz '. Le succès sans précédent de cet opéra a éclipsé tous ses autres travaux et a contribué à leur chute croissante dans l'oubli. Certaines oeuvres telles que , Preciosa ' , Oberon ', et , Euryanthe ', les ouvertures , concertos en solo et sonates pour piano , des lieder et Chamber Works jouissait d'une grande popularité et ont été largement connu en Allemagne et à l'étranger aussi tard que la deuxième moitié de la 19e siècle . Cependant, toute chance d'une renaissance de Weber influents etoeuvre considérable a été gaspillé dans les années 1920 , quand une édition complète - commencé par Hans Joachim Moser et avec les contributeurs potentiels, dont Wilhelm Kempff , Hans Pfitzner , Max von Schillings, Fritz Stein et Richard Strauss - a échoué après le troisième volume.Depuis , il ya eu de nombreuses tentatives pour relancer une édition complète des oeuvres de Weber , mais comme ce genre de projet , il aurait fallu la collaboration de chercheurs des deux côtés de la frontière inter -allemande, la situation politique après 1945 n'était pas propice à une telle entreprise . Négociations approfondies ont conduit aux premières étapes tangibles dans les années 1980. L'intention , dès le début , était de placer l'oeuvre de Weber dans son contexte, et de ne pas séparer sa production musicale de son travail influent comme un écrivain , critique et organisateur dans le domaine musical , mais de publier ses compositions avec ses lettres, journaux intimes et autre production littéraire comme le meilleur moyen de documenter la fertilisation croisée entre ses activités musicales , littéraires et pratique. / Score

Romance in F major for Violoncello and Orchestra-Just a few months after completing his Cello Sonata op. 6 Strauss composed another work for this instrument: a Romance for cello and orchestra which remained unpublished during his lifetime. According to the autograph manuscript the composition was finished on June 27 1883 and Strauss also prepared the piano reduction himself. The Romance is regarded as one of Strauss??? most mature youthful works though it was long overshadowed by the cello sonata despite several quite successful performances given by the then-famous principal cellist of the Munich Court Orchestra Hanu? Wihan. Only since the posthumous first edition of 1986 has the music world been rediscoveringthis striking work which now also appears in a Henle Urtext edition.

Score-This 1992 composition is the composer's personal portrait of New York City. It was premiered by the New York Philharmonic with Leonard Slatkin conducting on January 4 1996. The title is drawn from poet Pablo Neruda's 1971 NobelPrize address. The piece was recorded on the Sony label by The Philharmonia Orchestra Zdenek Macal conducting.Full Score.
