Piano Trio in g minor op. 8-Fr?d?ric Chopin composed his piano trio when he was an 18-year-old student. About the performance of the trio on 31 August 1830 he wrote: ???On Sunday we rehearsed the trio. Perhaps because I haven???t heard it for awhile I was very happy with myself (fortunate man!).??? Incidentally Robert Schumann also shared this opinion writing in a review: ???Is it not as noble as possible more full of enthusiasm than any song ever written by apoet original in the smallest detail as in the whole every note music and life'??? We agree with this verdict and recommend this trio in our new Urtext edition to all lovers of highly romantic chamber music.

Par BARTOK BELA. Béla Bartók?s six string quartets, composed between 1908 and 1940, are 20th-century milestones of the genre. His First String Quartet is closely linked to his unhappy love for the violinist Stefi Geyer, to whom he sent the initial measures of its first movement in early 1908 with the remark: ?My song of death?. When he completed all three movements of the work a year later, he had, according to his friend and colleague Zoltán Kodály, written himself ?back into life?. In this First Quartet, Bartók combines late-Romantic sounds with elements of the folk music that had since 1905 been a source of increasing interest to him. This definitive edition, supervised by Bartók scholar László Somfai, is the first-ever Urtext edition of this work. It takes into account both manuscript and printed sources, as well as letters and notes by the composer in which he recorded matters such as modifications to tempo markings. The Henle edition thus offers a musical text edited to the highest scholarly standards, with fascinating information on the work?s compositional history and performance practice. Sensible page turns and cue notes help to make this edition a real ?must have?. / Date parution : 2023-05-06/ Répertoire / Quatuor à Cordes

25 Originale Vortragsstücke-Volume 2 of the Cellissimo series contains 25 popular original pieces for cello and piano from the Baroque Classical and Romantic eras and is a real treasure trove for advanced pupils students teachers and cello lovers. The cello literature comprises a lot of major standard works for lessons concerts and competitions. Apart from classics by Vivaldi Br?val Beethoven Mendelssohn Schumann Faur? or Saint-Sa?ns the volume also contains several lesser known pieces e.g. by August N?lck (1862?1928) and Georg Goltermann (1824?1898). The pieces are of medium technical difficulty which corresponds to grade 3-4 or grade 5-8 of theinternational examination system. Some pieces can be played in the 2nd to 7th position while several works require putting the thumb under. All selected works are particularly suitable for the development of sound vibrato differentiated bowing technique as well as the performer's personal interpretation and musical presentation.

Elgar's delightful Salut d'Amour one of his earliest successes dates from 1889 when Elgar had just turned 30: this proved to be a year of great happiness for him for at that time he married Caroline Alice Roberts - a lady who was to mean so much to him as man and musician. It is not too fanciful to hear in this charming piece a musical manifestation of his love for her.This arrangement for string quartet retains al the beauty of the original.

Par KREISLER FRITZ. Apart from the collection of Classical Manuscripts composed by the violin virtuoso Fritz Kreisler (1875-1962) which he had passed off as transcriptions of settings of old masters, the violinist published original works early on as well. Kreisler himself liked to play them as encore pieces, thus sweetening many a concert with this 'musical confectionery'. Famous tunes are, for example, Liebesfreud, Liebesleid and Schön Rosmarin, his old Viennese dance tunes, in which Kreisler evoked the coffee-house atmosphere of his home town with beautiful melodies and mellifluous harmonies. Another wonderful example is his Marche miniature viennoise, with its humorous theme and a rather march-like middle section - and everywhere, Kreisler takes the audience by surprise with a little Viennese snide humour. Kreisler's original compositions are lovely miniatures, lively and catchy, even with a touch of melancholy - yet full of charm and elegance. Arranged for string trio, they are enjoyable to play and worth listening to and a valuable addition to the repertoire - ideal for sociable music-making or as pieces to end a 'serious' concert./ Répertoire / Trio à Cordes

For Flute, Clarinet In Bb, Harp, and String Quartet. Par LASH HANNAH. Form and Postlude is a piece in one continuous movement but with a distinct postlude which ends the work. I play throughout with the idea of pacing on many levels: the largest level is the idea of proportion of sections to one another, then harmonic rhythm (in the broad sense), then harmonic rhythm on a more local level, and of course then on the surface of the music there is instrumental texture and how fast the notes go by. Along with this sense of play in terms of the pacing and motion is the idea of color. I love this ensemble, and its palette of color has been part of my DNA, as it were, for many years, because Ravel’s wonderful work Introduction et Allegro is such a cornerstone in the harpist’s repertoire. While composing, I found myself feeling that I was entering into this colorful world that is possible with this combination of instruments, almost as if it were possible to step into a painter’s palette in a real and visceral way, physically interacting with all the different colors. The title Form and Postlude nods to Ravel’s Introduction et Allegro, although my piece lives in its own very distinct space apart from Ravel. – Hannah Lash/ Répertoire / Flûte Traversière, Clarinette, Harpe et Quatuor à
