Aulos I to a certain degree continues Orbán's easy piano pieces for children, which he composed for Ágnes Lakos's piano tutor and which Editio Musica Budapest published in a separate volume entitled Enchanted Forest in 2011 (Z14742). Yet on this occasion the composer took on something which was both significantly different and more than his earlier pieces for children. On the one hand, he did not compose for beginners but for more advanced students who have studied piano for at least three years. On the other, he did not set developing the technique of piano playing as an aim, rather a systematic presentation of different polyphonic genres and compositional procedures (imitation, fugue, stretto, inversion, augmentation and diminution, double counterpoint, latent polyphony, double and triple fugue, cantus firmus technique, etc.). Orbán introduces his students to the mysteries of polyphony in a direct and practical manner, and thus actually makes them familiar with the art of composition.The educational use of the series is significantly increased by the fact that before each piece the composer presents and clarifies with demonstrative illustrations the polyphonic procedure he introduces. Orbán's explanations are not text-book-like at all, but are deliberately personal and subjective, full of lessons and individual associations taken from his practice as a composer. They were written in the same spirit as the works themselves - while they perfectly fulfil their educational purpose they are equally individual, witty and inspired pieces of music that are a joy to play. / Ensemble Mixte

'A rigorously static work. The sonata the dry gongs and desert glare of its percussion encircling the lonely human agony of the viola exists in a climate in which emotion is all the fiercer for being half-stifled and haltingly articulate.'Sydney Morning Herald (Roger Covell) 15 August 1964

Edizione Critica A Cura Di Alessandro Borin / Critical Edition By Alessandro Borin. Par VIVALDI ANTONIO. The six Concerts op. VI for violin, strings and continuo by Antonio Vivaldi were published in Amsterdam by Roger in 1719. Although the contribution of Vivaldi was most likely modest – even to assume that the publishing occurred without hisauthorization - these six compositions mark a decisive step towards the definition of the classic Vivaldi Concerto, consisting of three movements and with the participation of a single Soloist. This critical edition – mainly based on the firstprinted edition and its following reprints – takes in consideration also all the printed sources related to each single concert of op. VI found into anthologies and the manuscript ones kept at the Wiesentheid and Dresda libraries. The informationcollected through the comparative study of the manuscript tradition and the printed one made possible not only to reconstruct the links among the sources and clarify some problematic choices but also to formulate hypotheses about the genesis and theintrinsic nature of the whole collection. / Date parution : 1905-07-08/ Répertoire / Ensemble Mixte
