Alma Mahler (1879-1964) ist ohne Zweifel eine der schillerndsten Personlichkeiten ihrer Zeit, die bis heute nichts an ihrer Faszination verloren hat. ,,Sie gehort zu den ganz wenigen Zauberfrauen, die es gibt, sagte der Schriftsteller Franz Werfel, ihr dritter Ehemann nach Gustav Mahler und Walter Gropius. Manner scheinen ihr Lebensinhalt gewesen zu sein: geniale Manner - mit und ohne Trauschein. Sie selbst liess gern durchblicken, wie lang ihre private Eroberungsliste war ... Alma ist und bleibt ein Unikum der Kulturgeschichte, doch aufgrund ihres Rufes als ,,Femme fatale und ihres extravaganten Wesens wird leider allzu oft ausser Acht gelassen, dass sie selbst wunderbare Kompositionen hervorgebracht hat, sehr gebildet war und die Gabe besass, nicht nur Manner zu verzaubern. In einer Zeit, wo Frauen noch keineswegs gleichberechtigt waren, lebte Alma nach dem Motto: ,,Jeder Mensch kann alles - aber er muss auch zu allem bereit sein. Bei der Komposition der Alma Phantasien habe ich mich von der bemerkenswerten Alma inspirieren lassen, mein Ohr in deren Zeit versetzt und das Gehorte in ihre eigene Tonsprache ubersetzt. Dabei habe ich in meine Kompositionen zwei kurze musikalische Zitate aus Alma Mahlers Werken eingeflochten, namlich aus Die stille Stadt und Ich wandle unter Blumen . Der Text stammt aus Alma Mahlers Tagebucheintragungen und handelt von zwei Mannern, die Alma Mahlers Leben pragten: Alexander Zemlinsky und Gustav Mahler. Die Schreibweise Almas wurde dabei beibehalten. (Manuela Kerer).

The Adagietto is the 4th movement of Gustav Mahlers (1860-1911) FIFTH SYMPHONY, written in 1901-1902. It is Mahler's most popular work, often performed separately from the symphony. This incredibly expressive piece of music was a love song to his future wife Alma, and is eminently suitable for solo violin with piano accompaniment. Otto Winterbecher, a disciple of Mahler, created this transcription.

Composed in 1901-02, Mahler's 5th Symphony contains the Adagietto movement scored for strings and harp, perhaps the most serene, simple, spiritual and peaceful music of his entire output. The music was likely composed as a love song to his new wife Alma. Ralph Sauer has beautifully arranged the movement for solo Horn with Piano accompaniment. The 8 minute long work is appropriate for advanced performers.

The tragic circumstances surrounding the origin of the concerto are well known: Manon Gropius, the daughter of Berg's friend Alma Mahler, died of polio after the composer had written the first sketches to his violin concerto. In remembrance of her, he dedicated the work to the memory of an angel. Later, Berg decided to incorporate into the score the Bach chorale Es ist genug as a quote. He also worked on the solo part directly and intensely with the American violinist Louis Krasner, who had commissioned the work. Berg was no longer able to witness the first performance and the first edition of the concerto since he passed away in late 1935. This new edition is the first Urtext version of Berg's work, which was created in the midst of a spate of epoch-making violin concertos by Stravinsky (1931), Schoenberg (1936), Prokofiev (1937), Bartok (1938), Hindemith (1939) a. o. Errors from the first edition were corrected after an in-depth comparison with the autograph score, the short score and, in some cases, with the twelve-tone row structure.The entire performance material can be purchased; however, due to copyright reasons, the score and orchestral parts are not available the United States.Werden die Urtextausgaben von Breitkopf & Hartel aufgrund ihres hellblauen Umschlags augenzwinkernd die Himmlischen genannt, so ist dies in Bezug auf die neu vorgelegte Partitur Programm.

The violin concerto from 1935 is probably the best-known and most frequently performed instrumental work by Alban Berg. Written on behalf of the violinist Louis Krasner, it is his last completed composition. Krasner played the solo part at the world premiere at the Palau de la Música Catalana in Barcelona on 19 April 1936 after Berg's death. The concert is dedicated to “The Memory of an Angel.†Berg processed the death of 18-year-old Manon Gropius, who had contracted polio, and his daughter Alma Mahler-Werfel's marriage to architect Walter Gropius. His intention was “to translate the traits of the young girl into musical charactersâ€. With more than 1,200 titles from orchestral and choral literature, chamber music and music theater, Edition Eulenburg is the largest score series in the world. It covers a large part of music history from the baroque to classical modernism and looks back on a long tradition.
