a 6 et a 8. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. The Serenade in E-flat, K. 375, exists in two versions, one for two clarinets, two horns and two bassoons, and another for the same forces plus two oboes, forming an octet. From Mozart himself we know a fair amount about the occasion that led to the first, six-instrument version of this work and about its early performances. Written for the sister-in-law of the court painter Hickl, it probably originated toward the end of September or the beginning of October in 1781 and was first performed on 15 October, the name-day of St. Theresa. The octet version probably arose in the summer of the following year. It is far more than a mechanical expansion of the sextetwith the oboes merely reinforcing the clarinets colla parte. Not only did Mozart take advantage of the occasion to make changes in the articulation and the dynamics, he also altered the work's melodic substance and formal design. The two additional high-register instruments allowed him to achieve more subtle distinctions and gradations of timbre, thereby enabling him, for example, to vary the timbral homogeneity of the two clarinets. The opportunity arose to divide melodic phrases among the clarinets and oboes or to make them more brilliant and incisive by doubling them at the unison or octave. - Urtext of the New Mozart Edition - Parts sextet version (BA5333), octet version (BA5334) and study score both versions format 22. 5 x 16. 5cm (TP315) available for sale/ Répertoire / Partition de Poche

Piano Reduction By Andreas Kohs. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Barenreiter en liaison avec les Archives Bach de Leipzig est fière de présenter la nouvelle édition de la Messe en si mineur Cette nouvelle édition présente de nouvelles conclusions et de nouvelles idées.: Des renseignements précieux pour les lectures de la partition autographe de la messe ont été tirées de la section 'Pièces de Dresde''' de 1733, en grande partie écrit par Bach lui-même. Les différentes lectures des parties sont clairement différenciées à partir des lectures de la partition autographe de l'utilisation des passages imprimés en gris. Pour la première fois annotations de JS Bach et CPE Bach peuvent être différenciés en utilisant une analyse d'encre (spectrographie des rayons X de plus de 500 places dans la partition). Toutes les corrections, ajouts et modifications par le fils de Bach et des lieux qui restent douteuses (en raison de l'érosion d'encre ferro-gallique) figurent dans l'édition entre crochets.
