in E flat major. Par STEFANI JAN. Composition was completed at the beginning of 1825, in stylistic terms it falls between Classicism and Romanticism. The straddling of stylistic epochs is evident in the four-movement design of the quartet, which refers do Classical solutions established during the previous centrury also in other genres. Nethertheles, it is worth drawing attention to the third movement, the minuet, which represented something of a testing ground for contrasting tradition with progress, history with the present, and formal with frivolous, which these popular dances may have symbolised. Stylistic hanges heading towards Romanticism are evident also in the way the work's melodic layer is organise. The Józef Stefani's advanced compositional skills prove his crucial contribution to the evolution of the string quartet on Polish soil. And the catchy melodic phases - for which Stefani ceirtanly had a gift - will stir the emotions of a many listener. / Date parution : 2023-06-01/ Répertoire / Quatuor à Cordes

Mon deuxième quatuor à cordes, Crescent Scratches, s'inscrit dans la continuité du premier, Scratches, sans toutefois recourir au dispositif électronique qui, dans le premier quatuor, me permettait d'amplifier les timbres et de transformer le son en temps réel.Le terme de 'crescent scratch' provient des techniques de jeu développées par les DJ sur leurs platines vinyles ('scratch' ou 'scratching') que l'on retrouve dans le hip-hop et les musiques industrielles.Crescent Scratches est conçu à partir de deux principales idées : le glissando saturé (fréquemment pulsé), assimilable au 'scratch', provoqué par l'aller-retour du disque sur la platine, et la notion de boucle qui consiste à reproduire une même séquence, variée ou non. J'ai conçu des boucles et agi sur leur vitesse d'exécution, sur leur superposition en strates et leur traitement par caractéristiques de timbre. Cela finit par rendre quasiment imperceptible le retour des boucles - un phénomène qui m'a particulièrement intéressé dans cette composition. La boucle se meut en micro-élément, moteur d'une intense activité dans une macrostructure, cette macrostructure elle-même étant dès lors perçue comme une masse totalement saturée en évènements.La continuité entre ces deux quatuors se situe pour moi du côté du timbre et plus précisément dans la notation des différentes positions et pressions d'archet engendrant une large palette de sonorités saturées créant comme une aura autour du son des instruments. L'idée de 'scratch' comme onomatopée décrivant une rayure, une éraflure, une rupture ou une déchirure reste également au centre du propos de Crescent Scratches.Au-delà de l'électronique, l'endroit où se décèle la différence entre ces deux quatuors est dans la structuration de la forme et la gestion des événements. Crescent Scratches s'organise en un bloc d'une grande densité dans le traitement simultané des quatre instruments qui s'unissent là où, dans Scratches, j'articulais la forme en une succession de moments en solo, duo, trio et tutti.Yann Robin / Quatuor A Cordes

Any violinist who hears the name Sitt nowadays will probably just think of the author of studies and exercises that have long been a familiar feature in instrumental lessons. Of course the Prague violinist, music teacher and composer Hans Sitt (1850-1922) made a significant impact on methods of violin teaching, but he also wrote a whole series of other works worth listening to: concertos for violin, viola and cello and chamber music for various combinations of instruments. Sitt studied the violin in Prague and was then appointed first as leader of the orchestra and then as musical director in Breslau (now called Wroc?aw).After posts as director of music in Prague, Chemnitz - where he championed the work of Smetana - and Nice, he was eventually appointed professor of violin, orchestral playing and score reading at the Leipzig Conservatoire from 1884-1921. Besides this he also played viola in the Brodsky Quartet, organised concerts and was conductor of the Bach Society. The composers Franco Alfano - who completed Puccini's unfinished opera Turandot- and Frederick Delius studied with Sitt, as did the conductor Václav Talich. Three Album Leaves op. 13 were also composed during his time in Leipzig, published by Bosworth and Co in 1894. Romanesca, #1 in that collection, is a pretty, slightly melancholy piece of music with romantic appeal that draws out lyrical and expressive playing and is thus eminently suitable for tuition purposes and concert performances. / Violon Et Piano

Edizione critica di - Critical edition by Italo Vescovo. Par PAGANINI NICCOLO. This Capriccio per violino solo M.S. 54 should be considered as part of the group of short musical dedications that Paganini was in the habit of giving away to friends, colleagues and the personalities he met during his travels. Dated 1828, dedicated to Count Maurizio Dietrichstein, is a truly unique work, not only for the way in which the music is organised (notated on four staves, one for each string) but also because of the way in which it was conceived musically. The concept of polyphony is brought to an extreme level, at least in conceptual and visual terms, in this composition. Its brief structure is reminiscent of a kind of four-part chorale written in score. It is characterised by its lyrical and elegant writing style, where the four voices move in polyphonic fashion, giving birth to an extremely refined harmonic texture. This critical edition is based on the manuscript kept in the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek of Vienna compared with the modern editions. / Niveau : Avancé / Répertoire / Violon
