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

Par CLERC EMMANUEL. Quatre textes mis en musique pour quatuor à cordes : une évocation du grillon qui vit caché et heureux, du chat qui sert en voulant nuire, de la montagne qui accouche d'une souris, et enfin de la rose-thé, la plus délicate de toutes ! Musiques exquises, tout en nuances, aux mélodies raffinées et aux harmonies subtiles qui éclairent d'un jour nouveau ces textes du XVIIIe ou XIXe. Des mélodies élégantes pour illustrer ces fables sensibles, astucieuses ou espiègles/ Recueil / Quatuor à Cordes

Par CLERC EMMANUEL. Dans ce trio à cordes en trois mouvements, Emmanuel Clerc est inspiré par la mer, par la poésie de Pierre Loti ou de Baudelaire, mais aussi par Jean Cras, compositeur marin s'il en fut... Comme un lent cheminement vers la lumière, une musique calme, sereine et légère nous conduit peu à peu vers le lieu de tous les rêves, en une lente ascension que la houle rythme de son doux balancement. Inspiré par la beauté des mots, tour à tour paisible, doux et contemplatif, puis animé, agité et balancé, ce trio nous mène en une lente initiation vers la révélation lointaine de ce lieu mythique qu'est l'île de Pâques. / Date parution : 2008-11-01/ Recueil / Trio à Cordes

Par KOSKINEN JUHA T.. Juha T. Koskinen's (b. 1972) responsiveness to timbre and particular inetrest to take into account the musical dramaturgy as a parameter in the duration of the movements are important in the String quartet no. 3 (2022). The aim of the composer 'is to provide the listener with clear musical marks, using which one can navigate on the ocean of one's own mind.' This product includes the full score and string parts. / Date parution : 2022-12-12/ Répertoire / Quatuor à Cordes

Par HEINIO MIKKO. Mikko Heiniö's Alla madre (2007) abandons the traditional virtuoso concerto concept: here a large orchestra engages in dialogue with a solo violin. The first movement is called Arrivo, ?Arrival?: the soloist literally arrives later, and by degrees, playing his/her first two solos offstage. Even then the orchestra continues to take the initiative for a long time. Not until the second movement, entitled Aura, ?Air or Wind?, does the initiative pass to the solo violin as it sets light to notes in the orchestra harmony like individual lamps. And not until the end of the second movement and the beginning of the third does the solo violin play completely on its own. The title of the first movement, ?Arrival?, underlines the event, the dramaturgy, whereas that of the second movement, ?Aura?, alludes to the texture and the shimmering space. The third movement is the most strongly emotional, as the name Carezza, ?Caress? suggests. This product includes the solo part and the piano reduction (B4 sized). The orchestral material is available from the publisher. The orchestration: 3(III picc)3(III ca)3(III=bcl)3(III=cfg)-4331-13-hp-str / Date parution : 2023-01-24/ Répertoire / Violon et Piano
