Sonata in F major op. 6 for Violoncello and Piano. Aside from the Piano Quartet op. 13 and the Violin Sonata op. 18, the Cello Sonata op. 6 numbers among the most mature works of chamber music from Strauss? early ?uvre. The influences of Mendelssohn, Schumann, and Brahms are noticeable, while leaving sufficient space for a very personal tonal language, often with surprising rhythmic and harmonic turns of phrase. Strauss subjected the first version completed in early 1881 to a radical revision over the winter of 1882/83; the opening movement was thoroughly reworked, the two subsequent movements rewritten completely. It was worth it, because after the premiere in Dresden, the composer wrote to his mother, ?My sonata garnered extraordinary acclaim, the applause was enormous, congratulations came to me from all sides.?

An authoritative urtext edition of Chopin's Polonaise Brilliante Op.3 and his Duo Concertant for Cello and Piano edited by Ernst-Gunter Heinemann.

The circumstances in which these poetic ?Soirée Pieces? (thus their original title) came into being are quite surprising. In 1849 Dresden was seized by violent political turmoil that ultimately forced Schumann to fleewith Clara to the countryside. Yet none of this is apparent in the music of these three pieces whose idyllic character signifies a longing for harmony and seclusion. Originally conceived for the Clarinet they were accompanied byalternative parts for Violin and Cello as early as the original print. We have subjected our editions to a thoroughgoing critique and include a section of detailed editorial notes.

Compositeur : Beethoven, Ludwig van Instrumentation : Violoncello and Piano Editeur Musicologique : Zimmermann, Ewald Couverture Reliée Contenu : 12 Variations on Ein Mädchen oder Weibchen from Mozart's Zauberflöte F major op. 66 12 Variations on a theme from Händel's Oratorio Judas Maccabäus G major WoO 45 7 Variations on Bei Männern, welche Liebe fühlen from Mozart's Zauberflöte E flat major WoO 46 Les variations sur un thème plaisant, puisé le plus souvent dans les opéras contemporains, étaient des plus populaires à la fin du XVIIIe. Le jeune Beethoven lui aussi apporte sa contribution à ce genre. On ignore si le compositeur est parti d’une occasion concrète pour la composition de ses trois cycles de Variations pour violoncelle et piano: elles utilisent deux thèmes de la «Flûte enchantée» de Mozart et un thème de l’oratorio «Judas Maccabée» de Haendel. Le nombre de réimpressions effectuées à l’époque donne une idée de la grande popularité dont elles ont joui dès le début. Notre révision se base sur les nouvelles données apportées par le commentaire critique de l’édition complète des œuvres de Beethoven (parution en 2008).

Aside from his popular Violin Concerto no. 1 ?Kol Nidrei? numbers among Max Bruch?s most famous compositions. The melancholy ?Adagio after Hebrew melodies? was written in 1880 for the cellist Robert Hausmann. It treats two old Jewish songs whose extraordinary beauty proved deeply moving to the Protestant Bruch by his own admission. The tenor Cello sound is the ideal medium for the voice of a Jewish cantor and thus to this day ?Kol Nidrei? offers every cellist a wonderful opportunity to make the instrument ?sing?. In this text based on the first edition of 1881 ?Kol Nidrei? appears for the first time in an Urtextedition substantiated by scholarly research for which not just the musical sources but also numerous letters and documents from the Max Bruch Archive were consulted. Christian Poltéra was able to be procured for the markings in the solo part.

Version for Violoncello-Camille Saint-Saëns composed his two Romances for Horn for two of the most respected French horn players of the time: Opus 67 in E major from 1866 is dedicated to Henri Chaussier; Opus 36 in F major from 1874 waswritten for Henri Garigue. Despite the illustrious recipients they are not virtuosic showpieces but as the term Romance suggests short ?Songs without words?. Alongside the orchestral version Saint-Saëns also prepareda piano accompaniment for chamber music performances. The first editions even also had an alternative part for Violoncello on which?this edition is based.
