Romance in F major for Violoncello and Orchestra-Just a few months after completing his Cello Sonata op. 6 Strauss composed another work for this instrument: a Romance for cello and orchestra which remained unpublished during his lifetime. According to the autograph manuscript the composition was finished on June 27 1883 and Strauss also prepared the piano reduction himself. The Romance is regarded as one of Strauss??? most mature youthful works though it was long overshadowed by the cello sonata despite several quite successful performances given by the then-famous principal cellist of the Munich Court Orchestra Hanu? Wihan. Only since the posthumous first edition of 1986 has the music world been rediscoveringthis striking work which now also appears in a Henle Urtext edition.

Urtextausgabe-In his Serenade no. 2 op. 16 composed in 1858 60 Johannes Brahms keeps to the usual smaller scoring for this genre using pairs of winds and horns as well as low strings (no violins!).?His friendClara Schumann was ?delighted? with the work but the public reaction was restrained and even Brahms himself was not happy with some details. Thus 15 years after the first performance he rigorously revised theserenade.?Henle are now publishing this definitive version from 1875 that was ?new revised by the author? as a study score with the musical text from the Brahms Complete Edition.

According to his dating of the autograph Haydn composed the Symphony no. 89 in F major in 1787 just one year after the six so-called Paris symphonies. It was written together with its sister work the G-major Symphony no. 88 for the violinist Johann Tost who sold it to the Parisian publisher Sieber. In both works Haydn continues the compositional achievements of the Paris symphonies: mastery of orchestration richness of musical ideas and details and an idiosyncratic multicoloured use of the wind section (which still makes do without Clarinets). In contrast to the buoyant G-major symphony the F-major symphony possesses a ratherpastoral sweet character which in parts can nevertheless soar to dramatic heights. This study edition reproduces the musical text of the Haydn Complete Edition which is a guarantor of the finest scholarship. An informative preface and a brief critical report make this handy score an ideal companion for all Haydn fans both present and future.

Ludwig van Beethoven
Symphonie n° 6 en Fa majeur (Pastorale) op. 68
Jens Dufner (Editeur)
Beethoven acheva sa Sixième Symphonie, qu?il intitula «Pastorale», probablement au début de l?été 1808. Elle fut donnée en première audition au même concert que la Cinquième, à Vienne, en décembre de la même année. Les deux symphonies sont communément considérées comme des oeuvres contrastantes complémentaires. Avec un texte musical repris des oeuvres complètes de Beethoven, qui reflète l?état actuel des recherches sur Beethoven, et une nouvelle préface, voici une édition accessible à tous grâce au format de poche pratique et avantageux. / Partitions classique / Ensemble et orchestre / Conducteur / HENLE VERLAG

Brahms s?acharna pendant des ann?es sur l??criture de sa premi?re symphonie. Son impuissance face ? l??uvre de Beethoven semblait le paralyser. ? ce propos il ?crivit d?ailleurs un jour ? son ami le chef d?orchestre Hermann Levi: ?Je ne composerai jamais de symphonie! Tu n?as aucune id?e de ce que cela peut avoir d?impressionnant pour nous d?entendre toujours un tel g?ant (Beethoven) marcher derri?re soi?. Brahms y parvint pourtant en octobre 1876 et sa premi?re symphonie donna lieu aussit?t aux premi?res ex?cutions ? couronn?es de succ?s ? ? Karlsruhe Mannheim Munich et Vienne. Cette ?uvre publi?e dans le cadre de notre nouvelle ?dition compl?te des ?uvres de Brahms faitl?objet ici d?une ?dition en format d??tude. Dans la pr?face ? cette ?dition urtext en petit format notre ?diteur et sp?cialiste de Brahms Robert Pascall apporte des informations int?ressantes sur la gen?se et l?histoire de l??dition de l??uvre.

Les nombreux divertimenti pour cordes et vents de Haydn sont de la musique de circonstance d?humeur joyeuse. On connaît mal le contexte de leur composition. Cependant un grand nombre de ces divertimenti sont relativement précoces et datent de l?époque où Haydn se maintenait à flot en composant des ?uvres de commande. C?est d?ailleurs le cas du divertimento en sol majeur Hob. II:9 composé pour la formation inhabituelle comportant deux hautbois deux cors deux violons deux altos et basse continue. Il s?agit vraisemblablement d?une ?uvre de commande des années 1750. Sa vitalité débordante laisse déjà éclater le génie de Haydn.

Symphony in Eb major Hob. I:103 (Drumroll)-The twelve London Symphonies??? comprise the sublime final statement of Haydn???s symphonic ??uvre. They were written for the London impresario Johann Peter Salomon and Haydn himself conducted their premieres during his lengthy stays in the English metropolis in 1791/92 and 1794/95. The E-flat-major Symphony no. 103 was composed in 1795 as the penultimate of the London Symphonies. It owes its epithet to its unique beginning: a solo drumroll in the timpani ushers in the slow introduction. This opening bar marked with Haydn???s heading Intrada??? and a pause even inspires many a performer to venture a short timpani improvisation.
