“Four Studies was written for Angela and Jennifer Chun in 2014. Each movement has a drone which lasts for the duration of the movement. The first bar of movements 1 and 4 can be quite long. The drone should remain loosely indifferent to the other part, avoiding any overly-dramatic commentary. That having been said, the droning player should feel free to subtly and constantly change the nature of the sound. Rests are meant to be played freely, expanding and contracting as the spirit moves the soloists, but the notes should be played in relatively even time. The space between the movements can work either with very short pauses or with no pauses at all; this is left up to the discretion of the performers.” – Nico MuhlyApproximately 12 minutes.

Nicola Mestrino (1748-1789) was employed for a time in the Esterházy court orchestra under the direction of Joseph Haydn. He later settled in Paris and became one of the most celebrated violin virtuosos of the period. He was also a composer, and one of his most successful works was this set of three violin duets which was published in no fewer than four contemporary editions in Paris, Vienna, Amsterdam and the German city of Offenbach. In these duets consisting of either three or two movements, the two violins have absolutely equal roles.Nicola Mestrino (1748-1789) wirkte eine Zeit lang im Orchester am Hof Esterházy unter der Leitung von Joseph Haydn. Später zog er nach Paris und wurde einer der bekanntesten Geigenvirtuosen seiner Epoche. Daneben komponierte er auch, eines seiner erfolgreichsten Werke sind die drei Violinduette, die damals nicht weniger als vier Ausgaben in Paris, Wien, Amsterdam und Offenbach (D) erlebten. Diese vier Ausgaben bilden die Quellen der Edition im neuesten Band der URTEXT-Serie, die von István Kertész, dem ersten Geiger des weltbekannten Festetics-Streichquartetts, gefertigt wurde. In den zwei- und dreisätzigen Duette haben die beiden Violinen vollkommen gleichberechtigte Rolleninne.

The easy violin duos by Johann Sebastian Bach, arranged by Gustav Lenzewski, have always been very popular. Wolfgang Birtel has re-edited the collection, adopting the entire arrangement except for a few movements and adding further well-known pieces by Bach. The level of difficulty ranges from very easy to advanced. The original fingering and bowing have all been maintained; numerous articulation marks, however, have been deleted as they do no longer correspond to the modern way of playing Baroque music. The ideal edition for music lessons or music-making at home.

Vier Stücke für Klavier by Mark Andre is a six-minute work for solo piano comprising four concise and intricate movements. Informed by the philosophy of Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger, and referencing the Gospel of Matthew, Vier Stücke für Klavier is focused on compositional instability, on the unfolding and ‘deterritorialisation’ of perceptual phenomena, which open fissures in the musical structure.
Vier Stücke für Klavier was commissioned by the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany in Seoul for “140 Years of German-Korean Relations” at the Seoul Arts Centre (SAC), as well as the Performing Arts Management Association of Korea and Asiana Airlines. The world premiere took place at Seoul Art Center on 23rd August 2023 with pianist Jong Hwa Park.

This work collects together basic musical gestures, and while not aiming at completeness, the twelve movements nevertheless form a loose cycle. They are compositional studies, insofar as they explore the ultimate limits of musical density, but also instrumental studies in the traditional sense: each individual movement sets a precisely defined technical and intellectual task for the performer. (Jessica Collewijn) Das Stück vereinigt musikalische Grundgesten in sich, wobei die zwölf Sätze - wenn auch ohne Anspruch auf Vollständigkeit - einen lockeren Zyklus bilden. Es handelt sich um kompositorische Etüden, wenn man nach den äußersten Grenzen musikalischer Knappheit forscht, aber auch um instrumentale Etüden im üblichen Sinne, denn jeder einzelne Satz weist dem Interpreten eine genau umrissene technische und intellektuelle Aufgabe zu. (Jessica Collewijn).
