Fantasia In C Minor Op.80 (Choral Fantasy)-This volume contains two of Beethoven's most unusual highly innovative and original works: the Concerto in C Major Op. 56 for piano violin cello and orchestra; and the Fantasia in C Minor Op. 80 for piano chorus and orchestra.To this day the 'Triple Concerto' remains part of a rare breed in the literature--a fascinating symphonic framework of interaction between the classical orchestra and a trio of intimately interdependent soloists. The work remains a favorite vehicle of the great Beethoven specialists with numerous recordings by legendary performers.The 'Choral Fantasy' is a rarity in the Beethoven canon of ensemble music uniting thevirtuoso display of a semi-improvisational solo piano with the vocal and instrumental richness of chorus and orchestra. Said to have been composed under great time pressure the Fantasy concludes with an extensive choral setting of a text by an unknown poet: 'Schmeichelnd hold und lieblich klingen' ('Flatteringly lovely and fair are the sounds of our life?s harmonies...Accept gladly the gifts of beautiful art...').Reprinted from the authoritative Breitkopf & Härtel editions this volume offers musicians and music lovers an inexpensive high-quality full score of two exceptional works.

Music from the last movement of the Ninth Symphony. Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. The European Hymn is the hymn not only of the European Union but of Europe in a broader sense. The melody has been taken from the Ninth Symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven from 1823. In the last movement of this symphony Beethoven set music to the 'Ode to Joy' by Friedrich von Schiller from 1785. This poem sprang from Schiller's idealistic vision of men who become brothers – a vision Beethoven shared with him. In 1972 the Council of Europe adopted Beethoven's 'Ode to Joy' as its anthem. The well-known conductor Herbert von Karajan was commissioned to arrange three instrumental versions – for solo piano, wind orchestra and symphony orchestra. Without words, in the universal language of music, the anthem is an expression of the idealistic values of freedom, peace and solidarity which Europe stands for. In 1985 the heads of state and government adopted the hymn as the EU's official anthem. It does not replace the national anthems of the member states, but rather celebrates common values as well as unity in diversity. The score of this offical anthem is exclusively available from the Schott publishing house./ Répertoire / Orchestre

Opus 67-Beethoven is presumed to have completed his 5th Symphony in early 1808; today it is one of the most famous works of classical music of all. Its nickname ?Fate Symphony? was given to it posthumously byBeethoven?s biographer Anton Schindler; a title which no longer plays a role in modern-day Beethoven scholarship.Based on the recently published musical text of the Beethoven Complete Edition andsupplied with a new preface by editor Jens Dufner one of the most vibrant and stimulating orchestral works of the standard repertoire is now available in a practical format for travel study or the concert hall.

When Beethoven received a commission from Vienna’s Burgtheater to compose stage music for Goethe’s tragedy Egmont in 1809 he viewed it as a great honour. The impetus would have been all the stronger sincethe drama about a Dutch nobleman who falls victim to a plot by a Spanish ruler from the outset provided for music at several points. Beethoven repeatedly declared later on that he had received no honorarium from thetheatre’s management but had written the music “solely out of love for the poet”. The overture became separated from the rest of the incidental music very early on; it was separately published and soon performedas a concert piece independent of the stage tragedy. We now issue it as a study score based on the text of the Beethoven Complete Edition and with a new preface.

Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. Prise en tenaille entre les célèbres Symphonies n° 7 et n° 9, la relativement courte 8e Symphonie a, aujourd’hui encore, un statut particulier. Déjà après sa création en février 1814, un critique signala qu’elle n’avait déclenché «keine Furore», aucune fureur. Du premier coup d’œil, elle retourne à des formes et à des genres déjà dépassés, allant même jusqu’à réintroduire, après un Allegretto scherzoso, à nouveau un Menuet (et non un mouvement lent) en troisième place. Mais Beethoven se mesure intensément à l’histoire de la musique, brise les comportements et les modèles traditionnels et parvient à de nouvelles solutions surprenantes, qui font de la Huitième un jalon essentiel dans l’histoire de la symphonie. Basée sur le texte musical de l’édition complète des œuvres de Beethoven et accompagnée d’une nouvelle préface, cette toute récente édition fait état du stade actuel de la recherche beethovénienne. Avec cette édition d’étude, ce texte est maintenant accessible à tous à peu de frais et dans un format maniable. / Date parution : 2020-07-04/ Répertoire / Orchestre Symphonique

Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. Après que les premières esquisses en eurent été jetées sur le papier dès 1815, il fallut attendre jusqu’en 1824 pour parvenir à la conclusion de la dernière symphonie achevée de Beethoven. Avec son Finale étendu, dans lequel interviennent solistes et chœur avec leur appel à la fraternité, pour former un pont avec la cantate symphonique, elle présente une rupture dont l’effet se fit fortement sentir dans l’histoire de la symphonie tout au long du XIXe siècle. Le thème principal de l’Ode «An die Freude» («À la joie») de Friedrich Schiller est devenu l’une des mélodies les plus populaires de toute la musique classique et constitue aujourd’hui l’Hymne européen.

Op. 84. Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. Beethoven?s incidental music op. 84 was written in 1809 for a performance of Goethe?s drama ?Egmont? at the Burgtheater in Vienna. Numerous composers of the day tried their hand at writing music for the dramatic material of Goethe?s tragedy, several in collaboration with the author himself. The overture reflects the themes of the play through its expressive music, and over the last two hundred years it has become one of the most popular works by Beethoven conceived for the stage. For this new edition, Beethoven specialist Jonathan Del Mar draws on various manuscript sources including a handwritten set of parts which has never been taken into account before. Thus, numerous discrepancies such as missing notes in the flute part or unclear bowing could be clarified for the first time. / Date parution : 2022-04-05/ RĂ©pertoire / Orchestre

2nd Movement. Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN / MEYER RICHARD (Arr.) . This theme and variations from Beethoven's Seventh Symphony is one of the most famous slow movements in the entire symphonic repertoire. Because of its somber minor key and quiet rhythmic pulse, it has been likened to a procession through the catacombs. Your students will love the wide variety of emotions included here in Richard Meyer's arrangement. Every section plays an integral role in the slow and mysterious unfolding of Beethoven's masterpiece. Percussion parts for four players have been tastefully added to the original. / Date parution : 2022-10-12/ RĂ©pertoire / Orchestre
