One of the best-loved and most endearing works of the late Baroque Vivaldi's set of Violin Concertos The Four Seasons Op.8 are presented here in an authoritative Barenreiter Urtext edition. This publication of Vivaldi’s masterpiece is a critical performing edition of the Manchester manuscript source which originates from Vivaldi’s circle and represents an alternative (in many cases more explicit) version of these famous concertos than the first printed edition published by Le Cene in Amsterdam in 1725.The Manchester source has until now not been used as the primary basis for a modern performing edition andoffers new readings and evidence for players and listeners alike.With Christopher Hogwood’s new edition a fresh gust of wind has taken hold of The Four Seasons.

for junior string orchestra or two violins and violoncello or violin, viola and violoncello. Par KOCSAR MIKLOS. Kocsár composed the Chaconne for three-part string ensemble in 1996. Originally a popular Baroque musical form, the chaconne is characterized by a set of ground-bass variations. In Kocsár's piece the 23-bar theme is followed by nine variations of diverse characters. The composition lasts about nine minutes and is rounded off with a recapitulation of the theme and a coda. The Chaconne can be performed by junior string orchestras consisting of either two violins and a cello or a violin, a viola, and a cello (with or without double bass), or by string trios consisting of two violins and violoncello or a violin, a viola and a cello. The edition includes a full score and one part for each instrument. If the work is performed by a string orchestra the parts may be copied as required for the number of musicians./ Répertoire / Orchestre à Cordes
