String quartet SKU: FG.55011-510-1 Composed by Matthew Whittall. Score and parts. Fennica Gehrman #55011-510-1. Published by Fennica Gehrman (FG.55011-510-1). ISBN 9790550115101. Matthew Whittall's preface to Bright Ferment (2019): I have a complicated history with the string quartet. Actually, it's not that complicated. I spent months writing a huge one in my early twenties and hastily withdrew it after a long delayed premiere, vowing never to write another. In a typical case of karmic retribution, my fear of the form would eventually be overcome by the unrefusable offer to write the compulsory piece for the Banff International String Quartet Competition in my native Canada. The short duration requested, about nine minutes, also felt like a good way to wade gingerly back into the medium. The title was originally just a nice-sounding pair of words that surfaced in a brainstorming session with fellow composer Alex Freeman over an injudicious amount of fermented barley. When I looked it up later, I found that it was a phrase of older coinage, seemingly used more for poetic resonance than any fixed meaning. Ferment by itself denotes a state of confusion, change or lack of order. With bright, it takes on a more positive connotation with regard to society and creativity: a wild profusion of ideas barely checked by reason. (It may not actually mean that, but it describes this piece nicely, so let's go with it.) Fermentation in its trendy culinary usage is also hinted at via a recurrent percolating device of scattered pizzicati. As one may guess from the tone of this introduction, there is little attempt at gravity in Bright Ferment, the only means by which I felt I could sidestep the historical and expressive weight of the string quartet genre. Styles, gestures and moods are tossed around, cross-cut and abandoned in stream-of-consciousness fashion, connected by little except an intuitive sense of rightness in their juxtaposition. If the piece acquires depth in spite of me, it will only be because its disparate parts amplify and strengthen each other simply by being together - much like the ensemble itself. Bright Ferment was commissioned by the Banff Centre for the Arts and Creativity and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, with additional funding from the Americas Society (New York), for the 2019 Banff International String Quartet Competition.

String Quartet - difficult SKU: HL.49008206 Score and Parts. Composed by Peteris Vasks. This edition: Saddle stitching. Sheet music. Edition Schott. Classical. Score and Parts. Composed 1977/1997. 86 pages. Duration 15'. Schott Music #ED 8899. Published by Schott Music (HL.49008206). ISBN 9790001124003. UPC: 073999655742. 9.0x12.0x0.34 inches. With serious string players this Latvian composer has long been recognized because of his sonorous tonal concepts and his modal, occasionally aleatoric idiom. Works like 'Cantabile per Archi' or 'Musica dolorosa' are already quite well-known, but newer pieces like the violin concerto with string orchestra 'Fernes Licht', commissioned by Gidon Kremer for his Kremerata Baltica, are also gaining wide international exposure. The genre of the string quartet is well represented in Vasks' output. The 2nd string quartet 'Summer Tunes' (ED 8512) has been published for some time and the 3rd was premiered by the Kronos Quartet who were so enthused that they commissioned a 4th quartet. In 1996, prompted by a complete recording of all his string quartets by the Miami String Quartet for Conifer Records Vasks totally revised his early 1st string quartet 1996, it is here presented for the first time in a printed edition. $51.00 - See more - Buy online | | | |

2 violins, viola, cello (Violins (2), Viola, Violoncello) SKU: BA.BA06857 Composed by Leos Janacek. Edited by LeoÅ¡ Faltus and MiloÅ¡ Å tedron. This edition: complete edition, urtext edition. Linen. Complete Critical Edition of the Works of Leos Janacek E/4. Complete edition, Score, Set of parts. Composed 1928. No. 2. Duration 26 minutes. Baerenreiter Verlag #BA06857_00. Published by Baerenreiter Verlag (BA.BA06857). ISBN 9790260100503. 34.3 x 27 cm inches. Janácek’s 2nd String Quartet, “Intimate Lettersâ€, is regarded as a highlight of the modern string quartet literature. It was written during the composer’s last year of life, between 29 January and 19 February 1928, inspired by the ageing Janácek’s exceptional love for Kamila Stösslová. The Moravian Quartet devoted themselves to this impressive work; Janácek attended a total of three of their rehearsals in May and June 1928. This had several consequences, including his abandoning his original idea of using a viola d’amore.
After Janácek’s unexpected death (12 August 1928) the uncertain genesis of the work became the greatest problem of the “Intimate Lettersâ€: the surviving copies were not definitively authorised.
The editors of this new edition have reverted to Janácek’s autograph sketches as the main, most reliable source and using these as a basis, have reconstructed the work as it stood at the point of Janácek’s death.
The musical text therefore contains clear differences in comparison with older editions.

Duration 520 seconds. Bote & Bock #M202535967. Published by Bote & Bock (HL.48025044). UPC: 196288021735. For its farewell season after 35 years, the Nomos Quartet from Hanover created a concert series in 2019 around the works by Ludwig van Beethoven, who had set standards in the field of string quartets. For this event, the ensemble commissioned a new work from Irister Schiphorst, in which the composer at first studied Beethoven's first contribution to the genre. However, her distance from the reference piece became greater than initially planned, and the question that moved centre-stage was: 'How does Beethoven's music resonate in me at all? Is it musical gestures, themes or moods?' The tonal result of this composing self-exploration is - rich in contrast, often noise-like and pushing the dynamic range to its limits - the personal reformulation of Beethovian 'pathos formulas',i. e. signs of passionate experience embodied in the universal cultural heritage. $90.00 - See more - Buy online | | | |

String Quartet - difficult SKU: HL.49008109 Score and Parts. Composed by Peteris Vasks. This edition: Saddle stitching. Sheet music. Edition Schott. Classical. Score and Parts.

'Christmas * Peace on Earth' is the leading motive of the String Quartet, a tenet of faith as well as an expression of hope. In the first part of the work Vasks uses themes from a well-known Christmas carol, while the second part is strongly influenced by Latvian folksongs and dances. The third section, with a chromaticiscm strongly reminiscent of Shostakovitch, investigates and questions the feasibility of any peace in our society. The final, calm and slightly melancholy section symbolizes 'Peace on Earth' by means of sonorous sustained choirs. $69.00 - See more - Buy online | | | |
