Ivan Muller was born in Reval, Russia (now Tallinin, Estonia) on December 3, 1786, and died in Buckeburg (Germany) in 1854. In 1808-09 he performed widely as a clarinet virtuoso in Berlin, Leipzig, Wien, Paris and many other places where he also presented the new 'clarinette omnitonique' in B flat which he had invented. That system of keys used in Germany to this day is based on Mullers invention. As a composer Muller was an exponent of the early Romantic style and wrote numerous concertos for his chosen instrument as well as this Serenade for Clarinet and Piano (or Harp or Guitar). The editor Dieter Klocker writes: ''These rather beautiful and accessible Romantic miniatures enjoyed great popularity in their day and I assume that even today they will meet with the approval of professional and amateur players alike.''.

The brief discussions that precede each score cover the full range of issues encountered in real conducting situations, and the accompanying online videos show Maestro Itkin demonstrating the techniques for each excerpt.

Over the years Janácek’s uvre has increasingly received the recognition it so richly merits and performances of his works are becoming more and more frequent. This development is, however, offset by a manuscript tradition so disorderly that some of Janácek’s works continue, as before, to be played in versions which are heavily adapted, corrupt or otherwise contrary to the composer’s intentions. Thus, a critical edition of Janácek’s music is indispensable for scholars and performers alike.This edition presents an authentic printed text based on all available sources for each work. In addition to the musical text, each volume also contains a critical report (Czech/German), a rendition of deleted or rejected versions, and a comprehensive appendix of facsimiles.

This work in four sections is written for a four-part variable instrumentation together with drums. We start off_x001E_ in the _x001F_first movement on an adventurous safari. In the second and third movements we’re on the hunt for great beasts of Africa, which can also be heard with all their stomping, screeching and yelling. A wonderful musical safari that all musicians and listeners alike will enjoy! Dit werk voor vierstemmige variabele bezetting met slagwerk beschrijft in vier deeltjes verschillende taferelen van het Afrikaanse continent. In het eerste deel gaan we op safari. In het tweede deel gaan we op zoek naar een olifant, een neushoorn, een luipaard een leeuw en een buffel. Welke reptielen kunnen we ontdekken in het derde deel? En hoe kan het beter stoppen dan met een ‘Monkey Rock’? Tijdens het werk kun je actief verschillende dierengeluiden nabootsen, waardoor je je echt in de jungle waant!Dieses vierteilige Werk ist für eine vierstimmig variable Besetzung und Schlagzeug instrumentiert. Der Titel spricht schon für sich: In African Scenes spielt der schwarze Kontinent die Hauptrolle. Im ersten Satz starten wir zu einer abenteuerlichen Safari. Im zweiten Teil geht es auf die Suche nach den ‚Big Five’ - den großen Fünf“: Elefant, Nashorn, Leopard, Löwe und Büffel. Im dritten Satz begegnen wir allerlei unheimlichen Reptilien, bevor das Werk fröhlich mit dem ‚Monkey Rock’ endet, in dem auch ein Affenruf vertont wird.Cette pièce en quatre mouvements est une oeuvre instrumentation variable quatre voix et percussions. Le titre parle de lui-même : dans African Scenes, le continent Noir tient le premier rôle. Le premier mouvement nous entraîne dans un safari plein d’émotions. Dans le deuxième nous observons les grands seigneurs de la savane : éléphant, rhinocéros, léopard, lion et buffl_x001A_e. Le climat du troisième mouvement donne un peu la chair de poule alors que nous rencontrons toutes sortes de reptiles dangereux. Heureusement, l’oeuvre s’achève avec le joyeux Monkey Rock, au cours duquel nous entendons même le cri d’un singe.Questo brano in quattro parti è pensato per strumentazione variabile a quattro voci e percussioni. Il titolo parla da solo: in African Scenes il continente nero riveste il ruolo principale. Il primo movimento vede i protagonisti iniziare un avventuroso safari. Nella seconda parte inizia la ricerca dei “Big-Fiveâ€: elefante, rinoceronte, leopardo, leone e bufalo. Il terzo movimento si caratterizza dall’inaspettato incontro con rettili rari, e precede il quarto e ultimo movimento. Monkey Rock, in stile più giocoso, rappresenta l’incontro con una simpatica e vivace scimmietta.

The Urtext edition of what is arguably the most often played double-bass work of all was long overdue. The work was previously available only in an abridged and arranged form. The edition departs from the sole extant source, a set of parts from the estate of the composer and double-bass virtuoso Johannes Sperger. The score and orchestral parts as well as the piano reduction are printed in E major as well as D major so as to make the work playable both in orchestral or Viennese tuning as well as in solo tuning. The piano reduction contains additional cadenzas by the editor.I hope players will convert to this edition.(Clifford Bartlett, in: Early Music Review, No. 142, June 2011)An exciting addition to the bassist's library. This definitive score will assist teachers and performers alike.(Marian Heckenburg, AUSTA Stringendo).

2011 was a disastrous year for Japan: on March 11 the northeast of the country suffered a violent earthquake, which triggered a huge tsunami and caused massive damage to people and the environment. The ensuing problems with the nuclear reactor atFukushima only increased the misery: a black day in the country's history...One almost inevitable consequence of such dramatic circumstances is the particular damage suffered by the cultural arts. And so it was in Japan: various high school wind orchestras in the effected areas lost their practice rooms and/or instruments.It will take a long time before the damage suffered is repaired - and it will take great effort to overcome the psychological effects, too. Focusing on the latter, Yutada Nishida (director of The Bandwagon radio program) asked a few composers fora simple work that could be played by many orchestras. It just so happened that the Osakan Philharmonic Winds (with whom Jan Van der Roost had conducted a concert exclusively of his own works on September 25th) had had a similar idea. This concert saw the baptism of Song of Hope. This pieceimmediately struck a chord with musicians and audience alike: it begins bleakly in the low register and evolves to a more open, optimistic close. There really is hope for better times!2011 was een rampzalig jaar voor Japan: op 11 maart teisterde een hevige aardbeving het noordoosten van het land, bracht een enorme tsunami teweeg en veroorzaakte zeer grote schade aan mens en natuur. De daaruit voortvloeiende problemenmet dekernreactor van Fukushima maakten de ellende nog groter: een zwarte pagina in het bestaan van het land ... Dat in dergelijke dramatische omstandigheden ook (en vooral) het culturele bestel een flinke knauw krijgt, ishelaas een haastonvermijdelijke consequentie. Zo ook in Japan: verschillende high school bands in de getroffen regio verloren hun repetitieruimte en/of instrumenten: het zal lang duren voordat de geleden schade is hersteld - enhet zal ook moeite kosten om er mentaalweer bovenop te geraken. Met het oog op dat laatste aspect verzocht Yutaka Nishida (samensteller van het radioprogramma The Bandwagon) een paar componisten om een eenvoudig werkje te schrijvendat speelbaar is door een groot aantal orkesten. Alsbij toeval kwam een dergelijk verzoek eveneens van de kant van de OSAKAN Philharmonic Winds, waarmee Jan Van der Roost op 25 september een concert dirigeerde, uitsluitend gewijdaan eigen werken. Daar werd Song of Hope dan ook ten doop gehoudenen het werkje sloeg meteen aan bij uitvoerders en publiek: na een tamelijk donkere start in het lage register evolueert het tot een optimistischer en opener slot.Er is inderdaad hoop op betere tijden!Am 11. März 2011 löste ein heftiges Erdbeben in Japan einen riesigen Tsunami mit desaströsen Folgen für Mensch, Natur auch das kulturelle Leben. Yutaka Nishida vom Radioprogramm The Bandwagon bat daher einige Komponisten, darunter Jan Van derRoost, ein einfaches, für viele Orchester spielbares Werk zu schreiben. Song of Hope beginnt düster im tiefen Register, um sich dann zu einem optimistischeren Schluss hin zu entwickeln. Es gibt sie, die Hoffnung auf bessere Zeiten... !Le 11 mars 2011, un violent tremblement de terre secoua le Japon et déclencha un tsunami gigantesque, avec des conséquences désastreuses pour la population et l’environnement. Yutaka Nishida, animateur radio de lémission, The Bandwagon a doncdemandé plusieurs compositeurs, y compris Jan Van der Roost, d’écrire des pièces faciles interpréter, pour les orchestres locaux. Song of Hope (Chant de lespoir) s’ouvre par une ligne mélodique dans le registre grave, qui évoluera tout aulong de la pièce afin d’aboutir une conclusion pétillante d’optimisme. Des jours meilleurs se profilent l’horizon ! Il 2011 é stato un anno tragico per il Giappone, al devastante terremoto e al non meno catastrofico tsunami dell'11 marzo, sono seguiti i gravi problemi al reattore nucleare di Fukushima. Il settore della cultura in generale, e quellodella musica in particolare hanno sofferto immensamente a causa di questi nefasti eventi naturali. Song of Hope é un brano che ha profondamente commosso esecutori e pubblico.Song of Hope inizia nel registro acuto con suoni oscuri e melanconici, ma si sviluppa in un clima di ottimismo, come a voler simboleggiare un futuro pié sereno.

Mozart’s magnificent unfinished “Great Mass in C minor K. 427†is impressive not only for its monumentality and musical beauty but for its fragmentary state which has fascinated scholars and performers for decades.Working together with the International Mozarteum Foundation in Salzburg, Barenreiter now presents a new edition of this work, reflecting the cutting edge of scholarship while doing justice to the needs of performers.High scholarly standards, the completion and reconstruction of movements: this pioneering publication incorporates all this in order to come as close as possible to the work itself:- The “Kyrie†and “Gloriaâ€, both of which survive complete in Mozart’s hand, are edited in accordance with scholarly standards.- The first two sections of the “Credo†have been meticulously completed by the editor Ulrich Leisinger, drawing on original Mozart compositions e.g. the aria “Deh vieni non tardar†from “The Marriage of Figaro†and paying attention to a stylistically appropriate and transparent sound.- The “Sanctus†and “Benedictus†(with the “Hosannaâ€), which are either incomplete or survive only in secondary sources, have been reconstructed by the editor.Sections without any known sources are left out in this edition. Rounding off the publication is an extensive Foreword (Ger/Eng).The first performance of Ulrich Leisinger’s new edition was given in April 2019 in the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg by the Hamburg State Philharmonic Orchestra and the ChorWerk Ruhr under the baton of Kent Nagano. The first Austrian premiere took place in Salzburg on August 2019 in the Great Hall of the Mozarteum, with Andrew Manze conducting the Salzburg Camerata to rousing applause from audience and critics alike.The C-minor Mass reconstruction by Helmut Eder on the basis of the New Mozart Edition (BA 4846) is still available: the score and performance material are on hire, the vocal score is on sale.
