Helmut Lachenmann is no doubt the composer who, since the late 1960s, has opened the door the most widely to a new sound world in the technique of composition for classical instruments. Not only that: he has also consistently explored new territories in his scores with respect to the notation of the new sounds and performing techniques. At the Stuttgart Musikhochschule, Matthias Hermann, himself a composer and conductor, has recorded in short video films all the expanded performance techniques that are essential to Lachenmann's scores. The CD-ROM programmed by Maceij Walczak is completely bilingual (German-English) and offers film (with sound), notation and a detailed explanation. All symbols and notational forms are systematically arranged according to the instrument. In addition, the CD-ROM contains two conversations in which Lachenmann expressed his views on the project in great detail in 2009 and 2010. The transcript of these texts is also available in English on the CD-ROM. Basso continuo komponiert von Friedrich II. dem Grossen (1712-1786) Konig von Preussen von 1740 bis 1786. Der konigliche Komponist stellt in den vier jetzt erstmals vorgelegten Sonaten seine Qualitaten voll und ganz unter Beweis. Insgesamt zeichnen sich die Werke durch Erfindungskraft, Konnen und Stilvielfalt aus. In Schloss Sanssouci entstanden offenkundig Adagios voller Emotionen und brillante Allegro-Satze, die belegen, uber welch virtuose Fahigkeiten der Quantz-Schuler verfugte. Die Herausgeberin auch als Interpretin eine erwiesene Expertin der Musik von Quantz und Friedrich dem Grossen hat die Sonaten auf CD eingespielt. basso continuo composed by Frederick II known as the Great (1712-1786) King of Prussia from 1740 to 1786. In the four sonatas presented here for the first time, the royal composer can lay uncontested claim to an above-average talent. The works stand out for their imaginative power, their skill and their stylistic variety. The grand rooms of Sanssouci Palace must have been filled with heartfelt Adagios and brilliant Allegros that confirmed the virtuoso flute technique of the Quantz pupil. The sonatas were recently recorded on CD (Hungaroton) by the editor who, as a performer, is a recognized expert on the music of J. J. Quantz and Frederick the Great.
