Symphony No. 2 began its life as Pozcatek, a 'Michael Nyman Band' 'soundtrack' that was written for the Michael Nyman Band to accompany a selection of sequences from post-war Polish films that Nyman selected and edited in 2009. That work has already been networked a Pozcatek for piano trio (recorded by the Fidelio Trio for MN Records) and a song cycle 'Ex Votos Songs' with texts transcribed from Mexican Ex Votos, hence the possibly subtitle for this symphony: Ex Photos. The symphony, which was completed in 2013, consists of four interconnected movements and is Arranged for orchestra. Duration of approximately: 28 minutes.

String quartet

Composed by Ming Wang. String Quartet. Full score and parts. Edition HH Music Publishers #HH462-FSP. Published by Edition HH Music Publishers (HH.HH462-FSP).

ISBN 9790708146711.

Cica da larvae live underground for years, creeping about slowly and peacefully in the darkness until that sudden, beautiful brief moment when, one warm, damp summer’s eve, they emerge, metamorphosed into a highly mobile life form. Gaily they dance in the sunshine, singing ardently to the trees in all their greenery --- but only for a short while, for, just as suddenly, they are gone. The same process repeats year upon year. The life cycle of this string quartet resembles that of the cicada. Initially, two embryonic cells remain hidden within dense, gloomy note-clusters; over time they evolve into buds, grow and then blossom. They appear for the first time in their adult form in the fast middle section, where they assume the shape of two very popular Chinese folk melodies, Jasmine and Old Six Blows, albeit in wholly chromaticized and defamiliarized variants. After their grand efflorescence, these forms gradually dissolve into transparent wisps of sound.

This volume brings together Mozart's youthful attempts at this later so central genre of the string quartet: the astonishing “Lodi Quartet” K. 80 by the only fourteen-year-old composer, the three “Quartet-Divertimen ti” K. 136-138 which are also readily played by chamber orchestras, and Mozart's first true string-quartet cycle K. 155-160 which was composed during his third (north-)Italian journey in 1772/73. Mozart's cleanly written scores of all the compositions have been preserved so that the edition stands on a secure foundation. In his informative commentary, Wolf-Dieter Seiffert, the experienced Mozart editor at G. Henle Publishers, devotes a separate, comprehensive explanatory section to the well-known articulation problem “dot or wedge.” The Armida Quartet provided artistic input for this edition.

This work collects together basic musical gestures, and while not aiming at completeness, the twelve movements nevertheless form a loose cycle. They are compositional studies, insofar as they explore the ultimate limits of musical density, but also instrumental studies in the traditional sense: each individual movement sets a precisely defined technical and intellectual task for the performer. (Jessica Collewijn)

Das Stück vereinigt musikalische Grundgesten in sich, wobei die zwölf Sätze - wenn auch ohne Anspruch auf Vollständigkeit - einen lockeren Zyklus bilden. Es handelt sich um kompositorische Etüden, wenn man nach den äußersten Grenzen musikalischer Knappheit forscht, aber auch um instrumentale Etüden im üblichen Sinne, denn jeder einzelne Satz weist dem Interpreten eine genau umrissene technische und intellektuelle Aufgabe zu. (Jessica Collewijn).

This song cycle is a setting of poems by Solveig von Schoultz. They describe some of the most profound human emotions: life and death, love and human relations. The music reflecs the message of the words contraststing quiet meditation and impassioned outbursts, closely interweaving the human voice and the string quartet.

String quartet (P/ST) - difficult

SKU: HL.49033268

Composed by Joerg Widmann. This edition: Saddle stitching. Sheet music. Edition Schott. Score and parts. Composed 1997. 62 pages. Duration 14'. Schott Music #ED 9747. Published by Schott Music (HL.49033268).

ISBN 9790001136846. 9.25x12.0x0.175 inches.

The five strings quartets by Jorg Widmann are compact studies, like those of his teacher Wolfgang Rihm. Performed individually, the focus is on the respective central technical and aesthetic idea. Performed as a cycle, however, they get closer to the well-known classical multi-movement form.The theme of the first string quartet is the quintessential beginning: in an introduction, it takes some time for the strained sounds to turn into harmonics. Then it is the viola, the 'poor cousin' in the string quartet literature, which takes up and defines the musical work. The workconcludes with a demanding eight-part double-stopping polyphony of all instruments.

String Quartet (Score & Parts)

SKU: HL.49045994

Score and Parts. Composed by Krzysztof Penderecki. String Ensemble. Classical. Softcover. 28 pages. Duration 900 seconds. Schott Music #ED22631. Published by Schott Music (HL.49045994).

The composition of Krzysztof Penderecki's four string quartets is marked by an idiosyncratic interruption: the first two experimental, improvisatory quartets were composed in swift succession in the 1960s. The third and fourth quartets followed substantially later, but were also written in relatively quick succession in the years 2008 and 2016. The quartet cycle as a whole is exemplary of the composerÂ’s two extensive creative phases, thus displaying a stylistic change that is in a class of its own in the history of music. The very short unnumbered quartet Der unterbrochene Gedanke [The Broken Thought], written 1988 in the middle of the 'quartet break', appears as an only too apt commentary.

String quartet - difficult

SKU: HL.49007611

Composed by Cornelius Uwe Gustav Jenner. Edited by Horst Hermann Heussner. Sheet music. Edition Schott. Classical. Score and Parts. 148 pages. Schott Music #ED 7896. Published by Schott Music (HL.49007611).

ISBN 9790001081757.

Gust av Jenner (1865-1920), a student of Brahms', wrote only three string quartets. The Third String Quartet in F major was completed in 1911 and premiered by the Rebner Quartet. Common to all Jenner's Quartets is his way of infusing the classical model with his own musical language, both on an intellectual plane and from a technical point of view. True to the tradition of the genre, the classical form of the string quartet is retained, without however showing itself to be a constraint in the completion of the cycle. What stands out is the sophistication of detail and the purity of form achieved through integration of the elements of composition and nuances of mood.
