(Four Cities)-Faz'l Say?s ?Four Cities? Sonata can be considered as a journey through four cities of Anatolia. This work has taken its inspiration from Faz'l Say?s memories and events of his life. Bodrum is well known as a city greatly frequented by tourists which sets it apart from the other three locations. These four very different cities with their individual cultures have been selected from the nearly 2000-km wide expanse of Anatolia. SivasSivas is a conservative city located in Eastern Anatolia which is known for its large Alevi population. As¸'k Veysel is an Alevi Ozan (poet) and Faz'l Say has been inspired by his song ?Saz'm? (my saz/myinstrument) in the first part of this work. The movement is concluded on a melancholy tone in imitation of this ethnic instrument. HopaA traditional wedding provided Faz'l Say with his inspiration for this second movement which embraces Eastern Black Sea culture. Horon is a very fast folk dance in 7/16 time which is played on the kemence a typical instrument of the Eastern Black Sea region. The music also touches on Caucasian Georgian and Laz dances anonymous songs ?Laz women? and ?Cilveloy nanayda? (a Turkish song). AnkaraAnkara was declared the capital city of Turkey by Atatürk in 1923. This city with its population of four million was where the composer was born and also spent his childhood. ?Ankara?n'n Tas¸'na Bak? a rebellious song dating back to the First World War can be discerned in the mournful middle section. The movement with its atmosphere of tragedy evokes the republican spirit and the ambience of former times. BodrumBodrum is universally known as the Saint-Tropez of Turkey. A famous street in the city is fringed with countless bars and pubs from which a cacophony of different music can be heard ranging from jazz pop and rock to folk songs. Faz'l Say blends the sounds from these pubs in this movement which includes a walking theme in a swinging jazz tempo. The movement makes a

First movement and a sketch for a Scherzo - (Erstausgabe - First Edition)-Sikorski present the first publication of Mahler's 1876 Piano Quartet a work that reflects the composer's obsession with the great German compositional tradition. The piece reflects Mahler's concerns with the works of Brahms Schubert and Schumann - a highly valuable source of perspective regarding Mahler's early works and the development of his later more distinctive aesthetic.

(American Quartet)-After a twelve-year interval Dvo ák once again turned his attention to the String Quartet in summer 1893. He had been musical director in New York since autumn 1892 and spent the summer in Spillville (Iowa) where agroup of Czech immigrants had settled thus making him feel at home. The beautiful natural surroundings led him to write this unconventional String Quartet in the tradition of Beethoven?s ?Pastoral? even down to the imitation ofbirdcalls. Since the first performances certain rhythmic and melodic characteristics have been traced back to the influences of the folk music of Native Americans and African Americans which led to the soon popular workbeing called the ?American Quartet?. For the first time since 1955 the Quartet is once again being published in an Urtext edition.

Ed. Critica A. Borin. Par VIVALDI ANTONIO. Casa Ricordi Milano in partnership with Fondazione Giorgio Cini, Venezia (Istituto Antonio Vivaldi). Critical edition by Alessandro Borin. The six Concerts op. VI for violin, strings and continuo by Antonio Vivaldi were published in Amsterdam by Roger in 1719. Although the contribution of Vivaldi was probably modest – even to assume that the collection was published without the composer’s assistance and perhaps even his agreement - these six compositions mark a decisive step towards the definition of the classic Vivaldi Concerto, a change evident both from the systematic adoption of the three-movement plan and from the absence of any supplementary solo parts beyond the principalviolin. This critical edition is based on the first edition of Opus VI and its reprints, but takes also into consideration all the sources of single concertos printed into anthologies or transmitted in manuscript form (Wiesentheid and Dresden). The information gathered through the comparative analysis of the manuscript and the printed traditions of Vivaldi’s Opus 6 has permitted us to reconstruct the links among the sources, to clarify some problematic editorial decisions and formulate new hypotheses on the genesis and the intrinsic nature of the collection as a whole. / Niveau : Intermédiaire à Avancé / Date parution : 1905-07-09/ Répertoire / Violon, Ensembles de Cordes et Basse Continue

Par SHCHEDRIN RODION. Les émotions profondes slaves et virtuosité préhension - qu'est ce qui caractérise les nombreuses compositions par Rodion Shchedrin. Même s'il a été un cosmopolite depuis longtemps, le compositeur né à Moscou demeure néanmoins un compositeur russe à l'origine, dont l'attachement à la musique russe folklore et de la poésie n'a jamais été interrompu. Cette tradition se montre aussi en ' Belcanto ', qui a été commandé par le célèbre Festival de Verbier et créée par le dédicataire Mischa Maisky, avec le compositeur au piano. La partie violoncelle maintient principalement un caractère cantabile, tandis que le piano accompagne et commente la partie vocale avec divers sons transparents et figures./ Répertoire / Violoncelle et Piano
