Between 1917
and 1931 Ottorino
Respighi harmonized and
instrumented twelve works
from the 16th- and
17th-century Italian and
French lute literature
and arranged the pieces
into three 4-movement
suites, under the title
Antiche danze ed arie. He
instrumented the first
suite for chamber
orchestra, the second for
symphony orchestra and
the third for strings. He
also published six of the
twelve movements in a
piano arrangement. This
publication in the
Leggiero series is a
5-movement selection from
the three suites, in
making this free
transcrip-tion,
Ãrpád Pejtsik took
account of both the
orchestral and the piano
versions. The level of
difficulty of the works
corresponds to thegeneral
demands of the series.
The viola part may also
be played on a third
violin.

Chamber
Suite, for string
orchestra, is an
adaptation of
Mason’s 2nd String
Quartet. The addition of
the double bass adds more
harmonic richness in all
the movements and is
particularly apparent in
the lush 2nd movement.
Chamber Suite offers
string orchestras
rhythmic and technical
challenges but with a
very accessible language.
This is music that
appeals to wide range of
audiences with its energy
and unique, coherent
musical language of its
own. It keeps the
listener’s
interest right to the
end. The 1st movement
engages from the opening
bar with fast paced, off
kilter 7/8 tutti rhythms
and sharp-edged
harmonies. This is a kind
of musical caffeine
living between tonal and
polytonalism with rich,
sliding chords and a
haunting middle section
reminiscent of Armenian
folks tunes. The 2nd
movement offers emotional
storytelling with clear
tonality but with moments
of more complex stacked
harmonies and tension.
The 3rd movement is
lively with raw energy.
Voices are rapidly
interchanged in a dance
of weaving motivic
development until the
satisfying rush of notes
to the end.string

Arranged by Robert D.

Orchestra. Late in life,
Franz Joseph Haydn wrote
twelve symphonies known
as the "London" or
"Salomon" Symphonies.
They were composed for
and during his two visits
to London between 1791
and 1795. It was during
his first visit that he
was awarded the honorary
degree of Doctor of Music
from Oxford University
(1791). Haydn had been
invited to come to London
by Johann Peter Salomon,
London violinist and
concert impresario. The
invitation included the
writing and conducting of
some twenty new works as
part of a dedicated
concert series. Symphony
No. 104 in D Major is the
last of the 12 London
Symphonies from which
this arrangement is
drawn. Despite the
dramatic slow
introduction of the first
movement, the entire
symphony reflects the
great satisfaction and
joyful energy of Haydn's
existence during these
visits to England. Score

With this
lively suite, the

and pupil of Kodaly
created a very
in-s-tructive piece.
Since all parts have
independ-ent melodic
tasks and are very often
opposed to each other one
by one or in pairs, the
suite is particularly
suitable for the work
with the individual
string parts and for the
training of the ensemble
playing.

This is one of
the best-known and most
frequently performed
works of Ferenc Farkas
(1905-2000). It was
written in 1961 for
4-part string orchestra
(with an ad libitum
double bass part), and
can be performed by a
string quartet. The
secret of the popularity
of this 4-movement
composition, which
follows the structure of
the classical symphonies,
is probably to be found
in its transparent sound,
the clarity of its form
and its fresh, vigorous
character.

IApart from
some of his Sonatinas,
Opus 36, Clementi's life
and music are hardly
known to the piano
teachers and students of
today. For example, in
addition to the above
mentioned Sonatinas,
Clementi wrote sixty
sonatas for the piano,
many of them unjustly
neglected, although his
friend Beethoven regarded
some of them very highly.
Clementi also wrote
symphonies (some of which
he arranged as piano
sonatas), a substantial
number of waltzes and
other dances for the
piano as well as sonatas
and sonatinas for piano
four-hands.In addition to
composing, Clementi was a
much sought after piano
teacher, and included
among his students John
Field (Father of the
'Nocturne'), and
Meyerbeer.In his later
years, Clementi became a
very successful music
publisher, publishing
among other works the
first English edition of
Beethoven's Violin
Concerto, in the great
composer's own
arrangement for the
piano, as well as some of
his string quartets.
Clementi was also one of
the first English piano
manufacturers to make
pianos with a metal frame
and string them with
wire.The Sonatina in C,
Opus 36, No. 1 was one of
six such works Clementi
wrote in 1797. He must
have been partial to
these little pieces (for
which he also provided
the fingerings), since
they were reissued
(without the fingering)
by the composer shortly
after 1801. About 1820,
he issued ''the sixth
edition, with
considerable improvements
by the author;· with
fingerings added and
several minor changes,
among which were that
many of them were written
an octave higher.IIIt has
often been said,
generally by those
unhampered by the facts,
that composers of the
past (and, dare we add,
the present?), usually
handled their financial
affairs with their public
and publishers with a
poor sense of business
acumen or common sense.
As a result they
frequently found
themselves in financial
straits.Contrary to
popular opinion, this was
the exception rather than
the rule. With the
exception of Mozart and
perhaps a few other
composers, the majority
of composers then, as
now, were quite
successful in their
dealings with the public
and their publishers, as
the following examples
will show.It was not
unusual for 18th- and
19th-century composers to
arrange some of their
more popular compositions
for different
combinations of
instruments in order to
increase their
availability to a larger
music-playing public.
Telemann, in the
introduction to his
seventy-two cantatas for
solo voice and one melody
instrument (flute, oboe
or violin, with the usual
continua) Der Harmonische
Gottesdienst, tor
example, suggests that if
a singer is not available
to perform a cantata the
voice part could be
played by another
instrument. And in the
introduction to his Six
Concertos and Six Suites
for flute, violin and
continua, he named four
different instrumental
combinations that could
perform these pieces, and
actually wrote out the
notes for the different
possibilities. Bach
arranged his violin
concertos for keyboard,
and Beethoven not only
arranged his Piano Sonata
in E Major, Opus 14, No.
1 for string quartet, he
also transposed it to the
key of F. Brahm's
well-known Quintet in F
Minor for piano and
strings was his own
arrangement of his
earlier sonata for two
pianos, also in F
Minor.IIIWe come now to
Clementi. It is well
known that some of his
sixty piano sonatas were
his own arrangements of
some of his lost
symphonies, and that some
of his rondos for piano
four-hands were
originally the last
movements of his solo
sonatas or piano trios.In
order to make the first
movement of his
delightful Sonatina in C,
Opus 36, No. 1 accessible
to young string players,
I have followed the
example established by
the composer himself by
arranging and transposing
one of his piano
compositions from one
medium (the piano) to
another. (string
instruments). In order to
simplify the work for
young string players, in
the process of adapting
it to the new medium it
was necessary to
transpose it from the
original key of C to G,
thereby doing away with
some of the difficulties
they would have
encountered in the
original key. The first
violin and cello parts
are similar to the right-
and left-hand parts of
the original piano
version. The few changes
I have made in these
parts have been for the
convenience of the string
players, but in no way do
they change the nature of
the music.Since the
original implied a
harmonic framework in
many places, I have added
a second violin and viola
part in such a way that
they not only have
interesting music to
play, but also fill in
some of the implied
harmony without in any
way detracting from the
composition's musical
value. Occasionally, it
has been necessary to
raise or lower a few
passages an octave or to
modify others slightly to
make them more accessible
for young players.It is
hoped that the musical
value of the composition
has not been too
compromised, and that
students and teachers
will come to enjoy this
little piece in its new
setting as much as
pianists have in the
original one. This
arrangement may also be
performed by a solo
string quartet. When
performed by a string
orchestra, the double
bass part may be
omitted.- Douglas
