The Intermezzo from the Romantic opera Notre Dame, based on Victor Hugo’s novel The Hunchback of Notre Dame, is in fact Franz Schmidt’s best-known work. The charm of this lovely composition lies in its Hungarian and Romantic influences. Wil van der Beek’s sensitive arrangement does justice to this great work, putting Franz Schmidt’s masterpiece back in the spotlight once more!

Het Intermezzouit de romantische opera Notre Dame is waarschijnlijk wel het beroemdste werk van Franz Schmidt. Het is gebaseerd op Notre Dame de Paris (De klokkenluider van de Notre Dame), een roman van Victor Hugo. De herkomstvan de componist is goed te herleiden, want deze lieflijke compositie kent zowel romantische als ook Hongaarse invloeden. Wil van der Beek plaatst met zijn geslaagde bewerking deze Oostenrijks-Hongaarse componist weer even terugin de spotlights.

Das Intermezzo aus der romantischen Oper Notre Dame, die auf Victor Hugos Roman Notre Dame de Paris (Der Glöckner von Notre Dame) basiert, ist wohl das berühmteste Werk von Franz Schmidt. Der Reiz dieser lieblichen Komposition weist ganz eindeutig sowohl ungarische als auch romantische Einflüsse auf. Wil van der Beek holt diesen zu Unrecht etwas in Vergessenheit geratenen ungarisch-österreichis chen Komponisten mit seiner gelungenen Bearbeitung wieder ins Rampenlicht zurück.

L ’Intermezzo, de l’opéra romantique Notre-Dame, qui s’inspire du roman Notre-Dame de Paris de Victor Hugo, est sans doute l’oeuvre la plus prestigieuse de Franz Schmidt, compositeur austro-hongrois peu connu. Wil van der Beek a réalisé un magnifique arrangement de cette pièce quelque peu oubliée, tout en conservant l’expressivité et le romantisme de l’oeuvre originale.

L’Inter mezzo dell’opera romantica Notre Dame, a sua volta ispirata dal romanzo Notre Dame de Paris di Victor Hugo, è senza dubbio l’opera più prestigiosa di Franz Schmidt, compositore austro-ungherese poco conosciuto. Wil van der Beek ha realizzato uno splendido arrangiamento di questo pezzo caduto nell’oblio, conservando l’espressivit e il romanticismo di questa melodiosa composizione.

Compo sed by Telemann as a double concerto for recorder and transverse flute, Zart Dombourian-Eby’s new edition is prepared for piccolo, flute, and piano — remaining compatible with available orchestral editions, and respectfully faithful to Telemann’s detailed nuances. Cast in the slow-fast, slow-fast four-movement mold typical of Baroque concert works, the CONCERTO IN E MINOR is at once among the most beautiful and exhilarating works of Telemann’s formidable output.__________________ ____________________Text from the scanned back cover:ZART DOMBOURIAN-EBY is the Principal Piccoloist of the SeattleSymphony and is regularly featured as both a soloist and clinician in Seattle and across the world.

When I was invited to perform a Vivaldi piccolo concerto in Italy a few years ago, my host, Luisa Sello, wrote that Carol Wincenc was going to be on the same concert, and was there any piece that we could play together? I looked and asked around, and my colleague Joanna Bassett recommended the Telemann Concerto in E Minor for Traverso and Recorder. I didn’t know the piece, but as I listened to a recording of it, I immediately loved it and could easily envision how beautifully it could work, with a few “adjustments,� � for flute and piccolo. I got to work, and the current publication is the result. I have performed it many times, and enjoy it even more every time. It fits a unique place in our repertoire, and works equally well with piano as with the string orchestra setting.According to Steven D. Zohn, pre-eminent Telemann scholar, and author of Music for a Mixed Taste: Style, Genre, and Meaning in Telemann’s Instrumental Works, much is unknown about the concerto itself; it likely dates from the 1720s, soon after Telemann moved to Hamburg. Only an eighteenth-century copyist’s set of parts is extant, that of Johann Samuel Endler, who was engaged at the Darmstadt court as a singer and violinist, later becoming Vice-Kapellmeister and Kapellmeister, and who had a large collection of Telemann’s works.As in my Vivaldi concertos edition (Presser 414-41190), I have added virtually all of the articulations and dynamics that appear here, and have inserted quite a bit of ornamentation. Unlike the Vivaldi edition, I have not included any indication of the original Telemann in those passages, nor have I included any pedagogical markings, such as fingerings.Finally, I would like to acknowledge, with gratitude, Joanna Bassett, Daniel Dorff, Benton Gordon, Evan Pengra-Sult, Sandra Saathoff, Valerie Shields, Carol Wincenc, and Steven Zohn, for the various roles they played in the making of this publication.— Zart Dombourian-EbyJune 2018.
