Italian Quartets Salzburg Divertimenti. 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-Divertimenti? 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.

«Impétueux» «dramatiques» «expressifs» «magistraux» ? les commentaires relatifs aux trois quatuors à cordes op. 44 no 1?3 de Mendelssohn vont tous dans le même sens. Ce dernier les composa en 1837/1838 à une époque très heureuse de sa vie. En effet il venait de se marier bénéficiait d?une reconnaissance internationale et dirigeait les concerts du Gewandhaus de Leipzig l?un des postes les plus prestigieux du monde de la musique allemande à cette époque. Les quatuors furent composés dans l?ordre suivant: no 2 (mi mineur) no 3 (Mi bémol majeur) et no 1 (Ré majeur). Mendelssohn lui-même considérait le quatuor en ré majeur comme le meilleur ? peut-être est-ce une desraisons pour lesquelles il décida de le placer au début du recueil.

String Quartets Book IX op. 71 and 74-Haydn dedicated the series of Quartets op. 71 and 74 to the Hungarian Count Apponyi a Viennese patron of music and a freemason friend. Haydn composed them when he was enjoying a great deal ofsuccess with his 'London Symphonies' in England. With their weighty slow introductions and dense movements focusing on sound they also have symphonic characteristics. In particular the Quartet in g minor op. 74 3 isstriking on account of its expressiveness and originality. Due to the rhythmic drive of the outer movements it was give the epithet 'Rider Quartet'. The study edition complements the parts of the 'ApponyiQuartets' which are already available in Henle Urtext.

String Quartet no. 1 in e minor-Quand Smetana en 1876 termine son Quatuor en mi mineur sous des couleurs tristes et sombres il est déjà atteint par la surdité. Quel musicien ne connaît pas ce passage fatidique du 4e mouvement où Smetana symbolise par une note ultra-aiguë au violon le début de sa maladie? Les mouvements précédents sont consacrés aux stations plus heureuses de sa vie- la préface de notre édition cite un passage détaillé d?une lettre consacré à ce sujet. Smetana qui à l?époque avait reçu de son éditeur des honoraires ridicules pour son quatuor ne pouvait pas prévoir que cette oeuvre compterait un jour au rang des quatuors à cordes les plus célèbres.?

Par BARTOK BELA. Bartók?s Second String Quartet was composed ? with several long interruptions ? between 1915 and 1918, after he had spent several years almost solely devoted to collecting folk music. The melody and rhythms of the riotous middle movement ?Allegro, molto capriccioso? provide impressive testimony of how his research trips had taken him as far as North Africa. The first edition of this quartet, published in Vienna in 1920, contains a conspicuous number of errors that were only partially corrected in a later revision undertaken by Bartók. As late as the 1940s he noted changes in his personal copy of the score that have never previously appeared in print. These late changes by Bartók are taken into account in this definitive edition of the string quartets supervised by Bartók scholar László Somfai, with problematic passages in the sources carefully documented. It is the first-ever Urtext edition of this work. Sensible page turns and cue notes in the parts mean that this edition is ideal for exploring Bartók?s sound world in performance. / Date parution : 2023-05-06/ Répertoire / Quatuor à Cordes
