Composed by the Czech composer Bohuslav Martinü in 1927, La Revue De Cuisine is a ballet initially created for a sextet. This score was reviewed and tailored for an Orchestra.
This ballet, talking about the life of kitchen utensils, is divided in ten sections:
1. Prologue (Allegretto)
2. Introduction (Tempo de marche)
3. Danse du moulinet autour du caudron (Poco meno)
4. Danse du chaudron et du couvercle (Allegro)
5. Tango (Danse d'amour. Lento)
6. Duel (Poco a poco allegro. Tempo di Charleston)
7. Entracte (Lamentation du chaudron. Allegro moderato)
8. Marche funèbre (Adagio)
9. Danse radieuse (Tempo di marche)
10. Fin du drame (Allegretto)
The story focuses on the marriage of the Pot and Lid which is put at risk by the Twirling Stick, and the music features some strong jazz influences.
Bohuslav Martinü(1890-1959) also wrote 13 other ballets, 15 operas and 6 symphonies and some orchestral and chamber music.
Instrumentation: Clarinet, Bassoon, Trumpet, Violin, Cello, Piano. / Partitions classique / Ensemble et orchestre / Musique de chambre / LEDUC

Par RHEINBERGER JOSEF GABRIEL. Volume 31 contains, among other works, the Piano Quartet, which was enthusiastically received by the critics in Rheinberger’s time: “The themes are noble, with significant content, the motivic development is rich and interesting, above all free from anything resembling a mould … and such a healthy musical wind blows through the entire work that I believe I am not mistaken if I forsee for this work a great success. ” This is how a contemporary critic reviewed the work. Indeed, op. 38 proceeded to become the most successful of Rheinberger’s chamber music works during his lifetime. The Sextet op. 191b is an effective arrangement of his Piano Trio No. 4 op. 191, for flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, horn and piano. All works are also available in separate editions./ Répertoire / Ensemble de Chambre

for large ensemble. Par TURNAGE MARK-ANTHONY. One of the movements in Scorched (arrangements of seventeen tunes by John Scofield for jazz trio and orchestra) has a coda, which repeats a dense, two-bar tag which sounded like it could be developed. Snapshots starts off by revealing bits of each of the two bars (with episodes placed in-between). The full two bars of music are then revealed at the end of the piece. Snapshots is a tribute to Olly [Oliver Knussen] on his 50th birthday. Mark-Anthony Turnage/ Répertoire / Ensemble de Musique de Chambre

20 morceaux récréatifs extraits de la Méthode Rose et arrangés par Alfred Herzog pour diverses formations hétérogènes constituent ce recueil qui fait entrevoir aux jeunes musiciens du premier cycle quelques réalités de la pratique collective.

Le piano est toujours présent, entouré de la flûte, de la clarinette, du violon ou violoncelle et parfois d'une percussion, selon la nature de l'ensemble.

Une construction mélodique et rythmique stimulante de chaque partie favorise le travail individuel. A noter que le recueil ne contient pas de parties séparées afin que chaque instrumentiste puisse lire le texte musical dans sa globalité. / Classique / Partition CD /
