Tchaikovsky's Hamburg Symphony in the Urtext

Symphony; Romantic. Part. 24 pages. Duration 44'. Breitkopf and Haertel #OB 5558-16. Published by Breitkopf and Haertel (BR.OB-5558-16).

Like Hamlet Overture, originating at about the same time, Tchaikovsky's 5th symphony, composed in 1888, focuses on the human existential question: To be or not to be - triumph over fate or triumph of fate? The per aspera ad astra dramaturgy underlying the symphony culminates in triumphant certainty. If Tchaikovsky was initially euphoric, then severe self-doubts befell him after he conducted the premiere in St. Petersburg. These doubts demonstrably led him to make interpretative changes for the Hamburg performance in 1889, including a cut in the finale. Only with the extremely positive response to this performance did his doubts dispel. Nevertheless, Tchaikovsky himself never again conducted the 5th symphony. It was only posthumously established in the repertoire through Arthur Nikisch's commitment. The new edition's textual criticism takes into account besides the autograph and first edition also the first edition's orchestral parts, together with the piano arrangement produced from the autograph by Sergei Taneyev. In addition to thoroughly clarifying dynamics and articulation, the source comparison also corrected many errors and solved problematical passages, such as, for instance, the trombone entry in m. 372 of the finale. Considered, moreover, for the first time has been the composer's doubts about his work and its ambiguities, frequently successfully suppressed in the history of its performance and reception. Tchaikovsky's conductor's copy is unfortunately lost, hence his alterations made for the Hamburg performance are not precisely known. They have survived only indirectly through remarks that Willem Mengelberg left to posterity, for which he could draw on Tchaikovsky's conductor's score and oral references by the composer's brother Modest. So, anyone wishing to deal seriously with the work's certainties will not be able to do so in the future without having also to deal with its uncertainties.

Kobolds are mischievous, gnome-like sprites from German mythology and folklore. Kobold Dance, written by Belgian composer Tom De Haes for Eb or Bb saxophone and piano, is inspired by these creatures. The work contains great musical diversityin connection with character, dynamics, articulation, rhythm and range, enabling the saxophone player to demonstrate his or her talents to the greatest extent.

Kobolden zijn veelal boosaardige, kabouterachtige wezens uit de Germaanse mythen, sagen en legenden. Ge nspireerd door deze creaturen, heeft de Belgische componist Tom De Haes Kobold Dance voor Eb- of Bb-saxofoon en piano geschreven. Het werkomvat een grote muzikale diversiteit op het gebied van karakter, dynamiek, articulatie, ritme en bereik, zodat de saxofonist al zijn of haar talenten ten volle kan demonstreren.

Kobo lde sind meist boshafte, klabauterartige Wesen, die ihren Ursprung in germanischen Mythen, Sagen und Legende haben.

Es zeichnet sich durch eine große musikalische Vielfalt hinsichtlich Charakter, Dynamik, Rhythmus und Tonumfang aus, sodass Saxophonisten die Chance bekommen, ihr ganzes Können zu beweisen.

Semblabl es des gnomes, les kobolds sont des créatures plutôt malicieuses qui animent les mythes, sagas et légendes d’Allemagne. Le belge Tom De Haes s’en est inspiré pour composer Kobold Dance pour saxophone en Mi bémol ou Si bémol et piano.Cette pièce présente une grande diversité de caractères, dynamiques, articulations, rythmes et registres, permettant ainsi aux saxophonistes de démontrer pleinement leurs talents.

For Wagner, the year 1869 was another rather restless and enormously fruitful year, as far as the complete edition of his correspondence is concerned. The first half focuses above all on Siegfried the composer devotes much time to the score, which he had neglected for years. His son Siegfried is born in the midst of the work on Siegfried. In the fall, the world premiere of Rheingold dominates the correspondence, which also lays bare many quarrels, with Wagner demonstratively refusing to attend it. In 1869 Wagner also conducts a particularly intensive correspondence with Nietzsche, who pays several visits to Wagner. Finally, in late November, Wagner pointedly asks his patron King Ludwig II: Do you want my work as I want it or do you not want it so?1869 zeigt sich als ein Jahr der Umbruche, die in Cosimas Scheidung kulminieren. So bietet gerade dieser Band eine Schlusselphase in Wagners Entwicklung. Ein gelungener Meilenstein auf einer Strecke, deren Ende sich allmahlich abzeichnet.
