L'opus 71 de Beethoven fait partie d'une série d'oeuvres pour diverses formations d'instruments à vent, composées dans les années 1790. En 1805, lors de l'exécution à Vienne de cette oeuvre au caractère dansant et léger, des auditeurs louèrent ses 'belles mélodies', ainsi que la 'richesse d'idées nouvelles et surprenantes'. Cinq années plus tard, Beethoven se décida finalement à faire publier le Sextuor. Se basant sur la partition de l'édition complète des oeuvres de Beethoven, notre édition propose, comme de coutume, les parties séparées de cors aussi bien dans la tonalité d'origine, en Mi bémol, qu'en Fa. Offerte en supplément, la Marche WoO 29 est la seule autre composition de Beethoven pour deux clarinettes, deux cors et deux bassons. / 2 Clarinettes, 2 Cors Et 2 Bassons

for String Sextett. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. For String Sextet (2 Violins, 2 Violas, 2 Cellos, Bass) set of parts. Mozart ’s Sinfonia Concertante for Violin and Viola, K. 364 (320d), is his only complete surviving work in this genre. He wrote it in 1779 after returning from Paris and Mannheim. For two decades it was known only in a few copyists’ manuscripts. The first edition did not appear until 1802. The work achieved great popularity that same year, particularly the arrangements for Piano four-hands and Piano trio. This arrangement for String Sextet, dating from 1808, is interesting not only for its unusual scoring but also for the way the two concertante instrumentsinteract with the other strings. This edition revives this arrangement after almost two centuries, drawing primarily on the sole surviving source: the first edition in parts, published by the Vienna Stamperia Chimica in 1808. The editor, Christopher Hogwood, recounts the history of the work and the particulars of the arrangement in a trilingual preface (Eng . / Ger. / Cz . ) and a critical report. Barenreiter's new edition takes into account both the original print and the text from the “New Mozart Edition”. New edition of a historical transcription for String Sextet (1808) Available in print again after almost two centuries Also suitable for Chamber Orchestra Detailed preface and critical report (Eng. /Ger. / Cz . ) Includes facsimiles / Classique / Répertoire / Violon 1, Violon 2, Alto, Violoncelle, Violoncelle

Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. A master of music in all forms, Beethoven brought his genius to works as mighty as the great 'Choral' Symphony and as intimate as the charming 'Spring' Sonata. Less well known, but no less ingenious, are his delightful works scored for small Wind Ensembles. Intimate, melodious, and full of rhythmic life, this charming music brings a breath of fresh air to the world of fine chamber music. Scored for various combinations of Winds (three works also include solo Strings), the music in this compilation includes the Three Duos, WoO 27 - the Trio, Op. 87 - two Sextets, Opp. 71 and 81b - the Septet, Op. 20 - and the Octet, Op. 103. Beethoven's Serenade, Op. 25, and Rondino, WoO 25, round out this collection of the master's complete music for Wind ensembles. Reproduced from authoritative early scores, Ludwig Van Beethoven: Complete Music For Wind Ensembles offers an inexpensive yet comprehensive volume to all lovers of chamber music. / Niveau : Intermédiaire à Avancé / Répertoire / Instruments à Vent
