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

Kantate Zum 1. Advent. Par TELEMANN GEORG PHILIPP. The Advent cantata Machet die Tore weit has long been one of the most frequently performed of Telemann’s sacred works. Among the copies of this cantata which have been handed down is a copy by J. S. Bach which bears testimony to the high respect he paid to his then more celebrated colleague from Hamburg: It is a copy of the score in the hand of the Thomaskantor which was made for a performance in Leipzig on Avent Sunday in 1734 [therefore during the same period as the first performance of Bach’s Christmas Oratorio]. Of the four solo singers the soprano and bass, each of whom has an aria, are indispensable. The brief alto solos in the opening chorus can be sung by a member of thechoir, and the tenor recitative can be sung by the soprano soloist./ Répertoire / Solistes S (A) TB, Choeur SATB, 2 Hautbois, 2 Viol

Flute solos from the 18th century
In this edition, the Dutch flutist Rien de Reede undertakes a journey into the 18th century. The collection contains 34 works for solo flute, which have been selected with great care and edited according to music history aspects. Thus, the edition not only shines with a colourful compilation of solo works that stand out from one another in regard to their character. It is also as a historical testimony to the structural state of the flute at the time and the associated technical possibilities as well as the approach to composing for this instrument at that time.
In addition to a number of multi-movement works, Rien de Reede publishes a number of wonderful individual pieces. In terms of composition, they are often characterized by the use of arpeggiated motifs and themes, large intervallic leaps or the ideas of suggested polyphony. Harmonic playfulness, required virtuosity, and the seemingly omnipresent balance of registers provide a constantly renewing tension in the individual movements. Not all works can be attributed to a composer, often one can only speculate. Of course the names of great artists of this epoch such as Quantz, Blavet, Taillart, Mahaut and others which had a decisive influence on the flute, are not missing. / Partitions classique / Bois / Flûte traversière / UNIVERSAL EDITION

Learn 15 of the Very Best Hits Of Dolly Parton, the country singer-songwriter who took Nashville, then the world, by storm with her sassy, witty and creatively crafted tunes whose simple lyrics and catchy melodies made them some of the most loved songs of all time.

This talent managed to write fun, upbeat and universally-loved songs like Nine To Five and Islands In The Stream as well as melancholic and poetic ballads like Coat Of Many Colours.It is testament to her abilities as a songwriter that two hugely popular hits, Jolene and I Will Always Love You are cover versions of songs originally written by her- these versions being good, but never quite living up to the way Parton performed them. Since moving to Nashville in the 1960s (relocating the day after finishing high school), Dolly Parton has had an incredibly illustrious career, becoming the most famous and most loved country music star in the world. Her latest release, Blue Smoke, features new songs and new covers, some of which are included in this Dolly Parton sheet music collection, such as Blue Smoke, Banks Of The Ohio and You Can't Make Old Friends.Bolstered by a momentously fun performance at Glastonbury 2014, drawing the biggest crowd the festival has ever seen, the success of the album goes to show that even after 42 studio albums, she still has the knack for impeccable songwriting, performance perfection and a sense of humour that endears her to millions. With this Dolly Parton sheet music songbook, you can learn 15 of her biggest and best songs, taken from her timeless albums, all arranged for Piano, Vocal and Guitar.
