Richard Reed Parry's Quartet For Heart And Breath is an innovative and original piece based on the performers' own bodily rhythms. This sheet music is for String Quartet (Violin/Violin/Viola/Cello).Richard Reed Parry is familiar to millions as the lead singer of rock band Arcade Fire, yet his foray into classical music is equally worthy of attention. Quartet For Heart And Breath is an experiment into using the performers' heartbeats and breathing to dictate the tempo. The performers are instructed to wear stethoscopes in order to listen to their heartbeats closely, while one complete breath corresponds to one bar and two heartbeats equal two crotchets.The result is a quiet and subtle piece, as each instrument has to play softly so as to be able to keep in time. The piece also has a naturally occurring dynamism in that the players' heart rates constantly change as the performance goes on, with each instrument falling in and out of sync sometimes culminating in a beautiful moment of all heartbeats matching each other. Interestingly, this unique aspect means that no performance will ever be the same, meaning to hear or play this composition will be a truly once in a lifetime experience.Quartet For Heart And Breath is a superbly one-of-a-kind composition by Richard Reed Parry. Commissioned by the Kronos Quartet, this piece makes for a wonderfully distinctive performance, with fascinating implications for the connection between the music and the body. / Quatuor A Cordes

Hoffmeister Quartet and Prussian Quartets . Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. Ça y est: dans les années à venir, tous les 26 quatuors à cordes de Mozart paraîtront en Urtext chez Henle – en partition et en parties séparées. Toutes les éditions publiées à ce jour laissent considérablement à désirer à bien des égards – par exemple quant au placement correct des signes de dynamique. L' édition Henle, qui a bénéficié du concours artistique du Quatuor Armida, puise dans les acquis les plus récents de la philologie et de l’interprétation mozartiennes. La collection est inaugurée par la publication des quatre derniers quatuors: le quatuor dit «Hoffmeister» K. 499 ainsi que les trois quatuors «Prussiens» K. 575, 589 et 590. La composition des troisdernières oeuvres pourrait avoir été inspirée par l’excellent violoncelliste qu’était le roi de Prusse Frédéric Guillaume II – les violoncellistes d’aujourd’hui pourront en tous cas prendre plaisir à de nombreuses et belles cantilènes. / Seiffert, Wolf-Dieter / Répertoire / 2 Violons, Alto, Violoncelle
