Antonio Vivaldiâ??s twelve concertos op. 4 known by the name of â??La Stravaganzaâ? were first mentioned as a collection of â??Concerti a 4â? in the 1711 Foreword of â??Lâ??Estro Armonicoâ? op. 3. Their publication had to wait until 1716, when Estienne Roger issued them in two volumes of six concertos each. However, unlike the original announcement, â??La Stravaganzaâ? is more than a collection of concertos for solo violin with string accompaniment: in five of the concertos the soloist is joined by a second solo violin or even by a solo violoncello (Concerto No. 7).

The many reprints of â??La Stravaganzaâ? bear witness to its popularity and widespread dissemination well into the 1730s. Besides the surviving prints, there is a significant body of handwritten sources containing alternative versions for seven of the concertos. Some of these manuscripts stem from the music library of Johann Georg Pisendel.

This edition of â??La Stravaganzaâ? is not only the first scholarly-critical edition, it is also the only complete edition available. In addition to the twelve concertos handed down in the Roger edition, Bärenreiter offers an additional concerto in full score, piano reduction and parts contained in the 1728 print issued by the English publishers Walsh and Hare, as well as alternative versions (without viola) found in handwritten sources for Concertos No. 6 (Volume 1) and No. 11 (Volume 2).

“In diesem Augenblick” (In This Moment) is the first work for string quartet by the Chinese composer Yang Lin, born in Beijing in 1982. The work was given its world premiere in November 2010 by the Amaryllis Quartet at the Laeizshalle in Hamburg. “In diesem Augenblick” is concerned with the brief moment between two events, comparable with the interval between two steps whilst walking: “This brief moment, this motion in detail that one does not usually notice, has been given a great deal of attention. But it does not mean that this moment stops. There remains a contradictory moment that remembers the tensions and vibrations of the past an, at the same time, awaits the peace of the future.” (Yang Lin).

Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy created a standard work with his final violin concerto in E minor op. 64 MWV O 14 that is now firmly established in today's concert repertoire. When in 1838 the composer indicated that he had in mind a violin concerto [...] in E minor [...], it was not only his friend Ferdinand David, the Gewandhaus concertmaster for whom it was intended, who was euphoric. The whole civilized violin world was awaiting this concerto - and yet it was another seven years before the much-anticipated composition was ultimately published by the Leipzig publishing house Breitkopf & Hartel in June 1845, as well as simultaneously in London and Milan. The concerto particularly appeals through its innovative treatment of the solo part, not only because the solo violin strikingly opens the first movement without a preceding orchestral tutti, but also because of its musical dialogue with the orchestra. The Leipzig Gewandhaus premiere on 13 March 1845 with Ferdinand David as soloist under the direction of Nils Wilhelm Gade served - as so frequently with Mendelssohn - virtually as a proofreading process. After the composer subsequently made extensive changes that also involved David, the work first appeared just short of nine months later. The first edition documents the composer's valid final revision, which is reproduced as the work's main version in the present Urtext edition. The matching piano reduction includes not only an unmarked string part, but also a part with the established markings by Igor Oistrach.
