Trios for Two Violins and Cello : Musica da Camera

This volume in the 'Musica da Camera' series offers a selection of music for two violins and cello from the two hundred years extending from François Couperin to Edward Elgar. The technical demands of the works range from easy to moderately difficult, but the easier pieces are also musically valuable, so that even the more experienced ensembles can enjoy playing them. Not only the first violin but the second violin and also the cello is frequently given a solo role. We recommend this volume to youngsters learning music and to music-lovers actively involved in chamber music.

Da capo (2014) : for cimbalom or marimba and ensemble

The meaning of "da capo" is to return to the beginning and start again. A musical process, which reaches somewhere but does not end, beginning again and again in a different way, from different basic material throughout nine stages, evolves from the starting tune. The initial tunes come from Mozart's notebooks. They are fragments, ideas for themes, which in their majority or not in the outlined form did not result in finished compositions. Péter Eötvös presents these tunes to listeners in a clearly recognisable way but he immediately develops and transforms them. Mozart's themes are almost immediately remodelled in the chamber ensemble, the instruments of which were stillunknown in the 18th century, and the musical journey is made especially adventurous in that the solo (whether played on the cimbalom or the marimba) is presented by a musical instrument which cannot have been used in the 18th century.

Sonate D-Dur Für Viola Da Gamba (Bratsche, Violo

Sonate e-Moll

This sonata transcribed for bassoon and piano was accomplished by its composer sometimes around 1720 for the series Essercizi musici, composed for viola da gamba with continuo. The viola da gamba, an old-time string instrument, is only seldom played in our days. Thus, it is indeed justified to rescue the beautiful and suitable pieces of its literature for the sake of more frequent performances. To transcribe the viola da gamba part in its completeness would have caused unsurmountable difficulti es in the technique of wind instruments. Thus, in the transcription some sections of the part are performed by the accompanying piano, however, it has been always kept in mind that thecomposition and its form should not be possibly harmed. Consideri ng the requirements of a modern edition, several marks of phrasing and all the dynamical signs have been added to the original Ottó Oromszegi

Triptichon - in Memoriam Ildiko Vékony

The work was composed in memory of the Hungarian cimbalom player Ildikó Vékony, who died in an accident in autumn 2009. It is based on an earlier piece for solo cimbalom Slow and Brisk (Sáry László: Dance music, Z. 14263) dedicated to her and played several times and also recorded by her. The first and third parts of the composition are variants of each other. Between these two parts there is a slow, richly ornamented movement with freely moving rhythms, in which the often broken melodies of the viola da gamba (or violoncello) appear as reminiscences.The piece was premiered in Budapest on 4th December 2011 by Nóra Kallai (viola da gamba) and András Szalai (cimbalom).

Variations of a Double

Variations on a Double is a real musical leviathan: almost an hour long, it is a sound-monstrosity that makes exceptional demands of the performers, and is the product of an unusual degree of fusion of the clarinet with the piano. Composed in 2005 for Csaba Klenyán and Gábor Csalog, the work interprets the meaning of the musical “double” in an unconventional way: in it there is not a union of two independent instrumental characters, each with its individual identity - as in a grandiose sonata: instead, its artistic form tends in exactly the opposite direction. A single, monodically conceived unit of musical material passes over and over again through the doubling: they do not formtwo parts, yet do not unite in unison, but present the split face of a single endless - fragmented and episodic - monologue, like Siamese twins. Beware, this is only for the musically mature!

Gitarrentrios

The new volume in the Musica da camera series has been compiled for a relatively rare type of ensemble, three guitars. This collection spanning the 16th-19th centuries contains not only madrigals by Luca Marenzio, two Bach chorales and SchumannsTräumerei, but also transcriptions of popular pieces by many other composers (including Händel, Haydn, Schubert and Grieg), enabling music-school guitar students to play familiar, enjoyable works that they have heard performed by otherinstrumentalists.

A Banyának Három Lába..

This publication contains Hungarian folk song arrangements: these pieces intended for music school students can be performed separately or may be grouped together in selections of variable size . The soprano recorder may be replaced by a clarinet, an oboe or perhaps a bassoon (the latter may require transposition in places). The melodies are mostly of a sprightly, dance-like character and can therefore be effective programme items at student concerts.

A Desert March... Für Klavier

A Desert March is a protest march and a requiem for European musical culture. This seemingly endless march carries with it subdued or disfigured Western art music quotations (Brahms, Schubert, Beethoven, Bartók, Janácek, Satie). Iconic items such asBeethovens Ode to Joy (now the hymn of the European Union) and the United States national anthem appear in numerous, often distorted forms as if molten metal ransacked by the military machine of the relentless march. Yet this monumental work strivesfor a state of calm and ultimate balance.

Flötenduos für Anfänger II

The collection of flute duos covers all instrumental eras of the history of music starting from Jacopo da Bologna to Tchaikovsky. To make the volume more comprehensive, the editor added the arrangement for two flutes of some popular operatic and instrumental melodies such as the paraphrases of 'Don Giovanni' and 'Carmen' and the arrangement of the nocturn from 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'. Well-known and unknown melodies, fugues, dance and character pieces provide possibilities for pleasant and high-level common music making.

Trios für Flöten

Editio Musica Budapest is launching a new series entitled Musica da camera. As its very general title indicates, the publishers' intention is that the volumes in this series, which is designed specifically for music school students, will include works composed for chamber ensembles of every kind, from the trio to the sextet. The first two volumes contain mostly transcriptions for three and four flutes respectively, selected from every period of music history from the late Renaissance to the present day.
