Con Variazioni

In the case of this volume, the series title 'Musical Expeditions' refers not only to more or less forgotten composers but also to the different types of variations. In addition to representatives of the 'theme and variations' type familiar from the Viennese classics, that is, variations on a melody, Baroque bass variations (folia, chaconne, ground) are also included in the selection, which contains music from four centuries. A work with a large number of variations would probably be beyond the intellectual and physical capabilities of music school children, so the material in this volume is restricted to shorter pieces containing just a few variations and thus easier for younglearners to grasp and digest.

The source of the present edition is preserved in the Archivio di Stato, Bologna. Editorial principles: In the score, the number of editorial interventions has been kept to a minimum. The original dynamic and expression markings are extremely few and far between, but precise. Only three dynamic levels are specified: forte, dolce ( = piano) and dolce assai ( = pianissimo). As regards expression markings we note the complete absence of the legato sign, though the appoggiatura, staccato, trill and two different types of bow-vibrato (both in association with dolce or dolce assai) can all be found. It is a well known fact that 18th century vibrato, obtained not by a movement of theleft hand but rather by a variation in the pressure of the bow, was an expressive effect to be used with discretion and not, as today, a constant means of sound production.

Miserere in re minore MC 6/1 : a quattro voci con orchestra (piano)

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

Fünf anmassende Einfälle : für Blechbläser-Sextett

All five movements require perfect virtuoso elaboration: maximum precision combined with released humour that never fails to take the musical message completely seriously. The movements are: 'Boccacce', 'Con sentimento', 'Foxtrott', 'Flicorno romantico' and 'Finalissimo'. Movements 2 and 4 as well as 3 and 5 are interchangeable.

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).

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.

Stabat Mater : for soprano and baritone solo, mixed choir and orchestra

Miklós Kocsár set Jacopone da Todi's Latin hymn to music in 2007. The composition is for soprano, baritone solo, mixed choir and orchestra. The nearly 20-minute-long monothematic work of one movement presents the suffering and reconciliation of Mater Dolorosa with variational technique and colourfully alternating choir and solo textures. Using the score, which includes the vocal parts, Stabat Mater can be performed with not only orchestral but also piano or organ accompaniment.

7 sonate facili ket fuvolara (ket furulyara) es

Giovanni Maria Bononcini (1642-1678) published in Bologna in the last year of his life, i. e. in 1678 a collection of 24 movements for two violins and basso continuo entitled Arie e Correnti a tre (Op. 12). In agreement with the sonata da camera traditions of the early Baroque the collection is a series of 9 two-movement and 2 three-movement sonatas. It was published again in London in 1701 with the title Ayres in 3 parts. Four years later a revised edition of the work appeared, also in London, which bore the title Bononcini's Aires for two Flutes and a Bass. The edition published in Amsterdam without date, but presumably around 1725, with the title Preludes, Allemandes,Sarabandes, Courantes, Gavottes et Gigues á 2 Flutes ou Violons et une Basse, is essentially a reprint of the London edition. The present edition contains this posthumous revised variant. Territorial restrictions may apply. Please ask before ordering.
