Claude Debussy: Première Rhapsodie Und Petite Pièce

Originally written for the final year Clarinet examination at the Paris Conservatoire, Debussy ’s “ Première Rhapsodie ” has quickly become a bestseller of the Clarinet repertoire, being a highly impressionistic work that plays marvellously with the timbral possibilities of the Clarinet. Its success was so pervasive that Debussy later arranged the Piano accompaniment for Orchestra, and in this form the rhapsody is today to be heard all around the world. Our edition also contains as a “lollipop” the popular “ Petite pièce ”, an original work of under forty bars that was in fact devised as a sight-reading test.

Frederic Chopin: Ballad In F Major Op.38

When Chopin left with George Sand for his oft-cited winter sojourn on Mallorca in autumn 1838, he also took his second ballade with him, which was not yet finished. Chopin's health and other unfavourable circumstances had interfered with his work on the composition; he only completed it in winter 1839. The printing process was also delayed - not least because of the composer's considerable financial demands. Following his emigration from Warsaw and his full acceptance into Parisian musical circles, Chopin was apparently aware of the value of his music.

Karl Ditters von Dittersdorf: Double Bass Concerto in "E major" Krebs 172

With this cornerstone of the Double Bass repertoire we continue a still young but important part of our catalogue. This musically-charming work, full of technical trickery, is with justification demanded time and again as a test piece or set piece for competitions. In order to accommodate the “Viennese tuning” used at the time, we also provide a solo part in fret notation. The Piano part in D major and E major (!) can be used to accompany the Double Bass part either in its solo or orchestral version. As an alternative to the familiar cadenzas by Sperger, editor Tobias Glöckler has added two further tuneful and stylistically-appropriate cadenzas of his own.

Frédéric Chopin: Ballade In F Major Op.38

When Chopin left with George Sand for his oft-cited winter sojourn on Mallorca in autumn 1838, he also took his second ballade with him, which was not yet finished. Chopin's health and other unfavourable circumstances had interfered with his work on the composition; he only completed it in winter 1839. (Also published is a facsimile of the wonderful autograph; Cat. No. HN3212.) The printing process was also delayed - not least because of the composer's considerable financial demands. Following his emigration from Warsaw and his full acceptance into Parisian musical circles, Chopin was apparently aware of the value of his music. Now presented in a single Urtext edition, this work, dedicated to Robert Schumann, has been taken from the recently revised edition of the "Ballades".

Franz Joseph Haydn: String Quartets, Volume XI, Lobkowitz-Quartets op. 77 and last Quartet op. 103

These are the last of the nearly seventy quartets in Haydn ’s oeuvre. Originally he intended to write a set of six quartets, as so often in the past, but at the time they were written, in 1803, Haydn ’s health was so poor that he could not fully satisfy the commission from Prince Lobkowitz. Instead he published only two complete quartets as Op. 77 . Later he allowed an incomplete work consisting of two middle movements to appear as op. 103, adding to the print the portentous words: “Gone is all my strength, old and weak am I.” Musically, however, these quartets are anything but weak: they represent the aged composer virtually at the zenith of his powers. Haydn even went so far as to call Op. 77, no. 2, his “most beautiful String quartet”.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: String Duos

After moving to Vienna in 1781, Mozart returned only once to his hometown of Salzburg, and that was from the end of July to the end of October 1783 in the company of his young wife Constanze. Just as we know little for certain about the events of those months, Mozart also seems to have composed equally little there. Just these two exquisite duos for violin and viola come from this period, and even they were apparently written as a friendly favor for Salzburg composer Michael Haydn (younger brother of the great Joseph Haydn), who for reasons of acute ill health was unable to complete a commissioned composition. Henle’s Urtext edition is based on the carefully notated autographmanuscripts, the first edition appeared only in 1792, shortly after Mozart’s death, making its value as a source debatable. In addition to a complete score of this wonderfully intimate chamber music, foldout instrumental parts are included, facilitating comfortable performance.

Claude Debussy: Sonata For Violin And Piano In G Minor

Debussy wrote his solitary Violin Sonata in the closing days of his life, plagued by the distress of the ongoing Great War, financial difficulties and health issues of a terminal cancer. Shortly after its completion in April, the first performance took place on May 5th, 1917 with Debussy himself at the Piano. This was the composer’s last public appearance before his death in 1918. The Sonata For Violin and Piano was the third and final composition in a cycle intended to consist of six sonatas for various instruments. It has an overall atmosphere of melancholy, while also capturing contradictory characteristics such as joy and silliness, presented in a form closer to a fantasia than a sonata. The three expressive movements ( Allegro vivo , Intermede and Finale ) are written in a French nationalistic spirit with distinctive influences from Spanish and gypsy music throughout. This ambiguousness and ambivalence in form, sound, and character all attribute to Debussy ’s innovative language of ‘musical impressionism’ which has become a favourite of musicians and audiences alike. The comments at the end of this Urtext edition provide detailed information on the sources and alternative readings, while the preface by François Lesure in German, English and French gives historical and biographical context. Two copies of the Violin solo are included as separate inserts.
