Hector Berlioz: 200. Birthday 2003

	Hector Berlioz Harold en Italie Symphonie en 4 parties avec un alto principal Bärenreiter Urtext Edited by Paul Banks Piano Reduction by Hugh Macdonald BA 5457a Euro 22,50 Performance material on hire first modern playable piano reduction performance suggestions by Frédéric Lainé
Hector Berlioz's »Harold en Italie« was originally conceived for and comissioned by Niccolò Paganini as a virtuoso viola concerto. This work, which eventually evolved into a Symphony in four movements with solo viola, is not only of significant importance in Berlioz's œuvre but one of the milestones in the viola literature. None other than Franz Liszt was the first to make an arrangement of this work for viola and piano in 1837, some three years after its composition. This arrangement, though first published only 1879, had, as one might guess when hearing the name Liszt, an extremely difficult piano part which covered the somewhat introspective qualities of the viola writing. The present new piano reduction by the internationally noted Berlioz scholar Hugh Macdonald is uniquely suited for preparations for performances with orchestra. In addition, the solo viola part contains music taken from the orchestra fabric which can be used to infuse performances with just piano accompaniment. The additional music for solo viola is presented above the Urtext viola part as ossias and in the keyboard part it is presented in small print. The solo viola part has been very judicially prepared with helpful fingerings an bowings by the renowned French violist Frédéric Lainé.

Study Scores

	Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Complete String Quintets Bärenreiter Urtext Edited by Ernst Hess and Ernst Fritz Schmid Introduction by Manfred Hermann Schmid TP 159 Euro 28,50 Complete collection of Mozart's quintet output Urtext from New Mozart Edition, revised on the basis of the original source Detailed introduction to Mozart's quintets and their historical context	Drawing on the revised Urtext from the New Mozart Edition, this study score contains everything Mozart contributed to the string quintet genre. It includes not only the six well known quintets in B-flat major (K. 174), C major (K. 515), G minor (K. 516), C minor (K. 406/516^b), D major (K. 593) and E-flat major (K. 614), but drafts and rejected versions from these works as well as all known quintet fragments.
Originally published in 1967, the text has been rechecked and revised as necessary on the basis of the autographs. The autograph scores of K. 174 and K. 515, neither of which was available for the 1967 edition, have been consulted for the first time. Manfred Hermann Schmid, professor of musicology at Tübingen University, has provided a three-part introduction. Part 1 illuminates the history of the genre and places Mozart's contribution in its historical context, while Part 2 discusses the chronology and genesis of Mozart's string quintets and Part 3 deals with problems specific to each work. Schmid's lengthy introduction thus serves as a concise monograph on Mozart's quintets that conveys valuable insights to musicians, students, and all admirers of Mozart's chamber music masterpieces.

First Edition	Giacomo Meyerbeer Quintet for Clarinet, 2 Violins, Viola and Violoncello Bärenreiter Urtext Edited by Dieter Klöcker BA 8731 Score with Parts Euro 19,50
This scholarly-critical volume is the first published edition of Meyerbeer's Clarinet Quintet, which vanished in World War II and only recently resurfaced in the estate of the clarinetist Carl Bärmann. Meyerbeer wrote the piece in Vienna in 1813 for his friend Heinrich Bärmann, a celebrated clarinettist to whom C. M. von Weber also dedicated several works. The extremely novel and virtuoso handling of the clarinet was unusual for its day: Meyerbeer allows it to stand out clearly from the string ensemble and pushes it to the utmost limits of its technique. The work enriched the meager chamber music repertoire for the clarinet in the 19th century. Our scholarly-critical edition makes this masterpiece available to performers for the first time in print. Besides the musical text, it offers a critical report and a detailed preface discussing the work's genesis. The parts have been given performance markings by Dieter Klöcker.
