the cantata i Mein Alter kommt ich kann nicht sterben i provides no information about its purpose or the time of its composition On the title page of the autograph set of parts only the performance dates of the Furstenschule Grimma from 1696 to 1703 are noted However the editor was able to identify a poem by Christian Weise from 1682 which was remarkable for its time as the text source It contains the remark an Lichtmesse the cantata is therefore intended for the end of the Christmas season After an introductory sonata the cantata is composed for tenor solo throughout The tenor is accompanied by the harpsichord as a continuo instrument the whole time which is unique in Kuhnau s surviving cantatas and gives the expressive work the feeling of chamber music Only in the last movement in which the song of Simeon is set to music five vocal parts are written possibly to be performed by a choir For the sonata and the final movement an organ was additionally used at the

Piano Harmonium b Language b Latin Baerenreiter presents a new arrangement of Ludwig van Beethoven s i Mass in C major i While the vocal parts remain unchanged the orchestra is replaced by four-hand piano and harmonium This arrangement commissioned by the Harvard Choruses and the Massachusetts American Choral Directors Association from the composer conductor and musicologist Michael Ostrzyga continues the tradition of arranging large-scale works for four-hand piano - a practice that reached its peak in the 19th century In its conception however it differs fundamentally from historical four-hand arrangements only the orchestral accompaniment is transcribed - true to the original stylistically authentic and idiomatic for the new instrumentation By contrast 19th-century arrangements aimed to reproduce the full score which while retaining the original vocal parts inevitably led to sonic and structural distortions Ostrzyga s arrangement on the other hand preserves the clarity and brilliance of the original score The use of the harmonium is reminiscent of Rossini s Messe solennelle giving prominence to an instrument that played a significant role in both church and domestic music-making in the 19th century From a small vocal ensemble accompanied by period instruments to large oratorio choirs with a modern grand piano and harmonium possibly with technical amplification this new version is suitable for a wide range of concert settings Beethovens masterpiece can thus be experienced anew in a fascinating and historically grounded guise Fri, 31 Jul 26 19:28:21 -0400

quartet b Scoring b Piano Violin Viola Violoncello When Beethoven wrote these three quartets he was 15 years old and a composition student of Christian Gottlob Neefe in Bonn They reveal a strong Mozartian influence while the brilliant piano writing already gives a sense of the mature Beethoven He may conceivably have written the works for the wealthy Mastiaux family in Bonn as he gave piano lessons to one of the daughters and the other three siblings played violin viola and violoncello The sole source for the quartets is the autograph score which contains many overwritings that shed light on the works original conception and possible alternative readings Although Beethoven never published the pieces in his lifetime and is not known to have performed them he reused their melodic and thematic material in later compositions Beethoven preserved the autograph score to the end of his days - perhaps an indication that the quartets meant a great deal to him The first edition was published by Artaria in Vienna one year after his death albeit with the pieces in a different order and with many errors in the musical text Barenreiter s scholarly performing edition of the Piano Quartets WoO 36 is edited by the Italian pianist Leonardo Miucci a specialist in the performance practice of keyboard music from this period The edition not only presents the correct readings it also sheds light on the young Beethoven s expressive notation and provides a plausible explanation for the distinction he made between dots and strokes to indicate staccato Fri, 31 Jul 26 15:52:10 -0400

have considered it to be his finest quartet and of his late period works the one dearest to his heart It is also believed that the composer invested so much of himself in it his ailing health the social isolation brought about by his deafness and the suicide attempt of his nephew Karl In addition it was reported that Franz Schubert asked to hear this piece once more on his deathbed Even if these anecdotes are not all true they reveal what generations of musicians felt they heard in this quartet Beethoven s most personal musical idiom and a vulnerable message from the final period of his
