Founded in Cologne in 2007, the Schumann Quartet is composed of the brothers Erik, Ken and Mark Schumann, along with violist Liisa Randalu. In May 2013 the Quartet has won the 1st Prize at the international String Quartet Competition “Quatuor à Bordeaux”, after it had already won the Competition “SCHUBERT AND MODERN MUSIC” in Graz (Austria) in 2012. Likewise the four musicians were among the prizewinners at the renowned Paolo Borciani Competition (2011) and at the 7th International Chamber Music Competition in Osaka (2011).

The ensemble is currently studying under the guidance of Harald Schoneweg (Cherubini Quartet) at Cologne Musikhochschule, and with Günter Pichler (Alban Berg Quartet) at the Queen Sofia College of Music, Madrid.

They also continue to receive valuable instruction from Heime Müller, Eberhard Feltz, Henk Guittart and the members of Alban Berg Quartet.

The ensemble is supported by scholarships from Villa Musica Rheinland-Pfalz (Mainz) and the Irene Steels-Wilsing Foundation, and was previously selected for a grant by the Werner Richard / Dr. Carl Dörken Foundation.

Ever since the 2009/10 season, the Schumann Quartet has enjoyed the status of Artist in Residence in the “Erstklassik” recital series held in Düsseldorf’s Robert Schumann Auditorium. They are also a welcome, often-invited guest in other concert halls of their home region North Rhine Westphalia, such as the Beethovenhaus in Bonn. Also the quartet goes regularly on tour to Japan, Canada, Austria and Italy.

The artists have teamed up with chamber music partners such as pianist Henri Sigfridsson, oboist Ramón Ortega Quero, clarinetist David Orlowsky, cellist Nicolas Altstaedt and violist Nils Mönkemeyer.

WDR Classical Radio (Cologne) has recorded the Schumann Quartet several times — most recently in January 2013, with a live concert broadcast of works by Mozart and Verdi, along with the 3rd String Quartet by recently deceased Düsseldorf composer Jürg Baur.

Released in April 2013, the Schumann Quartet’s début CD features works by Beethoven, Bartók and Brahms.

St Paul’s Suite

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

St Paul’s Suite (Op. 29, No. 2), originally titled Suite in C,^[1] is a composition for string orchestra by the English composer Gustav Holst. It was written in 1912, but due to revisions was not published until 1922. It is named after the St Paul’s Girls’ School in the United Kingdom, where Holst was Director of Music from 1905 to 1934. It was written in gratitude to the school which had built a soundproof studio for him. This suite is the most famous of the many pieces he wrote for students at St. Paul’s.^[2]

The suite has four movements:

• I. Jig: Vivace (alternating between 6/8 and 9/8 time)
• II. Ostinato: Presto
• III. Intermezzo: Andante con moto (labeled “Dance” in the manuscript)
• IV. Finale (The Dargason): Allegro (arranged from the “Fantasia on the Dargason” from his Second Suite in F for Military Band)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 
The Piano Sonata in A major D. 664, Op. posth. 120 is a sonata for solo piano composed by Franz Schubert in the summer of 1819.

Movements

I. Allegro moderato

A major

II. Andante

D major

III. Allegro

A major

Well regarded among pianists, the “Little” A major sonata is so called to distinguish it from the hefty 1828 sonata in the same key.^{[citation needed]} It is the shortest among Schubert’s complete sonatas.^[1] The manuscript, completed in July 1819, was dedicated to Josephine von Koller of Steyr in Upper Austria, whom he considered to be “very pretty” and “a good pianist.” The lyrical, buoyant, in spots typically poignant nature of this sonata fits the image of a young Schubert in love, living in a summery Austrian countryside, which he also considered to be “unimaginably lovely.”^[2]

The A major sonata is straightforward, with a dulcet melodic opening. It was the first of Schubert’s piano sonatas where the sonata form as perfected by his idol, Beethoven, does not seem wrestled with; rather, it is a “joyous breakthrough,” a carefree triumph over strict rules of construction.^[3]

The original manuscript to this “little” sonata has been lost.^[4]

Wilhelm Walter Friedrich Kempff:

(25 November 1895 – 23 May 1991) was a German pianist and composer. Although his repertoire included Bach, Mozart, Chopin, Schumann, Liszt and Brahms, Kempff was particularly well known for his interpretations of the music of Ludwig van Beethoven and Franz Schubert. He recorded the complete collection of their piano sonatas.^[1][2] He is considered to have been one of the chief exponents of the Germanic tradition during the 20th century and one of the greatest pianists of all time.^[3

Album cover for Wilhelm Kempff’s recording of Beethoven Piano Sonatas on DG 139 935 (1965), which received the Grand Prix du Disque.

Early life

Kempff was born in Jüterbog, Brandenburg, in 1895.^[1] He grew up in nearby Potsdam where his father was a royal music director and organist at St. Nicolai Church. His grandfather was also an organist and his brother Georg became director of church music at the University of Erlangen. Kempff studied music at first at the Berlin Hochschule für Musik at the age of nine after receiving lessons from his father at a younger age. Whilst there he studied composition with Robert Kahn and piano with Karl Heinrich Barth^[1] (with whom Arthur Rubinstein also studied). In 1914 Kempff moved on to study at the Viktoria gymnasium in Potsdam before returning to Berlin to finish his training.^[1]

As a pianist

In 1917, Kempff gave his first major recital, consisting of predominantly major works, including Beethoven’s Hammerklavier Sonata and Brahms Variations on a theme of Paganini.^[1] Kempff toured widely in Europe and much of the rest of the world. Between 1936 and 1979 he performed ten times in Japan (a small Japanese island was named Kenpu-san in his honor)^{[citation needed]}. Kempff made his first London appearance in 1951 and his first in New York in 1964. He gave his last public performance in Paris in 1981, and then retired for health reasons (Parkinson’s Disease)^{[citation needed]}. He died in Positano, Italy at the age of 95, five years after his wife, whom he had married in 1926. They were survived by five children.^[1]

Wilhelm Kempff recorded over a period of some sixty years. His recorded legacy includes works of Schumann, Brahms, Schubert, Mozart, Bach, Liszt, Chopin and particularly, of Beethoven.^[1]

 Kempff (right) with Ernest Ansermet (left) in 1965

He was among the first to record the complete sonatas of Franz Schubert, long before these works became popular. (For Schubert sonatas which were left incomplete, Kempff recorded only the completed movements and not the fragments.) He also recorded two sets of the complete Beethoven sonatas (and one early, almost complete set on shellac 1926-1945), one in mono (1951–1956) and the other in stereo (1964–1965). He recorded the complete Beethoven piano concertos twice as well, both with the Berlin Philharmonic; the first from the early 1950s in mono with Paul van Kempen, and the later in stereo from the early 1960s with Ferdinand Leitner. Kempff also recorded chamber music with Yehudi Menuhin, Pierre Fournier, Wolfgang Schneiderhan, Paul Grummer, and Henryk Szeryng, among others.

He left recordings of most of his repertory, including the complete sonatas of Beethoven and Schubert. He performed to an advanced age, concertizing past his eightieth birthday. His association with the Berlin Philharmonic spanned over sixty years.  Read more

Schubert – Overture in E minor, D. 648

ncmtman

Schubert wrote his Overture in E minor in 1819. It was performed in Vienna two years later, but then disappeared from public view until the publication of Schubert’s collected works in 1886. Some Schubertians regard it as a landmark work of unusual power, breaking ground that he would build on in his last two symphonies. Schubert biographer John Reed appears to disagree when he writes that it “lacks any touch of Schubertian charm. The themes are short and symphonic, rather than lyrical.” But the two opinions are reconcilable. The Overture is, in a sense, Schubert doing Beethoven: The short motifs building into longer sequences and the mounting tension and explosive climaxes all show Beethoven’s influence on the 22-year-old Schubert. At the same time, the actual construction of those sequences, with the same motif repeated at progressively higher or lower pitches, harks back to Baroque music. Orchestration: 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, timpani, and strings.This performance by the Prague Sinfonia, conducted by Christian Benda

Franz Schubert:  From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

 Portrait of Franz Schubert by Franz Eybl (1827)

Franz Schubert (31 January 1797 – 19 November 1828) was an Austrian composer. He was an extremely prolific composer, so that when he died at age thirty-one he had composed over six hundred secular vocal works (mainly Lieder), seven complete symphonies, sacred music, operas, incidental music and a large body of chamber and piano music.

Otto Erich Deutsch, an Austrian musicologist, listed 998 compositions in the first comprehensive catalogue of Schubert’s works. This catalogue was first published in 1951 as Schubert: Thematic Catalogue of all his Works in Chronological Order. A revised edition appeared in German in 1978. Later editions of the catalogue contained minor updates.

Publication of Schubert’s compositions started during his lifetime, by opus number. After the composer’s death, posthumous opus numbers continued to be assigned to new publications of his work until 1867 (Op. Post. 173).

There are two attempts to publish everything Schubert has composed in a single edition:

• From 1884 to 1897 Breitkopf & Härtel published twenty-two series of Franz Schubert’s Werke: Kritisch durchgesehene Gesammtausgabe, known as the “Alte Gesamt-Ausgabe” (AGA, the former complete edition). From 1965 Dover Publications started to reprint this edition, and later it was made available at the IMSLP website.
• The Neue Schubert-Ausgabe (NSA), also known as the New Schubert Edition (NSE), is published by Bärenreiter (Kassel). It proposes eighty-three volumes, in eight series. Publication of all volumes has been scheduled to conclude in 2016. Plans for this edition began as early as 1963, with the foundation of the International Schubert Society, headquartered at the University of Tübingen, Germany.

Texts of Schubert’s vocal music can be published without the music, for instance his Lieder (songs) at LiederNet

The following constitutes a complete listing of Schubert’s known works. It is ordered ascendingly according to Deutsch numbers, and attempts to reflect the most current information with regards to Schubert’s catalogue. For reasons of space, this list is divided into two articles. The first article lists Schubert’s compositions from Deutsch entries D 1 – D 500 (all are dated works). The second article lists Schubert’s compositions from Deutsch entries D 501 – D 965B (also dated works), as well as D 966 – D 998 (undated works). The second article also includes the Appendix (Anhang) to the Deutsch catalogue (works listed as “D Anh.”) and a list of works that have yet to receive a Deutsch number (listed as “D deest”). For the second article, see List of compositions by Franz Schubert (D 501–D 998).

Amadeus Quartet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

Amadeus Quartet
left to right: Martin Lovett, Norbert Brainin, Siegmund Nissel, Peter Schidlof
Background information
Also known as	Brainin Quartet
Years active	1947–1987
Past members	Norbert Brainin (first violin) Siegmund Nissel (second violin) Peter Schidlof (viola) Martin Lovett (cello)

The Amadeus Quartet was a world famous string quartet founded in 1947 and disbanded in 1987, remarkable for having retained its founding members throughout its long history.

Because of their Jewish origin, the violinists Norbert Brainin (12 March 1923 – 10 April 2005), Siegmund Nissel (3 January 1922 – 21 May 2008) and the viola player Peter Schidlof (9 July 1922 – 16 August 1987) (later violist) were driven out of Vienna after Hitler’s Anschluss of 1938. Brainin and Schidlof met in a British internment camp on the Isle of Man; many Jewish refugees had the misfortune of being confined by the British as “enemy aliens” upon seeking refuge in the UK. Brainin was released after a few months, but Schidlof remained in the camp, where he met Nissel. Finally Schidlof and Nissel were released, and the three of them were able to study with violin teacher Max Rostal, who taught them free of charge. It was through Rostal that they met cellist Martin Lovett, and in 1947 they formed the Brainin Quartet, which was renamed the Amadeus Quartet in 1948.

The group gave its first performance as the Amadeus Quartet at the Wigmore Hall in London on 10 January 1948, underwritten by British composer and conductor Imogen Holst.^[1] On 25 January 1983 the Quartet gave a 35th anniversary concert in the same concert hall with a programme which included Beethoven’s String Quartet in C major, op.59 no. 3 (3rd Rasumovsky Quartet). Touring extensively, the Amadeus performed throughout Europe, Canada, the United States, Japan, and South America. Noted for its smooth, sophisticated style, its seamless ensemble playing, and its sensitive interpretation, the quartet made some 200 recordings, among them the complete quartets of Ludwig van Beethoven, Johannes Brahms, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. For concerts as well as recordings of string quintets (Mozart, Franz Schubert, Johannes Brahms, Anton Bruckner) and string sextets (Brahms) they regularly invited Cecil Aronowitz as second viola and William Pleeth as second cello. Though they emphasized a standard Classical and Romantic repertory, they also performed works by such 20th-century composers as Béla Bartók and Benjamin Britten who wrote his third quartet expressly for them.

The Amadeus was one of the most celebrated quartets of the 20th century, and its members were awarded numerous honors, including:

• The Order of the British Empire, presented by the Queen.
• Doctorates from the Universities of London, York, and Caracas.
• The highest of all German awards, the Great Cross of Merit.
• The Austrian Cross of Honour for Arts and Sciences.

The quartet disbanded in 1987 upon the death of the violist Peter Schidlof, who was regarded as irreplaceable by the surviving members. Brainin died on 10 April 2005^[2] and Nissel on 21 May 2008.^[1] Only Lovett survived presently.

Happy Birthday Mozart: Mozart piano sonata # 9 K.311 – DANIEL BARENBOIM , great compositions/perfoemances

DANIEL BARENBOIM ~ Mozart piano sonata # 9 ; K.311 1989

GreatPerformers1

Published on Jan 27, 2014

Daniel Barenboim plays Mozart’s piano sonata # 9 in D major, K.311 with wonderful vigor and delicacy as only he can do. These recordings were made in Germany in 1989 and are part of a full DVD set of all of Mozart’s piano sonatas. The idea of orchestral writing is evident in the K.311 sonata, especially the 3rd movement, because of the contrast in texture and tonal colour.However, it is the 2nd. movement that gives off a distinctly beautiful
sonata movement without a development. Its song-like eleven-bar theme, with a concluding note at the 12th measure, is followed by an episode and a wonderfully varied return of the theme in D major (measure 25) instead of a contrasting second subject. The recapitulation starts in measure 39. One of Mozart’s most memorable piano sonatas.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart‘s Piano Sonata No. 9 in D major, K. 311 (284c) was written on the composer’s stay in Augsburg and Mannheim in November-December 1777, and is contemporaneous with his Sonata K. 309 (Mozart wrote his Sonata K. 310 in the summer of the following year, in Paris). The three sonatas K. 309-311 were published as a set ‘Opus IV’ in about 1782, by Franz Joseph Heina in Paris.

The work has three movements:

1. Allegro con spirito
2. Andante con espressione
3. Rondeau (allegro)

A typical performance takes about 15 to 17 minutes.

The first movement is in sonata form. Its first subject has a quasi orchestral opening, and its second subject in the dominant key (A major) is quieter. The development section is almost entirely based on the last four bars of the exposition.

The second movement has an episodic structure A-B-A-B-A-coda. The second theme’s melody is gently decorated with syncopation, accompanied by broken chords in the left hand.

Lastly, the most technically demanding movement of the three is a sonata rondo, with a short central episode in F sharp minor (the main key’s relative minor). A slow cadenza-like passage containing a rapid ascending chromatic scale leads back to the first theme.

The piece displays mature thematic development.

*********************************************************************

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Symphony No. 5 in B-flat major, Op. 55 (also known as The Heroic^{[citation needed]}), was written by Alexander Glazunov from April to October 1895. Although in this symphony Glazunov returned to his conventional four-movement layout (his Fourth Symphony had only three) he frequently utilizes thematic transformation. Glazunov described it as “silenced sounds” and “an architectural poem”.^{[citation needed]}

Instrumentation

The symphony calls for a romantic orchestra of the following instruments:

3 flutes (3rd doubling piccolo), 2 oboes, 3 clarinets in B flat (3rd doubling bass clarinet), 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, triangle, cymbals, bass drum, bells, harp, strings

Overview

Glazunov dedicated his Fifth to Sergei Taneyev, a Russian composer, pianist, and teacher, and it was first performed at the Second Russian Concert at the Hall of the Nobility in St. Petersburg on 17 November 1896; the premiere was conducted by the composer himself. A Leipzig newspaper called the symphony “very profound” and “sparkling” and reported that the scherzo had to be reprised on opening night to the delight of the audience.

Franz Schubert:  Arpeggione Sonata

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

The Sonata in A minor for Arpeggione and Piano, D. 821, was written by Franz Schubert in Vienna in November 1824. The sonata is the only substantial composition for the arpeggione (which was essentially a bowed guitar) which remains extant today. It belongs to the same period as the Death and the Maiden Quartet, when Schubert was suffering from the advanced stages of syphilis and lapsing into increasingly frequent episodes of depression.

History

The piece was probably commissioned by Schubert’s friend Vincenz Schuster, who was a virtuoso of the arpeggione, an instrument which had been invented only the previous year. By the time the sonata was published posthumously in 1871, the enthusiasm for the novelty of the arpeggione had long since vanished, together with the instrument itself.^[1]

Today, the piece is heard almost exclusively in transcriptions for cello and piano or viola and piano that were arranged after the posthumous publication, although versions that substitute other instruments, including the double bass, the flute, the euphonium and the clarinet, or the guitar for the piano part are also performed. [1] Transcribers have attempted to address the problems posed by the smaller playing range of these alternative instruments, in comparison with the arpeggione, as well as the attendant modifications in articulation (4 versus 6 strings).

The work has been recorded in the original version by the following musicians:

• Klaus Storck and Alfons Kontarsky (1974, LP No 2533 174 on the Archiv Produktion label). Klaus Storck played an arpeggione attributed to Anton Mitteis, a student of the instrument’s inventor, Johann Georg Stauffer; Alfons Kontarsky played a Brodmann fortepiano built in Vienna ca. 1810.
• Alfred Lessing and Jozef De Beenhouwer (2000–2001, Ars Produktion FCD 368 392). Played on a copy by Henning Aschauer of an early 19th-century instrument built either by J. G. Staufer or by Anton Mitteis, at present in the Musical Instrument Collection of the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation and on the 1824 Conrad Graf pianoforte from the Beethoven House in Bonn.
• Gerhart Darmstadt and Egino Klepper (2005, Cavalli Records CCD 242)
• Nicolas Deletaille and Paul Badura-Skoda (2006–2007, Fuga Libera FUG529). This recording was made in Firenze (Accademia Bartolomeo Cristofori) on a Benjamen La Brigue arpeggione (2001) and the fortepiano is a Conrad Graf (C. 1820)
• Nicolas Deletaille and Alain Roudier

Movements

The work consists of three movements. A typical performance takes just over 20 minutes.

1. Allegro moderato
2. Adagio in E major
3. Allegretto in A major

Noted arrangements

• Gaspar Cassadó – Arr. for Cello

Orchestre Philarmonia Slovanika dirigé par Alberto Lizzio
Rosamunde, D 797, est une musique de scène en une ouverture et dix parties (dont quatre chantées) composée par Franz Schubert en 1823 pour la pièce Rosamunde, princesse de Chypre de Helmina von Chézy. La pièce est tombée dans l’oubli mais la musique, en particulier celle de l’ouverture et du troisième entracte, reste une des plus populaires du compositeur et est régulièrement présente au répertoire des grands orchestres.Deux ouvertures sont associées à Rosamunde. Celle actuellement jouée est celle de Die Zauberharfe (« la Harpe enchantée », D 644), la seconde était initialement destinée par Schubert à son opéra Alfonso und Estrella (D 732).Le corps de l’œuvre est écrit pour soprano, chœur et orchestre et comporte dix parties :
Entracte n° 1 : Allegro molto moderato en si mineur
Musique de ballet n° 1 : Allegro moderato en si mineur, Andante un poco assai en sol majeur
Entracte n° 2 : Andante en ré majeur
Romance : « Der Vollmond strahlt auf Bergeshöh’n » : Andante con moto en fa mineur
Chœur des esprits : « In der Tiefe wohnt das Licht » : Adagio en ré majeur
Entracte n° 3 : Andantino en si bémol majeur
Mélodies des bergers : Andante, sextuor pour clarinettes, bassons et cors
Chœur des bergers : « Hier auf den Fluren » : Allegretto
Chœur des chasseurs : « Wie lebt sich’s so fröhlich im Grünen » : Allegro moderato
Musique de ballet n° 2 : Andantino en sol majeur
L’œuvre fut créée en 1823 au Theater an der Wien.Certains pensent que l’entracte n° 1 pourrait être le finale manquant de la Symphonie inachevée (Mackerras enregistra la symphonie en 1990 avec ce finale hypothétique).
Le thème du troisième entracte de Rosamunde a été réutilisé par Schubert dans le Quatuor à cordes n° 13 et dans l’ Impromptu D 935, où il sert de thème à six variations pour piano.L’ouverture fut utilisée par Samuel Goldwyn dans son film Hans Christian Andersen (1952) pour une scène de ballet exécutée par Zizi Jeanmaire.Certains passages se retrouvent dans le chant de Noël Mille cherubini in coro interprété par Luciano Pavarotti au cours de son concert de Noël en 1980.

Durch die Nacht zu dir;

Liebchen, komm zu mir!

Flüsternd schlanke Wipfel rauschen
In des Mondes Licht;
Des Verräters feindlich Lauschen
Fürchte, Holde, nicht.

Hörst die Nachtigallen schlagen?
Ach! sie flehen dich,
Mit der Töne süßen Klagen
Flehen sie für mich.

Sie verstehn des Busens Sehnen,
Kennen Liebesschmerz,
Rühren mit den Silbertönen
Jedes weiche Herz.

Laß auch dir die Brust bewegen,
Liebchen, höre mich!
Bebend harr’ ich dir entgegen!
Komm, beglücke mich!

***Orchestra: Failoni Orchestra
***Conductor: Michael Halász

In the opening movement, the initial theme of the Allegro vivace is based on the corresponding first theme of Ludwig van Beethoven’s overture to The Creatures of Prometheus.

The second movement is a theme with five variations in E flat major. Although there is some variation in the melody, the primary focus of the variations are on instrumentation and tone color. The first variation features violins and winds. The second variation passes the theme between the low strings and the woodwinds. The third variation is again violins and winds. The fourth variation is in C minor and features some acceleration with the use triplet-sixteenth notes. The fifth variation maintains the triplet-sixteenths, but they move into the background with the melody returning close to its original form as a kind of recapitulation. A coda concludes the movement.

The minuet is in C minor and mainly scored for the tutti and fortissimo. The contrasting Trio in E flat major is more thinly scored winds, violins and pizzicato bass. The melody of the trio is actually a variation of the theme used in the second movement forming a melodic and harmonic (E-flat/C minor) link is made between the inner two movements.

The finale is a galop in fast 2/4 time.

The Quartettsatz in C-moll (English: Quartet Movement in C minor), D. 703 was composed by Franz Schubert in December 1820. It is the first movement, of a Twelfth String Quartet which Schubert never completed. In addition to the opening movement, Schubert also composed the first forty bars of a second movement marked Andante.

Schubert / A. Brendel, 1961: Fantasy in C Major, D. 760 (Op. 15) – The Wanderer – 

Wanderer-Fantasie (German translation would Fantasy Traveller) is the popular name of the Opus 15 (D 760) in C major by Franz Schubert written in November 1822. This is a Fantasy for piano in the classical form of the sonata. There is strong correlation between movements, so this part is interpreted as a process of sonata with significant variations from the classical form.

Six moments musicaux, D 780 (Op. 94) is a collection of six short pieces for solo piano composed by Franz Schubert. The movements are as follows:

1. Moderato in C major
2. Andantino in A-flat major
3. Allegro moderato in F minor
4. Moderato in C-sharp minor
5. Allegro vivace in F minor
6. Allegretto in A-flat major

Along with the Impromptus, they are among the most frequently played of all Schubert’s piano music, and have been recorded many times. No. 3 in F minor has been arranged by Leopold Godowsky and others.

It has been said that Schubert was deeply influenced in writing these pieces by the Impromptus, Op. 7, of Jan Václav Voříšek (1822).^[1][2]

They were published by Leidesdorf in Vienna in 1828, under the title “Six Momens [sic] musicals [sic]”. The correct French forms are now usually used – moments (instead of momens), and musicaux (instead of musicals). The sixth number was published in 1824 in a Christmas album under the title Les plaintes d’un troubadour.^[2]

great compositions/performances: F. Schubert – Symphony No. 4 “Tragic” in C minor, D. 417 (Harnoncourt)

[youtube.com/watch?v=CnoI-sYtCOU]

F. Schubert – Symphony No. 4 “Tragic” in C minor, D. 417 Conductor – Nikolaus Harnoncourt
Wiener Philharmoniker
Musikvereinssaal Wien

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The symphony has four movements (a performance lasts around 30 minutes.)

1. Adagio molto – Allegro vivace
2. Andante in A flat major
3. Menuetto. Allegro vivace – Trio in E flat major
4. Allegro

The Symphony No. 4 in C minor, D. 417, commonly called the Tragic (German: Tragische), was composed by Franz Schubert in April 1816.^[1] It was completed one year after the Third Symphony, when Schubert was 19 years old. However, the work was premiered only on November 19, 1849, in Leipzig, more than two decades after Schubert’s death.^{[citation needed]}

The title Tragic is Schubert’s own. It was added to the autograph manuscript some time after the work was completed.^[1] It is not known exactly why he added the title, but the work is one of only two symphonies (the Unfinished Symphony is the other) which Schubert wrote in a minor key.

The symphony is scored for 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets in B-flat, 2 bassoons, 4 horns in A-flat, C and E-flat, 2 trumpets in C and E-flat, timpani and strings.
