Overview

Rediscover a hidden gem of the Esterházy musical heritage with Gregorius Joseph Werner’s Concertante Pieces. This scholarly edition, published in 1964 as part of the prestigious Musica Rinata series by Editio Musica Budapest, brings to light the sophisticated instrumental writing of Joseph Haydn’s predecessor.

Edited by the renowned musicologist Jenő Vécsey, this score features works designed for harpsichord or organ accompaniment with a chamber ensemble. Werner’s style represents a fascinating bridge between the strict polyphony of the High Baroque and the emerging galant style. This A/4 format full score is an essential acquisition for early music ensembles, keyboardists, and researchers focused on the musical life of the 18th-century Austrian and Hungarian aristocratic courts.

Áttekintés

Fedezze fel az Esterházy-udvar zenei örökségének egyik rejtett kincsét, Gregorius Joseph Werner Concertante Pieces (Koncertáló darabok) című művét. Az Editio Musica Budapest 1964-es kiadványa a rangos Musica Rinata sorozat részeként jelent meg, és Joseph Haydn elődjének kifinomult hangszeres világába nyújt betekintést.

A neves zenetudós, Vécsey Jenő által közreadott kottában szereplő darabok csembalóra vagy orgonára, valamint kamaraegyüttesre íródtak. Werner stílusa izgalmas hidat képez a magasbarokk szigorú polifóniája és a kibontakozó gáláns stílus között. Ez az A/4-es formátumú teljes partitúra elengedhetetlen forrás régizenei együttesek, billentyűsök és a 18. századi udvari zenei élet kutatói számára.

Interesting Facts

• Haydn's Predecessor: Gregorius Joseph Werner served as the Kapellmeister for the Esterházy family for 38 years. When Joseph Haydn was hired as Vice-Kapellmeister in 1761, he worked under the aging Werner until the latter's death in 1766.
• The Esterházy Archive: Most of Werner’s surviving manuscripts are preserved in the National Széchényi Library in Budapest. The Musica Rinata series was specifically created to publish these neglected masterpieces.
• Musical Style: While Werner was known as a master of the "old style" (contrapuntal writing), these Concertante Pieces showcase his ability to adapt to the more modern, melodic trends of his time.
• Versatility: The solo part is intentionally flexible, allowing for performance on either the harpsichord for a secular chamber setting or the organ for more formal or sacred acoustics.
