This edition, published by Editio Musica Budapest (EMB) in the specialized Musica Rinata series, presents the work as a practical piano score (reduction of the original string orchestra accompaniment) for rehearsal and performance.

Composed in 1769, this concerto is an invaluable resource for trombonists, showcasing the alto trombone—an instrument crucial to 18th-century Austrian music. It offers clean, clear counterpoint and expressive solo passages characteristic of the pre-Mozartian Viennese style. This edition is essential for students and professionals seeking core repertoire from the time when the trombone was emerging as a solo instrument.

Interesting Facts

• The Composer's Stature: Johann Georg Albrechtsberger (1736–1809) was not only a prolific composer but was also the renowned composition teacher of Ludwig van Beethoven in Vienna. His focus on strict counterpoint and form is evident even in his lighter concert works.
• The Manuscript's Home: The original 1769 manuscript is preserved in the National Széchényi Library in Budapest, forming part of the historical Esterházy Archives. This connection underscores the strong musical ties between Vienna and Hungary in the Classical period.

Áttekintés

Fedezze fel a klasszikus kori harsonarepertoár egy jelentős darabját Johann Georg Albrechtsberger Concerto per trombone alto ed archi című művével. Ez a kiadás, amelyet az Editio Musica Budapest (EMB) adott ki a speciális Musica Rinata sorozatban, gyakorlati zongorakivonatként (az eredeti vonószenekari kíséret redukciójaként) szolgál próbákhoz és előadásokhoz.

Az 1769-ben komponált concerto felbecsülhetetlen értékű forrás a harsonások számára, bemutatva az alt harsonát – a 18. századi osztrák zene egyik kulcsfontosságú hangszerét. Tiszta, világos kontrapunktot és kifejező szóló részeket kínál, amelyek a Mozart előtti bécsi stílusra jellemzőek.

Érdekességek

• A zeneszerző nagysága: Johann Georg Albrechtsberger (1736–1809) nemcsak termékeny zeneszerző volt, hanem Ludwig van Beethoven híres zeneszerzés tanára is Bécsben.
• A kézirat őrzőhelye: Az 1769-es eredeti kéziratot a budapesti Országos Széchényi Könyvtár Zenetörténeti Gyűjteménye őrzi, az egykori Esterházy-féle zenei archívum részeként.
• Az alt harsona: A concerto kifejezetten alt harsonára íródott, amely hangolásban magasabb, mint a modern tenor vagy basszus harsona. Ez a hangszer kiválasztása tükrözi a klasszikus kor szólóműveihez szükséges speciális hangszínt és agilitást.
