Overview

Explore the vibrant chamber music of the Viennese Classical period with Johann Georg Albrechtsberger's Concertino in E-flat (MR 22). Published by Editio Musica Budapest in the historically significant Musica Rinata series, this edition provides both the full score and individual parts necessary for performance. The work is scored for a fascinating combination of five instruments, featuring the rare trombula (or an alternative, the Flute), accompanied by strings (Violin, Viola, Cello) and Harpsichord/Piano.

Composed in 1771, this Concertino showcases Albrechtsberger's masterful command of counterpoint and melodic invention. It offers an invaluable opportunity for chamber groups to perform a high-quality, lesser-known work by a contemporary of Haydn and Mozart. The editing by Jenő Vécsey, István Kecskeméti, and Dorrit Révész ensures academic rigor and clear presentation for modern performance.

Interesting Facts

The Composer and the Giants: Johann Georg Albrechtsberger (1736–1809) was one of the most respected musicians and theorists in Vienna. He served as Kapellmeister at St. Stephen's Cathedral, but he is perhaps most famous today for being the counterpoint and composition teacher of Ludwig van Beethoven and also instructing other notable figures like Hummel.
The Mystery of the Trombula: The original score calls for the trombula. In 18th-century Vienna, this term often referred to the Jew's Harp, a surprisingly popular virtuoso instrument at the time. The inclusion of the flute part in this edition allows the work to be performed easily by modern ensembles, while the original title preserves the piece's historical curiosity.
Musica Rinata Series: The EMB's Musica Rinata series, under which this work is published, is dedicated to bringing little-known or forgotten musical treasures from the Renaissance, Baroque, and early Classical periods back into the modern repertoire. This series makes rare historical pieces available for musicians globally.

Áttekintés

Fedezze fel a bécsi klasszikus kor élénk kamarazenéjét Johann Georg Albrechtsberger Esz-dúr Concertinójával (MR 22). Az Editio Musica Budapest gondozásában, a történelmileg jelentős Musica Rinata sorozatban megjelent kiadvány a teljes partitúrát és az előadáshoz szükséges szólamokat is tartalmazza. A mű öt hangszerre íródott, a ritka trombula (vagy alternatívaként fuvola), vonósok (hegedű, brácsa, cselló) és csembaló/zongora kíséretével.

Az 1771-ben komponált Concertino bemutatja Albrechtsberger kontrapunktikus mesterségét és dallami találékonyságát. Pótolhatatlan lehetőséget kínál a kamarazenekarok számára egy magas színvonalú, de kevésbé ismert mű előadására, amelyet Haydn és Mozart kortársa írt.

Érdekességek

A zeneszerző és az óriások: Johann Georg Albrechtsberger (1736–1809) Bécs egyik legelismertebb zenésze és elméletírója volt. Kápolna karnagyként szolgált a Szent István-székesegyházban, de ma talán a leginkább Ludwig van Beethoven kontrapunkt és zeneszerzés tanáraként ismert.
A Trombula rejtélye: Az eredeti partitúra trombulát ír elő. A 18. századi Bécsben ez a kifejezés gyakran a doromboló hangszerre utalt, amely meglepően népszerű virtuóz hangszer volt akkoriban. A fuvolaszólam felvétele a jelenlegi kiadásba lehetővé teszi a mű könnyebb előadását modern együttesek számára is.
Musica Rinata sorozat: Az EMB Musica Rinata sorozata a reneszánsz, barokk és korai klasszikus kor kevéssé ismert, vagy elfeledett zenei kincseinek modern repertoárba való visszaállítását célozza.
