Bernhard Päuler

The impressive work of an early composer. The timeless tonal beauty and the technical refinement should promote the rediscovery of the quintet.

First Edition

The 'finely educated, humane, extremely modest artist' Hänsel gave us with the clarinet quartet one of the most attractive and valuable contributions of this genre.

A sonorous jewel by the great clarinettist of the Meininger Hofkapelle. The touching, simple singing of the slow movement is unparalleled.

The arrangement of Bach's 5th organ trio sonata for strings and suspended bass is ideally within the range of the violin and viola; octave shifts were not necessary.

Bach's 4th organ trio sonata, originally in E minor, was transposed by a third to C minor, and thus ideally adapted to the range of the violin and viola.

Leclair's best-known trio sonata captivates with its grace in the thematic penetration of the upper voices and the partnered singing. Indispensable.

Schaffrath's contemporaries praised 'the beauty and popularity of his works', even extolling them in the same breath as those of Bach, Telemann and Handel. There is something to it ...

Also in this piece belonging to the series of six op. 8 Stamitz offers a tonally strongly contrasting interplay between 2 wind and 2 string parts: finest classical table music!

In the quintet, the instruments are offered solos that always lead to the ripieno theme. The piece is recommended as a chamber music precursor to the 'Sinfonie concertan te'.

The wonderful work dedicated to 'Frau Dr. Clara Schumann' belongs to Naumann's nobly felt, perfectly formed chamber music of classical character. A feast for violists.

The '4 Lieder' of the Swabian Edele breathe a breath of Biedermeil charm. They are masterfully modeled on the romantic-programmatic ideals of their time.

A weighty contribution by cellist Dotzauer to the rare oboe quartet literature. Thanks to its melodic flow and the lightly swinging rondo finale, hardly any wishes remain unfulfilled.
