Paul Müller-Zürich

Edited from the autograph.

Composed in 1954 for the Louisville Philharmonic Society, this concerto is one of Müller's most important works. Late Romantic echoes facilitate access to Müller's distinctive tonal language.

Written in 1952, this tonal work is captivating for the esprit of its 'programmatic' movements: Aubade, Capriccio, Cortège triste and Sérénade.

Written in the 1930s, the concerto was inspired by the Zurich Chamber Orchestra and has since been undeniably regarded as 'a throw in invention, powerful in design and of pithy modernity'.

The technically easy to master work (2nd violin and viola executable in the 1st position) is a choral version of the Quintet op.74 for violin, clarinet, bassoon, cello and piano (BP 1276).
