Paul Müller-Zürich

Composed in 1972, the quintet is aimed at all house musicians who enjoy playing in mixed ensembles, thanks to its modest technical demands, especially the very light violin part.

Songs 'Das große Licht' by Simon Dach and 'Trost der Nacht' by Grimmelshausen set to music in the late Romantic style of 1941. Of particular charm: the darkly colored clarinet part.

In the 1933 nonet (Praeludium, Aria and Fugue), in which late Romantic echoes are clearly audible, the strings can also be chorally scored.

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'.

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 unmistakable tonal language.
