Partituras para conjunto de cuerda

This six-movement work in love with sound is one of the most precious pieces in the trio literature. Cellists should find the virtuoso interludes of their part challenging and delightful.

With regard to the Adagio, one may speak of a 'necessary' discovery: Rarely has composition been so dreamily beautiful and emotive.

The impetuous urge flowing through the work and the brilliant instrumentation enter into a symbiosis with the perfect harmonic-melodic shaping, culminating in the final chorale.

These quadros, endowed with contrapuntal subtleties, also disprove the preconception of the dry fugues of the great Viennese master. Easy to execute.

The quartets of the 'almost' forgotten master bear witness to an impressive and eternally timeless tonal-painterly beauty and ingenious compositional style. Access with courage.

Each of the three quartets offers the players highly romantic 'equal' pleasure, with the technical demands of playing kept within bounds. The pieces are repertoire-worthy.

Edited from the first edition.

The creative impetus, the variability of expression, the never flagging inventiveness can also be found in these 6 quartets 'with 2 violas'. A ravishing 'instrumentation variant' for all violists!

Blake was a violist. His duos sparkle with melodic-thematic refinement, with which he was able to cultivate the specific playing technique of the viola.

Fiala's works, schooled in Haydn, offer melodic sweetness, clean movement with fine dynamic shading, as may be audibly recreated in our viola quartet, bathed in a 'deeper warm tonal language'.

Joseph Haydn's only string quintet with 2 violas is a musical delicacy of the best provenance. The concise movements shine with capricious interplay and melodic sweetness between violins and violas in...

The duos are worth studying for their brilliant technical playing, as they need not fear comparison with the duos of the same instrumentation by a Carl Stamitz, Franz Danzi and Wenzel Pichl.

In this Duetto, the double bass is so high that it can be performed comfortably on a violoncello or viola da gamba. Unlike in three of Sperger's other sonatas, the viola here is completely equal.

Bazzini's 5 quartets, written in classical formal rigor and coupled with the romanticizing 'Italianita', still indulge in virtuoso attitude, with modest technical playing requirements.
