After years of several personal and creative crises, the last two years of Beethoven's life were marked by an irrepressible creative urge that was directed almost exclusively towards the string quartet genre.
Of all these late works, it is the Quartet in A minor op. 132 that most impressively addresses the overcoming of the depression of the past years. The middle of the five movements is a "Canzona di ringraziamento" entitled: "Holy Song of Thanksgiving of a recovered person to the deity in the Lydian key".
In this movement a slow introduction is followed by the heading: "Feeling renewed strength". Due to the middle movement full of "divine power", this string quartet is certainly one of Beethoven's most emotional compositions.
For this new edition of the Quartet op. 132, Beethoven specialist Jonathan Del Mar consulted the autograph as well as several sets of parts corrected by Beethoven, enabling him to correct countless inconsistencies and unconvincing editorial decisions of previous editions.

| Dvorak, Antonin | | Biblical Songs op. 99 | BARENREITER URTEXT
Editor: Velicka, Eva | | BA 10425 | EUR 17.95 | High voice | 9790260107496 | BA 10426 | EUR 17.95 | Low voice | 9790260107502
The ten "Biblical Songs" op. 99 are the culmination of Antonin Dvorak's song output. This unique cycle, based on Czech Psalm texts from the Kralice Bible, was composed in the United States in 1894. Although Dvorak had already set a number of biblical texts to music, his versions for solo voice with piano accompaniment are the first of their kind in his oeuvre. All the songs share a deep empathy with the meaning of the words and a meticulous declamation of the Czech language.
The principal source for this new edition is the Simrock first print of 1895, which contains a separate music staff with altered notation for the German and English translations. This solution, sanctioned by the composer himself, reflects Dvorak's essential view of linguistic declamation.
In our previous edition there was only one music staff and the translation attempted to imitate the Czech declamation. In contrast, our new edition has language-specific alternatives directly in the notation, as in the Simrock print.

| Handel, George Frideric | | Song for St. Cecilia's Day HWV 76 | Halle Handel Edition (HHA) I/15
Editor: Blaut, Stephan | | BA 10722-01 | EUR 285.00 | 9790006550319 | | Reduced subscription price available | In the autograph, the "little Cecilia Ode", composed in September 1739, is superscribed with "Song"; the title used in contemporary sources, such as the textual source by John Dryden, and taken over by the Halle Handel Edition is "Song for St Cecilia's Day". With this work Handel contributed to a tradition which prevailed in England in the 17th and 18th centuries and which entailed regular commissions of works in the honour of the ancient martyr and patron saint as well as socially effective performances of these compositions. In the first half of the 18th century, the London audience was accustomed to being presented with three-part operas and oratorios. For this reason, at the premiere the "one-part" Ode was combined with the two-part "Alexander's Feast" thereby complying with the expected scope of the musical event. The Ode does not offer a dramaturgically presentable action but rather in its seven parts praises music and its effect.
This edition of Handel's "Song for St Cecilia's Day" includes in its main part music and text of the premiere's version. Even though exact information as to which music was played as the instrumental introduction of the Ode has not come down to us, this edition renders the introductory pieces to be found in the autograph score. Appendix I presents early versions of three movements which were shortened or considerably extended prior to the premiere. Appendix II includes three pieces which represent alterations and a new setting of the aria "The soft complaining flute", all put together by Handel for performances after the premiere with the intention to do justice to the new singers in his ensemble.
