One of Leos Janacek 's last chamber music works was written in the autumn of 1926 at the suggestion of the pianist Otakar Hollmann (1894-1967) an invalid from the First World War. Like his contemporary Paul Wittgenstein Hollmann urged composers to write something for Piano left hand; he succeeded in winning over Bohuslav Martinu Erwin Schulhoff and Janacek to do this. Janacek did not want as he put it to compose a dance for one leg but finally wrote a four-movement work with associations to military music scored for Piano Flute (Piccolo) two Trumpets three Trombones (preferably valveTrombones because of the fast passages) and a tenor Tuba. The French Horn was allowed by the composer to substitute the Tuba. The Capriccio was premiered by Otakar Hollmann and members of the Czech Philharmonic in Prague on 2 March 1928 in the presence of the enthusiastic composer. The new edition is based on volume E/5 of the Critical Complete Edition of the Works of Leos Janacek . Urtext based on the Critical Complete Edition of the Works of Leos Janacek. New foreword ( Cz /Eng/Ger) by the editor Jarmila Prochazkova. Includes additional part for French Horn.

It has been prepared by two editors working at Portuguese and Spanishuniversities who are both leading scholars of the works of Cabezón and reflects the latest research findings.

Score and parts for Trio Sonata In G For Two Flutes And Basso Continuo by Johann Sebastian Bach.

Ouverture-In 1854 Verdi was in Paris to compose I vespri siciliani (1855) a commission from the Theatre of the Opera. The composer soon became intolerant to the requests of the French “Grand Opéra” as he considered them too restrictive and cunning. “I’ll be very happy when I have finished I vespri siciliani . An opera at the Opéra is as tiring as killing a bull. Five hours of music?…Hauf!” Verdi declared. Following the first performance the French composer Hector Berlioz wrote in the “Journal des Débats” an article that read “We have to admit that in I vespri siciliani the penetrating intensity of the melodic expression the sumptuous variety of theinstrumentation the fullness the poetical sonority of the whole the warm vivacity that shines everywhere and the passionate strength although slow in disclosing (a characteristic feature of Verdi’s talent) give the entire work a mark of greatness a sort of majestic sovereignty more underlined than in Verdi’s previous theatre productions.”
