Four sonate a quattro This set of four works, all in minor keys, is unique for the energy of the fugal writing, the passionate chromaticism of the slow movements and the playful, asymmetrical phrasing of the final Minuets. The scoring leaves open a range of performance possibilities, from one to a part with or without […]

→ Piano concerto in C major K503 (Klavier)
Piano concerto in C major K503 Any performer of Mozart’s piano concertos must have wondered how those sparsely notated sections would have been realized at the time. No one is better placed to provide an answer than the composer’s own pupil Johann Nepomuk Hummel. The present edition includes a separate piano part, in addition to […]

Any performer of Mozart’s piano concertos must have wondered how the sparsely notated sections would have been […]
→ Hoamat (Sinfonieorchester)
Hoamat Hoamat ? the Bavarian pronunciation of the word ‚Heimat‘ (Home) ? was commissioned by the Municipal Music School in the city of Burghausen for their ‚Lokalklang‘ festival. The ten movements make use of a rich variety of ensembles. They are playable by non-professional musicians and, as the first performance proved, can be hugely enjoyable […]
→ An Interior Monologue (Viola)
An Interior Monologue Inspired by American poet Clayton Eshleman’s reflections on the drawings of Henri Michaux, Nirmali Fenn creates a subdued yet highly expressive sound world in her latest work. The solo viola’s open strings, of which the top and bottom are detuned, trapping the music within a tritone pair, act like outer voices, as […]
→ Cambridge' Sonata No. 12 (Violine)
Cambridge' Sonata No. 12 The twelfth sonata, in four movements, makes a fitting climax to the set. Its first movement (Vivace) is somewhat corrente-like, with delicately traced passage-work. The Andante that follows is distinguished by some interesting harmonic turns. An extended gavotte-like theme with two captivating variations makes up the third movement. The sonata ends […]
→ Cambridge' Sonata No. 11 (Violine)
Cambridge' Sonata No. 11 The eleventh sonata, in five movements, is one of the most elaborate in the set. Its first movement (A tempo giusto) is very ornate and makes attractive use of syncopation. The second movement (Vivace) is good-humoured and alludes slyly to academic counterpoint. There follow two movements resembling, respectively, a sarabanda and […]
→ Odi profanum vulgus et arceo (Streichensemble)
Odi profanum vulgus et arceo The main movements, introitus and gradual, have distinctive central ideas – the manic string-crossing chaos of the first and the rather more introspective and mellifluous material of the second. Both movements are, in essence, dramatic and the performance should be as energetic and physical as possible. Noten für: Streichensemble Notenverlag: […]
→ Cambridge Sonata No. 3 (Violine)
Cambridge Sonata No. 3 The twelve ‚Cambridge‘ sonatas, presented to Cardinal Ottoboni, represent the ‚late‘, galant Bitti, full of lovingly sculpted ornamental detail for the violin but with the same resourceful harmony and perfectly proportioned forms as before. The third sonata of the group, in four movements, is a radically updated new version of the […]
→ Cambridge Sonata No. 2 (Violine)
Cambridge Sonata No. 2 The twelve ‚Cambridge‘ sonatas, presented to Cardinal Ottoboni, represent the ‚late‘, galant Bitti, full of lovingly sculpted ornamental detail for the violin but with the same resourceful harmony and perfectly proportioned forms as before. The second sonata of the group is in the classic sonata da camera mould, following an introductory […]

→ Touches (Klavier)
Touches The composer stresses that the two pianists can only realize the symmetrical structures through cooperation. They must be travelling in agreement along the same path. An extremely important work from a uniquely powerful composer. Noten für: Klavier Notenverlag: Edition HH Limited MDS-HH34 Noten Informationen und Preis: Touches
→ Dresden Sonata No. 4 (Violine)
Dresden Sonata No. 4 This A major sonata could be regarded as a summation of Bitti’s craft as a composer of violin sonatas. It is also a sonata that comes particularly close to Corelli’s musical language. A long, eloquent Grave leads to a strenuous double-stopped fugue, and this pair of movements is then followed by […]
→ Dresden Sonata No. 3 (Violine)
Dresden Sonata No. 3 This expressive four-movement sonata in G minor opens with an Adagio in the style of a slow cantata aria, complete with an introductory ritornello for the continuo. There follow an Allegro in perpetuum mobile style, an Adagio with much double- and triple-stopping for the violin and a powerful fugue demonstrating the […]
