The Quintet in F minor (Benton 277) is one of the works that we know was composed by 1786. His fascination with the textural clarity and simplicity of Italian music has been noted in connection with his string quartets and the quintets pursue a similar stylistic path. One of the striking features of the quintets is that the violins and violas are frequently deployed in pairs which creates interesting possibilities for antiphonal effects along with a denser texture in the middle of the ensemble. This set of quintets shows that Ignaz Pleyel’s works tend to be thematically dense rather than motivically dense.

Missa in D provides a fascinating illustration of the flexible approach to instrumentation that was such an integral part of professional performance in the eighteenth century. In the later eighteenth century there was a growing preference for more compact settings of the mass. One of the most attractive features of Hofmann’s masses is the frequent inclusion of concertato instruments. It was principally the employment of elaborate solo vocal parts that limited the dissemination of certain works is clear from the distribution patterns for two of Hofmann’s most elaborate mass settings [C2 and D3]. In the later eighteenth century there was a growing preference for more compact settings of the mass, one of many factors that led to the decline of the so-called cantata mass.

Saint-Georges, Joseph Bologne de (1745-1799)

Six Sonatas for the Violin (AE652)
Edited by Allan Badley
Score (Hardcopy): US$65.00 / Score (PDF): US$48.75
Score (Hardcopy): US$55.00 / Score (PDF): US$41.25

The Sonata is unusual in being written for violin with an accompaniment for violin rather than basso or keyboard. The two parts are not treated equally in the manner one might expect in a work composed for two identical instruments. The primo ‘solo’ part carries all of the material of melodic interest while the secondo part is relegated to an accompanying role with little or no motivic interplay with the primo part. With no requirement for a keyboard accompaniment, the portability of these sonatas would have made them ideal works for Saint-Georges to play during his vagabond existence in the years following his release from prison. The primo part, which at times exploits the violin’s highest tessitura as well as including passages that require great agility and technique to play, are strongly reminiscent of the solo concertos and symphonies.
