Venanzio Rauzzini (1746-1810), the celebrated Italian castrato, is best known for his performance in Mozart's Lucio Silla in 1772, with which Mozart was so pleased that he composed for the singer the famous motet Exsultate Jubilate.

Euryanthe Overture, J.291: Study score
ISBN: 9781608741618 / Angielski / Miękka / 50 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Widely considered a grand, heroic, romantic opera and one of Weber's finest, "Euryanthe" is unfortunately rarely performed because of its weak libretto and plot's implausibilty. Such defects don't apply to instrumental works thankfully, and the overture - which contains some of the best music in the opera - has become a worldwide concert favorite. As with Weber's other opera overtures the themes are closely linked to the opera and perfectly capture the mood and tone of the entire work. This newly engraved edition by Richard W. Sargeant, Jr. has been meticulously researched and shows the...

Piano Concerto, Op.33 / B.63: Study score
ISBN: 9781608741762 / Angielski / Miękka / 262 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Composed in the late summer of 1876, Dvoraks first effort at a full-blown concerto shows signs of an unusual amount of revision in the composers hand - especially for the solo piano part. This might explain the delay in the concertos premiere, which was given at the Provisional Theatre in Prague on March 24, 1878 with Karel Slavkovsky as soloist accompanied by the Provisional Theatre Orchestra under the baton of Adolf Cech. The composer himself wrote: "I see I am unable to write a Concerto for a virtuoso; I must think of other things."
The ungainly solo part no doubt also played a role in... Composed in the late summer of 1876, Dvoraks first effort at a full-blown concerto shows signs of an unusual amount of revision in the composers hand ...

It received its premiere ar the Provisional Theatre in Prague on May 16, 1879 with the theatre orchestra conducted by Adolf Cech, with Dvorak conducting it himself the next year to raise...
