Beethoven's nine symphonies, composed over a period of around 25 years between 1799 and 1824, were already regarded as his musical legacy soon after his death. The composer explores the entire spectrum of the genre, finding in each work new solutions for the fundamental problem of how to find the right balance between motivic unity and distinctive characters for each movement. What proved pioneering was how he made the symphony a prolific vehicle for developing musical ideas, ranging from the heroic, the sublime, or the emotions of country life, culminating in the appeal to fraternity in the choral finale to the Ninth. Now Beethoven's symphonies are available in nine handy study editions, based on the musical text of reference from the Beethoven Complete Edition and collected in a practical slipcase. A wonderful gift for every devotee of the great Viennese master, at an attractive price!

The genesis of the Fourth Symphony possibly goes back to the 1870s when Brahms was studying the Bach Cantata “Nach dir, Herr, verlanget mich,” whose chaconne theme forms the nucleus of the finale. Around 29 August 1885 Brahms wrote to Hans von Bülow from Mürzzuschlag in Styria: “However I have a few entr'acts – which together form what one would usually call a symphony. [...] I am afraid [...], it takes after the climate in this region – the cherries do not ripen here.” Yet we are by no means speaking of “sour” cherries here. The work is today a part of the canon of classical-romantic symphonies. Our handy and inexpensive priced study edition is based on the musical text in the Johannes Brahms Complete Edition (HN 6015).

This suite was made by Prokofieff from the score of his third ballet for Diaghilev. Gerard McBurney comments that the ballet was “a highly entertaining product of that 1920s fashion for making art about the brave new world of machines and heavy industry and strong-muscled men engaged in hard labour. For good measure Prokofieff and his collaborators threw in a light-hearted sub-plot as well, about a sailor and his girl. The result is one of his most poster-paint scores, filled with bright and brittle imagery, breezy optimism and pulsing motor-rhythms.” When Prokofieff extracted the symphonic suite he cut and reordered the material and altered quite a few passages, to give the piece more of a symphonic feel and make it more effective in the concert hall. He ends the suite with the most exciting and original music in the score, an apotheosis of the life and sounds of an early 20th-century factory. He makes marvellous use of the orchestra to describe the humming and whirring of machinery, complete with spinning cogs and flywheels and the thunder of hammers and chains.
