Gruppo MontebelloAbout
The concept of arranging or rewriting music for other, usually smaller, ensembles has a long history, and it still exists today in many forms. Composers often arrange their own music or that of others, ranging from literal transcriptions to rather free versions, with additions and alterations. Well known examples from the past include Johann Sebastian Bach, who arranged his own works and music of other composers, and Johannes Brahms, who wrote viola versions of his sonatas for clarinet and piano. Henri Vieuxtemps wrote a solo viola part for Mozart's Clarinet Concerto, Igor Stravinsky and Arnold Schoenberg arranged their own compositions, often radically changing the instrumentation and the number of performers.
The celebrated composer of this compact disc, Ludwig van Beethoven, recomposed his Piano Sonata no.9, op.14 no.1, for string quartet, changing the key from E major to F major. He arranged his famous Septet, op.20 (for winds and strings) for piano trio, and allowed others to arrange the Second Symphony for piano trio and the Serenade, op.25 (written for flute, violin and viola) for viola and piano, or flute and piano.
