Study Score: Beethoven - Sextet in E-flat Major, Op. 81b - Book Study Score Edition (7" x 10") - 2 Horns, 2 Violins, Viola and Bass Series: Henle Urtext Study Scores Instrument: Orchestra Media: Book Composer: Ludwig van Beethoven Editor: Egon Voss Publisher: G. Henle Verlag It is hardly surprising that Beethoven did not write any more chamber music for winds after 1800. Following the change to middle-class musical culture, demand declined for buoyant serenades and divertimenti intended for court circles – a genre that Beethoven had reservations about as it was. Composed in 1795 with no known occasion in mind, his Sextet op. 81b is thus all the more remarkable, standing out on account of the unusual virtuosity of the horn parts. Our edition is the first to provide the bass part as originally intended by Beethoven: for violoncello supported by a double bass. In addition to the original horn parts in E flat, it also contains transposed parts in F. STUDY SCORE: The "study score" is a compact version of the Urtext edition that is more suitable for reading and studying than for performance. Width: 6.75" Length: 9.5" 40 pages
