Beethoven's ten violin sonatas, time-honored favorites of violinists, pianists, and their audiences, reflect the great composer's determination to make the interrelationship between the violin and the piano a more intimate one, and to create a more even and intricate balance between the two instruments than had previously existed in the genre.

Songs of a Wayfarer (Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen), Mahler's first orchestral song cycle, is a strongly autobiographical work. Set to his own text, it is a revealing self-portrait of the young man in the agonies of love, and a work considered by many to be the masterpiece of Mahler's early period. The folklore idioms of Songs of the Wayfarer give way to the haunting musical imagery of Mahler's later style in the Kindertotenlieder (Songs of the Death of Children), the company's setting of five poems by Friedrich Rückert. Filled with the delicate counterpoint and luminous chromatic harmony of his last works, they reflect another compelling facet of Mahler's intense romanticism. These two deeply moving scores, both favorites of musical artists and their audiences today, are reprinted here from the original German editions. They will provide musicians and music lovers a lifetime of study and enjoyment of two of Mahler's masterly achievements for voice and orchestra.

Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus

Nicknamed the "Emperor" for its nobility and grandeur, Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 5 in E-flat major, Op. 73, was the composer's last piano concerto. Written in 1809, when Beethoven was 39, it ranks among the most popular concertos in the repertoire. Grove's Dictionary of Music and Musicians considers it one of the strongest works conceived by Beethoven, and by far the most "symphonic" of his concertos, from the "thunderous cadential celebration" of the very first bars to the brilliant rondo-finale. Reproduced here from an authoritative early edition, the score appears with bar-numbered movements. Ideal for study in the classroom, at home, or in the concert hall, this affordable, high-quality, conveniently sized volume will be the edition of choice for music students and music lovers alike.

Mendelssohn, Felix

A revolutionary force in twentieth-century music, Arnold Schoenberg moved progressively from lush, late Wagnerian chromaticism to a complete break with traditional tonality, making possible previously unimagined methods of composition and combinations of sounds. This edition of one of his most important orchestral works invites music devotees to retrace the first steps of the revolution he helped initiate. Possessing a soloistic texture and variations in instrumental color defined by Grove's as "chamber music for full orchestra," this work demonstrates the composer's daring explorations in music that renounces motivic connections as well as tonality. The groundbreaking Five Orchestral Pieces (1909) reproduced here from the authoritative C. F. Peters edition, appears with bar-numbered movements. Ideal for study in the classroom, at home, or in the concert hall, this affordable, high-quality, conveniently sized volume will be the edition of choice for musicians, music students, and music lovers alike.
