The professor of music theory at the New Vienna Conservatory wrote the exciting String Quintet in A minor around 1909. It is a masterpiece of late Romanticism in four movements that range from light-hearted, cheerful and playful to turbulent. It leaves a very strong impression. We recommend it to all (semi)-professional string quintets.

The editor Michael Goldbach has carefully edited the work according to the source (Austrian National Library): With a preface and a revision report.

The sacred music of Mel Bonis (1858–1937) or elevation through music Mel Bonis, pseudonym for Mélanie Bonis (1858–1937), was one of the few French composers of her time who left posterity an extensive musical work. The Parisian from a modest middle-class background attended the conservatory in the same classes as Debussy and Pierné. Her teachers, Ernest Guiraud and Louis Auguste Bazille in the harmony, piano accompaniment and composition classes, praised her highly. She attended César Franck’s organ lessons as a guest student. “She was so good at Gregorian chant that she was presented as an example to foreign students who sometimes attended the lessons.” A complete edition of Mel Bonis’s sacred music has now been published in five volumes by Furore Verlag: motets for four-part mixed choir, motets for two- and three-part choir, mass, Cantique de Jean Racine, sacred and Christmas songs.

Emilie Mayer: Sonate for flute and piano

“Composed in Romantic style, there is a clear influence of Beethoven in the
writing, and the piano part features rich chords and textual variation.
The score and part are well presented with careful placement
of page turns. This is a useful addition to the flute’s Romantic
repertoire, which would be ideal for students making their first
steps into relatively large-scale works from this era.”
