String orchestra
SKU: M7.KAE-783904
Composed by Joseph Bologne Chevalier de Saint-Georges. Edited by Allan Badley. Sheet music. Set of parts. 100 pages. MDS (Music Distribution Services) #KAE 783904. Published by MDS (Music Distribution Services) (M7.KAE-783904).
ISBN 9790674515207.
The string quartet holds pride of place in Bologne de Saint-Georges instrumental works, with three sets of six works each. With neat but surely unintentional symmetry these quartets include his first and last instrumental works, the Six quatuors à cordes, Op.1, and the Six Quatuors concertans, Op.15. The present quartets fall midway between these two publications. Composed in 1777 (according to Gabriel Banat, the best and most recent of Saint-Georges' biographers) the Six Quartetto concertans were issued two years later in a breathtakingly inaccurate edition by Durieu in Paris. Given the unusually high number of errors and inconsistencies in Durieu's edition it seems most unlikely that Saint-Georges was involved in its preparation. No other edition of the quartets is known although a second printing of the set using the same plates was made ca 1782. Quartet I in Bb majorQuartet II in G minorQuartet III in C majorQuartet IV in F majorQuartet V in G majorQuartet VI in Bb major.
