Written in 1815, the two Sonatas op. 102 mark the transition to the often austere sonorities of Beethoven's late style. One reviewer of the original edition noted in 1818 that they 'doubtless number a...

When Dvořák wrote his Serenade for 10 winds and 2 lower strings in January 1878, the heyday of the great wind serenades and 'Harmoniemusik' wind ensembles was already long gone. He was probably inspir...

Brahms had in fact wanted to stop composing in 1890, but his encounter with the clarinettist Richard Mühlfeld inspired him so much that he produced several works in a row for him over a brief period o...

When it comes to flute music of the Baroque era, the works of Bach and Handel are unsurpassed in musical stature as well as in recognition and popularity, and thus it is easy to overlook the fact that...

The fact that the three so-called 'Hallenser' Sonatas do not all date from Handel's youth in Halle does not adversely affect their popularity. Since only very little is known about them, and because c...
