QUINTET in Bb major Op.56 No.1 (score & parts)

From the publisher's website:
"The Wind Quintet Op.56 No.1 in B flat Major is the first of a set of three such works. Very few composers had written wind quintets before him. Anton Reicha published his first set of six in 1817. They turned out to be tremendously popular. Danzi followed suit with his Op.56 in 1821 dedicating them to Reicha who was then living in Paris. Danzi with an eye for the marketplace lavished his gift for attractive melodies upon these works. But unlike Reicha whose parts often demanded players of a very high technical caliber, Danzi’s were written for Everyman and are technically undemanding. But he did follow Reicha’s practice of treating all of the voices as equals. The opening Allegretto is genial and playful. The following Andante con moto is reflective and at times lyrical and with a touch of mystery. The lively Menuetto is followed by a trio section in which each of the instruments respond to the voice which has come just before in what seems like a series of short duets. The finale is a bouncing rondo, an Allegretto in 6/8 which speeds along effortlessly.
Our edition is based on the original Schlesinger Paris edition of 1821, however, we have entirely reset the work, added rehearsal numbers and corrected mistakes. This is a tuneful work which should be enjoyed by quintet groups be they professional or amateur."
