L'Arlesienne Suite No 2. Georges Bizet.

Original

L'Arlesienne Suite No. 2 composed by Georges Bizet. 1838-1875. Edited by Lesley A. Wright. For orchestra. This edition. ETP 829. New urtext edition. Scores. Eulenburg Taschenpartituren. Pocket Scores. In 1872 Bizet wrote the incidental music to Daudet's famous tragedy 'L'Arlesienne'. He had to tailor his composition to an orchestra of only 26 players, but these limited forces turned out to pose a stimulating challenge rather than an obstacle. Shortly a. Study score. Composed 1872. 120 pages. Published by Eulenburg Edition. SD.49010312. ISBN 9790200207248. The premiere of Daudet's play, "L'Arlesienne", with incidental music by Bizet, given at the Theatre du Vaudeville on 30 September 1872, was a devastating event for both playwright and composer and the production was removed from the repertory after 19 performances. The critic Johannes Weber, however, was alert to the quality of Bizet's score and suggested that the composer should excerpt and rescore several pieces for the Concerts populaires where 'the lovely music would be better appreciated than at the Vaudeville'. Bizet must have moved rather quickly to follow Weber's suggestion, for the premiere of the first Arlesienne suite took place only six weeks later at the Concerts populaires on 10 November 1872 and the work in its new abridged form was soon taken up by many other orchestras. Bizet, however, did not turn to preparing a second suite from L'Arlesienne. Some four years after Bizet's death, the success of the first suite may have prompted his original publisher to commission the arrangement of more excerpts from the Arlesienne MS from Bizet's good friend Ernest Guiraud who had earlier written recitatives and put together a ballet for Carmen.

Bizet ha d'haver mogut més ràpidament per seguir el suggeriment de Weber, per l'estrena de la primera suite Arlesienne va tenir lloc només sis setmanes després en els Concerts populaires el 10 de novembre 1872 e el treball en la seva nova forma abreujada aviat va ser ocupat per moltes altres orquestres. Bizet, however, did not turn to preparing a second suite from L'Arlesienne. Some four years after Bizet's death, the success of the first suite may have prompted his original publisher to commission the arrangement of more excerpts from the Arlesienne MS from Bizet's good friend Ernest Guiraud who had earlier written recitatives and put together a ballet for Carmen.
