Hi,

This post is about the recent release in sheet music of the Editions du Centre de Musique Baroque de Versailles of the Piano quartet (for piano, 2 violins and cello) opus 14 by Henri-Joseph Rigel.

Rigel was one of the most innovative composers of instrumental music in the late 18th century in France, especially in his beautiful symphonies.

These lovely piano quartets, of moderate difficulty, balance the playing of all instruments. The musical forces required will interest chamber music players in particular: the work was originally composed in 1778, the same year than Mozart was twice in Paris when he was 20.

Find more information on the website of the publisher (http://editions.cmbv.fr), extracts of the music, prices and much more...
