The last of Beethoven's middle period string quartets, the String Quartet No. 11 in F minor, Opus 95, represents a departure for Beethoven. The work, which became known as the "Serioso" quartet after Beethoven's initial tempo marking of "Quartetto Serioso," was marked on the autograph as being completed in October 1810, but did not receive a first performance until 1814. Beethoven was quoted as saying the work was never intended for public performance. Throughout the quartet, Beethoven experiments with new techniques that he had not used in previous quartets, with silences and unusual tonality for a sonata form work. This is the Performer's Edition Pocket Score of the work, designed for easy transport in a case or compact carrying for study of the work.

Dubois' oratorio was given its premiere on Good Friday (April 19), 1867 at glise de la Madeleine in Paris under the composer's direction. Although first published in 1886 by Georges Hartmann of Paris, the vocal score presented here is a digitally enhanced reprint of the one first produced in 1899 by G. Schirmer of New York, with an English translation beneath the original Latin text by Theodore Baker (1851-1934).

"I am sure harpists throughout the world will love to read this inspiring account of Henriette Renie's life as seen through the eyes of one of her oldest and dearest friends and former students. Available now in this fine English edition prepared with devotion by Jaymee Haefner, this small volume gives the reader a glimpse of the heart and soul of this great harpist and pedagogue." Susann McDonald ----- "This is truly one of the finest and most detailed compilations of Renie's life in existence today. It has always been sad to me that Mlle Renie did not receive the tributes via the media that she so truly deserved, probably because of the time in which she lived. For Carlos Salzedo to say, 'Mlle Renie is higher above all harpists than the heavens above the earth' is very profound. It is so helpful to the harp world to have the information provided in this book and I will encourage all my students and friends to read it. This book represents many hours and years of careful research and devotion to an important cause." Linda Wood Rollo ----- "Henriette Renie was one of the most inspirational harpists in history. She set a standard of excellence that harpists for generations will aspire to. This thorough and comprehensive look at Renie's life and achievements is a treasure, containing information that is imperative to all harpists." Dr. Carrol McLaughlin ----- "The Legend of Henriette Renie is the most extensive resource currently available on the life of this significant artist in the history of the harp whose life reflected, intersected, and influenced many of the artistic and cultural trends in late nineteenth to early-mid-twentieth century France. It is an immeasurable contribution to the harp world and to those who are interested in learning about a person who profoundly affected her chosen profession yet also reflected the cultural and social restrictions of her time." Dr. Ann Yeung ----- "There are so few harpists in the world that each of the great ones leaves an identifiable imprint. Renie has had a far reaching effect on the world of the harp, and the opportunity to learn about her life and philosophy should be part of the education of every serious harpist. She also has much to offer those who consider the place of faith in everyday life." Anna Vorhes
