Special Offer (August 2006) New Music from BärenreiterEver since its foundation, the House of Bärenreiter has taken a special interest in publishing contemporary music and promoting new composers. In its early years, they concentrated on composers committed to new sacred works in the spirit of the German youth movement ("Singbewegung"). The most prominent of these composers was Hugo Distler. In the fifties, however, the spectrum broadened to encompass the so-called "avantgarde" and Bärenreiter extended its activities to all the standard genres and scorings of contemporary music, from solo instrumental pieces to opera. Today the Bärenreiter catalogue features prominent twentieth-century composers such as Günter Bialas, Beat Furrer, Klaus Huber, Nicolaus A. Huber, Rudolf Kelterborn, Giselher Klebe, Ernst Krenek, Frank Martin, Bohuslav Martinu, Giacinto Scelsi, Manfred Trojahn and Bernd Alois Zimmermann. Moreover, the House of Bärenreiter makes a point of supporting promising young composers like Vadim Karassikov, Andrea Lorenzo Scartazzini, Charlotte Seither and Matthias Pintscher, who are some of the best-known and most striking figures of their generation. HARRASSOWITZ has compiled the following list with some interesting editions of young Bärenreiter composers. Please note that in future scores by these composers will come on your approval plan, if your profile includes category 1 of our contemporary composers' list (Matthias Pintscher), or category 2 (Charlotte Seither), or category 3 (Vadim Karassikov). Composers not assigned to a category yet (Andrea Lorenzo Scartazzini) will be covered on the most comprehensive approval plans only.
