General Information

Navigation etc.

Actually, as Caprotti points out and also see here, this may be the posthumously published opus 28 quartet of _Anton_ Halm (notice that the score and parts do not say...!) - a composer who lived from 1789 to 1872 and who we have as an editor (LinkEd) though not with his own page. August Halm did, I think, compose some quartets and other chamber music of his own according to HMB (unless those also were by Anton Halm and they too were inserting "August" for "A." - it happens- though I think HMB has usually at most times been pretty good about just reporting what the score says- I think... and not editorially inserting names that might be mistaken guesses)...

Libraries (eg BSB) do list this as a work by August Halm, but I don't know on what basis- the score and parts have only "A. Halm". (Indeed I don't know on what basis Klassika decides this is by Anton Halm either, or the addition of opus 28. In all there seems some confusion here; assuming it is one or the other without some evidence seems arbitrary. Stylistically it might be either, as they were both conservative, August Halm rather Brucknerian and Romantic even in his works (e.g. the recorded Symphony in A, 1911-1924) from decades after Bruckner's last- lacking more detailed stylistic evidence; is this similar to August Halm or Anton Halm's other works?

A Boston symphony program note for the D minor symphony (first US performance, I assume, April 22/23 1910 concert) mentions this work among his few published compositions, and Lauterbach & Kuhn as the publisher. May I assume the composer was perhaps consulted before that, as he was at least alive at the time? Maybe consulted, maybe not...

I write my doctoral thesis about Halm and I can confirm, that this B-Major Quartet is definitely written by August Halm. Last week I studied the Autograph for my catalogue of all works Halm composed. The Manuscrip is in Tübingen (August Halm-Archiv am Musikwissenschaftlichen Institut der Universität Tübingen). Mr Carotti is definitely wrong. In fact Halm composed three String Quartets in B-Major. One in 1894 (unpublished), one in 1902/03 (published in 1903) and one composed in the 1920s, published in 1926 (Bärenreiter).

I wrote to Classica, that they should change it.

Halms A-Major Symphony has not much in common with Bruckner. Halm write in a letter, that it is mote Schubert in it than Bruckner. His F-Major Symphony (premiered 25.01.1911 in Ulm) has more in common with Bruckner.

The first performance of Halms d-minor Symphony was in Stuttgart, Halms gave this worl the name "Stuttgarter Sinfonie" because it was first played there in 14.03.1907. under Karl Pohlig.
