With the new Urtext Primo series, the Wiener Urtext Edition wants to close the gap arising at the point of transition to additional lessons after having studied a piano method. Beginning with a performance level which is outlined by pieces such as Bach's Minuet in G (BWV Anh. 116), Mozart's Minuet in F (KV 5) or Schumann's Wilder Reiter (Op. 68/8), works by three different composers are selected for each volume of the Urtext Primo series, with the aim of offering piano pupils (or even adults who want to resume piano playing) a wide range of repertoire pieces on the basis of which they can enhance their technical and musical skills. The pieces' range of levels of difficulty is relatively narrow so that the volume can be used continuously over a period of about two years. This is what distinguishes the Urtext Primo approach from almost all common anthologies. The selected repertoire takes into account not only pieces of the classic canon of lessons, but also lesser known works which are in no way of less importance for piano lessons. The Urtext Primo volumes are published in the internationally recognised standard of the Wiener Urtext editions. The explanations included in each volume shall help to deepen the knowledge of musical styles, music history and piano playing. A repertoire chart at the end of each volume gives a rough overview of the levels of difficulty of the selected pieces.Volume 4 combines works of the German Romanticism by Schumann, Brahms and Theodor Kirchner. Apart from well known pieces from Schumann's 'Album for the Youth' and the easiest waltzes from opus 39 (in the easier version) by Brahms, the selection contains the attractive set of variations from Schumann's first Youth Sonata Op. 118/1 and Brahms' Saraband in A minor WoO 5/1 as well as a number of pleasant pieces by Theodor Kirchner which continue the tonal air of Schumann and Brahms in easy playable pieces. / Piano

Par KIRCHNER THEODOR. Die 'neueren' Meister, in deren Werke er mit seinen Studien einführen will, sind in erster Linie Schumann, Brahms und Wagner. Die Anklänge sind hörbar und es bereitet Freude, die Quellen der Inspiration nachzuspüren. Kirchners Studien op. 106, in welchem er sich mit den 'Neuerungen' in der Klavierliteratur kritisch und didaktisch auseinandersetzt, sind feinzisilierte Bagatellen, mit denen er seine melodische Erfindungskraft noch mal beschwört. / Niveau : Préparatoire / Répertoire / Piano

Leon Kirchner’s highly original song cycle for Soprano Voice and Piano The Twilight Stood consists of 6 songs based on 6 poems by Emily Dickinson: The Auctioneer He Scanned It The Cricket Sang Partake as Doth the Bee Much Madness and There Came a Wind. The cycle is 13 minutes of pure Kirchner very chromatic linear and frequently featuring irregularrhythms creating a truly unique haunting atmosphere. Intended for advanced (Grade 8+) soloists this piece is extremely challenging but rewarding at the same time.Leon Kirchner was an American composer ofcontemporary classical music. Kirchner's musical style is generally linear chromatic rhapsodic and rhythmically irregular; it is influenced by Schoenberg but does not employ the twelve-tone technique.

Kirchner a volatile seeker after truth became as a composer a master of transient visions. His importance lies in his piano music. His work com-prises about a thousand individual pieces. Schumann his revered and adored friend proved initially to be an overpowering idol and Kirchner gave his works titles like ?Neue Davidsbündlertänze? ?Neue Kinderscener?. Subsequently other highly idiosyncratic titles reveal more about the special characteristics of his own style. ?Federzeichnungen? (Pen and Ink Sketches) and ?Im Zwielicht? (In the Gloaming) point to a life between two worlds and show a fragility which gives Kirchner?s works their own particular charm. Thetwo volumes of the ?Neue Albumblätter? (New Albumleaves) are witness to this fragile world. These transient sketches move in the lower dynamic range. Modulations shifting chords and enharmonic changes lead the listener astray; formal expectations are disappointed. Our edition is based on the original two volumes published by Augener in 1880 and reissued by Schott in 1911 under a new title.
