Capriccio romantico op.129. Work for cello (or viola) and piano, commissioned by the "Sommets Musicaux de Gstaad" Festival ? Adagio liberamente, Allegro moderato

Brahms completed his Cello Sonata op. 99 during the productive summer of 1886. The first public performance took place in Vienna on 24 November of the same year. Robert Hausmann played the cello part and the composer himself was his partner at the piano. Even though the work was generally received positively, it took some years until it was fully appreciated and gained its irrevocable place in the cello repertoire.Of particular value to the editors were the two early performance editions of the Cello Sonata op. 99 by Hugo Becker and Carl Friedberg, as well as by Julius Klengel. Both cellists, Becker and Klengel, had a connection to Brahms who very much admired and trusted Becker's playing and who performed together with Klengel. This edition not only incorporates Becker's and Klengel's performance markings but also Hausmann's for whom the piece was written. As such, the Barenreiter edition comes with a cello part marked with fingering and bowing by the editors which are based on the practices of Brahms' contemporaries. We also provide an unmarked Urtext part.An important part of this edition is the extensive Preface. Firstly it informs about the work's origin, early performances, its publication as well as early reception. Truly remarkable is the unique Performance Practice Commentary. Here the editors take the premise that already a few decades after Brahms' death, a widening gulf developed between the composer's expectations and the performance practices of the early 20th century. In a very concrete and practical way, the editors summarize some of the key issues in understanding Brahms' notation with regard to rhythm and timing, dynamics and accentuation, dots and strokes, slurring and non legato, piano pedalling and overholding, piano arpeggiation and dislocation, string instrument fingering, string instrument harmonics and vibrato. In this way, the edition offers an exciting and often surprising insight into Romantic musical interpretation.- A pioneering Urtext edition- With an unmarked Urtext part- With a second part including fingering and bowing based on the practices of contemporaries of Brahms- With an extensive Performance Practice Commentary- For further information on Romantic performance practice we recommend the text booklet: 'Performance Practices in Johannes Brahms' Chamber Music?, BA 9600 / Violoncelle Et Piano

Written in just two days in February 1849, Robert Schumann's Fantasy Pieces Op. 73 were first performed by his wife Clara and the clarinettist Johann Gottlieb Kotte. Initially entitled Soirée Pieces, the composer later had the works published under the name of Fantasy Pieces, thus establishing a connection with poetical aspects. The first edition published in July 1849 contained not only a clarinet part but also a violin and cello part. Since then, they have become an integral part of the Romantic repertoire for cello and piano. This edition is based on the text of the first edition as well as on subsequent corrections from Schumann's personal copy, with the extant composition manuscript serving as an important corrective. / Violoncelle Et Piano

for Pianoforte and Violoncello-Famous in his day the Austrian composer and pianist Johann Nepomuk Hummel (1778 1837) studied with Mozart and befriended Beethoven. Among his many works is a relatively late sonata for Violoncello and Piano composed in 1824 and published in 1826 a delightful early Romantic piece in three movements supported by a capricious Piano part. The expressive Cello cantilena in the Romance will capture the heart of every cellist.Our edition edited by Mark Kroll is the first scholarly-critical publication of this sonata.

It is scored in four movements: AllegroAssai Vivace - Allegretto Scherzando - Adagio - Molto Allegro E Vivace. It is heavily influenced by Bach borrowing elements of both structure and melody from some of Bach’s works. This Urtext edition ispublished by Henle Verlag.

Koanga - La Calinda-The Creole Dance La Calinda from Koanga arranged for Cello and Piano by Christopher Palmer. Delius’ romantic third opera Koanga produced a number of interesting pieces infused with sensuality and notable for its nostalgic and folkish languor. Fenby’s orchestral arrangement was a stripped down affair and it is this version that is most performed and recorded and forms the basis of Palmer’s arrangement.

Franz Schubert (1797-1828) was an Austrian composer working in the early Romantic era. His ever-popular Ave Maria was composed in 1825 as No.6 of his Op. 52 a setting of seven songs from Sir WalterScott?s epic poem The Lady Of The Lake. The text came from a part of the poem called Ellen?s Song.The melody has been re-used many times and is often set to the Catholic Prayer that starts with the samephrase (?Hail Mary? in English). Most memorably it was adapted by Walt Disney for his 1940 film Fantasia. It has been transcribed here for Cello and Piano by the Italian cellist Alfredo Piatti as one of his ThreeMelodies.
