The early sonatas. Par SCHUBERT FRANZ. Schubert was visibly adventurous in his early piano sonatas, as is apparent in their wide-ranging key schemes, diverging versions of many movements or entire sonatas, and numerous works left incomplete. This revised Urtext edition contains the sonatas he composed between 1815 and 1817. An updated preface and valuable notes on central questions of performance practice (e.g. articulation, pedalling and embellishments), with a special emphasis on his idiosyncratic treatment of accent-like diminuendo hairpins, form a useful introduction to the sonatas. Schubert?s drafts and fragments can be accessed on the Bärenreiter website. - Urtext edition based on the ?New Schubert Edition?, with drafts and fragments accessible on the Bärenreiter website (see BA 9642: Extras) - Reader-friendly engraving with practical page-turns and running titles to facilitate the location of sonatas and movements - Valuable notes on performance practice in Schubert?s day (Ger/Eng) - Critical Commentary with readings relevant to performance, especially regarding Schubert?s notation of accents (Eng) / Date parution : 2022-07-30/ Recueil / Piano

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), each volume contains works by three different composers, 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. In contrast to conventional piano anthologies, 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. 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 explanations included at the end of 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.After Vol. 1 with works by Bach, Handel and Scarlatti and Vol. 2 with compositions by Haydn, Mozart and Cimarosa, Vol. 3 contains pieces by Beethoven, Schubert und Hummel, including popular pieces such as Beethoven's 'Für Elise' and lesser known, yet stimulating settings by Johann Nepomuk Hummel. / Piano

New Liszt Edition III Vol. 1. Par LISZT FRANZ. Composed in 1834, Liszt's Grand duo is based on material from three pieces from the first book (op. 19b) of Mendelssohn's Songs without Words (no. 1 in E major, no. 6 in G minor, and no. 3 in A major). While Liszt made an almost literal transcription of the first piece, he gave the second and third pieces a much freer arrangement, in the style of concert paraphrases. The large-scale concert piece was premiered by Liszt and Chopin on Christmas Day 1834 in a salon in Paris. The Grand duo was not published in Liszt's lifetime, and has survived as a draft. Schubert's Fantasy in C major (also known as the 'Wanderer' Fantasy) was a defining musical experience for the young Liszt. He arranged this masterpiece of Romantic piano literature for piano and orchestra in 1851, at the beginning of his Weimar period, and it was premiered by Julius Egghard in Vienna in December of that year. By 1855, Liszt had transcribed this arrangement for two pianos, because it was played on 22 October 1855 at a concert held in Weimar in honour of his birthday. With the version for piano and orchestra, Liszt attuned the fantasy to the requirements of the concert hall, reinforcing the orchestral effects inherent in Schubert's composition. His aim with the two-piano version was to achieve a similarly grand effect in spaces too small for an orchestra. The arrangement for piano and orchestra appeared in print in 1857, followed by the two-piano version in 1862. This volume comes complete with a detailed preface in English, German, and Hungarian containing new research findings, several manuscript facsimiles, and a critical report in English. / Date parution : 2023-03-11/ Répertoire / 2 Pianos

Par SCHUBERT FRANZ. Tout jeune violoniste connaît les sonatines de Schubert pour violon et piano. Le titre de sona-tines remonte à l’édition posthume de 1836, Schubert lui-même les désignait par le terme de «sonates». La forme diminutive fut choisie sans doute parce que ces pièces ne sont en effet pas très difficiles, mais peut-être aussi pour des raisons commerciales. Leurs mélodies typi-quement schubertiennes et leur vivacité en font des oeuvres pour piano et violon particulière-ment appréciées qui ont toujours été un bestseller du catalogue des éditions Henle (sous l’«ancien» numéro d’édition: HN 6). Schubert les composa en 1816, c’est-à-dire à l’âge de 19 ans. La première édition diffèreparfois de manière assez importante du manuscrit autographe qui a été conservé fort heureusement dans sa totalité, hormis le finale de la 2e sonatine. La première édition a donc été utilisée comme source pour ce mouvement final. / Partition brochée / Répertoire / Violon et Piano

Edited from the sources by Jochen Reutter-Franz Schubert's scherzos were right at the beginning of a development that in the course of the 19th century resulted in the separation of the scherzo from the sonata and its emancipation as an independent Piano piece. These traces become apparent in the three pieces compiled in this volume: the two popular Scherzos in B flat major and D flat major (D 593) and the Scherzo in D major (D 570) which has survived together with an allegro fragment in the composer's autograph. With its pleasantly flowing melody its typically Schubertian harmony and the modest technical demands this piece might soon outrank its well-known sister work in B flat major.

Par SCHUBERT FRANZ. L'impromptu est une composition instrumentale, censée écrite 'in promptu', improvisée. Le terme impromptu apparaît pour la première fois dans les oeuvres de Jan Vaclac (Hugo) Vôrisek (1791-1825, les Impromptus Opus 7 publiés en 1822). Schubert reprend ce titre et nous présente des Pièces de caractère lyrique très structurées: D935/1 Mouvement de forme Sonate très libre - D 935 / 2 Menuet un peu lent entrecoupé d'un Trio agité - D 935 / 3 Variations sur le Thème de l'entracte du 4o acte de la Musique de Scène de Rosamunde - D 933 / 4 Danse endiablée inspirée de l'Europe Centrale. De Schubert, Schumann écrivait 'Il a des sons pour les impressions les plus délicates, les pensées, même pour les différentes situations de l'existence. Quelque nombreux que soient les pensées et les efforts de l'homme, la musique de Schubert répond à toutes ces diversités' Schubert, musicien de l'âme, de l'amour, des clairs-obscurs. Les manuscrits autographes et Editions originales disponibles à ce jour, nous ont permis de réaliser un texte qui répond fidèlement aux intentions du compositeur. Schubert a souvent noté incomplètement les liaisons: nous avons rétabli les omissions du compositeur, elles paraissent entre parenthèses. Il en est de même pour certaines accentuations (points, tirets, accents, etc.). En bas de page sont conseillées certaines interprétations d'ornements (grupetto, appogiatures, etc.). / Niveau : Elémentaire / classique / Répertoire / Piano

In autumn 1827 Schubert composed eight 'Impromptus' for publication as a complete collection by Haslinger in Vienna. When the plan fell through Schubert offered his 'Impromptus' to Schott as pieces which 'could be issued individually or all four together'. The name of the works probably originated from the publisher Haslinger and Schubert also used it for his collection published later as op. posth. 142. The lyrical-romantic works are suitable for advanced piano students and have the character of sonata movements. Robert Schumann who regarded them as parts of a four-movement sonata drew attention to the second collection published by Diabelli in 1839 in hisreview.For the first time this scholarly-critical Urtext edition presents the musical text of the 'New Schubert Edition' in new engraving and with optimum page-turns.

Schubert composed his great Piano Sonata in A major just a few months before his untimely death in 1828. The balance this work strikes between lyrical melody, emotional intimacy and pianistic brilliance makes it a highlight among his sonatas, not least because of its poetic 'Andantino?.This scholarly-critical edition by Walburga Litschauer is based on the Urtext of the 'New Schubert Edition? and uses the autograph manuscript as the prime source. The edition is rounded off by a new foreword, valuable notes on performance practice as well as a Critical Commentary with information on performance-relevant alternative readings and Schubert's notation of accents.Schubert's drafts of the A major Sonata can be accessed on Bärenreiter's website.- Edited on the basis of the 'New Schubert Edition?- Newly engraved scholarly-critical performing edition- Notes on performance practice (Ger/Eng)- Access to Schubert's drafts on the Bärenreiter website- New foreword (Ger/Eng) and a Critical Commentary (Eng) / Piano

The Fantasie in C major Op. 15 popularly known as the Wanderer Fantasy is a four-movement fantasy for solo Piano composed by Franz Schubert?in 1822. The whole work is based on one single basic motive from the lied ?The Wanderer? and the four movements are played without a break.?It is widely considered to be?Schubert's most technically demanding composition for the Piano. Schubert?himself said 'the devil may play it ' in reference to his own inability to do so properly. It is the perfect challenge for any proficient pianist and the effort will be appreciated byaudiences upon hearing this marvellous piece!Franz Schubert?was an Austrian composer who was extremely prolific during his short?lifetime(he died at the age of 31). His output consists of over six hundred secular vocal works seven complete symphonies sacred music operas incidental music and a large body of chamber and Piano music. Today?Schubert?is ranked among the greatest composers of the late Classical era and early Romantic era and is one of the most frequently performed composers of the early nineteenth century.

Following the newly engraved publications of Schubert?s ?Moments Musicaux? (BA 9647) and ?Impromptus? (BA 9648), the composer?s late piano works are now to be published in a scholarly-critical Urtext edition that will meet the demands of today?s performers. Schubert?s popular ?Ungarische Melodie? D 817, inspired by gypsy melodies, was composed in 1824; his ?Allegretto in C minor? D 915 was written in the spring of 1827; a little later, at the latest in 1828, he also wrote his ?Drei Klavierstücke? D 94, which are closely related in form to his ?Moments Musicaux?.'

Urtext Edition-Les deux trios avec piano de Schubert peuvent indubitablement être comptés au nombre de ses ?uvres les meilleures. Composés tous les deux en 1827 c?est-à-dire un an avant sa mort ce sont des ?uvres caractéristiques de sa maturité riches d?une grande invention mélodique alliée à une forte puissance créatrice formelle et une profonde expressivité. Si le trio en Mi bé-mol majeur op. 100 D 929 fut vendu à l?éditeur de Leipzig Probst (il ne parut cependant que juste après la mort de Schubert) le trio en Si bémol majeur op. 99 D 898 ne fut pas imprimé du vivant du compositeur. L?adagio en Mi bémol majeur op. post. 148 D 897 reproduit en annexe et connu plus tard sous letitre de Notturno fut conçu à l?origine comme mouvement lent du trio en Si bémol majeur. Schubert pourrait l?avoir considéré comme impropre à la publication du fait de son caractère sombre et expressif jusqu?au désespoir. Il ne parut d?ailleurs qu?en 1846. En annexe de ce recueil figure également le premier essai dans le genre du trio composé par Schubert à l?été 1812 alors qu?il était âgé de 15 ans.
