Franz Schubert : Piano Sonata in c Minor, D 958

All 15 Sonatas including the celebrated 'C Minor' 'A Major' and 'B Flat Major' Sonatas. Breitkopf and Hortel edition. The Piano Sonatas of Franz Schubert are characterised by the supremely lyrical greatness that distinguishes all of the composer's work. The unfailing melody the fresh modulations and the emotional range - from blissful contentment to pensive melancholy - of these works place them firmly among the undisputed piano classics.

The large and technically demanding G major Sonata was composed two years before Schubert?s death in October 1826 and is one of only three piano sonatas that appeared in print during his lifetime. The unusual title of the first edition ?Fantasie, Andante, Menuetto und Allegretto? stems from the publisher Haslinger and is probably due to the dreamy-melancholy underlying mood of the first movement which corresponded little to the traditional concepts of a sonata?s first movement. It is hardly surprising that the ?Fantasy-Sonata?, as it is often still called today, later inspired artists such as Franz Liszt and Robert Schumann with its free and romantic nature, who described it as being consummate ?in form and spirit?. For the present Urtext edition a thorough re-examination of all known sources was undertaken, including the autograph in the British Library, and the edition now presents itself with the usual crystal clear Henle music engraving. The preface by Schubert expert Andrea Lindmayr-Brandl and the detailed commentary section provide comprehensive information about the genesis of the work, the sources and their readings. A further highlight are the fingerings by pianist Martin Helmchen.

including the unfinished works-The third volume in the series of Franz Schubertâ??s Complete Piano Sonatas has been carefully edited annotated and fingered for the ABRSM by Howard Ferguson. Published within the â??Signatureâ?? Series a series of authoritative performing editions of standard keyboard works prepared from original sources by leading scholars including informative introductions performance notes and detailed editorial markings. Volume Three includes the final four of his twelve fantastic Sonatas as well as several unfinished pieces. All composed between 1815 and 1828 these range from popular favourites to mere fragments only a few bars long. Even in the earliest of thesesonatas Schubert demonstrates his compositional poeticism sensitivity and skill in the romantic idiom. For a broad scope of emotion and feeling they are second only to Beethovenâ??s sonatas.

Franz Schubert's Piano pieces for four hands are among the most varied and significant works in the repertoire. Included in this volume are fifteen of Schubert's best and most popular titles taken from the definitive Breitkopf and Hartel edition. Includes 'Three Military Marches Op. 51' and 'Sonata In C Major Op. 140'.

A quick location of works and individual movements is facilitated by running titles at the top of the right-hand pages with indications of opus and movement numbers. The Critical Commentary lists in particular readings relevant to interpretation. Schubert's drafts and sonata fragments are accessible via the Bärenreiter website.

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.

Franz Schubert’s Sonata in A minor D. 821 was originally written for piano and arpeggione an instrument of the 1820s combining features of the guitar and the cello. This instrument was in use for just a short period of time so that the composition has now become standard repertoire for cello and piano and this is the version presented here. A handwritten violin part in the hand of Anton Diabelli kept by the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris however shows that the sonata’s arpeggione part was initially arranged for violin long before the first print in 1871 introduced the well-known version for cello and piano. WienerUrtext also publishes Diabelli’s arrangement for violin and piano in a separate edition. Both editions are essentially based on Schubert’s autograph the cello part in principle relies on the first printed edition of 1871 the violin part is based on Diabelli’s arrangement. 

With these three volumes Wiener Urtext Edition presents the first critical edition of Schubert's entire Piano sonata output published in chrono-logical order. The musical text newly revised from the original sources is accompanied by articles giving a history of the work details on Schubert's Piano writing and his instruments and tips on authentic performance practice. The editorial approach is explained in a critical commentary. The third volume contains the later sonatas composed in Schubert's final years (1825-1828) D 850 D 894 D 958 D 959 and D 960.

Franz Schubert wrote his Arpeggione Sonata for piano and arpeggione, a hybrid instrument that was part guitar, part violoncello and fashionable at that time. Today, the piece has become a standard work for violoncello and piano, an instrumentation chosen for the present edition as well. For the few players of an arpeggione, a solo part is available at www.wiener-urtext.com [1]. The edition follows, for the most part, the text of Schubert's extant autograph. / Violoncelle Et Piano

Ausgabe für Violoncello. Par SCHUBERT FRANZ. Une bonne intention n’est jamais assez bonne (d’après Kurt Tucholsky): l’Arpeggione, cette sorte d’hybride – une grande guitare frottée par un archet – n’a jamais réussi à s’imposer auprès des musiciens. Cette curiosité organologique serait certainement déjà tombée depuis longtemps dans l’oubli le plus total si précisément Franz Schubert n’avait pas composé sa sonate en La mineur pour cet instrument. Et cette oeuvre en trois mouvements est vraiment immortelle. Mais elle pose aussi un problème pour l’Urtext, car sans certaines interventions dans le texte, la partie d’arpeggione originale ne pourrait être exécutée sur l’instrument le plus proche au niveau du timbre, àsavoir l’alto ou le violoncelle. La maison d’édition G. Henle résout ainsi le dilemme: d’une part, la partie d’arpeggione originale est superposée à la partie de piano originale (partition), de l’autre, dans la partie séparée jointe à la partition les rares changements d’octaves indispensables sont clairement indiqués. Il était hors de question pour nous d’envisager une autre partie – le violon par exemple (comme dans l’édition Diabelli parue après la mort du compositeur), la flûte ou tout autre instrument mélodique à tessiture aiguë – car toutes ces alternatives s’écartent trop des représentations de timbre que pouvait avoir Schubert. Dans le meilleur des cas, on pourrait envisager – pourquoi pas? – une partie de contrebasse. / Partition brochée / Répertoire / Violoncelle et Piano

Franz Schubert
Sonate pour piano en Sol majeur op. 78 D 894

Edition Urtext, reliure paperback
édition révisée
remplace HN 726
La Sonate en Sol majeur, de vastes dimensions et exigeante techniquement, a vu le jour en octobre 1826, deux ans avant la disparition de Schubert. Elle fait partie des trois seules sonates pour piano qui parurent encore sous forme imprimée du vivant du compositeur. Le titre inhabituel de la première édition ? Fantasie, Andante, Menuetto et Allegretto ? est dû à l?éditeur Haslinger. Il fait référence à l?atmosphère rêveuse et mélancolique du 1er mouvement, qui ne correspondait pas vraiment à la conception traditionnelle d?un mouvement initial de sonate. Il est ainsi peu surprenant que la «Fantaisie-sonate», comme on l?appelle encore souvent de nos jours, ait, par son caractère libre et romantique, enthousiasmé des artistes tels Franz Liszt ou Robert Schumann, qui l?a qualifiée de «totalement accomplie, tant par la forme que par l?esprit». La présente édition urtext se base sur un réexamen approfondi de toutes les sources connues, notamment l?autographe de la British Library. Elle est réalisée dans la brillante gravure caractéristique des productions Henle. L?avant-propos de la spécialiste de Schubert, Andrea Lindmayr-Brandl, ainsi qu?une section de notes très développée, fournissent des informations exhaustives sur l?origine de l??uvre, les sources et leurs variantes. Autre point fort, les doigtés du pianiste Martin Helmchen. / Partitions classique / Piano - instruments à clavier / Piano / HENLE VERLAG
