Internationally renowned concert pianist Joseph Banowetz presents this definitive collection of original masterworks by Franz Schubert.

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?.'

Works for Piano four-hands Volume II-Aucun autre grand compositeur n?a ?crit autant d??uvres pour piano ? quatre mains que Franz Schubert ? 54 ?uvres en tout (dont 32 avec num?ro d?opus): des fantaisies des danses des marches des variations rondos sonates etc. Jouer de la musique ensemble souvent dans un cadre convivial faisait partie int?grante de la vie au sein du cercle d?amis de Schubert. Quel plaisir de travailler ces morceaux! Dans les trois volumes de l??dition Henle-Urtext comportant la musique pour piano ? quatre mains de Schubert les morceaux sont class?s par ordre chrono-logique. Le volume II contient 26 morceaux en tout dont 19 sont rassembl?s dans quatre opus de trois quatre et six morceauxs?par?s: Trois Marches militaires Quatre L?ndler ainsi que six Grandes Marches et Trios et autant de Polonaises. Ces ?uvres datent des ann?es 1818 ? 1826. La pi?ce la plus connue de ce volume est sans doute la sonate en Ut majeur D 812 ?galement connue sous le titre de Grand Duo et compos?e en 1824. Cependant sans vouloir rel?guer les autres ?uvres au second plan les sept marches sont elles aussi des ?uvres somptueuses.

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'.

Masterpiece Edition-Franz Schubert was born in Vienna in 1797. He was involved in music at an early age learning music theory and many different instruments including piano violin organ and voice. During his brief but prolific life he wrote a wide variety of music. His compositions included symphonies piano sonatas piano duets operas masses chamber works and several hundred songs. Among the hundreds of songs the most loved and revered is Ave Maria. Ave Maria was first published in 1826 under the German title Ellen's Gesang 111: Hymne and die Jungfrau (Ellen's Song 111: Hymn to the Virgin). The text used was taken from a novel written by Sir Walter Scott entitled 'Lady of the Lake'. It was then translated into German as it appeared in Schubert's song. After Schubert's death in 1828 the Latin text began being used and eventually surpassed either the use of the German or English text. 'Antiphon of the Blessed Virgin' is a text which has been used in religious contexts since the beginning of Christianity. This vocal classic was originally envisioned as a devotional piece but over time the magnificent beauty of both music and text has made this song equally popular for secular performances. Schubert's Ave Maria arranged for High Voice is recommended for Soprano or Tenor ranges. We have included a separate vocal line with lyrics written in Latin just above the piano accompaniment stave(s). The English translation is also included to explain this fabled story. This Minstrel Press Edition of Schubert's Ave Maria for High Voice is exclusively distributed by Santorella Publications.

Bien que Robert Schumann absolument adoré jouer un duo, il écrit seulement quelques oeuvres pour piano duo. Créée en 1848, Bilder aus dem Osten opus 66 était une des oeuvres plus connus et les plus souvent jouées dans la littérature de piano duo jusqu'au XXe siècle. Mais ne les Polonaises opus 3 par le compositeur de 18 ans, suivant l'exemple de Franz Schubert et même dépassant lui en audace harmonique et ingéniosité tonale déjà montrent l'autodidacte Schumann sur le chemin de son propre style. Après que le volume 1, qui contient les oeuvres plus faciles composée pour fins d'enseignement de la musique, volume 2 contient maintenant le Ballszenen opus 109 charmant, pourtant guère connu en plus de ces deux oeuvres susmentionnées. La nouvelle édition de la Wiener Urtext édition basé sur le texte musical de la nouvelle édition complète de Schumann (édité par Joachim Draheim et Bernhard Appel) fournit, pour la première fois, un texte original fiable basé sur les sources, surtout pour les 8 Polonaises qui avaient été édités insuffisamment jusqu'à maintenant.

Schubert for clarinet Together with Ludwig van Beethoven, Franz Schubert is considered to be the founder of romantic music in German-speaking countries. He mainly owes this reputation to the composition of more than 600 songs, many of which, even today, are an integral part of every singers repertoire. For this album James Rae has selected some of Schuberts most beautiful melodies from both his vocal and instrumental works and arranged them for clarinet. Its expressive sound, coupled with Schuberts unique melodies, is a homage to the great composer and should enrich every clarinet players repertoire.
