Robert Schumann: Piano Quartet In E Flat Op. 47: Piano Quartet: Score and Parts

?In the evening we played Robert?s E-Flat Major Quartet for the first time ? and I was once again truly delighted at this beautiful and so youthful work? enthused Clara Schumann in 1842. Inpreparation for this work Schumann had studied String quartets by the Viennese Classical composers. This is why all of the parts in the quartet are treated equally forming a splendid ensemble. Our edition has anextensive critical commentary on account of the difficult source situation. The fold-out page in the Cello part was designed with music practice in mind. The Piano Quartet and the Piano quintet op. 44 referred toas ?sister works? were both composed in Schumann?s ?chamber music year?. For this reason we were publishing them both in the 2006 ?Schumann Year?.

Based on Robert Schumann. Neue Ausgabe sämtlicher Werke, Band II/3. Par SCHUMANN ROBERT. The Fairy-Tale Narratives (Märchenerzählungen) for B-flat Clarinet (ad libitum Violin), Viola and Piano, Op. 132, belong to the few Schumann works that were composed, revised and published in a short time: composed in Düsseldorf, at beginning of October 1853, the new composition was already offered for publication to the Breitkopf & Härtel publishing house on 3 November and printed in February 1854. Composition and publication of the Märchenerzählungen were accompanied, though, by difficult times, the final days before the composer was admitted to the psychiatric clinic in Endenich. The work’s reception lies in the shadow of the last creative period: The pieces were associated with his life’s darker phases and were very little played. The Märchenerzählungen transmit Schumann’s single work for this unusual piano trio with viola and clarinet. The only well-known earlier example in this setting at that time is Mozart’s “Kegelstatt” Trio K 498 (composed in 1786). Schumann was certainly already acquainted with the work from his Leipzig years – it was played in one of the “quartet sessions” in 1829. / Niveau : Intermédiaire à Avancé / Répertoire / Clarinette, Alto et Piano

Quatuor début avec piano Schumann composé en 1829 n'a pas encore trouvé sa voie dans le répertoire de concert, bien qu'il serait bien méritée. Cela est attribuable au fait que le travail n'a été disponible dans une version complète d'erreurs jusqu'à présent. Notre nouvelle édition le chercheur renommé de Schumann Joachim Draheim repose non seulement sur l'autographe, mais aussi sur les croquis de Schumann, fournissant ainsi un texte musical convaincant pour la première fois. Les pages manquantes de l'autographe (fin du premier mouvement, la partie gauche de piano dans le menuet, etc.) ont été réalisées pour la première fois avec l'aide de passages parallèles de manière convaincante et stylistiquement sensible. Un ajout précieux pour le répertoire à l'occasion de l'année 2010 de Schumann. / Violon, Alto, Violoncelle Et Piano
