Viola Sonata

Sonata in B flat major op. 36 for Piano and Viola-Henry Vieuxtemps' Viola Sonata In B Flat Op.36. Urtext edition.Following a concert by the 14-year old 'wunderkind' Henry Vieuxtemps in 1834 none other than Robert Schumann said 'WithHenri one can safely close one’s eyes. His playing is like a flower at the same time both fragrant and bright'. Vieuxtemps is nowadays considered to be the foremost exponent of the Franco-Belgian Violin school.The composer was however an excellent Viola player and wrote several compositions for the instrument. Sonata Op.36 published in 1862 is one of the gems of Viola literature with its oscillation betweenexpressive maestoso elegiac barcarola and scherzando passages. This edition by Henle is the first Urtext version of the work to be published.

Edited after: Paul Hindemith, Complete Works, Vol. V/7Instrument : viola and pianoNombre de Pages : 64The genesis of the viola sonata reflects the eventful life of Hindemith in the winter of 1938/39 and owes its completion to Hindemith's ability to compose even while travelling, especially on trains. Hindemith himself said about his viola sonata: '... It is a powerful, well-fed piece with durable lining for cold weather. Second movement with a tricky rhythm to which one has to creep up carefully in order to master it. In the last movement which consists of two variations on an already fully developed rondo movement...' Hindemith shows again the wide range of his compositional and formal brilliance. New edition based on the text of the Hindemith Complete Edition.

They offertoday?s musicians not just a reliable musical text based on all known sources but also a comprehensive approach to the works which aims to place them in their historical context and to elucidate the complex of meanings that the composer wished his notation to convey to performers.The Violin and Viola sonata editions come not only with an Urtext part freed from all editorial emendations but also with an additional part including fingering and bowing based on the practices of Joseph Joachim and his colleagues. These markings especially draw on publications of the sonatas edited by Joachim?s pupils Leopold Auer and Ossip Schnirlin as well as those by Brahms? associate Franz Kneisel. A similar approach has been used for the Violoncello sonatas drawing on performance markings by Robert Hausmann (for whom Brahms wrote the Sonata in F major) Hugo Becker with whom Brahms performed it and Julius Klengel who was also close to his circle.

Sonata WoO postum for Violin and Piano-Edited by Clive Brown and Neal Peres Da Costa with an Urtext solo part as well as a second part with performance markings.Johannes Brahms The Works for one Instrument and Piano:Johannes Brahms? compositions for one instrument and Piano have been standards in chamber music literature ever since their inception. These works were written with specific performers in mind and Brahms worked closely with them when refining the final texts. Nevertheless we rarely approach the music taking into consideration the possibilities of the instruments for which Brahms wrote or the performing practices of the individual playerswho first performed these compositions including Brahms himself.The New Urtext Editions:Bärenreiter?s pioneering new scholarly-critical editions of Brahms? works for one instrument and Piano are edited by a team of musicologists who are also performers.

At the same time there is a complete list of the sources an explanation of the editorial procedures and a Critical Commentary. Also each volume contains a detailed discussion of specific performing practice issues raised by individual works.An integral part of Bärenreiter?s Brahms publication complex is a text booklet which approaches general performance practice issues of the 19th century with regard to e.g. tempo rubato rhythmic flexibility and articulation. Furthermore musicians will find valuable information concerning vibrato portamento and bowing. Last but not least characteristics of Brahms? own Piano playing as well as that of his circle and contemporaries are discussed.The Violin and Viola sonata editions come not only with an Urtext part freed from all editorial emendations but also with an
