Complete Works For Piano Four Hands Op. 134 Band 2

Arrangement for Piano Fourhands-In the 19th century arrangements for Piano four-hands were usually versions which people played at home if the works could not be heard in concert. In cases such as these Brahms did not however just make functional versions butcreatively transcribed his works for the piano. As the composer he allowed himself greater freedom than arrangers for publishers did. In this form his arrangements greatly contributed to the success of his works in musical life inthe 19th century. It is on account of their creativity that Brahms’ arrangements have attracted new interest in musical circles over the last few decades. This Urtext edition of the Symphonies nos. 1 and 2 for piano four handsoffers a scholarly musical text following the recently published volume in the Brahms Complete Edition.

for Piano four hands-It was the Slavonic Dances for Piano Duet Op.46 which brought Anton n Dvo ák unexpected international fame. An unerring business instinct led Fritz Simrock at the beginning of 1878 to ask the Czech composer for some works for piano duet into which Dvo ák incorporated musical themes from where he grew up. Following in the footsteps of Brahms?s Hungarian Dances Dvo ák refrained from a literal portrayal of individual kinds of dance. As a result he created unique masterpieces of European music for domestic use and concert performance.This edition of both series of the Slavonic Dances is based on the CompleteEdition of the Works of Anton n Dvo ák. The main sources are the first editions published by Simrock. Separate editions of these works based on the Complete Edition of Anton n Dvo ák s Works vol. V/5New forewords (Cz/Eng/Ger) by Hans-Joachim Hinrichsen and Ivana RentschNewly engraved in score format

Chopinâ??s four ballades four impromptus and three sonatas are among the composerâ??s most mature works rivalled only by his scherzos and polonaises for extended thematic development and formal structure. The eleven compositions in this volume are drawn from Carl Mikuliâ??s comprehensive edition of Chopinâ??s complete works for piano. As Chopinâ??s student and later teaching assistant Mikuli was in a privileged position to reflect on the masterâ??s approach to keyboard performance. The works contained in this volume are complete.

Arrangement for Piano four-hands-In order to also promote the circulation of his works outside the concert hall Johannes Brahms made Piano arrangements of many of his orchestral works. As the composer he was able to take greater liberties than anyother arranger would have been able to take. And it is precisely due to Brahms’ creative ideas in the Piano scoring that his arrangements have enjoyed renewed interest in the music world over the past decades.Withthis Urtext edition of the Symphonies Nos. 3 and 4 based on the musical text in the Johannes Brahms Complete Edition our catalogue now contains all four symphonies in the authentic Piano arrangementsmade by the composer. Once again Andreas Groethuysen has kindly provided the fingerings.
