Two Beethovian Sketches

With the new Urtext Primo series, the Wiener Urtext Edition wants to close the gap arising at the point of transition to additional lessons after having studied a piano method. Beginning with a performance level which is outlined by pieces such as Bach's Minuet in G (BWV Anh. 116), Mozart's Minuet in F (KV 5) or Schumann's Wilder Reiter (Op. 68/8), each volume contains works by three different composers, with the aim of offering piano pupils (or even adults who want to resume piano playing) a wide range of repertoire pieces on the basis of which they can enhance their technical and musical skills. In contrast to conventional piano anthologies, the pieces' range of levels of difficulty is relatively narrow so that the volume can be used continuously over a period of about two years. The selected repertoire takes into account not only pieces of the classic canon of lessons, but also lesser known works which are in no way of less importance for piano lessons. The explanations included at the end of each volume shall help to deepen the knowledge of musical styles, music history and piano playing. A repertoire chart at the end of each volume gives a rough overview of the levels of difficulty of the selected pieces.After Vol. 1 with works by Bach, Handel and Scarlatti and Vol. 2 with compositions by Haydn, Mozart and Cimarosa, Vol. 3 contains pieces by Beethoven, Schubert und Hummel, including popular pieces such as Beethoven's 'Für Elise' and lesser known, yet stimulating settings by Johann Nepomuk Hummel. / Piano

In Es Für Klavier Op. 7-The earliest sketches for Beethoven’s Grande Sonate Op.7 date from 1796 and the first edition was issued by the publisher Artaria Vienna in October 1797. It is dedicated to Beethoven’s pupil Anna Luise Barbara (Babette) Countess Keglevicz in whom if Carl Czerny is to be believed he was passionately in love. For this reason it is sometimes known by its German nickname “Die Verliebte” (The Lover).This work is one of the longest and most demanding of Beethoven’s piano sonatas. Its four movements cover a wide range of emotions – a challenge that the dedicatee who was 16 at the time and only started taking lessons from Beethoven in1797 possibly felt unable to master.Jonathan Del Mar the worldwide authority and acclaimed specialist on Beethoven is editing all of this composer's piano sonatas in B?renreiter Urtext editions incorporating the latest findings of Beethoven scholarship and evaluating every available source. Del Mar's meticulous examination of the handwritten and printed sources as well as the various impressions of prints published in Beethoven’s lifetime lead to a reliable and conclusive musical text. Rounding off each volume is a Critical Commentary which documents every source discrepancy and editorial decision.These editions contain an elegant and spacious engraving with practical page turns as well as informative Introductions on the genesis and significance of the works concerned.

Fragment-Ludwig van Beethoven wrote his Duo For Violin And Violoncello whilst he was still in Bonn perhaps in 1792 the year he departed for Vienna. It is not known whether he completed his work as only thebeginning of a fast sonata movement has survived. It is on a page in a collection of sketch leaves that is today known as the ?Kafka Miscellany?. Robert D. Levin has completed this fragment in the same style and thus for the firsttime it is in a version that can be performed.This Henle Edition contains two performance scores of the lively showpiece thus guaranteeing an optimal duo experience. A welcome addition to the repertoire.

This collection provides a historical selection of 40 original Piano pieces which have been influenced by extra-musical incidents or ideas: It begins with scenes from nature describes the fascination of rain portrays the figure of the shepherd wanders to 'moon' 'sleep' and 'dream' and concludes with the theme of 'movement' which is visible and audible either at sporting activities and in technical devices or on travels.It is quite fascinating to see that composers such as Burgmüller or Grieg Beethoven Debussy R. Schumann Tchaikovsky Villa-Lobos Satie Couperin Martinu Mendelssohn or Mussorgsky and many others see and musically describe the same themes quitedifferently.ContentIn the Woods: - Burgmüller Awakening in the Woods (from: 18 Studies Op. 109)Daquin Rondeau 'Le Coucou'Tschaikowsky The Lark's Song (from: The Seasons Op. 37a)Janácek The Barnowl has not Flown Away!

In C Minor Op. 13-The ?Pathétique? marks the beginning of the publication of all Beethoven piano sonatas by Bärenreiter in scholarly-critical Urtext editions.This Sonata in C minor was his first large work in this genre and a prime example of the late 18th century sonata. To this day it remains a source of fascination with its ardent pathos and emotional coherence. While first sketches probably date back to 1796 Beethoven did not complete the sonata until 1798/99 shortly after his string trio in C minor op. 9 from 1797/98. He published the work in December 1799 in Vienna.The Urtext edition of this famous sonata edited by the Beethoven expert Jonathan Del Mar remainsfaithful to the sources and reflects the latest research. With its clear print and practical page turns it will appeal to advanced piano students pianists and teachers. It includes a historical foreword a detailed critical commentary as well as informative notes on performance practice.Scholarly-critical performing Urtext edition based on most recent researchFor advanced piano students pianists and teachersOptimum page turns and notes on performance practiceDetailed foreword (Ger/Eng) and critical commentary (Eng)

Henrik Wiese once again draws on his wealth of experience as a flutist and pedagogue: with his book “The Piccolo & Alto Flute Audition“, he has compiled a total of 207 audition excerpts in a carefully edited and clearly arranged compendium. In alphabetical order, it contains standard passages from orchestral works of various genres throughout music history, both common and less frequently requested. This up-to-date collection is a reliable companion and indispensable for optimal preparation for international auditions of all kinds at the opera, with symphony or chamber orchestras.
Easy-to-read, uniform and modern layout make the edition convenient to use. The critical report and chronological list of audition excerpts for quicker stylistic classification make the editor a comprehensive coach for flutists. Numerous other tips and remarks gained by Wiese from his practical experience and exchange with colleagues and students complete the book. International demand is fulfilled by the texts being in three languages (German, French, English), thus making “The Piccolo & Alto Flute Audition“ the equivalent of the already established edition “The Flute Audition“.
