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), works by three different composers are selected for each volume of the Urtext Primo series, 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. 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. This is what distinguishes the Urtext Primo approach from almost all common anthologies. 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 Urtext Primo volumes are published in the internationally recognised standard of the Wiener Urtext editions. The explanations included in 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.Volume 4 combines works of the German Romanticism by Schumann, Brahms and Theodor Kirchner. Apart from well known pieces from Schumann's 'Album for the Youth' and the easiest waltzes from opus 39 (in the easier version) by Brahms, the selection contains the attractive set of variations from Schumann's first Youth Sonata Op. 118/1 and Brahms' Saraband in A minor WoO 5/1 as well as a number of pleasant pieces by Theodor Kirchner which continue the tonal air of Schumann and Brahms in easy playable pieces. / Piano

Nouvellement re-découvert dans la perspective de l'Année SchumannIl ya environ trois ans, un manuscrit jusqu'alors inconnu d'une feuille d'album pour piano de Robert Schumann a été trouvé dans le Leopold Sophien Bibliothèque d'Überlingen. Le petit morceau de piano, intitulée 'Ahnung', avait été donné et consacré par Klara Schumann à une de ses amies, le lithographe et écrivain Julius Allgeyer. Dans la série Wiener Urtext Edition, ce petit ouvrage est publié pour la première fois dans la perspective de l'Année Schumann 2010. Une copie du Schumann autographe retrouvé est inclus dans l'édition. Le expressif, relativement facile à jouer morceau ajoute au répertoire de piano romantique. / Piano

Album per la gioventù Op. 68. Par SCHUMANN ROBERT. The volume brings together two of Robert Schumann’s most famous collections of piano pieces for the young. Scenes from the Childhood (Kinderszenen), op. 15, contains a series of short pieces for piano written by Schumann in February 1838. These form the German composer’s poetic cycles, together with the Kreisleriana. As their titles suggest, Schumann had been inspired by some letters written by his wife, Clara Wieck, in which she reflects on his sometimes infantile spirit. As the great composer said himself: “There is a bit of everything, yet at the same time they are such easy pieces toremember”. Album for the Young (Album für die Jugend), op. 68, is a collection of simple pieces composed by Robert Schumann in 1848 for his three daughters. This album contains 43 easy pieces, split between “for the youngest ones” and “the older ones”. Edition in three languages: Italian, English and French / Niveau : Intermédiaire / Date parution : 1905-07-07/ Répertoire / Piano

'Clara Schumanns writing contains a number of original traits. She is far removed from merely copying Chopin Mendelssohn or Robert Schumann. At the most these masters sometimes shine through the particular coloring characteristic of all of Clara Schumanns pieces. The Quatre pièces fugitives all differ jn character and style. Especially the Andante (No. 3) contains some charming effects. No. 4 Scherzo a simple and innocent piece recalls Beethovens shorter sonatas.' (from the review printed in the 'Allgemeine Musikalische Zeitung' of 1 October 1845)

On the 200th anniversary of Robert Schumann's birth an ambitious project is coming to a close: For the first time since Clara Schumann's Complete Edition of 1879-93 all of the works for Piano solo are appearing as oneeditorial project.Spanning almost ten years of painstaking work all of the Schumann titles published by G. Henle Publishers have undergone a careful revision. The Schumann expert Ernst Herttrich has closely examined eachedition and also dedicated himself to those works that were previously missing from the catalogue.The result is being published in this new collection comprising six volumes as well as study editions in a slipcase. Theyreplace the former four volumes (HN108-HN115). Arranged clearly according to opus numbers it includes not only all of Schumann's Piano works revised to reflect the latest scholarly findings but also informative accompanyingtexts alternative versions and much more besides.Being a complete works collection a general difficulty level cannot be applied to these volumes. As a result we have assigned them a difficulty of 'advanced' as a guide tothe general proficiency required to play all the pieces.Contents:Exercises [Beethoven Studies] Variations on a Theme in E flat major ['Ghost' Variations] E flat major Drei Fantasiestücke op. 111 Three Piano Sonatas for the Young op. 118 Album Leaves op. 124 Seven Piano Pieces in Fughetta Form op. 126 Gesänge der Frühe op. 133 'Einsame Blume' from Forest Scenes op. 82 Coloured Leaves (BunteBlätter) op. 99

Complete Piano Works - Volume V. Par SCHUMANN ROBERT. À l’occasion du 200é anniversaire de la naissance de Robert Schumann en 2010, un projet dédition ambitieux a été conlcu: pour la première fois après l’édition par Clara Schumann des oeuvres complètes de Schumann en 1879–93, toutes les oeuvres pourpiano solo sont publiées dans le cadre dune même édition. Pendant près de dix ans de travail minutieux, tous les titres de Schumann déjà publiés aux Éditions G. Henle ont été soumis à une révision détaillée. Ernst Herttrich, spécialiste de Schumann, avait passé chaque édition au banc d’essai, se consacrant aussi aux oeuvres jusqu’ici absentes de notre catalogue. La présente collection comprenant six volumes est disponible en version brochéeou reliée et dans la série «Studien-Edition» en coffret. Classée de façon explicite selon les numéros d’opus, cette publication regroupe non seulement toutes les oeuvres pour piano de Schumann conformes à l’état actuel de la recherche, mais elle renferme aussi des textes d’accompagnement informatifs, desversions alternatives et bien d’autres choses. Contents: Faschingsschwank aus Wien op. 26- 3 Romanzen op. 28- Scherzo, Gigue, Romanze und Fughette op. 32- Album für die Jugend op. 68 - Vier Fugen op. 72- Vier Märsche op. 76- Waldszenen op. 82 / Partition brochée / Répertoire / Piano

Pour la présente édition, l'éditeur s'est servi des manuscrits autographes pour les pièces 1, 6 et 7, de la première édition et, en cas de doute d'interprétation, de la deuxième édition. Les Scènes d'enfants, composées en 1838, font partie de cette période où Schumann écrit exclusivement pour le piano solo. Avant ces pièces pour enfants, certaines grandes couvres ont vu le jour: Le Carnaval (opus 9), Les Davidsbündlertânze, Fantaisie (opus 17), etc. Les Scènes d'enfants sont des regards jetés en arrière par un adulte sur sa propre enfance, des souvenirs pour les personnes qui ont grandi, écrit Schumann à Clara. OEuvre pleine de poésie, de tendresse, de candeur, d'intimité exquise, de grâce juvénile, de virile tendresse, pages apparemment simples mais chargées de tous ces rêves dont veut se délivrer un adulte à la recherche du temps perdu de son enfance. Robert écrit à Clara: Les qualités qui donnent leur prix à cette musique ne dépendent que d'une grâce toute simple, naturelle et sans apprêt. Le 17 mars 1838, Schumann écrit encore à Clara: Est-ce une réponse à ce que tu m'écrivis un jour, tu me fais parfois l'impression d'un enfant, s'il en est ainsi, tu verras que des ailes ont poussé à cet enfant car j'ai écrit plus de trente petites pièces et j'en ai choisi une douzaine que je réunirai sous le nom de Scènes Enfantines. Tu prendras sans doute plaisir à les jouer, mais il te faudra oublier que tu es une virtuose. Treize pièces ont été retenues parmi les trente pour l'opus 15 - les autres pièces trouvèrent place dans l'albumblätter ou dans Bunte Blätter. Schumann donne, pour la plupart de ses oeuvres, les indications de tempo en allemand. Dans l'opus 15, les indications sont données en tempos métronomiques, sauf dans la pièce n° 11. Les tempos indiqués en tête de chaque pièce sont de Robert Schumann et ceux indiqués en fin sont de Clara Schumann. Ils figurent dans la deuxième édition. L'interprète choisira parmi ces différentes indications métronomiques le tempo qu'il jugera le mieux adapté au caractère de ces pièces.Contenu : Compositeur/Auteur : SCHUMANN RobertDiscipline/Instrument : pianoCollection : UrtextSupport : PartitionStyle/Genre : classiqueDate de parution : août-97Nombre de pages : 15
