Romantic piano music is particulary suitable for awakening and encouraging the pupil's desire to play with expression. In Volumes 2 and 3 of The European Piano Method (ED 7931, 7932, 7933) this expressive, cantabile playing is particularly encouraged. The two romantic supplementary books are specifically intended to further these qualities.
All the great masters of the Romantic era, from Schubert to Reger, are represented by small yet typical pieces. There are no pieces from Schumann's 'Album for the Young' as the complete album is essential teaching material. / Partition /

In autumn 1827 Schubert composed eight 'Impromptus' for publication as a complete collection by Haslinger in Vienna. When the plan fell through Schubert offered his 'Impromptus' to Schott as pieces which 'could be issued individually or all four together'. The name of the works probably originated from the publisher Haslinger and Schubert also used it for his collection published later as op. posth. 142. The lyrical-romantic works are suitable for advanced piano students and have the character of sonata movements. Robert Schumann who regarded them as parts of a four-movement sonata drew attention to the second collection published by Diabelli in 1839 in hisreview.For the first time this scholarly-critical Urtext edition presents the musical text of the 'New Schubert Edition' in new engraving and with optimum page-turns.

Piano-The Viennese composer Franz Schubert (1797-1828) became one of the originators of the Romantic style and the greatest of the post classicists bridging the gap between the 'Classical' and 'Romantic' periods.Grade: 5 - 6

The Complete Winterreise and Seven Other Great Songs-Of the many transcriptions Franz Liszt made of the works of other composers those he made of the songs of Franz Schubert are among his most inspired. This volume contains the legendary pianist's twelve transcriptions from Schubert's great song cycle 'Winterreise' along with the four songs of 'Geistliche Leider' and the beloved single songs 'La Rose' 'Lob Der Thranen' and 'Die Forelle'. These rare transcriptions offer unique blending of Classical inspiration with Romantic virtuosity. Here Liszt retained the intense lyricism and emotional impact of Schubert's songs as he transformed them into dazzling compositions for solo piano. This Dover publication has alleviated yearsof anxiety that availability of authoritative editions of these masterpieces were becoming thin on the ground. Now nineteen rare gems of the keyboard literature are once more available reproduced from extremely rare early editions.

Beloved for his wonderfully lyrical gift as well as for the innovations of form and harmony he brought to his music, Franz Schubert helped pioneer the Romantic piano style as he influenced later composers. This attractive compilation of his most accessible piano music displays that musical brilliance in a variety of his best-loved pieces. Reproduced from the authoritative Breitkopf and Härtel editions, these gems include lively Scottish and German dances (the 11 Ecossaises and 12 Ländler), the Scherzo in B-flat, the enormously popular Moments Musicaux, and four Impromptus from Op. 90 and Op. 142. These short classics are balanced by two of Schubert's greatest masterworks - the Sonata in A Major, Op. 120, and the world-famous Wanderer Fantasy, a work whose new concepts of unified musical form influenced the sonatas and concertos of Franz Liszt.

The large and technically demanding G major Sonata was composed two years before Schubert?s death in October 1826 and is one of only three piano sonatas that appeared in print during his lifetime. The unusual title of the first edition ?Fantasie, Andante, Menuetto und Allegretto? stems from the publisher Haslinger and is probably due to the dreamy-melancholy underlying mood of the first movement which corresponded little to the traditional concepts of a sonata?s first movement. It is hardly surprising that the ?Fantasy-Sonata?, as it is often still called today, later inspired artists such as Franz Liszt and Robert Schumann with its free and romantic nature, who described it as being consummate ?in form and spirit?. For the present Urtext edition a thorough re-examination of all known sources was undertaken, including the autograph in the British Library, and the edition now presents itself with the usual crystal clear Henle music engraving. The preface by Schubert expert Andrea Lindmayr-Brandl and the detailed commentary section provide comprehensive information about the genesis of the work, the sources and their readings. A further highlight are the fingerings by pianist Martin Helmchen.

including the unfinished works-The third volume in the series of Franz Schubertâ??s Complete Piano Sonatas has been carefully edited annotated and fingered for the ABRSM by Howard Ferguson. Published within the â??Signatureâ?? Series a series of authoritative performing editions of standard keyboard works prepared from original sources by leading scholars including informative introductions performance notes and detailed editorial markings. Volume Three includes the final four of his twelve fantastic Sonatas as well as several unfinished pieces. All composed between 1815 and 1828 these range from popular favourites to mere fragments only a few bars long. Even in the earliest of thesesonatas Schubert demonstrates his compositional poeticism sensitivity and skill in the romantic idiom. For a broad scope of emotion and feeling they are second only to Beethovenâ??s sonatas.

Par SIBELIUS JEAN. The Piano runs through Jean Sibelius's oeuvre like a red thread. After some first student pieces, he composed the Sonata op. 12 (EB 8142) in 1893, and his first cycle of Piano pieces, the Six Impromptus op. 5. Here the Finnish composer self-assuredly takes up a great romantic genre significantly shaped by Schubert and Chopin. Sibelius draws inspiration from some of his own early works in this composition, yet he also uses the last two pieces from opus 5 as the groundwork for an autonomous 'Impromptu' for string orchestra which he put together shortly after completing the Piano pieces. 'You must judge me on the basis of my orchestral works. The Piano does not interest me. Itcannot sing, ' said Sibelius. Yet how seriously can we take this famous quote when considering how masterfully he crossed the boundaries with his Impromptus' Pianists such as Ralf Gothoni, Glenn Gould and Olli Mustonen have not let themselves be deterred by the composer's harsh self-criticism, and, with their interpretations, have provided compelling proof of the opposite./ Répertoire / Piano
