Cradle Song was first written in 1868 and published in German as Wiegenlied (Op. 49 No. 4). It has since become commonly known as Brahms' Lullaby.The lyrics have been translated intoEnglish by Florence Hoare and the music arranged for Male Voice Chorus (TTBB) by Percy E. Fletcher. A Piano reduction is provided for rehearsal purposes.The German composer and pianist JohannesBrahms (1833-1897) spent most of his working life in Vienna where his influence and stature were unmatched during his lifetime. He was a noted perfectionist and often destroyed works he thought unworthy of publication.

A faith-affirming text reminds the church of its mission while stately part-writing and solid organ support lifts the piece into the hearts of the listener. This is an encouraging word for the church triumphant. Dont miss this one!

Brahms completed his Cello Sonata op. 99 during the productive summer of 1886. The first public performance took place in Vienna on 24 November of the same year. Robert Hausmann played the cello part and the composer himself was his partner at the piano. Even though the work was generally received positively, it took some years until it was fully appreciated and gained its irrevocable place in the cello repertoire.Of particular value to the editors were the two early performance editions of the Cello Sonata op. 99 by Hugo Becker and Carl Friedberg, as well as by Julius Klengel. Both cellists, Becker and Klengel, had a connection to Brahms who very much admired and trusted Becker's playing and who performed together with Klengel. This edition not only incorporates Becker's and Klengel's performance markings but also Hausmann's for whom the piece was written. As such, the Barenreiter edition comes with a cello part marked with fingering and bowing by the editors which are based on the practices of Brahms' contemporaries. We also provide an unmarked Urtext part.An important part of this edition is the extensive Preface. Firstly it informs about the work's origin, early performances, its publication as well as early reception. Truly remarkable is the unique Performance Practice Commentary. Here the editors take the premise that already a few decades after Brahms' death, a widening gulf developed between the composer's expectations and the performance practices of the early 20th century. In a very concrete and practical way, the editors summarize some of the key issues in understanding Brahms' notation with regard to rhythm and timing, dynamics and accentuation, dots and strokes, slurring and non legato, piano pedalling and overholding, piano arpeggiation and dislocation, string instrument fingering, string instrument harmonics and vibrato. In this way, the edition offers an exciting and often surprising insight into Romantic musical interpretation.- A pioneering Urtext edition- With an unmarked Urtext part- With a second part including fingering and bowing based on the practices of contemporaries of Brahms- With an extensive Performance Practice Commentary- For further information on Romantic performance practice we recommend the text booklet: 'Performance Practices in Johannes Brahms' Chamber Music?, BA 9600 / Violoncelle Et Piano

A pioneering set of Urtext editions.String editions include an Urtext solo part and a second part with fingering as well as performance markings.Each edition offers a preface on performance practice aspects pertaining to the respective works.A separate text booklet includes pioneering texts on general issues of performance practice in the 19th century as well as on specific issues with regard to Johannes Brahms? chamber music.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. 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.

A year after their composition in 1866, Brahms?s popular 16 Waltzes op. 39 for piano duet were arranged by the composer for piano solo, thus fulfilling the request of his publisher for a simplified version. Brahms himself described the first version as suitable for reasonable hands , that is for proficient players, and the easier version as perhaps for prettier hands , that is, for domestic music-making. He initially described the latter version to his publisher as a children?s edition . The catchy and musically easily accessible pieces are among the composer?s most popular works and are particularly suitable for piano students and lovers of the Romantic repertoire.

Both versions of the Waltzes op. 39 (BA9602, BA9603) are available in separate editions and form an important contribution to Bärenreiter?s series of Brahms?s works in scholarly-critical Urtext editions. Both editions include fingering, a well-presented musical layout and optimum page-turns. The Urtext editions are complemented by explanations on performance practice used by Brahms, an informative foreword on the genesis, sources and significance of the works together with comments on the primary sources.

La ballade instrumentale était une forme de musique populaire au 19ème siècle et ces quatre pièces pour piano sont la seule contribution de Brahms au genre. Le compositeur a écrit des ballades à l'époque de son amitié étroite avec Clara Schumann, et il s'en dégage une intimité plus typique d'une ballade vocale. Les pièces, qui fait l'éloge de Schumann avec enthousiasme, ont été décrits par Brahms comme étant 'pas trop difficile à jouer et encore moins difficile à comprendre.'Ballades de Brahms op. 10 font partie intégrante de la littérature pianistique avancée.

Johannes Brahms Concerto pour violon en Ré majeur op. 77 Editeur: Michael Struck, Linda Correll Roesner Réduction pour piano: Johannes Umbreit Doigtés vl.: Frank Peter Zimmermann Edition Urtext, réduction pour piano, reliure paperback parties avec ou sans indications de doigté Pages: 123 (X, 50, 33, 30), Dimension 23,5 x 31,0 cm N° d'article HN 818 · ISMN 979-0-2018-0818-5 Déjà accueilli avec enthousiasme par les contemporains, l'unique concerto pour violon de Brahms reste encore aujourd'hui un morceau de répertoire majeur. Témoignage de la collaboration fructueuse qui s'était établie entre le compositeur et Joseph Joachim, est la cadence écrite et ajoutée par ce dernier. La réduction pour piano originale de Brahms, particulièrement exigeante sur le plan pianistique, a fait l'objet d'un «élagage» prudent pour la présente édition de la part de Johannes Umbreit. Se basant sur le texte de la «Neue Brahms-Gesamtausgabe» (nouvelle édition complète des 'uvres de Brahms), la présente édition Urtext reproduit en annexe une variante, jusqu'ici inédite dans les éditions pour la pratique, de la cadence de Joachim. Outre les doigtés et annotations originaux, elle présente aussi les propositions de doigté de Frank Peter Zimmermann.?

Par BRAHMS JOHANNES. During his summer vacation in 1891 Brahms composed six vocal quartets which would appear in print later that autumn. This set, to become Brahms’s opus 112, clearly falls into two groups. The first two in the melancholic tone of the poems Sehnsucht (Longing) and Nächtens (At Night) by Franz Kugler come upon four Zigeunerlieder (Gypsy Lieder) bursting with vitality and power. The first public performances of the work were very positively received. Even while Brahms was still alive, the work was performed not only by the four solo voices originally intended, but also by choruses. Breitkopf & Härtel’s new practical edition of the Quartette follows the music text of the critical edition of the Johannes Brahms Complete Edition./ Répertoire / 4 Voix SATB et Piano

Par BRAHMS JOHANNES. This edition of Brahms' greatest, most ambitious vocal work is reprinted from the definitive edition of the composer's works, prepared by Breitkopf & Härtel of Leipzig. Inexpensive but sturdily constructed to provide years of pleasurable use, this full score combines all the musical parts in a clear, readable format, with wide margins, large noteheads, and many other helpful features. Brahms conducted the first major performance of the German Requiem in Bremen Cathedral in April 1868. The occasion — attended by many distinguished musicians, among them Clara Schumann — provided the 34-year-old composer with his first great public success. Scored for mixed chorus, solo voices, and full orchestra, the Requiem reflects Brahms' virtuosic grasp of nineteenth-century vocal technique as well as the polyphonic vocal traditions of the previous three centuries. Above all, it radiates Brahms' stalwart individuality, technical mastery, and stirring emotional appeal, which were soon to secure his unique position in the musical world. More than a century after its debut, this masterpiece of choral music is one of the most performed and recorded works in the repertoire of religious music. Reprinted in full score, including solo voices, chorus and orchestra, from definitive Breitkopf & Härtel edition.

Easy Piano Pieces with Practising Tips-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. Thepieces' 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.

Revised edition of HN 119-In 1879 about ten years before Johannes Brahms composed his late melancholic piano pieces he wrote the two Rhapsodies op. 79 two markedly passionate and comparatively extensive works. In a letter to the convalescent ClaraSchumann Brahms spoke in a typically understated fashion about the two pieces ?with which you can really run riot and test whether the course of treatment has actually had any effect?. We prefer to agree with Brahms? friendElisabeth von Herzogenberg: ?the fact that the g minor is my favourite does not make me insensitive towards the intensely prickly beauty of the one in b minor?. Both of these popular works have now been revised on the basis of thenew Brahms Complete Edition.
