Edition Urtext, transcription pour piano, reliure paperback
Bach/Busoni - cette combinaison fait battre plus vite le c?ur des pianistes. Car Busoni parvient même à transcrire pour piano les ?uvres de Bach écrites à l?origine sur mesure pour un autre instrument de telle manière que le monde sonore original reste perceptible, sans empêcher le grand piano de concert de faire étalage de tout son potentiel.
Sa transcription de la Toccata pour orgue en ré mineur BWV 565 (laquelle, après une période transitoire d?incertitude, est aujourd?hui de nouveau considérée comme une ?uvre à part entière de Bach) devait, en 1900, aux côtés de la Toccata en Ut majeur BWV 564, conclure la série de ses arrangements de Bach pour les éditions Breitkopf

Piano Trio in g minor op. 8-Fr?d?ric Chopin composed his piano trio when he was an 18-year-old student. About the performance of the trio on 31 August 1830 he wrote: ???On Sunday we rehearsed the trio. Perhaps because I haven???t heard it for awhile I was very happy with myself (fortunate man!).??? Incidentally Robert Schumann also shared this opinion writing in a review: ???Is it not as noble as possible more full of enthusiasm than any song ever written by apoet original in the smallest detail as in the whole every note music and life'??? We agree with this verdict and recommend this trio in our new Urtext edition to all lovers of highly romantic chamber music.

Opus post. 163 D 956. Parts only.No music lover can remain untouched by the emotional quality of this work composed in Schubert's last year. The monumental weight of the outer movements the intimate lyricism of the'Adagio' as well as the unusual timbre ensure the uniqueness of this quintet. An additional cello which takes on an essential melodic role joins the classical string quartet. The editor of this Urtext edition Egon Voss notonly does justice to the difficult source situation; with new and convincing solutions for difficult page turns he also takes into account the demands of musical practice.

The Well-Tempered Clavier Part I-The Well-Tempered Clavier was the title given to the book of twenty-four preludes and fugues in all the major and minor keys which was composed and compiled during Bachâ??s appointment in Kothen in 1722. Bach later wrote afurther twenty-four preludes and fugues and so the forty-eight preludes and fugues eventually became collectively known as the Well-Tempered Clavier Parts 1 And 2.Bach composed the Well-Tempered Clavier Part1 â??for the profit and use of musical youth desirous of learning and especially for the pastime of those already skilled in this study.â?? Even today these forty-eight preludes and fugues remain a necessity to all advancingpianists wishing to develop secure and perfect technique and technical control.The Well-Tempered Clavier is a major work of great breadth and depth and musical aesthetic and psychological diversity andcomplexity. This Urtext edition edited by Ernst-Gunter Heinemann and fingered by Andras Schiff provides you with an accurate realisation of the composerâ??s original intentions with thorough and detailed editorial markings andsuggestions.

Par BARTOK BELA. Béla Bartók?s six string quartets, composed between 1908 and 1940, are 20th-century milestones of the genre. His First String Quartet is closely linked to his unhappy love for the violinist Stefi Geyer, to whom he sent the initial measures of its first movement in early 1908 with the remark: ?My song of death?. When he completed all three movements of the work a year later, he had, according to his friend and colleague Zoltán Kodály, written himself ?back into life?. In this First Quartet, Bartók combines late-Romantic sounds with elements of the folk music that had since 1905 been a source of increasing interest to him. This definitive edition, supervised by Bartók scholar László Somfai, is the first-ever Urtext edition of this work. It takes into account both manuscript and printed sources, as well as letters and notes by the composer in which he recorded matters such as modifications to tempo markings. The Henle edition thus offers a musical text edited to the highest scholarly standards, with fascinating information on the work?s compositional history and performance practice. Sensible page turns and cue notes help to make this edition a real ?must have?. / Date parution : 2023-05-06/ Répertoire / Quatuor à Cordes

Par DVORAK ANTONIN. For several years following composition of his first piano quartet, Dvorák?s publisher Simrock pushed him to compose a follow-up piece in the genre. The work, written during a few short weeks in summer 1889, fulfilled Simrock?s wishes. With his op. 87, Dvorák delivered a challenging and mature work in which a mastery of form is combined with memorable themes and surprising harmonic turns, leading it quickly to conquer the hearts of both performers and audiences. The engraver?s model for the first edition is lost; but together with the first edition the autograph survives as a second source for our critical edition, with which Henle continues its series of Urtext editions of this composer. / Date parution : 2023-05-06/ Répertoire / Quatuor avec Piano

Par BARTOK BELA. Bartók?s Second String Quartet was composed ? with several long interruptions ? between 1915 and 1918, after he had spent several years almost solely devoted to collecting folk music. The melody and rhythms of the riotous middle movement ?Allegro, molto capriccioso? provide impressive testimony of how his research trips had taken him as far as North Africa. The first edition of this quartet, published in Vienna in 1920, contains a conspicuous number of errors that were only partially corrected in a later revision undertaken by Bartók. As late as the 1940s he noted changes in his personal copy of the score that have never previously appeared in print. These late changes by Bartók are taken into account in this definitive edition of the string quartets supervised by Bartók scholar László Somfai, with problematic passages in the sources carefully documented. It is the first-ever Urtext edition of this work. Sensible page turns and cue notes in the parts mean that this edition is ideal for exploring Bartók?s sound world in performance. / Date parution : 2023-05-06/ Répertoire / Quatuor à Cordes
