G-Henle - 1 Piano, 4 hands

Piano Concerto no. 4 in c minor op. 44. Despite its unusual form - a structure with two sections, each comprising two movements that are to be played without interruption - this work from 1875 enjoyed great success from the start. In its balanced proportion of solo part to orchestra, it corresponds almost perfectly to the model of the ?symphonic concerto? and numbers among the most popular concerti by this French composer. For the first edition of 1877, no less a figure than Gabriel Fauré undertook the piano transcription of the orchestral part - an optimal basis for Johannes Umbreit?s piano reduction for the first Urtext edition ever of this work. As for the Piano Concerti no. 2 and no. 5 already issued by Henle, Pascal Rogé, one of the greatest experts on Saint-Saëns? piano works, also provided the fingerings for this edition.

Considéré par beaucoup comme le dernier représentant du classicisme viennois, Ludwig Van Beethoven, mort à 57 ans est un génie qui a composé quantité d'oeuvres dont Grand Fugue op. 134 (the composer's transcribed version) pour Piano 4 mains et Plus et plus particulièrement pour Piano 4 Mains. Ce sont les éditions Henle qui ont éditées cette oeuvre de Ludwig Van Beethoven. Il ne vous reste plus qu'à la jouer. / Piano 4 Mains / Chanson En Séparée

In his late work Beethoven devoted himself intensively to the forms of baroque polyphony. He originally composed the Große Fuge as the final movement of the String Quartet in Bb Op.130. However accordingto one critic the listeners of the time considered it to be 'unintelligible like Chinese'. At the urging of his publisher Beethoven then replaced it with a newly composed closing movement for the quartet. In addition he alsomade a version of the Große Fuge for Piano four-hands. The autograph of this arrangement was recently rediscovered. Courtesy of the Juillard School of Music Henle was able to consult it for the first time fortheir new critical edition.

Slavonic Dances op. 72 for Piano Four-hands-With the publication of the second volume all of the ?Slavonic Dances? are now available in Urtext. Following the resounding success of the first series op. 46 which immediately made the composer famous around the world thepublisher urged him to write more. Dvo ák only got down to work on them eight years later announcing ?I think these will be very different?. And indeed the difference cannot be missed: the second series is singled out bygreater formal freedom and more colourful harmony. Whereas Opus 46 is for the most part characterised by sparkling high spirits (HN757) in Opus 72 there are also quieter notes: melancholy and poetry find their way into theexuberant dance.

Arrangement for Piano four-hands-In order to also promote the circulation of his works outside the concert hall Johannes Brahms made Piano arrangements of many of his orchestral works. As the composer he was able to take greater liberties than anyother arranger would have been able to take. And it is precisely due to Brahms’ creative ideas in the Piano scoring that his arrangements have enjoyed renewed interest in the music world over the past decades.Withthis Urtext edition of the Symphonies Nos. 3 and 4 based on the musical text in the Johannes Brahms Complete Edition our catalogue now contains all four symphonies in the authentic Piano arrangementsmade by the composer. Once again Andreas Groethuysen has kindly provided the fingerings.

In 1878 Dvorák was commissioned to write something along the lines of Brahms?s ?Hungarian Dances? but using the sounds of his native country. The resulting eight ?Slavonic Dances? led to hisinternational breakthrough. ?Furiant? ?polka? ?soudeská?: all are written with consummate mastery and dazzling formal sophistication. Although the ?Slavonic Dances? also became popularin orchestral arrangement they were originally written for Piano four-hands. Yet the musical text Dvorák released for publication was anything but ideal. Now to honour the centennial of his death we are presenting hisoriginal version with a detailed commentary on the work?s sources and editorial problems. The fingering always a delicate matter in duet playing has been entrusted to Andreas Groethuysen with results that will prove a boon toperformers everywhere.

La composition d??uvres pour piano n??tait pas le domaine de pr?dilection de Georges Bizet. Ses ?uvres pour piano sont peu nombreuses et peu significatives du point de vue de la forme du contenu et du caract?re. Il existe toutefois une exception: ses ?Jeux d?enfants? pour piano ? quatre mains compos?s en 1871 suite libre de douze pi?ces de genre courtes mais particuli?rement marquantes qui constituent un charmant petit chef-d??uvre. Avec une sobri?t? et une simplicit? empreintes d?esprit fran?ais il cr?e dans chacune de ces miniatures une atmosph?re unique et incomparable. L??criture et les moyens harmoniques utilis?s anticipent d?j? Ravel et Debussy! Certaines deces audaces furent pourtant malheureusement gomm?es au moment de la premi?re ?dition de 1872. C?est pourquoi il est d?autant plus important que notre ?dition urtext tienne ?galement compte du manuscrit autographe de Bizet. La pr?face et les remarques signalent toutes les variantes de la premi?re ?dition et offrent ainsi un aper?u passionnant de l?histoire de l??dition.
