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.

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

In the preface Michael Struck an eminent Brahms scholar writes about the distinctiveness of the work untilnow a completely unknown little song cycle by the composer. In it Brahms sets four texts to music by the poet Klaus Groth whom he greatly admired. In the well-known song cycle Opus 59 published by Brahmshimself the Groth songs are also to be found together with other songs.The reason why Johannes Brahms?

Philipp Spitta fittingly said that the works were ?perfect for slowly absorbing in solitude and tranquillity?.Opus 118 contains two of the composer?s best-known miniatures the Intermezzoin A major and the Romanze in F major.

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
