MOZART Complete Music for Piano 4 Hands (Digitally remastered 2 CD Set)

Easy piano arrangements of 22 classical favourites by Mozart. Complete with song background notes and playing hints and tips.

These Six Viennese Sonatinas were not originally composed by Mozart for the piano. They are a contemporary arrangement of the Wind Divertimentos K 439b which Mozart wrote in 1783. The Divertimentos are notable for their conciseness of form and their melodic richness. They therefore make an excellent introduction to Mozart's piano music even though they are not completely typical of Mozart's piano writing. We do not know for certain who made the arrangement but Alexander Weinmann has shown that it was probably Ferdinand Kauer. The order of movements is not the same as in the original; moreover some of the Trios have been exchanged and recapitulations have been shortenedin some instances. The original voice leading has been replaced by voice leading suitable to the piano. The 2oth_century editions by Rehberg (Schott) Rowley (Peters) and the old edition by Kapral (originally published by Universal Edition) are based on a Ricordi reprint edited by Muggelini in 1907; its musical text is unreliable and there are many arbitrary alterations. The present edition is therefore based on the first edition of the arrangement published by Artaria of Vienna in 1803. By comparing it with the score of the Divertimentos (Mozart Complete Edition Series XXIV No. 62 1905) and with the first edition of the parts it was possible to establish the precise articulation and dynamic markings and to add them where needed. For piano pupils simpler versions are suggested in footnotes as are possible executions of ornaments. Metronome markings have been provided by the editor; like the footnotes they should be taken only as suggestions.

Bärenreiter continues its Urtext edition of the complete Beethoven piano sonatas with three major works at once.They begin with the frequently played op. 2 Sonatas (nos. 1-3) (BA 10859) which stem from his early yet mature oeuvre when he was developing an independent style from the legacy of Mozart and Haydn.They then proceed to the lyrical D major Sonata op. 28 from his middle period (nicknamed 'Pastorale? by the publisher of the original edition) (BA 11814) and finally to the Sonata op. 101, Beethoven's first sonata specifically intended for the 'hammerklavier? and the one that introduced his esoteric late style to the piano sonatas (BA 11811).The acclaimed Beethoven specialist Jonathan Del Mar has consulted every known source for these critical Urtext performing editions. In addition he has analysed various copies of the prints published during Beethoven's lifetime. The results of his accurate research are presented in a meticulously edited musical text at the cutting edge of scholarship, together with a detailed Critical Commentary.All three volumes stand out in terms of their elegant and well-presented layout. Special emphasis has been placed on optimum page-turns and on the consideration of the flow of the music. The highly informative Introductions on the genesis and significance of the works are supplemented by valuable notes on historical performance practice.- New critical performing editions at the cutting edge of scholarship- Optimum page-turns- Introductions with valuable notes on historical performance practice (Eng/Ger) and Critical Commentaries (Eng) / Piano

It was common practice in the 18th and 19th centuries to publish Piano scores of works which had originally been intended for a different instrumentation. The Piano arrangements were used both for performances in private circles and for studies. Mozart himself wrote Piano arrangements of some of his works including the overture of 'The Abduction from the Seraglio'. It is published here as a separate edition along with the concluding Capriccio from the four Praeambula KV 395 which in terms of tonality brilliantly completes the overture ending as it does with an imperfect cadence on the dominant.

Mozart's works for Piano duet form the first highlight of this genre which later is only achieved by Franz Schubert. The two early sonatas from the Salzburg period which are particularly suited for music teaching in secondary schools are opposed to three effective compositions from his Viennese period. The present volume also contains the sonata KV 19d the authenticity of which is not confirmed as well as two fragmentary movements dated from Mozart's last years of life KV 357. Robert D. Levin has completed them true to style for practical use taking the limitations of the keyboards of the Mozart Pianos and the composer's personal style into account unlike as in the first edition of ca. 1860. In the appendix there are the two fantasias KV 594 and 608 originally composed for mechanical organ adapted from the earliest arrangements for piano duet published a few years after Mozart's death. In this edition the music text is published in the form of a score for the first time.

Mozart's lieder reveal him to be a dramatist in miniature. Even if he failed to cultivate this genre systematically he nevertheless directed his creative powers toward the lied at all stages of his career. His first effort (now lost) was written at the age of six or seven and he took up the genre again and again at irregular intervals down to the final year of his life. None the less Mozart usually chose to write a lied only when there was a special occasion for doing so. Even the preface to the firt complete edition of his lieder published in 1799 by Breitkopf & Härtel refers to them as 'occasional pieces' as does the Leipzig Allgemeine Musikalische Zeitung inthe same year. Mozart himself doubtless regarded these ingenious little works as 'pieces for friends' and was not disposed to think of them as particularly significant.

Déjà le premier volume de la très originale musique pour piano du fils cadet de Mozart fit dresser l?oreille des mélomanes.

Grâce à ce deuxième volume, nous sommes en mesure de compléter la collection par d?autres oeuvres de ce compositeur souvent sous-estimé. Voici ce qu?on pouvait lire à son époque au sujet de Franz Xaver Mozart: «Son jeu est limpide, précis, expressif, plein d?esprit et animé de sentiments»; contrairement aux «chevaliers du clavier», tels Moscheles ou Hummel, il ne plaçait pas la virtuosité au premier plan, ce qui rend ses oeuvres attractives pour le musicien amateur.

À côté d?un grand nombre de pièces isolées, le volume contient plusieurs cadences de F. X. Mozart écrites à l?attention des concertos de son célèbre père, et qui ont pu être éditées ici pour la première fois grâce aux autographes. / [Toutes les Oeuvres pour Piano, volume II] / Classique / Partition / Cartonné / Plats de carton /
