Prelude. Composed by Richard Wagner. The Virtuoso Piano Transcription Series. Downloadable. Op. 6. Duration 10 minutes. Schott Music - Digital #Q17510. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q17510).

With the prelude to the Mastersingers we now publish the second of three Wagner transcriptions already made legendary by Gould's 1973 recording. Gould brought Wagner's 'brilliant counterpoint' to life with the help of recording technology, by superimposing a second, supplementary part over an initial recording. For live performances it is therefore preferable to have two pianists playing the piece on two pianos, rather than the piano solo version which is made possible with some cuts.

Den "glanzvollen Kontrapunkt" Wagners realisierte Gould mit Hilfe der Aufnahmetechnik, indem er eine erste Aufnahme mit einem ergänzenden zweiten Teil überblendete. Für Aufführungen ist daher eine Ausführung an zwei Klavieren zu vier Händen einer mit Abstrichen möglichen Realisierung zu zwei Händen vorzuziehen.
