Schumann, Robert: Abegg variations F major op. 1

Par SCHUMANN ROBERT. In 1925, Breitkopf & Härtel approached the young pianist Wilhelm Kempff to prepare Clara Schumann’s “Instructive Edition” of her husband’s works for the new engraving. “[…] The comparison with the autograph and the Urtext edition [First Schumann Complete Edition], the results of the Schumann research, the modern principles of notation – all of this would have to be taken into account in the new engraving and could lead to a significant improvement in the edition without compromising the spirit of editing by Clara Schumann. ” The present edition thus conveys the reading of one of the most important pianists of the twentieth century, which we make fully accessible intime for the 200th birthday of Clara Schumann. Contents: op. 1 Abegg-Variations in F major op. 2 Papillons op. 3 Studies on Caprices by Paganini op. 4 Intermezzi for piano op. 5 Impromptus on a Romance by Clara Wieck (1st version 1833) op. 5 Impromptus on a Theme by Clara Wieck (2nd version 1850) op. 6 Davidsbuendlertaenze (1st version 1837) op. 6 Davidsbuendlertaenze (2nd version 1850) op. 7 Toccata in C major op. 8 Allegro in B minor / Date parution : 2019-10-24/ Répertoire / Piano
