Edvard Grieg: Sonata In E Minor Op.7: Piano: Instrumental Work

Arranged after the Piano Sonata by Martin Schmeding-Having been sceptical towards the church and religion all his life Edvard Grieg composed only a few works with sacred influence. There exist some study fugues from his student days which are reminiscent of an organ performance.This arrangement of the Piano Sonata in E minor Opus 7 is based on the original text. Every arrangement should aim at creating a balance between the original musical text and the possibilities of the chosen instrument while the composer strives for the greatest possible approximation to the original and at the same time to a setting suitable for the Organ.This not only requires the distribution of notes on manuals andpedals but also small adjustments in the musical text in order to make for example Piano pedal effects or figurations sound convincing on the Organ.

This Henle Urtext Edition contains Edvard Grieg's Sonata in A Minor Op.36 and a selection of other works all for Cello and Piano.

Of Grieg?s three Violin sonatas the great C-minor Sonata op. 45 is the best known today. And unjustly so because the two early sonatas are captivating in their joy to play and their fresh youthful tone. And what is more they can also be played by advanced students due to their somewhat lesser technical demands. Written in 1867 the G-major Violin Sonata op. 13 palpably draws on Grieg?s enthusiasm for Norwegian folk music; the lively outer movements in particular take as their model the traditional ?jumping dance.? Aside from the second print edition of 1887 revised by Grieg himself the autograph manuscript in Stockholm wasalso consulted for this edition thus offering an optimally ascertained musical text.

Instrumentation : 2Pf/4h Edition in accordance with Edvard Grieg: Complete Works (volume 7) edited by the Edvard Grieg Committee, Oslo

Grieg?s third Violin Sonata is one of his major creations and stands alongside the sonatas of Johannes Brahms and César Franck at the pinnacle of late nineteenth century chamber music. One small measure of the work?srenown is its occurrence in Thomas Mann?s novel 'Doktor Faustus'. The sonata has been growing more popular ever since its first publication and it is now high time for it to appear in an urtext edition from Henle. A preface anddetailed editorial notes provide interesting background material on the work?s source tradition.
