Johannes Brahms : Piano Works, Volume II (incl. Op. 119 and 5 Etudes)

Sonata WoO postum for Violin and Piano-Edited by Clive Brown and Neal Peres Da Costa with an Urtext solo part as well as a second part with performance markings.Johannes Brahms The Works for one Instrument and Piano:Johannes Brahms? compositions for one instrument and Piano have been standards in chamber music literature ever since their inception. These works were written with specific performers in mind and Brahms worked closely with them when refining the final texts. Nevertheless we rarely approach the music taking into consideration the possibilities of the instruments for which Brahms wrote or the performing practices of the individual playerswho first performed these compositions including Brahms himself.The New Urtext Editions:Bärenreiter?s pioneering new scholarly-critical editions of Brahms? works for one instrument and Piano are edited by a team of musicologists who are also performers. They offer today?s musicians not just a reliable musical text based on all known sources but also a comprehensive approach to the works which aims to place them in their historical context and to elucidate the complex of meanings that the composer wished his notation to convey to performers.In addition to the musical text these editions offer an informative Introduction laying out the genesis publication history and reception of the works. At the same time there is a complete list of the sources an explanation of the editorial procedures and a Critical Commentary. Also each volume contains a detailed discussion of specific performing practice issues raised by individual works.An integral part of Bärenreiter?s Brahms publication complex is a text booklet which approaches general performance practice issues of the 19th century with regard to e.g. tempo rubato rhythmic flexibility and articulation. Furthermore musicians will find valuable information concerning vibrato portamento and bowing. Last but not least characteristics of Brahms? own Piano playing as well as that of his circle and contemporaries are discussed.The Violin and Viola sonata editions come not only with an Urtext part freed from all editorial emendations but also with an

Johannes Brahms’s Piano Quintet is not only one of the mightiest works in its genre but also a climax in his chamber music oeuvre. This new volume adopts the definitive text from the New CompleteEdition of Brahms’s Works.

The piano pieces opp. 116-119 were written in 1892/93 and are the last collections of pieces which Brahms wrote for the instrument. Particularly noteworthy is his use of the 'small form' accompanied by a heightened increase in musical expression compared to his earlier works.Clara Schumann probably the secret dedicatee of the Piano pieces wrote in her diary in November 1892: 'a true source of enjoyment everything poetry passion fantasy intimacy full of the most marvellous sound effects [...] In these pieces I finally feel musical life drawn into my soul again and play once more with true devotion.'A renewed critical evaluation of all known sources hasresulted in small deviations from previous readings.Johannes Brahms's most frequently performed piano pieces now available in high quality Bärenreiter Urtext editionsEvaluation of all available sourcesReflecting the latest state of researchAvailable separately:Fantasies Op.116 (BA9628)Three Intermezzi Op.117 (BA9629)Piano Pieces Op.119 (BA9631)

Brahms? popular 16 ?Waltzes? opus 39 composed in 1866 for four hands were transcribed by Brahms one year later for two hands. At the request of his publisher Brahms also wrote an easier version of the work for solo piano. Brahms himself described the first version as suitable for 'reasonable hands' that is for proficient players and the easier version as 'perhaps for prettier hands' that is for domestic music-making. He initially described the latter version to his publisher as a 'children?s edition'. The catchy and musically easily accessible pieces are among the composer?s most popular works and are particularly suitable for piano students and lovers of the Romanticrepertoire.Both versions of the ?Waltzes? op. 39 (BA 9602 BA 9603) are available in separate editions and form an important contribution to Bärenreiter?s series of Brahms?s works in scholarly-critical Urtext editions. Both editions include fingering a well-presented musical layout and optimum page-turns. The Urtext editions are complemented by explanations on performance practice used by Brahms an informative foreword on the genesis sources and significance of the works together with comments on the primary sources.A key work in the Romantic piano repertoireAll known sources and the latest research findings taken into accountWell-presented musical layout with optimum page-turnsIncludes fingeringSuggestions on performance practice and interpretation (Ger/Eng)Informative foreword (Ger/Eng) and critical commentary (Eng)The EditorChristian Köhn has been awarded several scholarships as well as winning major international music competitions in Germany.He has released 24 CDs to date including the first ever complete recording of the piano duo works of Johannes Brahms.

Johannes Brahms?s Piano Sonatas opp. 1 2 and 5 were among the first works that the 20-year-old composer published. They were composed in 1852/53 although the Sonata in f-sharp minor was apparently the first of the three to becomposed as it was finished by November 1852. This work has a special place in his oeuvre. Besides its passionate atmosphere his contemporaries discerned it to be ?serious and dignified in character?. Brahms dedicated thissonata to Clara Schumann whose husband Robert wrote to the composer that ?Your second sonata my friend has brought me much closer to you?. The ingenious fingerings have been provided by the pianist Andreas Boyde a recognisedBrahms expert.

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.

a minor op. 114-Johannes Brahms?s late chamber works are surely among the most splendid music ever written for the clarinet. In the last years of his life Brahms seems to have become weary of composing but fortunately for posterity in 1891 hemet the solo clarinettist of the Meiningen court orchestra Richard Mühlfeld whose mellifluous art of performance captivated him and inspired him to new works. The Trio op. 114 is melancholy and autumnal in character and isloved by all clarinettists. It is now available from Henle in a revised edition. Brahms?s manuscript of his op. 114 lies in Munich the home city of G. Henle Publishers. The musical text follows that of the New Brahms CompleteEdition and thus guarantees the highest degree of precision and reflects the current state of research. The pianist Klaus Schilde has added valuable fingerings to this Urtext edition.

Many believe that even if Johannes Brahms had not composed his German Requiem the Song of Destiny would still have placed him among the first rank of composers for Orchestra and Chorus. Shorter than the Requiem the Song of Destiny is composed in three movements for SATB Chorus on an unfinished work by Friedrich H lderlin. The work is widely loved and frequently performed and recorded.The Rev John Troutbeck the translator of the German original into English for this edition was a minor canon at Westminster Abbey as well as a gifted linguist who created translations of works for most of the great Choral works of the 19th century. Several of his translations havepersisted as the only English versions of their works for more than a century beyond his death in 1899.

These 51 exercises “for the Pianoforte” were published in 1893 by Brahms. Ever since they have been regarded as key exercises custom made for developing the smooth pianistic technique that is an essential requirement for a successful performance of Brahms’ and others Piano works. For many pianists these intelligent exercises have become an indispensable part of their daily routine. In addition to the well-known exercises there is an appendix with a further 29 studies few of which have been published before. This volume in the Wiener Urtext Edition therefore represents a significant addition to the canon of exercisesfor the more ambitious pianist. Peter Rogenkamp’s notes supply information and suggestions for the most beneficial use of the studies in teaching and daily practice.
