Johannes Brahms: Symphony No.1 In C Minor Op.68: Orchestra: Miniature Score

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.

Brahms was known to be extremely careful when composing his music. When he decided to compose a symphony he wanted to be sure to exceed the standard that had been set by Beethoven. His first symphony completed in 1876 when he was 43 years old took several years to complete because of his attention to detail. This arrangement of the theme from the finale highlight the long flowing nature of Brahms’ melodies. A real treat for any band.

from Symphony No. 1-« Vingt ans de réflexion quatorze années de création et l?attente d?une vie ». C?est ainsi que l?on peut résumer la Symphonie n° 1 qui eut une gestation particulièrement longue. Commencée en 1854 peu après la rencontre de Brahms avec Schumann elle ne sera reprise et menée à bien qu?à l?automne 1876. Elle se compose de quatre mouvements de construction classique. Andrew Watkin a réalisé un arrangement de l?Allegro extrait du premier mouvement. Le climat est sombre mais d?une grande profondeur sonore. Les courbes sont fluides et souples. Du grand classique à la portée des plus jeunes !

Symphony no. 2 D major op. 73-Lorsqu?il composa sa premi?re symphonie Brahms ?tait encore largement influenc? par l??uvre de Beethoven. Mais ce n??tait plus le cas pour la deuxi?me qui s?en d?marque tr?s nettement. Le principe de traitement des motifs ne se cantonne plus uniquement au d?veloppement mais s??tend ? tout le premier mouvement. Dans les mouvements suivants tout semble d?ailleurs aussi ?tre apparent?. La cr?ation de cette symphonie dans la salle du Musikverein de Vienne fut pour Brahms l?un des plus grands triomphes de son existence qu?il d?crivit avec enthousiaste: ?L?orchestre ici a r?p?t? et jou? avec passion et m?a f?licit? comme cela ne m?est encore jamais arriv?.? Gr?ce ? cette partitiond??tude les chefs d?orchestre ?tudiants et passionn?s de Brahms pourront appr?cier la partition tir?e de l??dition compl?te des ?uvres de Brahms (?galement parue chez G. Henle) en version urtext dans un petit format facile ? manier. Dans la pr?face l??diteur et sp?cialiste de Brahms Robert Pascall apporte des informations int?ressantes sur la gen?se et l?histoire de l??dition de cette ?uvre.
