Johannes Brahms: Symphony No.4 In E Minor Op.98: 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.

The organ part and reduced score Symphony No. 4 - An Organ Symphony (2008) by Poul Ruders. Full score: WH31186 Orch. parts are available on hire: hire@ewh.dk Preface / Programme Note When introducing a large-scale symphonic work not only as a symphony but as an organ symphony it would be impossible not to think of and perhaps compare it with Camille Saint-Saëns’s famous SYMPHONY NO. 3 popularly known as the Organ Symphony. Well that is a risk I am prepared to take – and live with the consequences.Saint-Saëns however listed his work as a symphony avec/withorgan. The organ only appears in two out of the four sections of thepiece. In my symphony the instrument plays a far more significant part and is featured in all four movements. But it is not a concerto for organ and orchestra rather a symphony with organo obligato - a symphony with an organ part of a soloistic nature. So an Organ Symphony it is. The first movement PRELUDE is exactly that: a foreplay to what is in store for the rest of the symphony. It is slow (very slow!) and predominantly hushed: the organ and the orchestra wake up side-by-side getting to know one another.The second movement CORTÈGE is a slowly moving processional and it evokes extreme solemnity and austerity. Later on the music takes flight and the atmosphere lightens considerably a far more playful music emerging.This leads to the third movement ETUDE an exercise in instrumental virtuosity and technical challenge.The fourth and last movement is called CHACONNE but I could just as well have named it passacaglia (the definition of those two terms seems to blur even among the learned). Bearing in mind the last movement of Johannes Brahms´s SYMPHONY NO.4 which is universally agreed on as being a passacaglia I chose to avoid the Wrath of the Gods and opted for

Arrangement for Piano Fourhands-In the 19th century arrangements for Piano four-hands were usually versions which people played at home if the works could not be heard in concert. In cases such as these Brahms did not however just make functional versions butcreatively transcribed his works for the piano. As the composer he allowed himself greater freedom than arrangers for publishers did. In this form his arrangements greatly contributed to the success of his works in musical life inthe 19th century. It is on account of their creativity that Brahms’ arrangements have attracted new interest in musical circles over the last few decades. This Urtext edition of the Symphonies nos. 1 and 2 for piano four handsoffers a scholarly musical text following the recently published volume in the Brahms Complete Edition.

26 Arrangements for the Beginning Pianist-Suitable for beginning pianists of all ages this volume features 26 simplified versions of longer pieces by the great Johannes Brahms in order of increasing difficulty.Selections include the famous 'Lullaby' as well as the theme from 'Academic Festival Overture' and 'Hungarian Dance No.5'. Additional melodies include themes from the composer's quintet and concertos for Piano 'Variations on a theme by Haydn ' and other pieces.

L?histoire de la genèse de la 4e Symphonie remonte probablement aux années 1870, alors que Brahms travaillait sur la cantate de Bach «Nach dir, Herr, verlanget mich», dont le thème de la chaconne préfigure la cellule du final.

Autour du 29 août 1885, Brahms écrivit à Hans von Bülow depuis Mürzzuschlag dans le Steiermark: «J?ai là quelques entr?actes ? ce que l?on a coutume de réunir sous le nom de symphonie. [?] Je crains [?] qu?elle a le goût du climat local ? ici les cerises ne mûrissent pas.» Aucune trace de cerises «amères» dans cette symphonie. L?oeuvre est aujourd?hui un des sommets de la symphonie classique-romantique.
