Johannes Brahms: Variations On Theme Haydn Op. 56A: Wind Ensemble: Instrumental

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.

Johannes Brahms showed an interest in the music of previous epochs at an early age. In this context he also came across the variation theme of George Frideric Handel which in turn inspired him to write an extensive work of variations for the Piano. The new edition of the Wiener Urtext Edition is based on a meticulous comparison of autographs first edition and personal copies. Brahms' autograph copy served as an essential corrective; subsequent corrections of the composer in the personal copy of Max Kalbeck were taken into account as well. Changes in tempo and indications of expression of Brahms' first version until the first edition allowconclusions about the composer's interpretational ideas; they are analysed in the notes of interpretation. The clear and readily legible notation makes this edition a convenient basis for studying this masterpiece.

It is uncertain whether the chorale theme of 'Haydn Variations' is actually by Haydn. It is certain however that the Variations are characteristic of Brahms' mature orchestral style and his strict sense of form.With 'Academic Ouverture' the composer expressed his thanks to the University of Breslau for giving him an honorary doctorate. Although the 'brooding' 'Tragic Ouverture' which had originally been intended for this purpose seemed no longer appropriate to Brahms for that occasion it has always been a resounding success since its world premiere.
