Edition no.: BA9640 ISMN: 9790006539635 Editor: Stüwe, Holger M. Language(s) of text: German, English Product format: Performance score(s), Anthology, Urtext edition Includes the following individual parts: Piano Binding: Stapled Pages / Format: XV, 30 Seiten - 31,0 x 24,3 cm Schumann’s Forest Scenes op. 82 date from the years 1848/49. This was the composer’s most creative period but one which was marked by revolutionary unrest and political uncertainty. As well as choral compositions and major dramatic works including the opera Genoveva and Manfred Schumann created the intimate piano cycle Forest Scenes, inspired by illustrations of the same theme. The last to be written was the wistful-filigree Vogel als Prophet (no. 7), probably the best-known piece in the cycle. The pieces of moderate technical difficulty are enchanting in their song-like poetry, and are a jewel of domestic music-making from the Romantic period. “Vogel als Prophet” and “Herberge” have been printed using a fold-out page so that no page-turns are necessary. Scenes from Childhood op. 15 (BA 9639) and Forest Scenes op. 82 (BA 9640) are being published in scholarly-critical Urtext editions, reflecting the latest state of research. These are two of Schumann’s most popular piano cycles which are highly ranked in Romantic piano literature. The fingering takes contemporary performing practise as well as playing on the modern concert grand piano into consideration. - Urtext editions based on all available sources and reflecting the latest research findings - With fingering and suggestions for performance by Ragna Schirmer - With detailed foreword (Ger/Eng) and critical commentary (Eng) The leading German pianist Ragna Schirmer has earned an outstanding reputation, not only by winning the Leipzig Bach Competition twice but also for receiving numerous awards including two ECHO-Klassik prizes. She has long had a special interest in historical performance practice on modern instruments, reflected most recently in her highly-praised complete recording of the keyboard suites by George Frideric Handel. As well as an international performing career, Ragna Schirmer is currently a professor at the Mannheim University of Music and the specialist school Latina August Hermann Francke in Halle. Robert and Clara Schumann’s compositions feature at the centre of Ragna Schirmer’s work and she has recorded Robert Schumann’s Variations on a theme by Beethoven and Symphonic Studies on CD. Her concerts which she plays on Clara Schumann’s original Grotrian grand piano of 1879 have given her important insights into practical performing issues. She has now incorporated these into her studies of Clara’s fingering of Schumann’s Scenes from Childhood op. 15 and Forest Scenes op. 82.

On the 200th anniversary of Robert Schumann's birth, an ambitious project is coming to a close: For the first time since Clara Schumann's Complete Edition of 1879–93, all of the works for piano solo are appearing as one editorial project. Spanning almost ten years of painstaking work, all of the Schumann titles published by G. Henle Publishers have undergone a careful revision. The Schumann expert Ernst Herttrich has closely examined each edition and also dedicated himself to those works that were previously missing from our catalogue. Arranged clearly according to opus numbers, it includes not only all of Schumann's piano works, revised to reflect the latest scholarly findings, but also informative accompanying texts, alternative versions and much more besides. Contents: Faschingsschwank aus Wien op. 26; 3 Romanzen op. 28; Scherzo, Gigue, Romanze und Fughette op. 32; Album für die Jugend op. 68 ; Vier Fugen op. 72; Vier Märsche op. 76; Waldszenen op. 82.
