Six Sonatas: Nos. 1-3

No genre reflects Skrjabin?s artistic evolution more vividly than his piano sonatas. Sonatas Nos. 6, 7 and 8 which are presented in this edition were written between 1911 and 1913, at times contemporaneously with the late Sonatas Nos. 9 and 10. All autographs and printed sources including Skrjabin?s sketches and drafts have been thoroughly evaluated. The edition presents a meticulously edited musical text offering new readings and is supplemented by an informative Preface on the sonatas? genesis and significance (Ger/Eng). The Critical Commentary (Eng) provides information on alternative readings and editorial decisions. An elegant well-presented engraving with practical page-turns rounds off this edition at the cutting edge of musical scholarship.

Beethoven Complete Piano Sonatas Volume III. Edited by Harold Craxton. Annotated by Donald Francis Tovey.

Complete Piano Sonatas I-The Piano Sonatas are regarded as the central works of Alexander Scriabin’s compositional output. No other composer after Beethoven reshaped this genre so radically thereby reinvigorating the tradition of the sonata. Scriabin’s desire not simply to continue the existing tradition but to surpass it is evident as early as his first sonatas. These are exciting works from the pianist’s perspective and in their abundance of expression and wealth of imagination. Up to the third sonata Scriabin developed a distinctive feeling for structural coherence and cyclical unity which at the same time revealed poetic qualities.Thisvolume contains the earlier works; sonatas officially published during the composer’s lifetime as No. 1 op. 6 No. 2 (Sonate-Fantaisie) op. 19 and No. 3 op. 23 as well as the sonatas written during his youth in G-sharp minor (1886) and E-flat minor (1887-89). The edition also includes the virtually unknown fragment of a sonata in C-sharp minor (1887) and the reconstructed parts of a sonata in G-sharp minor (1892) never previously published.The editor Christoph Flamm draws on autograph manuscripts first printed editions and on Russian editions of the 1920s. For the first time the recordings of Sonatas nos. 2 and 3 which Scriabin made in 1908 on paper rolls for the Hupfeld company Leipzig are also taken into account.- Urtext edition reflecting the latest scholarship and taking previously unknown sources into account.- Includes all fragmentary works some published for the first time.- Detailed foreword Ger/Eng) and critical commentary (Eng).

This collection of Sonatas For Piano contains Prokofiev?s Sonatas Nos. 6-9 i.e. Opp. 82 83 84 and 103. The three ?War Sonatas? (Opp. 83-4) were written between 1940 and 1944 while No. 9 was finished in 1947 just after the war. They were among the last works he completed before the infamous Zhdanov Doctrine was implemented which severely restricted his artistic freedom. Serge Prokofiev (1891-1953) was a Ukrainian-born Soviet composer pianist and conductor. He is best remembered for his 1936 children?s theatrical work Peter And The Wolf but he also wrote several operas symphonies ballets and concertos. He was a leading figure in the Neoclassical movement; his dissonant harmonies and virtuosic style frequently shocked audiences and helped establish him as one of the foremost composers of his generation.

With notes on performance practice by Jonathan Del Mar and Misha Donat-Bärenreiter continues its Urtext edition of the complete Beethoven Piano sonatas. They begin with the frequently played Op.2 Sonatas (Nos. 1-3) (BA10859) which stem from his early yet mature oeuvre when he was developing an independent style from the legacy of Mozart and Haydn. They then proceed to the lyrical D major Sonata Op.28 (BA11814) from his middle period (nicknamed ?Pastorale? by the publisher of the original edition) and finally to the Sonata Op.101 (BA11811) Beethoven?s first sonata specifically intended for the ?hammerklavier? and the one that introduced his esoteric late style to the Piano sonatas.The acclaimed Beethovenspecialist Jonathan Del Mar has consulted every known source for these critical Urtext performing editions. In addition he has analysed various copies of the prints published during Beethoven?s lifetime.The results of his accurate research are presented in a meticulously edited musical text at the cutting edge of scholarship together with a detailed Critical Commentary.All volumes stand out in terms of their elegant and well-presented layout.

Nos. 1-6. Par PURCELL HENRY. Format: ETP small/ Répertoire / 2 Violons, Basse et Basse Continue

Scriabin's 7th Piano Sonata is amongst the late sonatas nos. 6-10, conceived as preliminary studies for a Gesamtkunstwerk of enormous proportions, the 'Mysterium?. The mystic aura of the 7th Sonata is communicated to the player not least through the ecstatic performance directions contained in the autograph and the first edition. This and a great deal more can be seen in Scriabin's manuscript for the sonata, which we are presenting in a high-class facsimile in 2015, Scriabin Year. It is hard to believe how clearly and neatly the composer wrote this extremely complex music. The preface by the expert Valentina Rubcova provides an ideal guide for a journey of discovery through Scriabin's esoteric musical world. / Piano

Piano Sonata no. 10 op. 70-Scriabin's Tenth Sonata was composed at the same time as the two Sonatas Nos. 8 and 9 in winter 1912/13. It was probably finished at the latest in June 1913. According to Leonid Sabanejev's reminiscences Scriabin had alreadyperformed parts of the sonata to friends in spring 1913 saying that 'he had succeeded in simplifying the harmonies without destroying the Sonata's psychological complexity.' Following the first performance in Moscow a reviewerwrote: 'The Tenth Sonata must be counted amongst Scriabin’s most inspiring works [...] It is as if it were hewn out of a piece of granite: one can neither leave out a stroke nor add one - it is so strict and logical in itsentirety.'

Nos. 19 And 20 Op. 49. Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. revised edition of cor 56 / Niveau : Facile / Gertsch, Norbert / Perahia, Murray / Répertoire / Piano

Beethoven wrote 32 sonatas for piano. Volume 1, edited by Stewart Gordon, includes the first 8 sonatas (Op. 2, Nos. 1-3; Op. 7; Op. 10, Nos. 1-3; and Op. 13 [Pathtique]), written between 1795 and 1799. Since these autographs no longer exist, this edition is based on the first editions, published by various Viennese engravers. Dr. Gordon discusses a variety of topics including Beethoven's life; the pianos of his time and their limitations; Beethoven's use of articulation, ornamentation, tempo; and the age-old challenge of attempting to determine the definitive interpretation of Beethoven's music. Valuable performance recommendations, helpful fingering suggestions and ornament realizations are offered in this comprehensive critical body of Beethoven's sonatas. Where performance options are open to interpretation, other editors' conclusions are noted, enabling students and teachers to make informed performance decisions.
