Sonata In A Minor ( Arpeggione ), D. 821

Franz Schubert’s Sonata in A minor D. 821 was originally written for piano and arpeggione an instrument of the 1820s combining features of the guitar and the cello. This instrument was in use for just a short period of time so that the composition has now become standard repertoire for cello and piano and this is the version presented here. A handwritten violin part in the hand of Anton Diabelli kept by the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris however shows that the sonata’s arpeggione part was initially arranged for violin long before the first print in 1871 introduced the well-known version for cello and piano. WienerUrtext also publishes Diabelli’s arrangement for violin and piano in a separate edition. Both editions are essentially based on Schubert’s autograph the cello part in principle relies on the first printed edition of 1871 the violin part is based on Diabelli’s arrangement. 

Sonata In A Minor D 821 'Arpeggione' arranged for Clarinet & Piano.This volume is based on the Urtext of the New Schubert Edition; the solo part has been arranged for performance on the clarinet while the Piano part is identical to Schubert´s original as presented in the New Schubert Edition.The New Schubert Edition is a scholarly-critical complete edition reflecting current knowledge of the sources and the latest research findings. It is thus indispensable for the study and authentic performance of Schubert's music.

Encouragé par le succès de sa version de Schubert Arpeggione Sonata enregistrées sur CD avec le soliste, David Geringas, Heribert Breuer présente aujourd'hui un autre arrangement pour l'instrumentation même, à savoir le violoncelle Sonate #1 opus 38 de Johannes Brahms. En raison de sa texture distinctement polyphonique, cette composition qui, à l'égard du thème, retombe sur l'Art de Fugue de Bach, dans les mouvements externes semblait idéale pour attiser sur la partie de piano au spectre sonore des six instruments plutôt variables. Surtout la fugue concluant le travail évoque l'impression d'une 'Symphonie de chambre' dans lequel la structure compositionnelle est beaucoup plus clairement audible que ce qui est possible dans la version originale. / Violoncelle, Quintette A Vent Et Contrebasse
