The early sonatas. Par SCHUBERT FRANZ. Schubert was visibly adventurous in his early piano sonatas, as is apparent in their wide-ranging key schemes, diverging versions of many movements or entire sonatas, and numerous works left incomplete. This revised Urtext edition contains the sonatas he composed between 1815 and 1817. An updated preface and valuable notes on central questions of performance practice (e.g. articulation, pedalling and embellishments), with a special emphasis on his idiosyncratic treatment of accent-like diminuendo hairpins, form a useful introduction to the sonatas. Schubert?s drafts and fragments can be accessed on the Bärenreiter website. - Urtext edition based on the ?New Schubert Edition?, with drafts and fragments accessible on the Bärenreiter website (see BA 9642: Extras) - Reader-friendly engraving with practical page-turns and running titles to facilitate the location of sonatas and movements - Valuable notes on performance practice in Schubert?s day (Ger/Eng) - Critical Commentary with readings relevant to performance, especially regarding Schubert?s notation of accents (Eng) / Date parution : 2022-07-30/ Recueil / Piano

With the new Urtext Primo series, the Wiener Urtext Edition wants to close the gap arising at the point of transition to additional lessons after having studied a piano method. Beginning with a performance level which is outlined by pieces such as Bach's Minuet in G (BWV Anh. 116), Mozart's Minuet in F (KV 5) or Schumann's Wilder Reiter (Op. 68/8), each volume contains works by three different composers, with the aim of offering piano pupils (or even adults who want to resume piano playing) a wide range of repertoire pieces on the basis of which they can enhance their technical and musical skills. In contrast to conventional piano anthologies, the pieces' range of levels of difficulty is relatively narrow so that the volume can be used continuously over a period of about two years. The selected repertoire takes into account not only pieces of the classic canon of lessons, but also lesser known works which are in no way of less importance for piano lessons. The explanations included at the end of each volume shall help to deepen the knowledge of musical styles, music history and piano playing. A repertoire chart at the end of each volume gives a rough overview of the levels of difficulty of the selected pieces.After Vol. 1 with works by Bach, Handel and Scarlatti and Vol. 2 with compositions by Haydn, Mozart and Cimarosa, Vol. 3 contains pieces by Beethoven, Schubert und Hummel, including popular pieces such as Beethoven's 'Für Elise' and lesser known, yet stimulating settings by Johann Nepomuk Hummel. / Piano

Op. Post. 147 - D 575. Par SCHUBERT FRANZ. La Sonate en Si majeur fait partie des premières Sonates pour piano de Schubert. Composée en août 1817, elle ne fut cependant publiée que longtemps après sa mort. La tonalité inusitée à son époque témoigne de la juvénile envie d?expérimentation de Schubert; de la même manière et la même année sont ainsi nées également des sonates en Ré bémol majeur, La bémol majeur et fa dièse mineur. Les surprenantes modulations ainsi que les abrupts changements de caractère entre passages lyriques et explosions dramatiques sont typiquement schubertiens. Le manuscrit autographe de la partition ayant disparu, cette édition repose sur les esquisses autographes ainsi que sur des copies provenant de l?entourage du compositeur. La préface rédigée par l?experte de Schubert Andrea Lindmayr-Brandl ainsi que toute la partie de remarques et commentaires fournissent des renseignements détaillés sur l?origine de l??uvre, les sources ainsi que leurs variantes. Un autre point fort réside dans les doigtés du pianiste Martin Helmchen. / Date parution : 2023-03-11/ Répertoire / Piano

Les Impromptus de Franz Schubert op. 90 (D 899) font partie des oeuvres les plus jouées de Franz Schubert et ont leur place de droit dans les programmes du cours et du concert. L'Édition Wiener Urtext (texte original) présente maintenant une nouvelle version revue sous les aspects les plus actuels de la recherche et de l'interprétation pratique. L'édition précise le texte par de nombreux détails, des problèmes de base comme celui de la distinction entre accents et signes de decrescendo, ou bien la question de l'assimilation de rythmes pointés à des triolets, sont résolus en prenant appui sur le manuscrit schubertien original de façon nouvelle et non dogmatique.Pages : 56Niveau : avancéop. 90 / Piano / Wiener Urtext Edition

Edited from the sources by Jochen Reutter-Franz Schubert's scherzos were right at the beginning of a development that in the course of the 19th century resulted in the separation of the scherzo from the sonata and its emancipation as an independent Piano piece. These traces become apparent in the three pieces compiled in this volume: the two popular Scherzos in B flat major and D flat major (D 593) and the Scherzo in D major (D 570) which has survived together with an allegro fragment in the composer's autograph. With its pleasantly flowing melody its typically Schubertian harmony and the modest technical demands this piece might soon outrank its well-known sister work in B flat major.

Par SCHUBERT FRANZ. Prepared from the composerÂ’s autograph manuscript, Brian NewbouldÂ’s authoritative new performing edition of SchubertÂ’s celebratory 'Magnificat' brings this little-known masterpiece to light. A short, perfectly crafted setting, written by the young composer in 1815, it provides the ideal concert opener or partner to other more extended concert works. A vocal score is also available (0-571-52010-3)/ Recueil / Piano, Chant et Guitare

New Liszt Edition III Vol. 1. Par LISZT FRANZ. Composed in 1834, Liszt's Grand duo is based on material from three pieces from the first book (op. 19b) of Mendelssohn's Songs without Words (no. 1 in E major, no. 6 in G minor, and no. 3 in A major). While Liszt made an almost literal transcription of the first piece, he gave the second and third pieces a much freer arrangement, in the style of concert paraphrases. The large-scale concert piece was premiered by Liszt and Chopin on Christmas Day 1834 in a salon in Paris. The Grand duo was not published in Liszt's lifetime, and has survived as a draft. Schubert's Fantasy in C major (also known as the 'Wanderer' Fantasy) was a defining musical experience for the young Liszt. He arranged this masterpiece of Romantic piano literature for piano and orchestra in 1851, at the beginning of his Weimar period, and it was premiered by Julius Egghard in Vienna in December of that year. By 1855, Liszt had transcribed this arrangement for two pianos, because it was played on 22 October 1855 at a concert held in Weimar in honour of his birthday. With the version for piano and orchestra, Liszt attuned the fantasy to the requirements of the concert hall, reinforcing the orchestral effects inherent in Schubert's composition. His aim with the two-piano version was to achieve a similarly grand effect in spaces too small for an orchestra. The arrangement for piano and orchestra appeared in print in 1857, followed by the two-piano version in 1862. This volume comes complete with a detailed preface in English, German, and Hungarian containing new research findings, several manuscript facsimiles, and a critical report in English. / Date parution : 2023-03-11/ Répertoire / 2 Pianos

Par SCHUBERT FRANZ. L'impromptu est une composition instrumentale, censée écrite 'in promptu', improvisée. Le terme impromptu apparaît pour la première fois dans les oeuvres de Jan Vaclac (Hugo) Vôrisek (1791-1825, les Impromptus Opus 7 publiés en 1822). Schubert reprend ce titre et nous présente des Pièces de caractère lyrique très structurées: D935/1 Mouvement de forme Sonate très libre - D 935 / 2 Menuet un peu lent entrecoupé d'un Trio agité - D 935 / 3 Variations sur le Thème de l'entracte du 4o acte de la Musique de Scène de Rosamunde - D 933 / 4 Danse endiablée inspirée de l'Europe Centrale. De Schubert, Schumann écrivait 'Il a des sons pour les impressions les plus délicates, les pensées, même pour les différentes situations de l'existence. Quelque nombreux que soient les pensées et les efforts de l'homme, la musique de Schubert répond à toutes ces diversités' Schubert, musicien de l'âme, de l'amour, des clairs-obscurs. Les manuscrits autographes et Editions originales disponibles à ce jour, nous ont permis de réaliser un texte qui répond fidèlement aux intentions du compositeur. Schubert a souvent noté incomplètement les liaisons: nous avons rétabli les omissions du compositeur, elles paraissent entre parenthèses. Il en est de même pour certaines accentuations (points, tirets, accents, etc.). En bas de page sont conseillées certaines interprétations d'ornements (grupetto, appogiatures, etc.). / Niveau : Elémentaire / classique / Répertoire / Piano

Par SCHUBERT FRANZ. Rien ne laisse deviner à l?auditeur de la gaie Sonate en Mi bémol majeur que Schubert a dû longuement lutter pour en établir sa version définitive. Les premières esquisses ? alors en trois mouvements et dans la tonalité de Ré bémol majeur ? remontent à 1817; Schubert n?achèvera pourtant la sonate que peu de temps avant sa mort. Elle paraîtra à titre posthume en 1829. La Sonate en Mi bémol majeur est l?une des sonates pour piano les moins connues de Schubert. C?est pourtant une ?uvre d?un lyrisme enchanteur, qui naît de nuances nombreuses et délicates, du renoncement à un dramatisme spectaculaire (tous les mouvements s?achèvent dans la retenue) et d?une métrique fluide, à trois temps, dans les premier et dernier mouvements. Une seule et unique «longueur céleste» ... L?avant-propos d?Andrea Lindmayr-Brand, spécialiste de Schubert, et les remarques particulières détaillées fournissent de nombreuses informations sur la genèse de l??uvre, les sources et les variantes. Les doigtés de Martin Helmchen, interprète réputé de Schubert, constituent un autre point fort de la présente édition. / Date parution : 2022-04-05/ Répertoire / Piano

G Major Op. 78 D 894-Schubert?s tuneful and buoyant Sonata in G major was published in April 1827 as a ?Fantasy or Sonata? to quote the heading of its first movement. His first reviewer noted that ?the beloved and talented Lieder composer has presented the music world with a fantasy in which he lets his inventiveness loose. He presents the pianist with a harmonic indulgence without however amassing too many difficulties to complicate the execution?.Our scholarly-critical Urtext edition based on the definitive New Schubert Edition presents the sonata in a spacious new engraving with practical page turns. The work is introduced by an updated Foreword (Ger/Eng) and detailednotes on key questions of performance practice e.g. pedalling and Schubert?s characteristic way of writing accents. Rounding off the edition is a Critical Commentary (Eng) containing alternative readings of relevance to the performer. Schubert?s rejected initial version of the second movement can be accessed via the Barenreiter website.- Scholarly-critical Urtext editions based on the New Schubert Edition- Spacious new engravings with practical page turns- Detailed notes on historical performance practice (Ger/Eng)- Updated Forewords (Ger/Eng) and Critical Commentaries (Eng)- Schubert?s rejected versions of individual movements accessible online

The Fantasie in C major Op. 15 popularly known as the Wanderer Fantasy is a four-movement fantasy for solo Piano composed by Franz Schubert?in 1822. The whole work is based on one single basic motive from the lied ?The Wanderer? and the four movements are played without a break.?It is widely considered to be?Schubert's most technically demanding composition for the Piano. Schubert?himself said 'the devil may play it ' in reference to his own inability to do so properly. It is the perfect challenge for any proficient pianist and the effort will be appreciated byaudiences upon hearing this marvellous piece!Franz Schubert?was an Austrian composer who was extremely prolific during his short?lifetime(he died at the age of 31). His output consists of over six hundred secular vocal works seven complete symphonies sacred music operas incidental music and a large body of chamber and Piano music. Today?Schubert?is ranked among the greatest composers of the late Classical era and early Romantic era and is one of the most frequently performed composers of the early nineteenth century.

Urtext Edition-Les deux trios avec piano de Schubert peuvent indubitablement être comptés au nombre de ses ?uvres les meilleures. Composés tous les deux en 1827 c?est-à-dire un an avant sa mort ce sont des ?uvres caractéristiques de sa maturité riches d?une grande invention mélodique alliée à une forte puissance créatrice formelle et une profonde expressivité. Si le trio en Mi bé-mol majeur op. 100 D 929 fut vendu à l?éditeur de Leipzig Probst (il ne parut cependant que juste après la mort de Schubert) le trio en Si bémol majeur op. 99 D 898 ne fut pas imprimé du vivant du compositeur. L?adagio en Mi bémol majeur op. post. 148 D 897 reproduit en annexe et connu plus tard sous letitre de Notturno fut conçu à l?origine comme mouvement lent du trio en Si bémol majeur. Schubert pourrait l?avoir considéré comme impropre à la publication du fait de son caractère sombre et expressif jusqu?au désespoir. Il ne parut d?ailleurs qu?en 1846. En annexe de ce recueil figure également le premier essai dans le genre du trio composé par Schubert à l?été 1812 alors qu?il était âgé de 15 ans.

Mittlere Stimme / Medium Voice-As a continuation of the new Urtext edition of the Schubert lieder Walther Dürr has now edited volume five for high medium and low voices. Volumes 1 to 4 of this edition contain mainly lieder which Schubert himself saw into print (in his own choice and order) and in the fourth volume works from the last two years of his life are included. The lieder in volume 5 onwards are strictly presented in the order of Deutsch's Thematic Catalogue which means that in principle they are arranged chronologically.The lieder in volume five were composed in the years 1811 to 1814. The first 'Hagars Klage' (D 5) dated 30 March 1811 is also his first complete surviving song. Thefirst eleven lieder are evidence of his early studies (1811 1813/14). During this period Schubert immersed himself in Johann Rudolf Zumsteeg's ballads and lieder and wrote Italian arias during his composition lessons with Antonio Salieri. He also composed a single strophic song ('Klaglied' D 23) which the only one of these songs was published shortly after his death in November 1830 as op. 131 3. His apprentice work as it were was the major ballade 'Der Taucher' (D 77) which was composed between 1813 and roughly the beginning of 1815. Probably not by chance his first complete opera ('Des Teufels Lustschloss' D 84) was written at the same time. He also set fourteen poems by Friedrich von Matthisson exploring the principle of the strophic lied.- Excellent new engraving based on the 'New Schubert Edition'- Foreword by Walther Dürr discussing the history the works? compositionand transmission together with a list of sources for each song (Ger/Eng)- English translation of the song texts by Richard WigmoreContents:Hagars Klage D 5 / Leichenfantasie D 7 /Der Vatermörder D 10 / Klaglied op. post. 131 3 D 23 / Misero pargoletto D 42 (high voice only) / Totengräberlied D 44 / Die Schatten D 50 / Verklärung D 59 / Pensa che questo istante D 76 (medium and low voice only) /Der Taucher D 77 / Son fra l?onde D 78 (high voice only) /Adelaide D 95 / Trost.

Mittlere Stimme / Medium Voice-Walther Dürr presents Volume 8 of the new Urtext edition of Schubert’s lieder in separate editions for high medium and low voice. This volume contains lieder originating during the latter half of 1815 between August and November. Three series of lieder each based on a particular poet immediately catch the eye: a number of Ossian settings a group of Klopstock lieder and finally another set on texts that Schubert found in a Viennese almanac (Selam). Furthermore the series of Schubert lieder on texts by the North German poet Ludwig Theobul Kosegarten which starts in Volume 7 is concluded in this volume.
