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

The 'Eroica Variations'---so-called because they were later re-worked for the finale of Beethoven's third ('Eroica') Symphony, Op. 55---occupy a prominent place in piano literature. Its structural grandeur and the originality and beauty of its piano writing set this work apart. The technical demands are considerable, on par with many other works from Beethoven's middle period. A brilliant finger technique is called for, and often the demands for speed and volume coincide. This edition, edited by Charles Timbrell, is based on the autograph, which served as the source-score for the first edition. / Piano

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.

Funeral March-Beethoven?s four-movement Sonata in A-flat major Op.26 belongs to his most popular works. It is dedicated to Prince Lichnowsky one of his most generous patrons and the dedicatee of for example the Grande Sonate pathétique Op.13 and Symphony No.2 Op.35.The work?s initial drafts date from 1800 01; it was first published in March 1802.This demanding sonata is highly varied in its form: it begins with a set of variations and contains the famous Marcia funebre sulla morte d?un Eroe as its third movement earning it the nickname ?Sonata with the Funeral March?. The identity of the title?s eroe (hero) remains unknown to the present day. The march was performed atBeethoven?s funeral on 29 March 1827 in an arrangement for orchestra.For this Bärenreiter edition Jonathan Del Mar possibly as one of the first editors of a modern edition consulted the composer?s autograph in the original. This enabled him to decipher details of Beethoven?s handwriting in particular with regard to the exact notation of doubtful slurs. The result is a most reliable and thoroughly-researched musical text. Differing readings and editorial decisions are documented in the Critical Commentary. The edition has been finely engraved and includes practical page turns. Information on central issues of historical performance practice (pedalling ornaments tempo dynamics articulation) is provided in a detailed chapter.Scholarly-critical Urtext edition based on most recent Beethoven researchEvaluation of Beethoven?s autograph in the originalElegant engraving with practical page turnsInformative Introduction (Eng / Ger)Discussion of central performance practice issues (Eng / Ger)Detailed Critical Commentary (Eng)

There are probably very few Piano students who have not tried their hand at this piece; it is undeniably one of the most popular classical Piano pieces today. And yet unanswered questions still remain. They not only concerndetails in the musical text but also its famous nickname: Is “Elise” the reading in the dedication in the autograph even actually correct? Or should it read “Therese”? And whom might Beethovenhave actually meant? The revised musical text is now being published in advance of the long-awaited volume “Piano Pieces” in the Complete Edition prepared by the Beethoven scholar Joanna CobbBiermann.

Like the ?Eroica Variations? op. 35 the Variations op. 34 were composed in 1802 on an original theme. The ?new fashion? Beethoven declared for both works to his publisher becomes apparent in opus 34 through the constant change of keys; from one variation to the next new tone colours and moods continue to unfold spanning the pastoral and the funereal while the melody of the theme remains largely unaltered. For the first time the Variations op. 34 are now available from Henle in a standalone edition. The musical text of the Urtext edition with extensive foreword and commentary was prepared on the basis of the later Critical Apparatus of the BeethovenComplete Edition. Here too the fingering comes from the esteemed hands of Ian Fountain.

3 Sonatines pour Piano. Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. La Sonatine en sol majeur (Anh. 5/1) est probablement la première rencontre avec la musique pour piano de Beethoven pour de nombreux pianistes en herbe. Pourtant, on ne peut même pas être sûr qu'elle ait été écrite par Beethoven, comme son ?uvre s?ur en fa majeur (Anh. 5/2). En tout cas, dans la première édition qui n'a été publiée qu'après la mort de Beethoven, elles sont attribuées à Beethoven, et un autre compositeur n'a pas pu être identifié jusqu'à présent. Elles n'ont en rien perdu de leur attrait en classe. Avec la Sonatine WoO 50, que Beethoven a fournie avec des doigtés pour son ami d'enfance Franz Gerhard Wegeler, la Wiener Urtext Edition réédite ces petites pièces d'introduction aux ?uvres pour piano de Beethoven. Ainsi, même les débutants pourront peut-être féliciter musicalement Beethoven à l'occasion de son 250e anniversaire. / Niveau : Facile / Répertoire / Piano
