Clarinet and Piano-The circumstances in which these poetic “Soirée Pieces” (thus their original title) came into being are quite surprising. In 1849 Dresden was seized by violent political turmoil that ultimately forcedSchumann to flee with Clara to the countryside. Yet none of this is apparent in the music of these three pieces whose idyllic character signifies a longing for harmony and seclusion. Originally conceived for the clarinet theywere accompanied by alternative parts for violin and cello as early as the original print. We have subjected our editions to a thoroughgoing critique and include a section of detailed editorial notes.

This fantastic volume contains a unified set of three Fantasy Pieces that make up Robert Schumann’s Opus 73. Completed in 1849 he linked each piece harmonically but compounded this by directing players to follow on to the next with performance notes: indicating that these were intended as a whole.From a mood of delicate expression through eloquent and lively to fiery and urgent this is a compelling and intriguing work. Perhaps it isn’t the finest composition by this talented writer but it is infused with more than enough Romanticism and thoughtfulness to make it an important and entertaining work.This version has beenskillfully arranged for Clarinet in A (or B Flat) with Piano Accompaniment by H. Bading and has been edited by Issay Barmas. The solo Clarinet in A and Clarinet in B Flat parts are also included on separate inserts.

These three pieces for Clarinet and Piano are already well known under the title Phantasiestucke Op.73. What is not generally known is that numerous important differences exist between the original manuscript and the first published version (the further model for all later editions). For the first time ever the pieces are being published exactly as they appear in Schumann's manuscript entitled Soireestucke.All points of difference between the manuscript and the first edition are outlined in a full commentary by Richard Platt and the significance of these differences emphasised by Alan Hacker in his Foreword where he comments on the superior strength of theoriginal: 'greater assymetry slightly varied harmony and many other touches all intensify passionate and impulsive instability the main expression of the work.'

Robert Schumann ne composa en réalité qu?une ?uvre pour clarinette: les «Trois pièces de fantaisie» op. 73 pour clarinette et piano datant de février 1849. Cependant composées à la fin de la même année les «Trois romances» op. 94 pour hautbois furent de son temps commercialisées accompagnées de parties de solistes pour clarinette et pour violon. Les clarinettistes se réjouiront certainement que les éditions Henle aient adopté à leur tour cette idée d?instrumentation alternative. Offert par Robert à sa femme Clara en 1849 en guise de cadeau de Noël le manuscrit n?a pas été conservé. Par contre des esquisses manuscrites ont pu être utilisées pour la préparation de cetteédition urtext et permettent de corriger certaines erreurs de la première édition de 1851. La préface et les remarques des éditeurs contiennent de nombreuses informations sur les sources et les questions relatives à la partition.

'Klassik für Kinder' wants to introduce clarinet pupils to the beauty of Baroque, Classical and Romantic concert literature. Cautiously, not only original clarinet literature was taken up, but catchy tunes and themes from the opera (The Freeshooter, The Magic Flute and others) and the concert hall (Four Seasons, Capriccio Italy, Reverie and others) were used as well. The edition starts with a piece from the Renaissance period, followed by the great composers of the Baroque, European Classical and Romantic eras and completed by several discoveries off the common concert programmes (Blasius, Reinagel, Sullivan). Four centuries of music history which will make the pupils enjoy classical music. The pieces are presented in easy arrangements and can be mastered after about two years of tuition, with the three-line octave being left out. Contenu - V.

This is an updated edition of Francis Poulenc's 1962 work Sonata For Clarinet And Piano edited by Millan Sachania. Featuring the full score and separate Clarinet part this exclusive editionalso includes a download card giving you instant online access to demonstration and accompaniment tracks.   Originally completed in 1962 Poulenc tragically passed away before it could bedefinitively engraved leaving behind a work with a number of ambiguous notational marks that resulted in an incomplete first edition published just a year later. A number of revisions have taken place but this expertly editedby Millan Sachania aims to provide a playable legible precise and authoritative score that reflect closest Poulenc's intentions.   This new edition includes accidentals that may havebeen intended by Poulenc within square brackets as well as cautionary accidentals and the deletion of redundant accidentals. Other amendments like the redistribution of notes between the Piano staves extendingslurs so as to incorporate second or final tied notes in contrast to the previous edition. At all points Sachania has aimed to reproduce an authoritative and accurate score that is at once playable and a reflection ofwhat Poulenc himself may have intended.   What makes this edition of Sonata For Clarinet And Piano really special is the unique download card that provides exclusive onlineaccess to demonstration and accompaniment audio tracks. Professionally-recorded by renowned clarinettist Joy Farrall and pianist Huw Watkins the demonstration track allows you to hear exactly how the piece as a whole shouldsound before the independent Piano-only track lets you take the place of the clarinettist in your very own performance.
