Arr. Penson Karol. Par SCHUBERT FRANZ. / Musique Instrumentale / Répertoire / Piano

The large and technically demanding G major Sonata was composed two years before Schubert?s death in October 1826 and is one of only three piano sonatas that appeared in print during his lifetime. The unusual title of the first edition ?Fantasie, Andante, Menuetto und Allegretto? stems from the publisher Haslinger and is probably due to the dreamy-melancholy underlying mood of the first movement which corresponded little to the traditional concepts of a sonata?s first movement. It is hardly surprising that the ?Fantasy-Sonata?, as it is often still called today, later inspired artists such as Franz Liszt and Robert Schumann with its free and romantic nature, who described it as being consummate ?in form and spirit?. For the present Urtext edition a thorough re-examination of all known sources was undertaken, including the autograph in the British Library, and the edition now presents itself with the usual crystal clear Henle music engraving. The preface by Schubert expert Andrea Lindmayr-Brandl and the detailed commentary section provide comprehensive information about the genesis of the work, the sources and their readings. A further highlight are the fingerings by pianist Martin Helmchen.

Franz Schubert's Impromptus Op. 90 (D 899) are among the most frequently played of his piano works and have become well-established in music lessons and in the concert repertoire. This Wiener Urtext Edition presents a new edition based on the latest research and performance practice. In this edition, numerous details have been added to the text and fundamental problems like the distinction between accents and crescendo hairpins or the adjustment of dotted rhythms to triplets are solved in a new and undogmatic way, closely following Schubert's original manuscript. Also new are the notes on interpretation by Robert D. Levin which look into even the most subtle shades of meaning of expression markings. Score image and page layout have been designed in a user-friendly way. / Piano

(Version for piano solo) and other works. Supplementary Volume 15 of the New Liszt Edition contains both earlier versions of published works and also several works that remained as manuscript. The most extensive work in this volume is the earliest known draft of the Piano Concerto in A major (written in 1839 for solo piano). Not only does the draft give insight into the process of the work?s genesis, but it also holds its own as a work for piano solo. Additionally, the volume contains several shorter works, such as a piano transcription of Robert Schumann?s Lied Widmung, which shows how original Liszt?s interpretations were, and also two early drafts of the Zweite Elegie dedicated to Lina Ramann (a former pupil of Liszt?s and his first biographer). The latter have been published in facsimile. Supplementary Volume 15 features a detailed preface in German, English and Hungarian, which reveals valuable details on each work. The cloth-bound version also has critical notes in English.

The Sonata in A major Hob. XVI:26 is one of the sonatas by Joseph Haydn which increasingly become the focus of attention of our piano teachers. Thanks to its moderate technical demands, it is perfect for piano lessons. At the same time, it shows essential features of Haydn's piano style in a condensed form - an expressive musical declamation, rhetorical breaks full of tension, wit and humour - which culminates not only in one of the shortest final movements of Haydn, but also in a minuet the second half of which (in Minuet and Trio) corresponds to the first half when played backwards. A real voyage of discovery for the 'eagle-eyed' ones among the young piano players! The musical text is based on Christa Landon's edition newly revised by Ulrich Leisinger- the notes on interpretation by Robert D. Levin provide assistance for a performance practice in the appropriate style. / Piano

In autumn 1827 Schubert composed eight 'Impromptus' for publication as a complete collection by Haslinger in Vienna. When the plan fell through Schubert offered his 'Impromptus' to Schott as pieces which 'could be issued individually or all four together'. The name of the works probably originated from the publisher Haslinger and Schubert also used it for his collection published later as op. posth. 142. The lyrical-romantic works are suitable for advanced piano students and have the character of sonata movements. Robert Schumann who regarded them as parts of a four-movement sonata drew attention to the second collection published by Diabelli in 1839 in hisreview.For the first time this scholarly-critical Urtext edition presents the musical text of the 'New Schubert Edition' in new engraving and with optimum page-turns.

La Sonate en ré majeur (Hob XVI: 37) est l'un de Joseph Haydn le plus connu et le plus souvent joué sonates pour piano. Le premier mouvement sparklingly brillante, les nuances de couvaison et archaïque à court largo ainsi que les cadences généralement haydnesque à la finale font de cette pièce un excellent travail d'éducation que les amateurs de musique, même les plus expérimentés aiment jouer. Le Wiener Urtext Edition a maintenant publié une édition séparée, basé sur récemment révisé la version de Ulrich Leisinger de l'édition Christa Landon. Aspects essentiels de la pratique de la performance sont donnés dans les notes sur l'interprétation par Robert D. Levin. / Piano

Composed during 1836-38 this work is dedicated to Franz Liszt who in turn dedicated his B minor Sonata to Schumann. It reflects Schumann's despair over his thwarted love affair with Clara Wieck.

Deuxième année - Italie (S161) / Venezia e Napoli (S162)-While the first volume of Liszt?s Années de pèlerinage (?Pilgrim Years?) was inspired primarily by the landscape of Switzerland the creative impetus for the second volume was the art and literature of Italy. Edition Peters is proud to continue its acclaimed series of Liszt critical editions from world-renowned Liszt expert and concert pianist Leslie Howard with this new urtext edition of Années de pèlerinage Deuxième Année ? Italie. Containing an extensive critical commentary and introductory notes the edition (like its predecessor Suisse (EP72782)) also contains reproductions of the half-tint illustrations by Robert Kretschmer that appeared in the first edition.

La Sonate en Sol majeur, de vastes dimensions et exigeante techniquement, a vu le jour en octobre 1826, deux ans avant la disparition de Schubert. Elle fait partie des trois seules sonates pour piano qui parurent encore sous forme imprimée du vivant du compositeur. Le titre inhabituel de la première édition ? Fantasie, Andante, Menuetto et Allegretto ? est dû à l?éditeur Haslinger. Il fait référence à l?atmosphère rêveuse et mélancolique du 1er mouvement, qui ne correspondait pas vraiment à la conception traditionnelle d?un mouvement initial de sonate. Il est ainsi peu surprenant que la «Fantaisie-sonate», comme on l?appelle encore souvent de nos jours, ait, par son caractère libre et romantique, enthousiasmé des artistes tels Franz Liszt ou Robert Schumann, qui l?a qualifiée de «totalement accomplie, tant par la forme que par l?esprit». La présente édition urtext se base sur un réexamen approfondi de toutes les sources connues, notamment l?autographe de la British Library. Elle est réalisée dans la brillante gravure caractéristique des productions Henle. L?avant-propos de la spécialiste de Schubert, Andrea Lindmayr-Brandl, ainsi qu?une section de notes très développée, fournissent des informations exhaustives sur l?origine de l??uvre, les sources et leurs variantes. Autre point fort, les doigtés du pianiste Martin Helmchen. / Partitions classique / Piano - instruments à clavier / Piano / HENLE VERLAG

This volume presents easy pieces for piano by great virtuosos. It unites the two greatest, and perhaps best-known, pianists of the 19th century, Frédéric Chopin and Franz Liszt. The technical requirements of these works are very moderate without muting the stylistic characteristics of these two composers. The ability to play an original composition by Liszt in the first years of lessons can be very motivating for the piano student. Also featured in this collection are works by the virtuoso Ferdinand Hiller, to whom Robert Schumann dedicated his Piano Concerto. As in many of the works by Liszt and Chopin, Hiller's works are frequently reminiscent of folk music. His Irländisches Lied and Fandango, included in the collection, are fine examples of 19th-century 'world music'. / Piano
