George Berg’s eight keyboard suites, Op. 5, were published in London around 1760, while the composer was travelling in Italy. They are his most varied and resourceful compositions, following generally in the tradition of Handel’s suites but adding stylistic elements culled from Italian, German and French music in a playfully eclectic manner. This sparkling, idiomatic music – barely known until now – is equally suitable for private enjoyment and concert use.

BachScholar Editions Vol. 80: J.S. BACH: Sinfonia from Cantata 29: Etude on One Staff with Two Hands (5 pages) presents a unique and accessible transcription of Bach’s exciting Sinfonia from Cantata 29, which Bach reworked from his previously composed Preludio from Partita No. 3 for Solo Violin. The present edition notates Bach’s original solo in the treble clef played with alternating hands: stems up = R.H. and stems down = L.H. Sharing the solo between the two hands results in a difficulty half that of romantic, virtuoso transcriptions that add chords and accompaniment material in the bass clef. This unique transcription offers pianists Grades 5 and up a fun and rewarding study which fosters evenness of touch and tone and explores innovative fingerings and hand crossings. This transcription of Bach’s exciting Sinfonia from Cantata 29 has something for everyone — piano students, teachers, and concert artists alike! Published by: BachScholar.

BachScholar Editions Vol. 78: J.S. BACH: Sinfonia from Cantata 29 (trans. Saint-Saëns) (9 pages) presents arguably the finest romantic-era piano transcription of Bach’s exciting Sinfonia from Cantata 29, which Bach reworked from his previously composed PreludioV from Partita No. 3 for Solo Violin. The once child prodigy and musical genius, Camille Saint-Saëns (1835-1921), pulled out all the stops on this electrifying virtuoso piano transcription of Bach’s famous work, which was first published in 1862. The present performance edition improves upon the currently existing edition by supplying ample fingerings, pedaling and expression indications, as well as a suggested metronome speed. Advanced pianists, concert artists, and audiences will absolutely love this first-rate virtuoso transcription in the romantic tradition. Published by: BachScholar.
