Symphony no. 2 D major op. 73-Lorsqu?il composa sa premi?re symphonie Brahms ?tait encore largement influenc? par l??uvre de Beethoven. Mais ce n??tait plus le cas pour la deuxi?me qui s?en d?marque tr?s nettement. Le principe de traitement des motifs ne se cantonne plus uniquement au d?veloppement mais s??tend ? tout le premier mouvement. Dans les mouvements suivants tout semble d?ailleurs aussi ?tre apparent?. La cr?ation de cette symphonie dans la salle du Musikverein de Vienne fut pour Brahms l?un des plus grands triomphes de son existence qu?il d?crivit avec enthousiaste: ?L?orchestre ici a r?p?t? et jou? avec passion et m?a f?licit? comme cela ne m?est encore jamais arriv?.? Gr?ce ? cette partitiond??tude les chefs d?orchestre ?tudiants et passionn?s de Brahms pourront appr?cier la partition tir?e de l??dition compl?te des ?uvres de Brahms (?galement parue chez G. Henle) en version urtext dans un petit format facile ? manier. Dans la pr?face l??diteur et sp?cialiste de Brahms Robert Pascall apporte des informations int?ressantes sur la gen?se et l?histoire de l??dition de cette ?uvre.

Urtextausgabe-In his Serenade no. 2 op. 16 composed in 1858 60 Johannes Brahms keeps to the usual smaller scoring for this genre using pairs of winds and horns as well as low strings (no violins!).?His friendClara Schumann was ?delighted? with the work but the public reaction was restrained and even Brahms himself was not happy with some details. Thus 15 years after the first performance he rigorously revised theserenade.?Henle are now publishing this definitive version from 1875 that was ?new revised by the author? as a study score with the musical text from the Brahms Complete Edition.

It is uncertain whether the chorale theme of 'Haydn Variations' is actually by Haydn. It is certain however that the Variations are characteristic of Brahms' mature orchestral style and his strict sense of form.With 'Academic Ouverture' the composer expressed his thanks to the University of Breslau for giving him an honorary doctorate. Although the 'brooding' 'Tragic Ouverture' which had originally been intended for this purpose seemed no longer appropriate to Brahms for that occasion it has always been a resounding success since its world premiere.

L?histoire de la genèse de la 4e Symphonie remonte probablement aux années 1870, alors que Brahms travaillait sur la cantate de Bach «Nach dir, Herr, verlanget mich», dont le thème de la chaconne préfigure la cellule du final.

Autour du 29 août 1885, Brahms écrivit à Hans von Bülow depuis Mürzzuschlag dans le Steiermark: «J?ai là quelques entr?actes ? ce que l?on a coutume de réunir sous le nom de symphonie. [?] Je crains [?] qu?elle a le goût du climat local ? ici les cerises ne mûrissent pas.» Aucune trace de cerises «amères» dans cette symphonie. L?oeuvre est aujourd?hui un des sommets de la symphonie classique-romantique.

D'une durée de plus de quarante minutes et composée en 1858-59 pour une grande formation comprenant cors, trompettes et timbales, la Sérénade en Ré majeur de Johannes Brahms caresse le genre de la symphonie. Pourtant l'opus 11 de ce compositeur alors en plein essor avait tout d'abord commencé par quatre mouvements pour 'petit orchestre', avant de prendre la forme de la 'Sinfonie-Serenade' que nous connaissons aujourd'hui. Notre Studien-Edition offre non seulement la partition critique de l'édition complète des oeuvres de Brahms, mais également une préface détaillée, dans laquelle l'éditeur Michael Musgrave commente la genèse compliquée de cette première grande oeuvre pour orchestre de Johannes Brahms. / Piano 4 Mains

Out of all his symphonies Symphony No.1 symphony took Brahms the longest to write. This was on the one hand due to the composer's meticulous and extremely self-critical working method and on the other hand due to Beethoven's overwhelming example which held him back. 14 years passed until this serious and complex work was completed. But it was worth the effort: none of his other works contain such a multitude of musical ideas.

Composed in 1898 Sibelius’ first symphony does not closely resemble the brass-heavy compositional style of his later symphonic works such as Finlandia for which he is well known. Instead the symphony reflects the lyrical style of works by Tchaikovsky and Brahms. Although Sibelius later denied having been influenced by either Tchaikovsky or Brahms the lyrical style and fewer use of Brass signifies that the piece emulates the symphonies of both composers.Sibelius’ Symphony No.1 in E Minor Op.29 is characterised by its use of string and woodwind solos; a Clarinet solo opens the first movement while Violin Viola and Cello solos featurein the later movements. Although classified originally as ‘Romantic’ some music historians argue that this piece composed at the turn of 20th Century should in fact be classified as ‘Modern’ as it certainly is a forward-looking and ground-breaking work.Available here is the miniature score of Sibelius’ first symphony which is ideal for study and perusal usage.

E-moll Op. 64-Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto op. 64 is a key work of the 19th century adhering to the classical style of Beethoven while pointing the way to the romantic ethos of Brahms. It has long been known that Mendelssohn performed the work with three soloists in succession: Ferdinand David who worked closely with the composer during its composition and played it at the première; the ‘child prodigy’ Joseph Joachim; and Hubert Léonard a young Belgian virtuoso about whom little is known.As proof sheets for the Violin Concerto in E minor were long considered lost it could be described as somewhat of a sensation when proofs for the soloviolin part resurfaced together with a letter from Mendelssohn to Léonard.The letter informs us that the composer invited Léonard to his home in Frankfurt in order to make his acquaintance. It was already known that Mendelssohn had given proof sheets to David; now we know that he also gave some to Léonard.The recently discovered proofs reveal how Léonard played the concerto with Mendelssohn on that memorable evening in February 1845. Besides containing bowing marks and fingering they also show how Léonard executed shifts of position and where he employed open strings. Furthermore modifications made to dynamic markings and additional legato bowing are shown.It is safe to assume that all of this was done with Mendelssohn’s approval. That the young violinist made a positive impression on the composer is confirmed in the latter’s correspondence following their joint performance. Mendelssohn is full of praise for Léonard’s playing and offers to lend his support in finding employment in Germany.This revised edition of the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto (only the orchestral parts remain unchanged) includes a separate booklet on performance practice.The editor Clive Brown is an acknowledged expert on Romantic performance practice.- New source situation owing to recently rediscovered proofs- Revised Urtext edition- With a separate booklet on performance practice (BA9060) (Eng/Ger)- Full score in the revised early and late (popular) versions (BA9099)
