It takes a historico-critical approach and seeks to document the history of the works and writings by shedding light on their transformations, thus identifying the various versions as witnesses of evolving aesthetic and historical positions. Eislers complete oeuvre (only a limited number of his works had penetrated the publics awareness up until the 1990s) first became the object of an editorial undertaking when the Eisler - Gesammelte Werke (EGW) was founded by Nathan Notowicz. It was later placed under the direction of Manfred Grabs and Eberhardt Klemm, and began issuing its publications in 1968 through the intermediary of the Deutscher Verlag fur Musik in Leipzig. However, only four volumes of music and five volumes of writings were published. The Hanns Eisler Complete Edition pursues the work begun at that time, although it has had to fundamentally revise its editorial principles. In this respect, the Hanns Eisler Complete Edition can be considered as a completely new editorial undertaking. It became necessary to reconceive the organization of the volumes and series as well as the editorial guidelines in order to adapt the standards of historico-critical editing generally applicable today to the specific and sometimes singular circumstances of Eislers works.The Critical Commentaries pertaining to the main volumes follow the music section or, whenever they are too extensive, appear in a special volume.Series I: Choral MusicSeries II: Music for Voice and Instrumental Ensemble or OrchestraSeries III: Music for Voice and PianoSeries IV: Instrumental MusicSeries V: Incidental MusicSeries VI: Film MusicSeries VII: Sketches and FragmentsSeries VIII: Arrangements of works by other composersSeries IX: Writings, Letters and InterviewsSON 501 has been awarded the German Music Edition Prize 2003.SON 502 has been awarded the German Music Edition Prize 2007.

The major upheavals that transformed society and musical aesthetics during the first half of the 20th century also profoundly affected the life of Hanns Eisler, as well as his compositions and writings. The importance and scope of Eislers oeuvre are reason enough to make his works accessible to musical scholarship and practice in a comprehensive fashion. Price reduction for a subscription.

This album contains fifteen easy compositions for piano solo, inspired by the city: from honking cars, and dark alleys to imposing skyscrapers…one of the pieces is even based on mobile phone ringtones. The album is aimed at students who have beenplaying the piano for three to four years; the level of difficulty varies for each piece some are slightly easier, or trickier, than the others. Each work has its own specific mood and style, and where possible I have also tried to incorporatevarious techniques or characters within one composition. This music would make a suitable competition selection, as well as appropriate concert or exam pieces.

Deze pianobundel bestaat uit vijftien eenvoudige composities voor pianosolo, ge nspireerd op de geluiden van een stad: van toeterende auto’s, duistere stegen tot imposante wolkenkrabbers… Er zit zelfs een werkje bij dat is gebaseerd op gsm-ringtones.Het album is bedoeld voor leerlingen die drie vier jaar piano spelen; de moeilijkheidsgraad varieert per stuk het ene is wat makkelijker of moeilijker dan het andere. Elk werk heeft een specifieke sfeer en stijl, en waar mogelijk heb ik ookgeprobeerd om diverse technieken of karakters in één compositie te verwerken. De muziek is daarom erg geschikt als verplicht werk, en eveneens om te spelen tijdens een concert of examen.

Dieses Album enthält 15 leichte Kompositionen für Klavier solo, die von Klängen der Stadt inspiriert wurden: von hupenden Autos und dunklen Gassen bis hin zu imposanten Wolkenkratzern. Ein Stück basiert sogar auf Handyklingeltönen. Das Album richtetsich an Schüler, die seit drei oder vier Jahren Klavier spielen. Der Schwierigkeitsgrad der Stücke ist unterschiedlich manche sind etwas einfacher, manche schwieriger als die anderen Stücke. Jedes Werk hat eine eigene Stimmung und einen speziellenStil. Wo es möglich war, habe ich auch versucht, verschiedene Techniken oder Charaktere innerhalb einer Komposition zu verwenden. Diese Musik eignet sich gut für Wettbewerbe, aber auch als Konzert- oder Prüfungsstücke.

Cet album contient quinze compositions faciles pour piano solo, inspirées par les sons d’une ville : des voitures klaxonnantes et ruelles sombres aux gratte-ciels imposants…l’un des morceaux est même basé sur des sonneries de portable. L’album viseles étudiants jouant du piano depuis trois ou quatre ans ; le niveau de difficulté varie entre chaque pièce - certaines sont plus faciles que d’autres. Chaque morceau a son propre ton et style, et, si possible, j’ai aussi essayé d’inclure destechniques et caractères différents par composition. Cette musique est convenable pour des concours, concerts ou examens.
