English-German-Hungarian.

This present edition follows a double aim: to assist music students in getting acquainted with and growing fond of the music in Bach's time on the one hand and to prepare and facilitate teaching and studying Bach's small preludes, on the other. To meet the latter objective the more difficult dances and suite movements prove to be the most suitable. It is primarily a practical edition that follows closely the original music material. The original slurring has, however, been changed due to teaching purposes and in the interests of easier study (in several cases by omitting the original or by adding the most essential phrasing and articulation slurs). Suggestions for tempo,performance, dynamics and fingering have also been given. The eventually unusual fingering in some places promotes correct phrasing, articulation. Original ornaments that would pose considerable difficulties for the students have been omitted while the ones that can eventually be omitted depending on the rechnical skill of the students have benn put in brackets. In such cases an easier solution is, however, always indicated above the original in brackets. This does not exclude naturally that students capable of properly executing the original ornaments of these works without the distortrion of the melkody arches and rhythm should not play them in their full, not simplified form. Piano students on advanced level are recommended to compare the present edition with other, original text editions which disclose ornaments in their original form. As an example two pieces of this collection have been included in the appendix in the form they appear in the original text edition. This attempt provides possibilities both for the teachers and students to assess the nature and extent of editorial alterations. The name of the composer has only been indicated in case where it could be unambiguously identified.

Unsere Ausgabe hat ein doppeltes Anliegen. Einerseits will sie den Schülern helfen, mit der zeitgenössischen Musik Bachs bekannt zu werden und an ihr Gefallen zu finden, anderseits soll sie den Unterricht bzw. das Erlernen der kleinen Präludien Bachs vorbereiten und erleichtern. Für die letztgenannte Aufgabe sind die schwierigeren Tänze und Suitensätze am geeignetsten.

Vol. 84 — J.S. BACH: 436 Two-Part Chorales — Essential Studies in Counterpoint, Musicianship & Sight-Reading (169 pages). This premium Urtext edition presents Bach’s 436 four-part chorales with the inner voices (alto and tenor) removed, which is equal in difficulty to the Grades 3-4 lines in BachScholar’s bestselling Sight-Reading & Harmony. These simple yet profoundly beautiful 436 chorales serve as excellent preparation for the reading and playing of pieces featuring 1:1 and 1:2 counterpoint, such as two-part Inventions and fugues, and make Bach’s chorales accessible to less advanced students who are unable to play all four parts. Performers will marvel at the clear and easy to read manuscript and will be delighted in having no page turns between chorales. The 436 chorales are arranged in alphabetical order (in German) according to each chorale melody (hymn tune), which are accompanied with English translations. This edition also includes a 15-page table of contents with background information of each chorale, a list of the chorales in BWV order for easy reference, and an alphabetical list of composers of the chorale melodies. Ideal for piano and organ teachers and students as well as college and university courses in ear training, sight-reading, harmony, theory, and counterpoint. Published by: BachScholar.

The four composer-sons of Johann Sebastian Bach were figures of decisive importance in the transitional period between the Baroque and Viennese classicism. Around the middle of the 18th century they were influential not only as composers but also as virtuoso players of keyboard instruments in promoting the enormous change in style that took place during those decades. This volume offers a selection of the genres typical of the keyboard works by Bach's sons, thereby also giving students an excellent introduction to Viennese classicism and to the works of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. Contains ABRSM Piano Syllabus pieces, Grades 3-6.

Vier Söhne Johann Sebastian Bachs, die in die Fußstapfen des Vaters traten, sind bedeutende Figuren der 'Übergangszeit' zwischen dem Barock und der Wiener Klassik. Nicht nur als Komponisten sondern auch als Meister der Tasteninstrumente wirkten sie gegen Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts massiv an dem enormen Stilwechsel mit, welcher sich in diesen Jahrzehnten vollzog. Das vorliegende Heft bietet dem Schüler eine Auswahl an charakteristischen Gattungen von Werken der Bach-Söhne für Tasteninstrumente und führt sie dadurch ausgezeichnet in die Wiener Klassik, in die Stücke von Haydn, Mozart und Beethoven ein.
