La collection ANACROUSE offre aux pianistes novices et confirmés un large choix d’œuvres classiques, allant de la Renaissance à l’époque moderne.

Proposer tout à la fois des « incontournables » du répertoire classique et des pièces de compositeurs parfois oubliés, toutes d’une valeur pédagogique indéniable, tels sont les objectifs que nous nous sommes fixés. Chaque pièce, vendue à l’unité, a fait l’objet d’un travail éditorial attentif, tant sur le plan de l’établissement du texte musical que de sa gravure, afin de garantir aux musiciens les conditions indispensables aux plaisirs tirés du commerce fréquent de ces œuvres.

Les partitions sont proposées sous la forme d’ouvrages traditionnels (feuillets papier), et disponibles également par téléchargement.



L’opus 39 est composé de seize valses. La version d’origine publiée en 1865 est à quatre mains, mais Brahms en crée une version simplifiée à deux mains qui parait en 1867. Le compositeur signe avec ses seize valses exquises son unique témoignage de la tradition viennoise.
L'écriture de ces valses est d'une grande simplicité. Leurs structures sont différentes de celles des valses viennoises de Strauss. Elles ne présentent ni introduction lente, ni trio, ni coda mais s'apparentent plutôt à un ländler par la sobriété de la pièce. Toutes ces valses sont de formes ABA où deux motifs thématiques s'entremêlent et se lient l’un à l’autre.
La valse n°10 se caractérise par sa grande simplicité d'écriture au niveau rythmique par l'alternance de mesures à six croches et à trois noires. Une plaisante mélodie se balade naïvement à travers un accompagnement facile et accessible pour tous pianistes.
Contrairement à la Valse n°10, la Valse n°11 se distingue par sa difficulté rythmique. L'emploi d'appoggiatures répétitifs et de rythmes fantasques donne un côté tzigane à cette valse.Ces deux valses à la suite révèlent un aspect versatile dans leur interprétation. La valse n°10 tangue tranquillement sur les rives du Danube jusqu'à l'arrivée de la valse n°11 où s'exaltent sur les berges des musiciens tziganes.
Une vague de douceur et de fantaisie enveloppera les pianistes de valses viennoises à travers ces valses de Brahms qui finalement les laissera libres à la danse.

The German Requiem is one of the world's most famous requiems, even though it does not set the customary requiem text to music. Brahms did not want to follow the Latin Catholic funeral mass, addressing the Last Judgment's terror and sinful human beings' redemption through death on the cross. His attention, on the contrary, was on Biblical texts that focus on human transience and comfort: comfort to the bereaved and comfort to all who fear death. To some extent, it could be called the epitome of Brahms's work. In the relevant volume of the new Brahms Complete Edition, on which this new practical edition is based, editors Michael Musgrave and Michael Struck clear up all sorts of legends, errors, and erroneous readings. Brahms's subsequent minor compositional changes are taken into account, poor decisions in previous editions are corrected, and the Bible texts sung contain writing and meaning corrections. In addition, the texts elucidate many myths about the composition's origin. Thus, this Urtext edition creates a fresh perspective on the People's Requiem, as Brahms would have preferred to call the composition. This new B&H publication is extremely good value, and it really does breathe new life into an old master. The pages of the full score are delightfully easy on the eye. The edition's visual effect is precise, lucid, and sympathetic - as, indeed, a good performance of Brahms's choral masterpiece should be.(Jeremy Summerly, Choir & Organ)

authoritative music text based on the current state of research; erroneous traditional readings corrected; orchestra material tried and tested; new piano vocal score (compact engraving, clear legibility).

This arrangement of Brahms' famous lullaby features the first trumpet and the trombone. It begins fairly straight-forwardly, but morphs into a very colourful middle section featuring some unusual but pleasant harmony and rhythms, before finishing in a more traditional manner. It should not send your audience to sleep, but have them awestruck at the wonderful sounds that brass instruments can make.
