for Viola and Piano-Brahms had already announced his 'retirement' from composition when in the spring of 1894 he played chamber music with the cellist Robert Hausmann and the clarinettist Richard Mühlfeld. This encounter apparently renewed his enthusiasm for Mühlfeld?s much admired playing and inspired him to write two Clarinet sonatas in the summer of the same year. It remains unclear when exactly Brahms drafted Viola parts to his two sonatas. In any case the Viola and Clarinet versions of the works were first published by Simrock at the same time in 1895. Today there is no doubt about Brahms? authorship of the Viola parts. They include important differences fromthe Clarinet original in order to do justice to this string instrument.An important part of this edition is the extensive preface. Firstly it informs about the sonatas? origins their compositional process pre-publication performances their publication history as well as early reception. Truly remarkable is the unique Performance Practice Commentary. Here the editors start from the premise that already a few decades after Brahms' death a widening gulf developed between the composer's expectations and the performance practices of the early 20th century. On the basis of manifold sources which include memoirs by pupils and chamber music partners treatises and essays early instructive editions and historical recordings the editors deal with key issues in understanding Brahms' notation. By a section-by-section analysis of rhythm and timing dynamics and accentuation dots and strokes slurring and non legato Piano pedalling and overholding Piano arpeggiation and dislocation string instrument fingering string instrument harmonics and vibrato the editors provide an indispensable assistance for a historically informed interpretation of the works.At the same time the edition offers an exciting and often surprising insight into musical interpretation of the German Romantic Era in general.A pioneering Urtext editionWith an unmarked Urtext partWith a second part including fingering and bowing based on the practices of contemporaries of BrahmsWith an extensive Performance Practice

With the new Urtext Primo series, the Wiener Urtext Edition wants to close the gap arising at the point of transition to additional lessons after having studied a piano method. Beginning with a performance level which is outlined by pieces such as Bach's Minuet in G (BWV Anh. 116), Mozart's Minuet in F (KV 5) or Schumann's Wilder Reiter (Op. 68/8), works by three different composers are selected for each volume of the Urtext Primo series, with the aim of offering piano pupils (or even adults who want to resume piano playing) a wide range of repertoire pieces on the basis of which they can enhance their technical and musical skills. The pieces' range of levels of difficulty is relatively narrow so that the volume can be used continuously over a period of about two years. This is what distinguishes the Urtext Primo approach from almost all common anthologies. The selected repertoire takes into account not only pieces of the classic canon of lessons, but also lesser known works which are in no way of less importance for piano lessons. The Urtext Primo volumes are published in the internationally recognised standard of the Wiener Urtext editions. The explanations included in each volume shall help to deepen the knowledge of musical styles, music history and piano playing. A repertoire chart at the end of each volume gives a rough overview of the levels of difficulty of the selected pieces.Volume 4 combines works of the German Romanticism by Schumann, Brahms and Theodor Kirchner. Apart from well known pieces from Schumann's 'Album for the Youth' and the easiest waltzes from opus 39 (in the easier version) by Brahms, the selection contains the attractive set of variations from Schumann's first Youth Sonata Op. 118/1 and Brahms' Saraband in A minor WoO 5/1 as well as a number of pleasant pieces by Theodor Kirchner which continue the tonal air of Schumann and Brahms in easy playable pieces. / Piano

Brahms? popular 16 ?Waltzes? opus 39 composed in 1866 for four hands were transcribed by Brahms one year later for two hands. At the request of his publisher Brahms also wrote an easier version of the work for solo piano. Brahms himself described the first version as suitable for 'reasonable hands' that is for proficient players and the easier version as 'perhaps for prettier hands' that is for domestic music-making. He initially described the latter version to his publisher as a 'children?s edition'. The catchy and musically easily accessible pieces are among the composer?s most popular works and are particularly suitable for piano students and lovers of the Romanticrepertoire.Both versions of the ?Waltzes? op. 39 (BA 9602 BA 9603) are available in separate editions and form an important contribution to Bärenreiter?s series of Brahms?s works in scholarly-critical Urtext editions. Both editions include fingering a well-presented musical layout and optimum page-turns. The Urtext editions are complemented by explanations on performance practice used by Brahms an informative foreword on the genesis sources and significance of the works together with comments on the primary sources.A key work in the Romantic piano repertoireAll known sources and the latest research findings taken into accountWell-presented musical layout with optimum page-turnsIncludes fingeringSuggestions on performance practice and interpretation (Ger/Eng)Informative foreword (Ger/Eng) and critical commentary (Eng)The EditorChristian Köhn has been awarded several scholarships as well as winning major international music competitions in Germany.He has released 24 CDs to date including the first ever complete recording of the piano duo works of Johannes Brahms.

Avec les opus 116 et 117 de Brahms nous sommes dans les quatre derniers opus pour piano seul composés à Ischl en 1892, de même que pour les opus 118 et 119 en 1893. Brahms a abandonné l'écriture symphonique dont la dernière oeuvre fut le double concerto pour violon et violoncelle et plus tardivement celle qui concerne la musique de chambre.Cherchant une oeuvre inédite pour alto et piano représentative de la fin de la période romantique, mon choix s'est porté sur l'opus 117 #1 car il convenait parfaitement à un arrangement pour piano et alto, la partie mélodique étant de ce registre.A ce propos, n'oublions pas l'admirable oeuvre vocale du compositeur ainsi que les opus symphoniques antérieurs, mais également ceux de musique de chambre et pianistiques où la mélodie est confiée de manière épisodique à une ' voix intermédiaire ' que Brahms affectionnait particulièrement.L'opus 117 #1 est un paysage d'automne en demi-teinte, en clair-obscur cher au Brahms des dernières années dont il cite deux vers en exergue, extraits d'une berceuse écossaise. Dans ses derniers opus pour piano, Brahms retourne complètement à ses origines, avec une inspiration nordique affirmée. Sur la fin de sa vie le compositeur s'abandonne progressivement à un état d'esprit mélancolique qui reflète le sentiment de ses contemporains allemands en cette fin de XIXème siècle.Ce sentiment confus, ce ' Weltschmerz ' traduisant cette ' vague douleur du monde ' incita Brahms à surnommer certaines de ces pièces ' berceuses de ma douleur ' dont l'opus 117 #1 pourrait être un exemple. Ces ultimes opus s'inscrivent dans les quatre grands cycles de rêveries et de méditations pianistiques du célèbre compositeur. / Alto Et Piano

for Violin and Piano-Brahms had already announced his ?retirement? from composition when in the spring of 1894 he played chamber music with the cellist Robert Hausmann and the clarinettist Richard Mühlfeld. This encounter apparently renewed his enthusiasm for Mühlfeld?s much admired playing and inspired him to write two Clarinet sonatas in the summer of the same year.Brahms conceived an alternate version of the works for Viola from the beginning and already before the publication of these two versions he intended to do another one for Violin a version which was to require changes and was to result in an independent edition. While the Clarinet and Viola versions havedeveloped a rich performance tradition the Violin version is almost unknown. Yet for the Violin version the composer revised the original Clarinet part much more extensively than he did for the Viola version and also rewrote the Piano part to achieve a thoroughly convincing Violin and Piano idiom. This Bärenreiter edition aims to bring the neglected Violin Sonatas Op. 120 back into players? hands.An important part of this edition is the extensive preface. Firstly it informs about the sonatas? origins their compositional process pre-publication performances their publication history as well as early reception.

Nach dem Erscheinen der 16 Walzer für Klavier zu vier Händen gelang es Brahms' Verleger den Komponisten von einer Fassung für Klavier zu zwei Händen zu überzeugen. Brahms schlug - nach anfänglichem Zögern - zwei Varianten vor, eine für ?vernünftige Hände und eine - vielleicht für die schöneren'. Beide Fassungen erschienen 1867. Die erleichterte, von Brahms auch ?Kinderfassung' genannt, entschärft nicht nur so manche Vollgriffigkeit, sie ändert auch komplizierte Tonarten: So tritt die Nr. 6 statt in Cis-dur nun im Gewand des leichter fassbaren C-dur auf. Diese vereinfachte Fassung des populären op. 39 kommt nun im G. Henle Verlag als Revision auf Grundlage der neuen Brahms-Gesamtausgabe heraus. / Piano
