Carl Maria von Weber's fame rests mainly on ?Der Freischütz'. The unprecedented success of this opera overshadowed all his other works and contributed to their increasing fall into oblivion. Certain works such as ?Preciosa', ?Oberon', and ?Euryanthe', the overtures, solo concertos and piano sonatas, the lieder and chamber works enjoyed great popularity and were widely known in Germany and abroad as late as the second half of the 19th century. However, any chance of a revival of Weber's influential and substantial oeuvre was wasted in the 1920s, when a complete edition - begun by Hans Joachim Moser and with potential contributors including Wilhelm Kempff, Hans Pfitzner, Max von Schillings, Fritz Stein and Richard Strauss - failed after the third volume.Ever since there have been numerous attempts to restart a complete edition of Weber's works, but as this kind of project would have required the co-operation of scholars from both sides of the inter-German border, the political situation after 1945 was not conducive to any such enterprise. Careful negotiations led to the first tangible steps in the 1980s. The intention, right from the beginning, was to place Weber's work in context, and not to separate his musical output from his influential work as a writer, critic and organiser in the musical field, but to publish his compositions together with his letters, diaries and other literary output as the best way to document the cross-fertilisation between his musical, literary and practical activities.Since the German re-unification both working-parties concerned - at the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin, and at the Musikwissenschaftliches Seminar, Detmold/Paderborn - have co-operated on the complete edition of the musical works (c. 45 volumes in 10 series: sacred music - cantatas, odes and other occasional works - stage works - lieder and vocal works - orchestral works - chamber music - music for piano - piano reductions - miscellanea, arrangements and orchestrations - works of doubtful attribution). The diaries (6-8 vols.) are edited in Berlin and the letters (8-10 vols.) and other writings (2 vols.) in Detmold. This complete edition aims to be a reliable basis of scholarly debate as well as for the authentic performance practice of Carl Maria von Weber's music. Conforming to the standards of recent historico-critical editions, the textual material will be based on all available authentic sources, accompanied by a detailed documentation of the genesis and a list of variants for each work. The musicological importance of the works will be evaluated by placing them in their historical context, the presentation of their genesis, history and Critical Commentaries. The letters, writings and diaries will be treated as inter-related and relevant to each other in the commentaries, therefore readers should benefit from a wealth of concise information and cross-references. / Score

L'édition officielle des partitions de l'album du même nom « Piano Songbook » chez Sony Classical. Elle contient des arrangements et des fantaisies sur des œuvres populaires, du baroque au romantisme, ainsi que des compositions originales de Martin Stadtfeld. Niveau de difficulté facile à intermédiaire - idéal pour les jeunes et ceux qui se remettent au piano.
« Les œuvres rassemblées dans ce volume m'ont accompagné toute ma vie. Dans des périodes difficiles, cette musique m'apporte du réconfort et de la certitude.
Les arrangements sont en partie libres et subjectifs, distillant ce qui est essentiel pour moi. La devise était : le moins de notes possible. C'est également ce que je revendique pour mes dix propres compositions dans la troisième partie. Ainsi, la plupart des pièces peuvent être jouées dans des cours de piano. Même ceux qui se remettent au piano après une longue période peuvent commencer avec ces pièces. Je souhaite que beaucoup de gens, lorsqu'ils les joueront, ressentent ce que j'ai ressenti lorsque j'ai écrit ce volume : contemplation, approfondissement, force intérieure. »

Bach: Complete Organ Works Vol. 5 Sonatas / Trios / Concertos - ed. by Pieter Dirksen Organ Works Based on Compositions by Bach and Others Genres such as sonata, trio and concerto were initially uncommon in the keyboard music of the early 18th century. Thus it comes as no surprise that many of the pieces in this volume are arrangements by Bach of original compositions and of works by other composers. Next to the Sonatas BWV 525?530 and the Concertos or concerto movements based on pieces by other composers BWV 592?596, the volume also contains the Trio in D minor BWV 583, the Trio settings BWV 585?587 as well as the early versions of BWV 527 and 528. Moreover, the CD-ROM offers eight arrangements of trio movements by Bach made by others. In his detailed introduction, Pieter Dirksen discusses various aspects of these pieces' origins, inasmuch as they help us better understand the works. The organist will especially welcome the comments on performance practice and registration. It is precisely the fact that these works derive from chamber-music models that leads to individual considerations for each work group.

Description Widely regarded as the culmination of French romanticism on the organ, Widor's symphonies include some of the most frequently performed and recorded works in the modern organ repertoire. Most of these symphonies - so called to emphasise the orchestral wealth of timbres offered by the new French organs - were written specifically to exploit the capacities of the modern Cavaille-Coll organ, especially the rich-toned five-keyboard instrument at St-Sulpice in Paris. Presented here in two inexpensive (this being the first), well-made volumes they offer a splendid resource for organists and all music lovers. Songlist Adagio Allegro Allegro Cantabile Allegro Vivace Andante (Sonata G.1) [Torelli, Giuseppe] Andante Cantabile Andantino Quasi Allegretto Finale Fugue Intermezzo Op.1 No.2 [Borodin, Aljeksandr Porfirjevic] Marche Pontificale Marcia Meditation Minuetto Pastorale [Pace] Prelude Scherzo [Goldschmidt, Berthold] Symphony No. 1 In C Minor, Op. 13, No. 1: Symphony No. 2 In D Major Op. 13, No. 2: Symphony No. 3 In E Minor, Op. 13, No. 3: Symphony No. 4 In F Minor, Op. 13, No. 4: Symphony No. 5 In F Minor, Op. 42, No. 1: Toccata

Four original Sonatas with the Variations in G K.501 (probably on the composer's own theme and also original duet) the Fugue in G minor K.401 (completed by M. Stadler) and two Fantasias originally for mechanical organ arranged for piano duet. CONTENTSFantasia in F minor K594; Fantasia in F minor K608; Fugue in G minor K401; Sonata in B flat K358; Sonata in C K521; Sonata in D K381; Sonata in F K497; Variations in G K501

Description The eight sonatas of Guilmant may well lay claim to classical rank. Originally conceived for the French organs of Cavaille-Col, they are sufficiently broad in conception as to lose little, if anything, in their interpretation on English and American instruments. At the time of their composition (1874-1909) they brought to the organ a new sense which had been too little cultivated by organists. Edited by A. Eaglefield Hull. Songlist Fifth Sonata In C Minor, Op.80 Fourth Sonata In D Minor, Op.61 Second Sonata In D Major, Op.50 Symphony In D Minor, Op.42 Third Sonata In C Minor, Op.56
