Carl Czerny (1791?1857) was an Austrian pianist, teacher, and composer who studied with Beethoven and taught Franz Liszt. Although he was a capable and prolific composer, he is best remembered for his piano studies, a series of exacting graded exercises that remain in wide use. The father of modern piano technique, Czerny advised developing technique independently from music, and his exercises are devised to render all fingers equally strong and well trained.

La nouvelle collection Primo ('Urtext Primo-Reihe') de la Wiener Urtext Edition ('édition viennoise - texte original') a pour objectif de remédier au manque qui existe entre la fin de l'étude d'une méthode de piano et le passage à la suite du processus sous forme de cours. Au sortir d'un niveau défini dans ses grandes lignes par le menuet en sol de Bach (BWV Anh. 116), le menuet en fa de Mozart (KV 5) ou le Cavalier sauvage de Schumann, chaque cahier du Urtext Primo-Reihe se compose d'oeuvres choisies parmi celles de trois compositeurs différents, le but étant d'offrir à chaque élève de piano (ou à chaque adulte reprenant le piano) un éventail de morceaux du répertoire à l'aide desquels on sera en mesure de continuer à développer ses capacités techniques. Le cadre de difficulté des pièces est défini avec une relative étroitesse de manière à permettre une utilisation continue du volume sur une période d'environ deux ans. C'est en cela que le concept de 'Urtext Primo-Reihe' se distingue de presque tous les autres albums ou recueils. Dans le choix du répertoire, on tient compte de la nécessité d'y faire figurer des pièces habituelles au cadre du cours de piano classique, d'une part, mais aussi d'autre part des pièces moins connues dont la pertinence dans un cours de piano n'est pas moindre. Les volumes de la collection Urtext Primo-Reihe sont publiés au standard international de la Wiener Urtext-Ausgabe. Les explications adjointes à chaque volume ont pour objet d'approfondir les connaissances en matière de styles, d'histoire de la musique, et de données spécifiques au piano. Un tableau du répertoire porté à la fin de chaque volume donne une idée très globale de la difficulté des pièces y figurant. Le volume 6 de Urtext Primo contient, avec Clementi, Czerny et Cramer, des pièces de piano faciles de trois compositeurs qui ont tous trois fait partie du premier rang des pédagogues du piano, ayant composé pour lui des méthodes et des pièces de répertoire d'étude. De Muzio Clementi, il n'existe pas seulement une sélection de ses sonatines les plus populaires, les pièces choisies de Carl Czerny démontrent qu'on n'a pas toujours besoin des vieilles recettes de leçons de piano, tandis que Johann Baptist Cramer (rendu célèbre par les Etudes de Cramer-Bülow) est l'auteur d'un répertoire qui n'est pas exclusivement destiné aux pianistes de haut niveau. / Piano

La compilation de cette collection d'études, l'auteur a été déplacé principalement par le désir de produire un travail qui serait introduire l'élève progressivement à tous les problèmes de la technique de piano, lui donner confiance et installations techniques, développer ses dons pianistique et donc lui fournir le contexte technique et musical pour lui permettre de maîtriser le matériel purement musical sans trop grand un effort. Des études sont également utiles dans l'élaboration d'un sens musical, si joué avec goût et son charme et pas pratiqué de manière terne et mécanique. Plus les difficultés techniques sont graduellement, plus va tirer de ces études du côté purement musical. La majorité des études dans le premier volume ont été choisie délibérément sous la forme de la triade, avec ceux de diatoniques. Partant de la triade, l'étudiant est accordée à l'occasion de combiner ces exercices avec ses autres études musicales. Formation de l'oreille est donnée une application pratique... / Piano

If the nickname 'Appassionata? was appropriate for one of Beethoven's Sonatas, it would be for his E-flat major Sonata op. 7 rather than his famous work in F minor op. 57. This was Carl Czerny's opinion who felt that op. 7 was written in a rather passionate state of mind. It was not only Beethoven's first 'Grande Sonate? but also his first work of this genre which he had published individually.The earliest sketches for Beethoven's Grande Sonate op. 7 date from 1796 and the first edition was issued in October 1797. This work is one of the longest and most demanding of Beethoven's piano sonatas. Its four movements cover a wide range of emotions - a challenge that may well have overtaxed the dedicatee, Beethoven's then 16 year old pupil Anna Luise Barbara (Babette) Countess Keglevicz.The worldwide renowned Beethoven specialist Jonathan Del Mar draws on all available sources for his scholarly-critical Urtext edition. The result of his thorough research is a reliable musical text accompanied by a detailed Critical Commentary. The elegant engraving with practical page turns and an optimal layout for this complex music meet the needs of performers. Indispensable information on performance-related issues (the use of the pedal, articulation, ornaments) adds to the value of this edition. / Piano

on a Given Theme Most Excellent Composers and Virtuosos Diabelli Variations. Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. Beethoven's 'Diabelli Variations”, written between 1819 and 1823, mark the pinnacle of his oeuvre for variations and next to Bach's 'Goldberg Variations” form one of the most important contributions to this genre. In addition to Beethoven, 50 other composers from Austria, mainly Vienna, followed Diabelli's call to create variations for his famous waltz, among them Czerny, Moscheles, Fr. X. Mozart, Schubert, the 11-year-old Liszt and J. N. Hummel. The variations first printed by Diabelli fictively as 'Fatherlandish Union of Artists Part I” (Beethoven's op. 120) and 'Part II” (the 50 variations of Vienna's 'most excellent composers and virtuosos”) are presented here by Mario Aschauer for the first time in one edition. Furthermore the variations of Part II appear in an Urtext edition for the first time. The musical text is based on a meticulous study of the sources and for the first time relevant discrepancies between the main sources are presented in light grey print. A detailed Critical Commentary (Eng) and notes regarding Viennese piano performance practice during Beethoven's day complete this special Urtext edition based on the most current research. / Niveau : 6 / Classique / Répertoire / Piano

Par FERTE ARMAND. The scarcity of practice collections devoted to a speciality defined problem of technique has often been deplored by both teachers and pupils. However, Masters of piano playing have written such collections whose number is countless and which deal with difficulties of all kinds. Unfortunately, they are spread over a very large number of music books. The volumes referred to above countain a sufficiently great number to allow counteracting this dispersion. Each collection embraces only the studies intended solely for one of the manifold particularities of piano technique. Carefully revised and judiciously chosen, they will help the pupil to correct efficiently, certain weaknesses in his technique and thus improve systematically, his piano playing as a whole. / Études et exercices / Etude / Piano
