Franz Schubert wrote his Arpeggione Sonata for piano and arpeggione, a hybrid instrument that was part guitar, part violoncello and fashionable at that time. Today, the piece has become a standard work for violoncello and piano, an instrumentation chosen for the present edition as well. For the few players of an arpeggione, a solo part is available at www.wiener-urtext.com [1]. The edition follows, for the most part, the text of Schubert's extant autograph. / Violoncelle Et Piano

Ausgabe für Violoncello. Par SCHUBERT FRANZ. Une bonne intention n’est jamais assez bonne (d’après Kurt Tucholsky): l’Arpeggione, cette sorte d’hybride – une grande guitare frottée par un archet – n’a jamais réussi à s’imposer auprès des musiciens. Cette curiosité organologique serait certainement déjà tombée depuis longtemps dans l’oubli le plus total si précisément Franz Schubert n’avait pas composé sa sonate en La mineur pour cet instrument. Et cette oeuvre en trois mouvements est vraiment immortelle. Mais elle pose aussi un problème pour l’Urtext, car sans certaines interventions dans le texte, la partie d’arpeggione originale ne pourrait être exécutée sur l’instrument le plus proche au niveau du timbre, àsavoir l’alto ou le violoncelle. La maison d’édition G. Henle résout ainsi le dilemme: d’une part, la partie d’arpeggione originale est superposée à la partie de piano originale (partition), de l’autre, dans la partie séparée jointe à la partition les rares changements d’octaves indispensables sont clairement indiqués. Il était hors de question pour nous d’envisager une autre partie – le violon par exemple (comme dans l’édition Diabelli parue après la mort du compositeur), la flûte ou tout autre instrument mélodique à tessiture aiguë – car toutes ces alternatives s’écartent trop des représentations de timbre que pouvait avoir Schubert. Dans le meilleur des cas, on pourrait envisager – pourquoi pas? – une partie de contrebasse. / Partition brochée / Répertoire / Violoncelle et Piano
