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

Johannes Brahms:The Works for one Instrument and PianoJohannes Brahms' compositions for one instrument and piano have been standards in chamber music literature ever since their inception. These works were written with specific performers in mind and Brahms worked closely with them when refining the final texts. Nevertheless, we rarely approach the music taking into consideration the possibilities of the instruments for which Brahms wrote or the performing practices of the individual players who first performed these compositions, including Brahms himself.The New Urtext EditionsBärenreiter's pioneering new scholarly-critical editions of Brahms' works for one instrument and piano are edited by a team of musicologists who are also performers. They offer today's musicians not just a reliable musical text based on all known sources, but also a comprehensive approach to the works, which aims to place them in their historical context and to elucidate the complex of meanings that the composer wished his notation to convey to performers.In addition to the musical text these editions offer an informative Introduction laying out the genesis, publication history and reception of the works. At the same time there is a complete list of the sources, an explanation of the editorial procedures and a Critical Commentary. Also, each volume contains a detailed discussion of specific performing practice issues raised by individual works.An integral part of Bärenreiter's Brahms publication complex is a text booklet which approaches general performance practice issues of the 19th century with regard to e.g. tempo, rubato, rhythmic flexibility and articulation. Furthermore musicians will find valuable information concerning vibrato, portamento and bowing. Last but not least characteristics of Brahms' own piano playing as well as that of his circle and contemporaries are discussed.The violin and viola sonata editions come not only with an Urtext part freed from all editorial emendations, but also with an additional part including fingering and bowing based on the practices of Joseph Joachim and his colleagues. These markings especially draw on publications of the sonatas edited by Joachim's pupils Leopold Auer and Ossip Schnirlin as well as those by Brahms' associate Franz Kneisel. A similar approach has been used for the violoncello sonatas, drawing on performance markings by Robert Hausmann (for whom Brahms wrote the Sonata in F major), Hugo Becker, with whom Brahms performed it, and Julius Klengel who was also close to his circle.Bärenreiter's new Brahms complex also importantly brings two neglected works back into the player's hands, namely the splendid versions of the op. 120 sonatas, originally written for viola or clarinet and piano. Brahms' arrangements for violin and piano unaccountably disappeared from the standard repertoire early in the 20th century. In these versions Brahms did not simply adjust the solo part for the violin, he made many alterations to the piano part, casting thought-provoking light on the clarinet and viola versions.- A pioneering set of Urtext editions- String editions include an Urtext solo part and a second part with fingering as well as performance markings- Each edition offers a preface on performance practice aspects pertaining to the respective works- A separate text booklet includes pioneering texts on general issues of performance practice in the 19th century as well as on specific issues with regard to Johannes Brahms' chamber music / Violon Et 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 have developed 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. 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 edition- With an unmarked Urtext part- With a second part including fingering and bowing based on the practices of contemporaries of Brahms- With an extensive Performance Practice Commentary- For further information on Romantic performance practice we recommend the text booklet: 'Performance Practices in Johannes Brahms' Chamber Music?, BA 9600 / Violon Et Piano

La ballade instrumentale était une forme de musique populaire au 19ème siècle et ces quatre pièces pour piano sont la seule contribution de Brahms au genre. Le compositeur a écrit des ballades à l'époque de son amitié étroite avec Clara Schumann, et il s'en dégage une intimité plus typique d'une ballade vocale. Les pièces, qui fait l'éloge de Schumann avec enthousiasme, ont été décrits par Brahms comme étant 'pas trop difficile à jouer et encore moins difficile à comprendre.'Ballades de Brahms op. 10 font partie intégrante de la littérature pianistique avancée. Cette publication représente un ajout précieux au répertoire des oeuvres pour piano de Brahms dans les éditions Urtext Bärenreiter. Le doigté de Brahms spécialiste Christian Köhn, la notation claire et la page se tourne optimale satisfaire aux exigences d'une édition pratique de la scène.

In addition to Bärenreiter's scholarly-critical editions of Brahms' trios, an arrangement of Brahms' String Sextet op. 18 for piano trio by his contemporary and friend Theodor Kirchner is now being published. Simrock, Brahms' publisher, issued it in 1883. Brahms responded to the arrangement of his sextet with total enthusiasm and praise for the skills of his friend Kirchner (1823-1903).Christopher Hogwood's scholarly-critical edition includes an introduction which sheds light not just on the history of the arrangement and its validity in its own right, but also on Kirchner and his relationship to Brahms.- A much welcomed edition to the piano trio literature- Includes an informative introduction (Eng/Ger) and a Critical Commentary (Eng) / Violon, Violoncelle Et Piano

Par BRAHMS JOHANNES. This treasury of 38 works for solo piano, spanning forty years of Brahms' long and prolific life, includes the famous 'Edward' ballade; two capriccios; seven Hungarian Dances in the composer's own transcriptions for solo piano; six intermezzos; three rhapsodies; the complete sixteen waltzes, op. 39; Sonata no. 3, the best known and most mature of Brahms' three piano sonatas; and the complete books of two legendary works, the Variations and Fugue on a Theme by Handel and the celebrated and dramatic Variations on a Theme by Paganini. Sometimes termed the 'Romantic Classicist', Brahms successfully merged the seemingly contradictory qualities of romanticism and classicism, blending poetry with elegance, balance and restraint. A fine, inexpensive compilation of piano classics, reproduced from authoritative scores, this volume will delight intermediate and advanced pianists./ Répertoire / Piano

Les trois sonates pour piano de Johannes Brahms op. 1, 2 et 5 font partie des premières oeuvres publiées par le jeune compositeur de vingt ans. Celle en fa mineur, op. 5, a vu le jour pour l'essentiel à l'automne 1853 durant le séjour de Brahms chez les Schumann, à Düsseldorf. Certains éléments de la partition semblent indiquer que le jeune compositeur s'est inspiré de la Sonate op. 14 de Robert Schumann, également en fa mineur. Le critique musical Eduard Hanslick a lui aussi perçu une influence de son aîné dans l'opus 5: 'Tout Brahms est déjà là, mais encore sous le charme de Schumann'. L'édition Urtext révisée s'appuie sur le texte des nouvelles oeuvres complètes de Brahms. Les subtils doigtés d'Andreas Boyde permettent d'aborder cette sonate pour piano très symphonique de la meilleure manière. / Piano

Par BRAHMS JOHANNES. Avec les numéros d’opus 1, 2, 4, 5 et 10, ce volume contient d’une certaine manière les débuts de l’œuvre pianistique de Johannes Brahms, avec laquelle le jeune pianiste et compositeur en plein essor se présenta au public. Outre les trois sonates composées en 1851-1853, le Scherzo op. 4 de 1851 représente une importante composition en un seul mouvement qui enthousiasma particulièrement Robert Schumann. C’est ainsi que Schumann, dans son célèbre article titré «Neue Bahnen» («nouvelles voies») signala dès 1853 son jeune collègue à la toute particulière attention du public. Les quatre Ballades op. 10, composées l’année suivante, viennent parachever le volume. Elles inaugurent déjà une nouvelle inflexion plus romantique, que Brahms dépeignit à l’intention de Clara Schumann de la manière suivante: «Elles ne sont pas très difficiles à jouer, et encore moins difficiles à comprendre.» Cette édition Urtext propose une révision du texte musical sur la base de la nouvelle édition complète des œuvres de Brahms, accompagnée d’une préface détaillée de l’éditrice Katrin Eich. / Date parution : 2020-07-03/ Répertoire / Piano

Johannes Brahms' late piano works in the form of the two editions HN 36 (paperbound) and 37 (clothbound) have been a cornerstone of the Henle catalogue ever since the early 1950s. In 2011 the volume with piano pieces (HN 6014) was published in the new Brahms Complete Edition, an edition of these important works that reflected the latest in scholarly research. Having already published single volumes of our Urtext editions of opus numbers 76, 79 and 116-119 with the up-to-date musical text in the Complete Edition, we are now rounding off this Brahms project by publishing the revised volume of collected works, available as a classic paperbound, clothbound or handy study edition. An open invitation to all those who wish to immerse themselves in Brahms' fascinating piano cosmos. / Piano

La Ballade écossaise «Edward», tirée du recueil de chants populaires «Stimmen der Völker in Liedern» de J. G. Herder (Voix des peuples), impressionna à tel point Brahms que, comme il le dit à un ami, les mélodies s?arrangèrent d?elles-mêmes en lui. «Edward» fournit le motif de la première des quatre ballades, contes musicaux de nature romantique et dramatique, liés pour Brahms à des souvenirs communs avec Clara Schumann. Pour Julius Grimm, à qui les pièces sont dédiées, «c?est à elle qu?appartiennent en fait les ballades». Robert Schumann quant à lui s?exprima avec enthousiasme sur l??uvre de son jeune collègue. C?est le grand pianiste Lars Vogt qui a apporté les doigtés à notre édition Urtext de cette oeuvre facile à jouer. Celle-ci offre le texte fondé à partir du volume musicologique à paraître prochainement de l?Edition Complète des ?uvres de Brahms / Classique / Editeur: Katrin Eich / Doigtés: Lars Vogt / Partition / Broché /
