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

Study Score. Par BRAHMS JOHANNES. Après l'édition Urtext nouveau sextuor à cordes de Brahms en op si bémol majeur. 18 (BA 9419, publié en Février 2011), Barenreiter présente maintenant l'édition Urtext nouvelles du sextuor à cordes en sol majeur op. 36. Ces deux sextuors à cordes de Johannes Brahms figurent parmi les points forts de la chaîne de répertoire romantique et certains de la musique de chambre les plus populaires de tous les travaux. Christopher Hogwood a pris toutes les sources connues en considération, y compris les versions pour piano à deux et quatre mains par le compositeur écrit ainsi que d'un ensemble de pièces contemporaines du spectacle qui offre variantes et des idées en pratique la performance durant la vie de Brahms. Le score étude inclut les pages de télécopie, un avant-propos (Ger / Eng) et un commentaire critique (Eng) sur le travail et l'histoire de la composition. / Répertoire / Violon, Alto et Violoncelle

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

No. 2 In G Major Op. 36. Par BRAHMS JOHANNES. Bien que le premier sextuor à cordes de Brahms ait connu un vif succès depuis sa parution en 1861, l’éditeur Simrock hésita lorsque le compositeur lui en proposa en 1865 un deuxième «dans le même caractère joyeux». Entre temps Brahms s’adressa même à la concurrence avant que Simrock ne finît par consentir à sa publication. Alors que l’oeuvre fit tout d’abord l’objet de comptes rendus plutôt sceptiques, l’opus 36 publié en 1866 trouva en revanche au sein du cercle des amis de Brahms un accueil des plus chaleureux: Clara Schumann fit l’éloge du travail d’élaboration des motifs particulièrement réussi, tandis que d’autres étaient enthousiasmés par la féerie des effets sonores. L’édition de travail établie par Katrin Eich sur la base de l’édition intégrale des oeuvres de Brahms offre désormais la possibilité de vérifier ces jugements – soit lors d’une exécution de l’oeuvre à partir des parties séparées dont les petites notes et les tournes optimales répondront aux attentes des musiciens, soit à la lecture de notre édition d’étude./ Répertoire / Eich, Katrin

pour clarinette (La), 2 violons, alto, et violoncelle. Par BRAHMS JOHANNES. En 1890, Brahms avait pour ainsi dire pris la résolution d’en finir avec la composition. Mais sa rencontre avec le clarinettiste Richard Mühlfeld lui donna tellement d’inspiration qu’en peu de temps il composa aussitôt plusieurs œuvres pour lui. Le Quintette op. 115 aux mélodies célestes fait partie depuis sa création en 1891 des œuvres préférées du public comme des musiciens. Dès la préparation pour la mise à l’impression – et sans doute avec un regard sur la diffusion future de l’œuvre – fut réalisée une version alternative avec un alto à la place de la clarinette, qui fut créée par ni plus ni moins que le grand Joseph Joachim lui-même, et qui reçut l’autorisation de Brahms. C’est pourquoi l’édition Urtext de Henle, revue sur la base du texte de la Nouvelle édition intégrale des œuvres de Brahms, comprend également la partie d’alto alternative. La responsable d’édition Kathrin Kirsch donne dans une courte préface un aperçu sur la genèse de l’œuvre, et fournit dans les Bemerkungen ou Comments d’intéressants éléments de discussion sur les variantes liées à la réception de l’œuvre./ Répertoire / Clarinette (La), 2 Violons, Alto et Violoncelle

Par SENFTER JOHANNA. The number of well-known clarinet quintets is quite small. The only major composers whose clarinet quintets are relatively widespread are Mozart, Brahms, Weber and Reger. The composer Johanna Senfter (1879-1961) from Oppenheim admired the music of Johannes Brahms and of Max Reger who was her teacher. Her chamber music œuvre conveys a certain closeness to the clarinet. She even wrote a Sonata for clarinet, viola, horn and piano, op. 37, a Sonata for clarinet or viola and piano, op. 57, as well as a Trio for clarinet, horn and piano, op. 60. Continuing the historic line of Brahms and Reger, the clarinet quintet is steeped in the harmony, compositional style and expressiveness of her teacher Reger - a style which she developed even further and increased in expressiveness. This quintet is, without doubt, a valuable addition to the repertoire./ Répertoire / Clarinette et Quatuor à Cordes
