Johannes
Brahms twice chose a
theme by his friend and
mentor Robert Schumann as
the basis for piano
variations. While the
Variations op. 9 were
composed for piano solo,
as an exception he wrote
Opus 23 for a four-hand
scoring. Its tender,
chorale-like theme is
particularly touching and
was carefully chosen by
Brahms: It was among
Robert Schumann's last
musical thoughts, which
the composer, already
tormented by severe
delusions, believed he
heard from the voices of
angels. The Variations,
composed in 1861, end
with a kind of funeral
march and can be
understood as a wistful
farewell to his deceased
friend. The musical text
is based on the New
Brahms Complete Edition,
thus ensuring the highest
accuracy and reflecting
the most current state of
research. Furnished with
fingerings by Andreas
Groethuysen, a proven
specialist for the
four-hand repertoire,
this Urtext edition
leaves nothing to be
desired.

From the
preface:
The aim
of the publication of
these four-handed piano
compositions is to fill a
void within the sphere of
sight-reading (and
almost sight-reading) at
the beginner and
intermediate level. These
three volumes together
contain 36 Nordic folk
songs from Denmark,
Norway, Sweden, Finland
and the Faroe
Islands. The selection is
based first and foremost
on their being well
suited to the
instrumental
expressive possibilit
ies of the piano, and
being good
representatives of the
rich and atmospheric
Nordic musical
heritage. When one
practises sight-reading
on one’s own it is
tempting to stop as
onegoes along, because
the desire to
play the correct
notes is often given
priority at the expense
of the rhythm and
expression. Music
without an organic pulse
will leave the player
with an unsatisfactory
feeling of stress and
failure, and
the stream of thought
will not form part of a
natural flow. Good
sight-reading training is
therefore ensemble
playing, where the
teacher supports the
pulse and rhythm. In
many other publications
of four-handed duets the
secundo part is written
in two bass clefs, and
the primo part in
two treble clefs.
Reading this untrained
combination of clefs,
along with the stressful
fact that the music has
never been seen nor
heard before, can confuse
the pupil. In volumes
1 and 2 the secundo part,
which is intended for the
pupil, is therefore
notated in a treble clef
and bass clef, as
piano music for two hands
is usually notated. In
volume 3 the degree of
difficulty is more
varied, but in
most of the pieces
improvisation is an
interposed element in the
primo part, being
therefore a good
challenge for the
pupil. In the
improvisatory sections a
chord or a scale is
notated. These can form
the tonal starting point,
but here too
the pupil is
encouraged to experiment
with, for example, the
shift between major and
minor thirds, and between
the high and low
sixth and seventh.
