For The Left Het For Piano et Orchestra. Par RAVEL MAURICE. In 1929 Paul Wittgenstein, a pianist and war veteran who lost his right arm in the Great War, commissioned Maurice Ravel to write a concerto for him to perform. The result was one of Ravel's most thrilling compositions and, for Wittgenstein, the most important of the many works he commissioned over the course of his career. This scholarly-critical edition of Ravel's Concerto for the Left Hand is based on previously inaccessible and unknown sources. The editor, Douglas Woodfull-Harris, was able to consult manuscripts in the private library of the Paul Wittgenstein Estate which allowed him to retrace the work's evolution from Ravel's autograph working copy to the first printededition. The piano reduction in our edition contains both Ravel's and Wittgenstein's fingerings. Also included is a solo part without fingering, thereby giving pianists the opportunity to enter their own fingering after having studied those of Ravel and Wittgenstein.

A source of key importance to our new edition is a handwritten French copy of Ravel 's own Piano reduction (the autograph is inaccessible) that he gave to Wittgenstein to facilitate rehearsing the work. This copy is the sole source reflecting Wittgenstein's own interpretation and containing his changes to the final cadenza. It also helps us to understand omissions in the first edition of the score as well as the Piano reduction, and enabled the editor, amongst other things, to correct a great many notes which could be found in previous editions, including the solo Piano part. The Piano reduction in our edition contains both Ravel 's and Wittgenstein's fingering. Also included is a solo part without fingering, thereby giving pianists the opportunity to enter their own fingering after having studied those of Ravel and Wittgenstein. Score and orchestral parts in large format (25. 5 x 32. 5 cm) Includes source descriptions and a Critical Commentary with alternative readings (Eng) Informative Introduction on the work's history and genesis (Ger/Eng/Fr) With facsimile pages Piano reduction with separate Urtext solo part enclosed Full score & parts (BA7881) and two-Piano reduction (BA7881-90) available for sale./ Répertoire / Piano et Orchestre

Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Bach ’s Harpsichord concerti, extremely popular among pianists, are presumably reworkings of pieces originally written for the Violin. Bach, however, succeeded in transferring the diverse idiosyncrasies of Violin technique to the keyboard with such ingenuity that most of today’s pianists also include these concerti in their standard repertoire. The first concerto in d minor is perhaps the most popular – not least because of its jaunty outer movements and the eminently forceful solo part. Now, as a prelude to a series of all of Bach ’s Harpsichord concerti, G. Henle Publishers presents a Piano reduction and study edition (score) of the d-minorconcerto. None other than András Schiff, the outstanding Bach expert, has provided fingering suggestions. / Müllemann, Norbert / Répertoire / Piano et Orchestre

Beethoven's fifth and final piano concerto is at the same time the culmination of his efforts in this genre and a reflection of all his artistic skill and expertise. The surviving manuscripts provide a clear insight into his working methods and his intentions regarding the work's performance.The editor, Jonathan Del Mar, has closely scrutinised the autograph solo piano part and reproduced Beethoven's sophisticated performance instructions for the first time in a modern edition. Among other things, this has special repercussions for the left-hand figured bass line of the piano part during the tutti passages.As with the Piano Concertos Nos. 1 to 4, the piano reduction appears with a separate solo part containing all the information needed by the soloist to conduct the ensemble from the piano.- Many wholly new corrections in the solo and orchestral parts- Piano reduction with a separate solo part, as was customary in Beethoven's day- With Beethoven's continuo figures for the first time in a modern edition / Alto

Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Bach's mastery of rhythm and harmony, inventiveness, and genius for composition produced some of the richest and most beautiful music of all time. Those qualities are strikingly evident in his early concerti, which are among the most recorded and performed works in the Baroque repertoire. This volume reprints, complete and unabridged, seven complete concerti for solo keyboard and orchestra from the renowned Bach-Gesellschaft edition, still considered the primary source for Bach's music./ Répertoire / Piano et Orchestre

Par TIPPETT MICHAEL SIR. Tippett and rsquo -s Concerto pour Piano - écrit entre 1953 et 1955 - peut être considéré comme un commentaire du milieu du XXe siècle sur et une réaction contre les types ancien concerto héroïque et percussion. Son inspiration initiale est venue lorsque Tippett entendu Gieseking répéter le premier mouvement de Beethoven and rsquo -s quatrième Concerto de Piano pour un concert en 1950. Tippett écrivit plus tard de la genèse de son propre concerto: and lsquo-sous l'influence d'une performance exceptionnellement poétique pourtant classique du mouvement de Beethoven, je me retrouvais persuadé qu'un concerto contemporain pourrait être écrit, dans lequel le piano est utilisé une fois de plus pour ses capacités poétiques. and rsquo - hormis les influences de jeu self-acknowledged, la principale influence sur le langage musical du concerto, comme le reconnaît Tippett lui-même, a son propre opéra The Midsummer Marriage, où il venait de terminer. Comme le compositeur lui-même des commentaires sur son concerto, and lsquo-la musique est riche, linéaire et lyrique, comme dans cet opéra. and rsquo -/ Répertoire / Piano et Orchestre
