No genre reflects Skrjabin?s artistic evolution more vividly than his piano sonatas. Sonatas Nos. 6, 7 and 8 which are presented in this edition were written between 1911 and 1913, at times contemporaneously with the late Sonatas Nos. 9 and 10. All autographs and printed sources including Skrjabin?s sketches and drafts have been thoroughly evaluated. The edition presents a meticulously edited musical text offering new readings and is supplemented by an informative Preface on the sonatas? genesis and significance (Ger/Eng). The Critical Commentary (Eng) provides information on alternative readings and editorial decisions. An elegant well-presented engraving with practical page-turns rounds off this edition at the cutting edge of musical scholarship.

1722-1725. Par BACH JOHANN-SEBASTIAN. In 1721 a 20-year-old soprano employed at the princely court in Köthen married the court's Kapellmeister, set to become the greatest composer of the age. As his second wife she married into a young family with four children, and a busy household filled with music. The music book that Johann Sebastian Bach presented to his new wife Anna Magdalena in 1722, and replaced more lavishly in 1725, treats us to a tantalizing glimpse inside this unique family, allowing us to sit beside Bach as a composer, teacher, husband and father. Over the years, these notebooks became a place for the family to share instructional exercises, favourite pieces - by Bach and other composers - to play orsing, early composition efforts from the children, and first versions of some of Bach's more ambitious keyboard works. What is usually presented as 'the' Anna Magdalena Notebook is a set of excerpts from the 1725 collection. The scholarship that informed the New Bach Edition in 1957 has been greatly developed and expanded since then. Now, for the first time, Edition Peters presents a new Urtext edition of the Notebooks for Anna Magdalena Bach. - Contains all the material from the 1722 and 1725 notebooks together in one volume, in the original landscape format - Edited by pre-eminent Bach scholar Christoph Wolff, Harvard Professor and former Director of the Leipzig Bach ArchiveRepresents the very latest in Bach scholarship, reflecting up-to-the-minute research on texts, authorship and copyists - Extensive preface, detailed critical commentary, and beautifully engraved notation - Hardcover clothbound edition with gold embossing - Printed in Köthen and bound in Leipzig - the home of Bach and the home of Edition Peters - this cutting-edge, premium modern edition's journey to your library retraces the Bach family's own move from the princely town to the city. This premium edition offers a truly best-in-class publication.

The three popular sonatas op. 10 were written between the end of 1795 and the beginning of 1798, only shortly after Beethoven had completed his first fully-fledged sonatas op. 2. In the press they were announced as ?3 very nice piano sonatas' of a composer whose name would sufficiently guarantee ?for the quality of his work to the audience.' The three technically and musically demanding works, which reach their peak with the third sonata and its highly expressive 'Largo e mesto?, have their firm place in advanced piano teaching. The musicologist Jonathan Del Mar, intimate connoisseur of Beethoven's music, evaluates all sources and editions published during Beethoven's lifetime for the present scholarly-critical Urtext edition. Particularly enlightening is the chapter on period performance practice which sheds light on certain issues of Beethoven's instruments and their range, the usage of the pedals, tempo, dynamics, articulation and ornaments. The Introduction offers information on the work and its genesis. The detailed Critical Commentary accounts for sources, readings and editorial emendations. In this edition great care has been given to a user-friendly layout which on the one hand reflects the flow and tempo of the music and on the other hand facilitates the study of this complex music by means of a transparent and clear appearance on the page as well as good page turns. - Urtext performance edition at the cutting edge of scholarship - Optimal page turns - Informative Introduction - Valuable suggestions on period performance practice (Eng/Ger) - Detailed Critical Commentary (Eng) / Piano
