Par KILLMAYER WILHELM. ‘Humour plays a role, and my pieces are also an attempt to entertain people.’ Words not often associated with contemporary music, but Wilhelm Killmayer wants to place fun and seriousness side by side. Different tonal spheres are found in the “Impromptu” and the jaunty “Scherzo lento” which uses tap tones for example. The “Chorale” that follows allows the music to drift seamlessly into atonality. In the fourth romance ‘Im Schumannschen Ton’ (‘The Schumann Sound’), a diatonic melody is complicated so much that the ending distorts to the beginning, ‘just like man combines many different qualities’. In the concluding “Capriccio”, shifting time signatures and dynamic ?uctuations are combined in a virtuoso manner. A humourous piece which demands the purest concentration from the players./ Répertoire / Violoncelle et Piano

These Fantasiestucke or Fantasy Pieces - a title denoting short and expressive pieces without a specified form - were originally written for clarinet and piano; Schumann himself later made arrangements of this work for cello and for violin. The piano and clarinet parts are notated in the score of this edition; however the solo alternative cello part is also included on a separate insert.

Op 102-Although Schumann had learnt the cello for a while in his youth he only began to compose for this instrument in later life. Apart from the cello concerto only his Five Pieces op. 102 have survived as original works for thecello. Clara was delighted with them: 'These are pieces in folk style with such a freshness and originality that I was enchanted'. The 'Neue Zeitschrift für Musik' wrote: 'These pieces are less apt for a virtuoso player than awell versed one who can speak on his instrument with tone and meaning.' This edition in the best Urtext quality is particularly to be recommended for teaching purposes and for making music at home.

Original Version - Edition for Cello and Piano. Par SCHUMANN ROBERT. Schumann’s Cello Concerto Rediscovered In her first Urtext edition for Edition Peters, internationally renowned cellist Josephine Knight reveals Robert Schumann’s original version of his Cello Concerto in A minor Op. 129 – a piece he actually called a ‘Concertstück’ – removing generations of inauthentic editorial interventions. This is the only available modern scholarly edition of the work as Schumann originally conceived it, and restores the text from October 1850, based on the composer’s manuscript held in the Biblioteka Jagiellonska in Kraków. This Full Score matches the separately available edition for Cello and Piano (EP 73488). Matching orchestral material is also available from the publisher. Only modern Urtext edition based on Schumann’s original 1850 manuscript Many new corrections and clarifications, especially to the cello part Scholarly preface detailing history of the work and this edition by editor Josephine Knight, Piatti Professor of Cello at the Royal Academy of Music London Cello Part contains Josephine Knight's fingering and bowing suggestions Critical Commentary Cello and piano edition available separately from Edition Peters: orchestral parts available for rental Recording of the Concertstück featuring Josephine Knight available from Dutton Robert Schumann’s tragic last years have mired many of his greatest works in unnecessary doubt. The story of the suppression of his Violin Concerto by well-meaning friends is relatively well-known. Few, however, know that the version of the Cello Concerto that is routinely heard today is so far from Schumann’s original conception of the work – not only in details of phrasing and articulation, but also featuring a different ending with a bold final flourish from the cello. Composed in a burst of inspiration in two weeks in October 1850 shortly after he and Clara had moved to Düsseldorf, Schumann (who in 1850 was still in good health) never heard the piece performed. In an effort to promote a performance of the work, he gave the score to the cellist Robert Emil Bockmühl. Bockmühl made revisions that Schumann resisted, and the hoped-for performance never happened. Schumann’s health failed and he died aged just 46 in 1856. The Concerto, in an already substantially revised form, was premiered in 1860 but it was not given significant recognition until it was championed by Pablo Casals in the 20th century by which time (and since) the text for the work had accreted additions and alterations from generations of soloists. Now Josephine Knight, Piatti Professor of Cello at the Royal Academy of Music, London has returned to the original 1850 manuscript of the work, which is in the Biblioteka Jagiellonska in Kraków, to reveal Schumann’s original thoughts for the first time in a modern Urtext edition. The edition reflects Schumann’s original conception of the work as a Concertstück and restores Schumann’s musical text, free of posthumous interventions. ‘My ultimate wish,’ says the editor, ‘is to give performers both access to, and confidence that they are playing from, an edition which is a true representation of the piece in its original form, no matter how much more difficult this might be. I found that incorporating the changes enabled the piece to take on a completely different character – one that is lighter and happier, even “cheerful”, as Schumann himself described the work.'/ Répertoire / Violoncelle et Piano

Par STRAUSS RICHARD. Outre le Quatuor avec piano op. 13 et la Sonate pour violon op. 18, la Sonate pour violoncelle op. 6 fait partie des œuvres de musique de chambre les plus accomplies parmi l’œuvre de jeunesse de Strauss. Les influences de Mendelssohn, Schumann et Brahms se font sentir, mais laissent cependant assez de place à un langage sonore bien spécifique comportant souvent de surprenantes tournures rythmiques et mélodiques. La première version établie au printemps 1881 fut soumise par Strauss à une révision en profondeur au cours de l’hiver 1882/83: le mouvement initial fut fondamentalement retravaillé et les deux mouvements suivants furent intégralement composés à neuf. Cela en valait apparemment la peine, car, après la première exécution à Dresde, le compositeur écrivit à sa mère: «Ma Sonate a extraordinairement plu, elle a obtenu des applaudissements colossaux, j’ai été félicité de toute part.»/ Répertoire / Violoncelle et Piano

Cello World is a must for all Cellists. It is a wonderful collection of original works and arrangements from the repertoire of world-famous Cellist Steven Isserlis. The inspired line up of pieces includes Schumann's moving Intermezzo Leonard's The Donkey And The Driver and Villa-Lobo's rippling Song Of The Black Swan. This is the perfect volume for cellists looking for a variety of challenging repertoire.
