Par SCHUMANN ROBERT. In 1925, Breitkopf & Härtel approached the young pianist Wilhelm Kempff to prepare Clara Schumann’s “Instructive Edition” of her husband’s works for the new engraving. “[…] The comparison with the autograph and the Urtext edition [First Schumann Complete Edition], the results of the Schumann research, the modern principles of notation – all of this would have to be taken into account in the new engraving and could lead to a significant improvement in the edition without compromising the spirit of editing by Clara Schumann. ” The present edition thus conveys the reading of one of the most important pianists of the twentieth century, which we make fully accessible intime for the 200th birthday of Clara Schumann.

Song Cycle. Par SCHUMANN ROBERT. 1840 was Schumann ’s famous “year of song” that brought forth over 100 lieder. They included Myrthen op. 25, which he dedicated “to his dear bride”, Clara Wieck-Schumann. Besides famous songs such as “Widmung”, “Lotosblume” and “Nussbaum” to texts by German poets, the collection also saw Schumann venture further afield, whether to the Scottish Highlands with settings of Robert Burns or to Italy for the “Venetian Songs” of Thomas Moore. Schumann specialist Kazuko Ozawa has examined the first edition of 1840 and all the manuscript sources. Among the dedicatory autograph copies she has also discovered interestingearly versions of individual songs that are here published in an appendix. Our Urtext edition is rounded off with an extensive history of how Myrthen was composed. This volume is a superlative addition to G. Henle Verlag’s series of Robert Schumann ’s song cycles. / Ozawa, Kazuko / Répertoire / Voix (h) et Piano

Par SCHUMANN ROBERT. Clara Wieck's sincerest wish was that her future husband, Robert Schumann, turn his extraordinary genius toward the larger and more challenging task of composing orchestral music. Confiding in her diary in 1839, just one year before her marriage, she explained that ; it would be best if he composed for Orchestra: his imagination cannot find sufficient scope in the Piano… In the years that followed their marriage Robert Schumann continued to devote much of his attention to Piano music, but he also found the time to comply with his beloved Clara's wish by creating a number of musical pieces composed specifically for Piano andOrchestra. Although Schumann 's genius is most in evidence in his masterful solo Piano compositions and superb lieder, his lively and provocative imagination manifests itself with equal aplomb in the works composed for Piano and Orchestra. The same compelling romantic and lyrical qualities that captivate lovers of Schumann 's Piano music are evident in these compositions. Three of his finest are presented here in full score, including the A Minor Piano Concerto, one of the most popular and frequently performed concertos ever written. All demonstrate his remarkably innovative approach to music, diverting substantially from the classic models of the day, and display his immense creativity as well as his warmth and sensitivity. Included in this collection of Schumann 's compositions for Piano and Orchestra are: Piano Concerto In A minor, Op. 54 (published 1846) Concertstuck, Op. 92 (Introduction and Allegro appassionato; published 1852) Introduction and Allegro, Op. 134 (published 1855) These three works by one of the greatest masters of romanticism will delight musicians, music lovers and students, as well as devotees of Schumann. Pianists will be especially pleased to have these appealing Schumann works in one convenient edition available at / Date parution : 2019-12-12/ Répertoire / Piano et Orchestre

Album per la gioventù Op. 68. Par SCHUMANN ROBERT. The volume brings together two of Robert Schumann’s most famous collections of piano pieces for the young. Scenes from the Childhood (Kinderszenen), op. 15, contains a series of short pieces for piano written by Schumann in February 1838. These form the German composer’s poetic cycles, together with the Kreisleriana. As their titles suggest, Schumann had been inspired by some letters written by his wife, Clara Wieck, in which she reflects on his sometimes infantile spirit. As the great composer said himself: “There is a bit of everything, yet at the same time they are such easy pieces toremember”. Album for the Young (Album für die Jugend), op. 68, is a collection of simple pieces composed by Robert Schumann in 1848 for his three daughters. This album contains 43 easy pieces, split between “for the youngest ones” and “the older ones”. Edition in three languages: Italian, English and French / Niveau : Intermédiaire / Date parution : 1905-07-07/ Répertoire / Piano

Schumann's song cycle 'Frauenliebe und Leben?, on poems by Adelbert von Chamisso, deals with the trauma of a woman who loses the man who was her first love and the guiding light of her life. Schumann himself completed what is perhaps his most unified song cycle in blissful anticipation of his union with Clara Wieck.This new edition presents the work on the basis of the first print, using Schumann's autograph for purposes of consultation. The alternative readings in the autograph vocal part also give singers valuable tips for a nuanced delivery of the words.- Original edition for medium voice- Comprehensive bilingual foreword (Ger/Eng) and Critical Commentary (Ger)- The song texts are printed separately and include English translations taken from Richard Stokes' publication 'The Book of Lieder?ContentsI.

for 2 Violins, Viola and Violoncello. Par SCHUMANN ROBERT. 'The next I'll do is 3 violin quartets' wrote Schumann to Clara Wieck in 1838, stating his reasons in a letter dated 17 March 1838: 'The thought of the quartets gives me pleasure. The piano is getting too narrow for me. In composing now I often hear a lot of things that I can barely suggest. For instance, it is remarkable how I invent almost everything canonically and never discover the imitating voices until afterward, very often in inversions, inverted rhythms.' The new urtext edition is based on the text of the Schumann Complete Edition./ Répertoire / Quatuor à Cordes

J'ai encore une fois composé tellement que parfois il me semble tout à fait étrange. Oh, je ne peux pas elle, j'aimerais me chanter à mort comme un Rossignol. ' 138 de ses chansons à peu près 250 ont été écrites dans le 'année de lieder' 1840. Ce fut l'année lorsque les longues années de querelles sur son mariage avec Clara Wieck est enfin entrées à une fin heureuse par ordonnance de la Cour. Mais même les années suivantes s'est avéré pour être productif pour ce qui est de la composition de lieder. L'édition actuelle contient les lieder qui font partie de ' Le oeuvre tardive ' de Schumann ou qui ont été publiés assez tard. Il est basé sur la publié récemment Vol. VI/6 (RSA 1043-10) de l'édition complète de Robert Schumann. / Voix Elevée(s) Et Piano

Par GALLOIS JEAN. Ayant grandi dans les décou-vertes des littératures romantiques de son temps, Robert Schumann (1810-1856) abandonne ses études de droit pour se consacrer à  la musique, ambitionnant de devenir le plus grand pianiste de son temps et d'épouser la fille de son professeur, Clara Wieck. C'est finalement elle qui Mènera une carriêre internationale, promouvant les compositions de son époux et donnant naissance à  8 enfants. Eternel tourmenté oscillant entre Eusébius (son double lumineux et rêveur) et Florestan (sa part sombre, tourmentée et suicidaire), Schumann finit par sombrer dans la folie et termina les deux derniêres années de sa vie dans un asile, s'éteignant à  seulement quarante-six ans. Il a laissé un vaste catalogue typiquement romantique - notamment plus de 150 Lieder, 4 symphonies, 3 piêces lyriques, de nombreux cycles pour piano et de la musique de chambre - où son merveilleux sens de la mélodie se développe dans une écriture raffinée. / Broché / Livre / Livres

Par SCHUMANN CLARA. Clara Schumann (née Wieck) was undoubtedly the most important female pianist of the 19th century. As a young child she toured Europe as a prodigy: her entire career as a celebrated piano virtuoso spanned more than 60 years. Equally important, but less well known, is the composer Clara Schumann, who published her Opus 1 at the age of eleven. Despite the domestic duties expected of a woman at that time, she created numerous outstanding piano works and songs that are at least the equal of those of her male contemporaries. However, society at that time did not allow women to be regarded as fully-fledged composers or for their works to be appreciated adequately. To help give this important composer the recognition she deserves, Edition Peters, in collaboration with the Schumann-Haus Leipzig, is now, on the occasion of her 200th birthday, publishing this Anniversary Songbook. The 14 songs, representing the pinnacle of Clara's art, were composed mainly in the period after her marriage in Leipzig to Robert Schumann - who was her greatest champion. This volume includes: - new practical editions of 14 of Clara Schumann's greatest songs - introductions to each song, written by Frances Falling, Schumann-Haus Leipzig - new English translations of the song lyrics - a CD containing recordings of the piano accompaniments / Niveau : Moyen / Répertoire / Voix Moyenne et Basse et Piano
