for Piano Violin and Horn (Viola / Violoncello)-This Trio’s unusual scoring for horn violin and piano prompted speculation early on about a possible background to it that had no connection with music. Brahms’s biographer Max Kalbeck saw in it a lament for thecomposer’s mother recently deceased to whom he had supposedly played folk songs on the horn in his childhood. There is no doubt that Brahms loved the sound of the natural horn and bestowed several of his most inspiredmelodies on the instrument. Horn players justifiably adore this Trio op. 40 and this Henle Urtext edition now offers an optimal basis for studying and performing this masterpiece. This edition follows the musical text of the NewBrahms Complete Edition and thus guarantees the greatest fidelity to the sources and reflects the current state of research. The pianist Klaus Schilde has added helpful fingerings to the piano part. Extra parts are also providedfor the alternative scoring authorised by Brahms (with viola or cello instead of horn).

Sonata WoO postum for Violin and Piano-Edited by Clive Brown and Neal Peres Da Costa with an Urtext solo part as well as a second part with performance markings.Johannes Brahms The Works for one Instrument and Piano:Johannes Brahms? compositions for one instrument and Piano have been standards in chamber music literature ever since their inception. These works were written with specific performers in mind and Brahms worked closely with them when refining the final texts. Nevertheless we rarely approach the music taking into consideration the possibilities of the instruments for which Brahms wrote or the performing practices of the individual playerswho first performed these compositions including Brahms himself.The New Urtext Editions:Bärenreiter?s pioneering new scholarly-critical editions of Brahms? works for one instrument and Piano are edited by a team of musicologists who are also performers. They offer today?s musicians not just a reliable musical text based on all known sources but also a comprehensive approach to the works which aims to place them in their historical context and to elucidate the complex of meanings that the composer wished his notation to convey to performers.In addition to the musical text these editions offer an informative Introduction laying out the genesis publication history and reception of the works. At the same time there is a complete list of the sources an explanation of the editorial procedures and a Critical Commentary. Also each volume contains a detailed discussion of specific performing practice issues raised by individual works.An integral part of Bärenreiter?s Brahms publication complex is a text booklet which approaches general performance practice issues of the 19th century with regard to e.g. tempo rubato rhythmic flexibility and articulation. Furthermore musicians will find valuable information concerning vibrato portamento and bowing. Last but not least characteristics of Brahms? own Piano playing as well as that of his circle and contemporaries are discussed.The Violin and Viola sonata editions come not only with an Urtext part freed from all editorial emendations but also with an

These markings especially draw on publications of the sonatas edited by Joachim?s pupils Leopold Auer and Ossip Schnirlin as well as those by Brahms? associate Franz Kneisel. A similar approach has been used for the Violoncello sonatas drawing on performance markings by Robert Hausmann (for whom Brahms wrote the Sonata in F major) Hugo Becker with whom Brahms performed it and Julius Klengel who was also close to his circle.

No. 2 In G Major Op. 36. Par BRAHMS JOHANNES. Bien que le premier sextuor à cordes de Brahms ait connu un vif succès depuis sa parution en 1861, l’éditeur Simrock hésita lorsque le compositeur lui en proposa en 1865 un deuxième «dans le même caractère joyeux». Entre temps Brahms s’adressa même à la concurrence avant que Simrock ne finît par consentir à sa publication. Alors que l’oeuvre fit tout d’abord l’objet de comptes rendus plutôt sceptiques, l’opus 36 publié en 1866 trouva en revanche au sein du cercle des amis de Brahms un accueil des plus chaleureux: Clara Schumann fit l’éloge du travail d’élaboration des motifs particulièrement réussi, tandis que d’autres étaient enthousiasmés par la féerie des effets sonores. L’édition de travail établie par Katrin Eich sur la base de l’édition intégrale des oeuvres de Brahms offre désormais la possibilité de vérifier ces jugements – soit lors d’une exécution de l’oeuvre à partir des parties séparées dont les petites notes et les tournes optimales répondront aux attentes des musiciens, soit à la lecture de notre édition d’étude./ Répertoire / Eich, Katrin

Par BRAHMS JOHANNES. La première Sonate pour violon en Sol majeur de Brahms est également connue sous le surnom allemand de Regenliedsonate («Sonate du chant de la pluie»), puisqu?elle cite dans son Finale des motifs mélodiques issus de deux des lieder du compositeur: Regenlied («Chant de la Pluie») et Nachklang («Écho», qui a également la pluie pour thématique). Le motif pointé initial du Finale parcourt déjà les deux premiers mouvements, contribuant ainsi à la cohérence interne de cette ?uvre merveilleusement expressive et élégiaque. Achevée en 1879, cette sonate fut accueillie avec enthousiasme par ses contemporains - Elisabeth von Herzogenberg, liée à Brahms par une profonde amitié, affirma qu?on devait «l?aimer, comme peu de choses en ce monde». Le texte musical de cette édition Urtext révisée repose sur la mise à jour parue dans la Nouvelle édition des ?uvres complètes de Brahms, gage suffisant de fiabilité scientifique. / Date parution : 2023-03-11/ Répertoire / Violon et Piano

D major-Johannes Brahms' Violin Concerto written for his friend Joseph Joachim has remained a standard in the concert literature since its first performance. No scholarly critical edition of this work has ever been published and therefore the many sometimes conflicting sources have never been evaluated for a critical performing edition. Not only Brahms' autograph score solo part and autograph Piano reduction but also his personal copies of the first edition score as well as the first edition orchestral parts have all been consulted. Clive Brown’s edition offers insights into the genesis of the composition and the working relationshipbetween Brahms and Joachim. The critical commentary comments on all discrepancies in the sources. The critical edition of Brahms' own Piano reduction is at the same time a performing edition and includes an informative introduction as well as comments on performance practice. In addition the Piano reduction includes a separate brochure with not only the well known Joachim cadenza but also those by J. Halir H. Heermann L. Auer and F. Busoni. An informative preface (Ger/Eng) with references to performance practice and a critical commentary are included in the edition First scholarly critical edition of this standard work Critical commentary (Eng) Insightful comments on performance practice An Urtext Violin part and an additional Violin part marked with fingering and bowing suggestions by Joseph Joachim Valuable cadenza brochure with cadenzas by Joachim Halir Heermann Auer and Busoni Full score critical commentary & parts (BA9049) and Violin & Piano reduction (BA9049-90) and study score (TP949) available for sale

for Violin and Piano-Brahms had already announced his ?retirement? from composition when in the spring of 1894 he played chamber music with the cellist Robert Hausmann and the clarinettist Richard Mühlfeld. This encounter apparently renewed his enthusiasm for Mühlfeld?s much admired playing and inspired him to write two Clarinet sonatas in the summer of the same year.Brahms conceived an alternate version of the works for Viola from the beginning and already before the publication of these two versions he intended to do another one for Violin a version which was to require changes and was to result in an independent edition. While the Clarinet and Viola versions havedeveloped a rich performance tradition the Violin version is almost unknown. Yet for the Violin version the composer revised the original Clarinet part much more extensively than he did for the Viola version and also rewrote the Piano part to achieve a thoroughly convincing Violin and Piano idiom. This Bärenreiter edition aims to bring the neglected Violin Sonatas Op. 120 back into players? hands.An important part of this edition is the extensive preface. Firstly it informs about the sonatas? origins their compositional process pre-publication performances their publication history as well as early reception. Truly remarkable is the unique Performance Practice Commentary. Here the editors start from the premise that already a few decades after Brahms' death a widening gulf developed between the composer's expectations and the performance practices of the early 20th century. On the basis of manifold sources which include memoirs by pupils and chamber music partners treatises and essays early instructive editions and historical recordings the editors deal with key issues in understanding Brahms' notation. By a section-by-section analysis of rhythm and timing dynamics and accentuation dots and strokes slurring and non legato Piano pedalling and overholding Piano arpeggiation and dislocation string instrument fingering string instrument harmonics and vibrato the editors provide an indispensable assistance for a historically informed interpretation of the works.At the same time the edition offers an exciting and

Déjà accueilli avec enthousiasme par les contemporains, l?unique concerto pour violon de Brahms reste encore aujourd?hui un morceau de répertoire majeur. Témoignage de la collaboration fructueuse qui s?était établie entre le compositeur et Joseph Joachim, est la cadence écrite et ajoutée par ce dernier. La réduction pour piano originale de Brahms, particulièrement exigeante sur le plan pianistique, a fait l?objet d?un «élagage» prudent pour la présente édition de la part de Johannes Umbreit. Se basant sur le texte de la «Neue Brahms-Gesamtausgabe» (nouvelle édition complète des ?uvres de Brahms), la présente édition Urtext reproduit en annexe une variante, jusqu?ici inédite dans les éditions pour la pratique, de la cadence de Joachim. Outre les doigtés et annotations originaux, elle présente aussi les propositions de doigté de Frank Peter Zimmermann. / Classique / Réduction pour piano: Johannes Umbreit, Doi / Partition / Edition Urtext

Urtext Edition-Brahms had already composed over 20 String quartets (he confessed to a friend that he had burnt all of that ?stuff?) before he finally presented his Opus 51 to the public. In the end only three surviving works managedto withstand his high self-criticism; numerous layers of corrections bear witness to his struggle with each detail. We are now publishing the two passionate dark Quartets Op. 51 separately from the rather more lively Opus67. The basis for this edition is the volume in the New Complete Edition of Brahms? works published in 2004 by Henle for which previously missing sources in a Swiss bequest were consulted for the firsttime.

Les trios avec piano comptent parmi les grands genres de la musique de chambre classique et Brahms s?y consacra très tôt. Il composa son opus 8 au cours de l?automne et de l?hiver 1853/54 c?est-à-dire à l?âge de 20 ans. Par contre ses deux autres trios avec piano op. 87 en Ut majeur et op. 101 en ut mineur ne virent le jour que 28 et 32 ans plus tard. On sait que pa-rallèlement au trio en Ut majeur Brahms travaillait aussi à un autre trio en Mi bémol majeur qu?il détruisit probablement. En 1889 il décida de reprendre son premier trio avec piano et le remania à tel point qu?il écrivit à Clara Schumann: «J?ai réécrit mon trio en Si majeur». L?édition Henle-Urtext reprendle trio op. 8 dans la seconde version parue en 1891 mais pro-pose également la première version en annexe.

Brahms's Concerto for Violin and Orchestra Op.77 begins unusually with a gentle Allegro ma non troppo in 3/4 time which becomes more virtuosic as it progresses. This is followed by a whimsical Adagio which begins with wind solos. The final movement opens with the soloist playing a fast fanfare-like theme in thirds with minimal accompaniment. The orchestra burst in after eight bars to answer the violin and the movement becomes a joyful yet frantic Finale.Available here for Solo Violin and Piano accompaniment/orchestral reduction is a Great Performer's Edition of Brahms’ Violin Concerto in D Op.77 as edited by the great Yehudi Menuhin.
