One of
Saint-Saëns' mature
works, the Six Ã?tudes
pour piano op. 52,
appeared in 1877 around
the same time as his
opera Samson et Dalila.
The second etude of the
cycle was originally
written in 1868 for the
â??Ã?cole du
pianisteâ?, the French
edition of the piano
method by Lebert and
Stark. With his
collection, the composer
who had embarked on a
compilation of piano
etudes for the first
time, evidently wanted to
deliberately? distinguish
the cycle from the
character of the
brilliant concert etude:
Each of the etudes is
devoted to one or more
specific difficulties or
compositional techniques,
as in the fugues. He
assigned the individual
pieces to famous
virtuosos of his time,
such as Anton or Nikolai
Rubinstein or Marie
Jaëll.
The new
Urtext editions are based
on the ground-breaking
musical text of the
Å?uvres instrumentales
complètes by Camille
Saint-Saëns, for which
the editor has
meticulously evaluated
all known sources. A
detailed Foreword
provides information on
the genesis and
significance of the
etudes. Readings and
variants are precisely
documented in the
Critical Commentary
(Eng). Notes on
interpretation
(Fr/Eng/Ger) as well as
an elegant music
engraving provide the
pianist with optimal
conditions for studying
these virtuosic
etudes.
