En Vol. 2 de la sonates pour violon, par Robert Schumann, le Wiener Urtext édition présente la Sonate F.A.E. composée conjointement par Schumann, Brahms et Albert Dietrich, ainsi que la version éditée, avec les mouvements de Brahms et de Dietrich remplacé, comme troisième Sonate de violon de Robert Schumann. La présente édition est basée sur l'édition publiée en 2002 dans la nouvelle édition complète de Schumann et donc sur les plus récentes conclusions musicologiques. Dans le cas de la Sonate F.A.E., c'est surtout une question de légers changements dans les domaines de la dynamique et l'articulation. Dans le cas du troisième Sonate de violon de Schumann, la présente édition diffère plus significativement la première édition, publiée en 1956 et la nouvelle édition légèrement révisée de 1988. L'ordre des mouvements moyens dont l'exactitude ne peut être clairement déterminée jusqu'à maintenant a été modifiée, par rapport aux éditions précédentes, en raison des documents nouvellement trouvées.

'Clara Schumanns writing contains a number of original traits. She is far removed from merely copying Chopin Mendelssohn or Robert Schumann. At the most these masters sometimes shine through the particular coloring characteristic of all of Clara Schumanns pieces. The Quatre pièces fugitives all differ jn character and style. Especially the Andante (No. 3) contains some charming effects. No. 4 Scherzo a simple and innocent piece recalls Beethovens shorter sonatas.' (from the review printed in the 'Allgemeine Musikalische Zeitung' of 1 October 1845)

With the new Urtext Primo series, the Wiener Urtext Edition wants to close the gap arising at the point of transition to additional lessons after having studied a piano method. Beginning with a performance level which is outlined by pieces such as Bach's Minuet in G (BWV Anh. 116), Mozart's Minuet in F (KV 5) or Schumann's Wilder Reiter (Op. 68/8), works by three different composers are selected for each volume of the Urtext Primo series, with the aim of offering piano pupils (or even adults who want to resume piano playing) a wide range of repertoire pieces on the basis of which they can enhance their technical and musical skills. The pieces' range of levels of difficulty is relatively narrow so that the volume can be used continuously over a period of about two years. This is what distinguishes the Urtext Primo approach from almost all common anthologies. The selected repertoire takes into account not only pieces of the classic canon of lessons, but also lesser known works which are in no way of less importance for piano lessons. The Urtext Primo volumes are published in the internationally recognised standard of the Wiener Urtext editions. The explanations included in each volume shall help to deepen the knowledge of musical styles, music history and piano playing. A repertoire chart at the end of each volume gives a rough overview of the levels of difficulty of the selected pieces.Volume 4 combines works of the German Romanticism by Schumann, Brahms and Theodor Kirchner. Apart from well known pieces from Schumann's 'Album for the Youth' and the easiest waltzes from opus 39 (in the easier version) by Brahms, the selection contains the attractive set of variations from Schumann's first Youth Sonata Op. 118/1 and Brahms' Saraband in A minor WoO 5/1 as well as a number of pleasant pieces by Theodor Kirchner which continue the tonal air of Schumann and Brahms in easy playable pieces. / Piano

In response to failures Schumann once again turned more to composing during his time in Düsseldorf. He wrote many new works also ones for the Piano for which he had only written a few pieces after his first years ofcomposing.Bach's music played an important role in the Schumanns' house at the time; this is mirrored in the fact that Schumann turned to baroque forms again. However he wanted his fugues to be understood as 'characterpieces just in a stricter form'.The Piano Pieces in Fughetta Form op. 126 published in Henle's catalogue for the first time unite the strict formal demands with romantic expression in a masterly manner.

Fantasy Pieces op. 88 for Piano Trio. The Fantasy Pieces op. 88 are Schumann?s first contribution to the genre of the piano trio and date from his very prolific ?chamber music year? 1842. However, Schumann needed an unusually long time to give the work its final form: the Fantasy Pieces were released only in the autumn of 1850 after several revisions. The brevity and the modest technical demands of the four charming character pieces make them an ideal entry into the world of Schumann?s chamber music also for non-professional musicians. The Fantasy Pieces, taken from the volume Schumann · Piano Trios HN 916, are now available from Henle for the first time also as a practical single edition.

Schumann begann erst recht spat, sich mit Kammermusik zu beschaftigen. 1842 entstanden dann gleich sechs gewichtige Werke, darunter auch sein erstes Klaviertrio, das er aber erst 1850 unter dem Titel Vier Phantasiestuecke als op. 88 herausgab. In der Zwischenzeit hatte er bereits die Trios d-moll op. 63 (1847) und F-dur op. 80 (1847/49) komponiert. In seiner Duesseldorfer Zeit, 1851, kam dann noch das g-moll-Trio op. 110 hinzu. Zusammen mit den Trios von Mendelssohn und Brahms zahlen die vier Kompositionen Schumanns zu den wichtigsten Werken der Gattung im 19. Jahrhundert.
