These transcriptions made it possible for people to enjoy music to which they otherwise had no access to.

Franz Schubert's Impromptus Op. post 142 (D 935) are among his most frequently played piano works and have found a permanent place in music lessons and in the concert repertoire. The Wiener Urtext Edition now presents a new edition covering the latest musicological research. Closely following Schubert's original manuscript, numerous details have been added to and corrected in the text. This edition now also includes notes on interpretation by Robert D. Levin which look even into the most subtle shades of meaning of expression markings. The score and page layout have been designed in a user-friendly way. / Piano

Franz Schubert's Impromptus and Moments musicaux are among the milestones of piano music and are a reuglar feature in music lessons and concert performances. This new edition brings all Impromptus and Moments musicaux together in one volume in a practice-focused manner. The musical text of the 'Impromptus' is based primarily on the composer's autographs as well as on a copy of the Witteczek-Spaun Collection which was very important to Schubert. As no autograph sources for the 'Moments musicaux' exist, the first and early editions of individual pieces were used as reference material. Due to this painstaking research these editions are very precise, not only with regard to musical details but also with fundamental issues like the position of repetition signs. With clear engraving and a user-friendly page layout, this edition also features new notes on interpretation by Robert D. Levin, based on notes from early performances. / Piano

from 'Myrthen' op. 25-In his virtuosic piano arrangement of Schumann?s ?Widmung? (?Du meine Seele du mein Herz?) Franz Liszt transformed this intimate song into a dramatic declaration that reaches its powerful climax at the phrase ?Mein guter Geist mein bess?res Ich? using chords to be played con somma passione. In Liszt?s autograph the melody is overlaid by the song text but he changes the title to ?Liebeslied?. The first edition published in Leipzig in 1848 retainedthis heading and thus the song is still known today under two different titles. In collaboration with Liszt scholar Mária Eckhardt Henle Verlag presents this best-known of all of Liszt?s Schumann arrangements in a reliable HenleUrtext quality edition.

Composed during 1836-38 this work is dedicated to Franz Liszt who in turn dedicated his B minor Sonata to Schumann. It reflects Schumann's despair over his thwarted love affair with Clara Wieck.

Lorsque Christa Landon a présenté la première version imprimée de son édition de sonates pour piano de Joseph Haydn, sonate de l'oeuvre de Haydn était toujours éclipsé par les oeuvres de Mozart et de Beethoven. Depuis lors, les sonates de Haydn ont progressé dans les salles de classe pour les salles de concert et l'édition de Landon a joué un rôle crucial dans ce processus. Depuis l'anniversaire de Haydn en 2009, cette édition 'légendaire' a été entièrement révisé pour, au cours de plus de quarante ans, de nouvelles sources ont été révélés et les questions d'authenticité ont été résolus, notamment parce que les principes éditoriaux pour du 18e siècle musique a considérablement changé. La nouvelle édition est publiée en quatre volumes, le contenu de chaque volume étant compatible avec les volumes de l'édition précédente. Volume 3 de la nouvelle édition comprend les 17 sonates Hob. XVI :21-32 et Hob. XVI :35-39 contenue dans le vol. 2 de la précédente édition Wiener Urtext, y compris les ouvrages de vulgarisation pour les cours de musique tels que Hob. XVI: 27, 35 et 37. Dans les Notes sur l'interprétation, Robert D. Levin explique les aspects importants de la pratique de la performance de Haydn et, avec l'aide de nombreux exemples, montre les possibilités pour agrémenter les pauses fréquemment utilisé par Haydn. / Piano

La Sonate en ré majeur (Hob XVI: 37) est l'un de Joseph Haydn le plus connu et le plus souvent joué sonates pour piano. Le premier mouvement sparklingly brillante, les nuances de couvaison et archaïque à court largo ainsi que les cadences généralement haydnesque à la finale font de cette pièce un excellent travail d'éducation que les amateurs de musique, même les plus expérimentés aiment jouer. Le Wiener Urtext Edition a maintenant publié une édition séparée, basé sur récemment révisé la version de Ulrich Leisinger de l'édition Christa Landon. Aspects essentiels de la pratique de la performance sont donnés dans les notes sur l'interprétation par Robert D. Levin. / Piano

In autumn 1827 Schubert composed eight 'Impromptus' for publication as a complete collection by Haslinger in Vienna. When the plan fell through Schubert offered his 'Impromptus' to Schott as pieces which 'could be issued individually or all four together'. The name of the works probably originated from the publisher Haslinger and Schubert also used it for his collection published later as op. posth. 142. The lyrical-romantic works are suitable for advanced piano students and have the character of sonata movements. Robert Schumann who regarded them as parts of a four-movement sonata drew attention to the second collection published by Diabelli in 1839 in hisreview.For the first time this scholarly-critical Urtext edition presents the musical text of the 'New Schubert Edition' in new engraving and with optimum page-turns.

Complementing the Impromptus and Moments musicaux, the Wiener Urtext Edition also presents a new edition of the three late piano pieces D 946. Careful study of Schubert's autographs has led to various retouchings in the musical text, in D 946/2 for instance to the supplementation of a bar. The edition offers a new approach to the issue of the second episode of D 946/1, deleted by Schubert in the autograph, but included in the posthumous first edition and meanwhile embraced in modern concert practice. The separate edition of these repertoire pieces that have enjoyed increasing popularity since the 1970s has been expanded to include the two piano piano pieces D 916B/C that have survived as fragments and have been completed by Robert D. Levin in close observance of Schubert's compositional principles. Like the three piano pieces D 946, both works originate from the context of the Impromptus and have survived in the composer's autograph sketches. Their inclusion in this volume completes the picture of Schubert's late keyboard output and provides new impulses for the pianistic concert repertoire. / Piano
