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

for Viola 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. It remains unclear when exactly Brahms drafted Viola parts to his two sonatas. In any case the Viola and Clarinet versions of the works were first published by Simrock at the same time in 1895. Today there is no doubt about Brahms? authorship of the Viola parts. They include important differences fromthe Clarinet original in order to do justice to this string instrument.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 often surprising insight into musical interpretation of the German Romantic Era in general.A pioneering Urtext editionWith an unmarked Urtext partWith a second part including fingering and bowing based on the practices of contemporaries of BrahmsWith an extensive Performance Practice

Double Concerto in a minor op.102-The cellist Robert Hausmann had actually requested a Cello concerto - but Brahms paired the Cello with a Violin in his 'Double Concerto'. The unusual work has already been available as part of the newBrahms Complete Edition for several years.Using Brahms? original Piano reduction Johannes Umbreit has produced a playable Piano setting that optimally renders the colourfulness of the score. The fingerings andbowings for the string parts have been supplied by the experienced soloists Frank Peter Zimmermann and Heinrich Schiff. The orchestral parts based on the Complete Edition are available from Breitkopf & Härtel (PB/OB 16104).

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

Brahms? popular 16 ?Waltzes? opus 39 composed in 1866 for four hands were transcribed by Brahms one year later for two hands. At the request of his publisher Brahms also wrote an easier version of the work for solo piano. Brahms himself described the first version as suitable for 'reasonable hands' that is for proficient players and the easier version as 'perhaps for prettier hands' that is for domestic music-making. He initially described the latter version to his publisher as a 'children?s edition'. The catchy and musically easily accessible pieces are among the composer?s most popular works and are particularly suitable for piano students and lovers of the Romanticrepertoire.Both versions of the ?Waltzes? op. 39 (BA 9602 BA 9603) are available in separate editions and form an important contribution to Bärenreiter?s series of Brahms?s works in scholarly-critical Urtext editions. Both editions include fingering a well-presented musical layout and optimum page-turns.

Symphony no. 2 D major op. 73-Lorsqu?il composa sa premi?re symphonie Brahms ?tait encore largement influenc? par l??uvre de Beethoven. Mais ce n??tait plus le cas pour la deuxi?me qui s?en d?marque tr?s nettement. Le principe de traitement des motifs ne se cantonne plus uniquement au d?veloppement mais s??tend ? tout le premier mouvement. Dans les mouvements suivants tout semble d?ailleurs aussi ?tre apparent?. La cr?ation de cette symphonie dans la salle du Musikverein de Vienne fut pour Brahms l?un des plus grands triomphes de son existence qu?il d?crivit avec enthousiaste: ?L?orchestre ici a r?p?t? et jou? avec passion et m?a f?licit? comme cela ne m?est encore jamais arriv?.? Gr?ce ? cette partitiond??tude les chefs d?orchestre ?tudiants et passionn?s de Brahms pourront appr?cier la partition tir?e de l??dition compl?te des ?uvres de Brahms (?galement parue chez G. Henle) en version urtext dans un petit format facile ? manier.

Johannes Brahms Concerto pour violon en Ré majeur op. 77 Editeur: Michael Struck, Linda Correll Roesner Réduction pour piano: Johannes Umbreit Doigtés vl.: Frank Peter Zimmermann Edition Urtext, réduction pour piano, reliure paperback parties avec ou sans indications de doigté Pages: 123 (X, 50, 33, 30), Dimension 23,5 x 31,0 cm N° d'article HN 818 · ISMN 979-0-2018-0818-5 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.?

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
