HN 1215 · ISMN M-2018-1215-1 When his contemporaries heard the works that Johannes Brahms had composed during his summer holiday in Ischl in 1893 – the Piano Pieces op. 118 –, they were delighted. Clara Schumann was one of the first to be allowed to get to know the new pieces, and she attested that they contained “a wealth of sentiment in the smallest of dimensions”. Philipp Spitta fittingly said that the works were “perfect for slowly absorbing in solitude and tranquillity”. Opus 118 contains two of the composer’s bestknown miniatures – the Intermezzo in A major and the Romanze in F major. We particularly recommend this volume, based on the musical text in the New Brahms Complete Edition, to all those who wish to immerse themselves in the world of Brahms’ late works. Contenu : Ballad g minor op. 118,3 Intermezzo A major op. 118,2 Intermezzo a minor op. 118,1 Intermezzo e flat minor op. 118,6 Intermezzo f minor op. 118,4 Romance F major op. 118,5

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.

Par HENSELT ADOLPH. The composer and pedagogue Adolph von Henselt (1814?1889) can truly be considered one of the founding fathers of the Russian School of piano playing. He counted among his pupils Nicolai Sergeyvich Zverev, the teacher of Rachmaninoff and Scriabin. Rachmaninoff considered Henselt?s Etudes the equal of those by Liszt and Chopin for their great beauty. Henselt?s music was well-known in his time, and in the repertoire of the greatest virtuosos of the 19th century, including Clara Schumann (who premiered his F minor Concerto with Mendelssohn conducting), Franz Liszt, Hans von Bülow, Vladimir de Pachmann and Alexander Scriabin. The two sets of Etudes Opp. 2 and 5 were composed just before Henselt moved permanently to Russia and each set was originally published as two books of six études. This new Edition Peters Urtext edition collects each set in its own volume, together with, in volume 1, a selection of Henselt?s Exercices préparatoires and, in volume 2, two additional etudes. It is edited by Daniel Grimwood, one of the composer?s most highly regarded interpreters, whose recording of the complete Etudes is available from Edition Peters Sounds. This is the only available modern Urtext edition of these important piano works. / Date parution : 2023-06-01/ Etude / Piano

The piano pieces opp. 116-119 were written in 1892/93 and are the last collections of pieces which Brahms wrote for the instrument. Particularly noteworthy is his use of the 'small form' accompanied by a heightened increase in musical expression compared to his earlier works.Clara Schumann probably the secret dedicatee of the Piano pieces wrote in her diary in November 1892: 'a true source of enjoyment everything poetry passion fantasy intimacy full of the most marvellous sound effects [...] In these pieces I finally feel musical life drawn into my soul again and play once more with true devotion.'A renewed critical evaluation of all known sources hasresulted in small deviations from previous readings.Johannes Brahms's most frequently performed piano pieces now available in high quality Bärenreiter Urtext editionsEvaluation of all available sourcesReflecting the latest state of researchAvailable separately:Fantasies Op.116 (BA9628)Three Intermezzi Op.117 (BA9629)Piano Pieces Op.118 (BA9630)

During his research Christopher Hogwood came across an unpublished source which had not been taken into consideration for any previous edition.While on a concert-tour in 1853 with the violinist Ede Reményi the young Brahms visited Arnold Wehner the Music Director of the Göttingen University. In Wehner?s ?Album Amicorum? which included contributions from Robert and Clara Schumann Mendelssohn Jenny Lind Rossini and Liszt Brahms had notated a short piano piece. The source consists of a one-page autograph of this literal ?Albumblatt? (untitled by Brahms). The composer used it 12 years later revised and transposed from A minor to A-flat minor in hisHorn Trio.Brahms' Albumblatt is published as a scholarly-critical Urtext edition. A facsimile of the autograph score is also included. - Published for the first time in a modern Urtext edition- With a foreword (Eng/Ger) and critical commentary (Eng)

Le séjour de Johannes Brahms à Bad Ischl durant l'été 1893 fut fructueux. Hormis les pièces op. 118, il composa également son dernier cycle pour piano, l'opus 119. Il écrit à Clara Schumann que la pièce d'introduction fourmille de dissonances et indique plus loin que 'chaque mesure et chaque note doit sonner en ritardando, comme si on voulait extraire de ses dissonances de la mélancolie avec volupté et délectation!' Que l'on se rassure, l'op. 119 contient des morceaux pour tous les états d'âme: le #3 surprend par sa tonalité d'Ut majeur, légère et enjouée, la dernière pièce est une rapsodie rétive en Mi bémol majeur. Grâce à notre édition révisée d'après l'édition complète des oeuvres de Brahms, nous invitons les pianistes à redécouvrir le monde complexe de Brahms. / Piano

Comme nombre de compositeurs du xixe siècle, Brahms aussi gagne sa vie en donnant des cours de piano. Ce faisant, il réunit toute une collection d?exercices écrits tout d?abord à l?occasion pour ses élèves et qu?il échange par la suite avec d?autres pianistes (p. ex. Clara Schumann). C?est seulement après avoir cessé dans une large mesure son activité pédagogique et pianistique qu?il songe à en faire la publication. Eu égard au degré de difficulté, il propose pour le recueil le titre suivant: «Tous les instruments de torture imaginables, des poucettes à la vierge de fer». Nous publions cette collection d?exercices, indispensable pour le jeu romantique, en tant qu?édition Urtext basée sur le texte de la «Neue Brahms-Gesamtausgabe» (nouvelle édition complète des ?uvres de Brahms / Classique / Partition / Edition Urtext

Par BRAHMS JOHANNES. The Piano Pieces Op. 119 are less a loose collection of pieces than a self-contained cycle. Johannes Brahms's piano work reach their conclusion and fulfilment in these pieces, and the forebodings of death in the E-flat minor Intermezzo Op. 118 #6 are metamorphosed into late-Romantic otherworldliness. Johannes Brahms wrote to Clara Schumann about the Intermezzo Op. 119 #1: 'I am tempted to copy out a little piano piece for you, since I would like to know how you find it. It is full of dissonances! They may be correct and legitimate - but perhaps not to your liking, in which case I wish they were less correct but more appealing and to your taste. The little piece is exceptionally melancholic, and it would be an understatement to say that it must 'be played very slowly'. Every bar and eyery note must sound ritard., as if one wanted to squeeze the melancholy with ecstasy and contentment out of every single one of those dissonances! Oh God, the description alone will make you eager!' Ulrich Mahlert has revised this edition of the 'Klavierstücke' Op. 119 on the basis of the author's copy of the composer, and wrote a detailed and informative preface to the new edition./ Répertoire / Piano
