Brahms?s famous Horn Trio op.40 composed in 1865 for the natural horn is a work of considerable significance within the composer?s output. Up until now the work was believed to have a strong emotional connection to the death of his mother three months earlier.However Christopher Hogwood draws on a newly discovered source for this Bärenreiter publication a source that has not been available for any previous edition. We now learn that Brahms wrote at least the trio movement some twelve years earlier in 1853 and that it was originally intended for solo piano. This piano movement is printed in the appendix.This Urtext edition offers notonly the standard instrumentation of violin horn and piano but also the alternative scoring for violoncello or viola instead of horn. The variants found in the violoncello and viola parts are shown as ossias in the score.The introduction (Eng/Ger) describes the compositional process includes information on the performance and publication history of the work and offers comments on performance practice. A critical commentary with facsimile pages of the manuscript rounds off this pioneering edition.Appendix with the 1853 piano version of the trio movementIncludes alternative parts for violoncello and viola

With parts for Horn in E flat and F.-With parts for Horn in E flat and F.We not only owe three of Mozart's horn concertos to his friendship with Ignaz Leutgeb; the solo part of this unusual chamber music work was also written especially for him. Instead ofhaving two violins the accompanying string quartet has two violas which complement the dark and warm timbre of the horn and lend the work a unique tonal effect. Echoes of motives from the 'Abduction from the Seraglio' allow usto suppose that it was composed around the same time as the Singspiel. As the autograph is missing this edition is based on the first edition. In addition the critical apparatus provides a careful evaluation of the secondarysources affording important insights into Mozart's intentions.

Includes alternative parts for Viola and Cello as well as Piano Violin and Horn.

Trio avec cor Mi bémol majeur op. 40 Editeur: Katharina Loose-Einfalt Doigtés: Klaus Schilde Edition Urtext, reliure paperback pour cor en Mi bémol et Fa avec parties pour alto et violoncelle L?instrumentation inhabituelle de ce trio ? cor, violon et piano ? a de bonne heure fait l?objet de spéculations au sujet d?un arrière-plan extramusical. Le biographe Max Kalbeck y voyait par exemple une plainte du compositeur, qui venait de perdre sa mère, parce que dans son enfance le petit Brahms aurait joué à celle-ci des chants populaires au cor. Ce qui est indiscutable, c?est que le compositeur adorait la sonorité du cor naturel qui lui a inspiré quelques-unes de ses plus belles mélodies. Son Trio op. 40 est à juste titre porté aux nues par tous les cornistes auxquels l?édition Urtext de Henle offre désormais une base idéale pour étudier et interpréter ce chef-d??uvre. L?édition reprend le texte musical des nouvelles ?uvres complètes de Brahms, garantie d?une fidélité aux sources et d?une conformité aux recherches les plus récentes. Le pianiste Klaus Schilde a rajouté de précieux doigtés dans la partie de piano. On trouvera en outre les parties instrumentales des versions alternatives (alto ou violoncelle à la place du cor) qui avaient la bénédiction de Brahms.
