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

Par SCHUMANN ROBERT. In 1925, Breitkopf & Härtel approached the young pianist Wilhelm Kempff to prepare Clara Schumann’s “Instructive Edition” of her husband’s works for the new engraving. “[…] The comparison with the autograph and the Urtext edition [First Schumann Complete Edition], the results of the Schumann research, the modern principles of notation – all of this would have to be taken into account in the new engraving and could lead to a significant improvement in the edition without compromising the spirit of editing by Clara Schumann. ” The present edition thus conveys the reading of one of the most important pianists of the twentieth century, which we make fully accessible intime for the 200th birthday of Clara Schumann.

Le célèbre Concerto pour piano en la mineur de Robert Schumann figure depuis toujours au répertoire des pianistes - par contre, ses deux Konzertstücke pour piano et orchestre op. 92 et 134, composés plus tardivement, sont, à tort, méconnus. On y trouve une nouveauté de taille en ce qui concerne leur forme: les trois mouvements habituels du concerto sont réunis ici en un seul mouvement. Clara Schumann, qui assurait la partie soliste lors de la création au Gewandhaus de Leipzig de l'opus 92 le 14 février 1850, nota, profondément enthousiaste, dans son journal intime: 'Je me réjouis énormément de le jouer - c'est un morceau passionné, je vais bien sûr l'exécuter comme il se doit.' / Piano Et 2 Pianos 4 Mains

Robert Schumann's Kreisleriana for piano is a cycle of eight contrasting pieces composed in 1838. The work belongs to one of Schumann's most creative periods. It was influenced by the writings of author E. T. A. Hoffmann and was inspired by Schumann's love for his wife, Clara. The current edition has been thoroughly researched, with comparisons made between all early sources. The 1850 second edition has been used as the primary source, which includes revisions made by Schumann and reflects his final intentions. Discrepancies with the first edition (1838), third edition (1858), and various Clara Schumann editions have been discussed in critical notes. Prefatory matter discusses the genesis of Kreisleriana, the relationship between Hoffmann's writings and Schumann's journalism and compositions, and the early champions and performers of this masterwork. Also included are discussions of the form of each piece and helpful performance suggestions. Editorial pedaling and fingering suggestions have been provided to facilitate learning and performance.Charles Timbrell is Professor of Music and Coordinator of Keyboard Studies at Howard University in Washington, D.C., where he teaches piano, piano literature, and piano pedagogy. He also maintains an active career as a performer, author, lecturer, and adjudicator. / Piano

Par SCHUMANN ROBERT. À l’occasion du 200é anniversaire de la naissance de Robert Schumann en 2010, un projet dédition ambitieux a été conlcu: pour la première fois après l’édition par Clara Schumann des oeuvres complètes de Schumann en 1879–93, toutes les oeuvres pourpiano solo sont publiées dans le cadre dune même édition. Pendant près de dix ans de travail minutieux, tous les titres de Schumann déjà publiés aux Éditions G. Henle ont été soumis à une révision détaillée. Ernst Herttrich, spécialiste de Schumann, avait passé chaque édition au banc d’essai, se consacrant aussi aux oeuvres jusqu’ici absentes de notre catalogue. La présente collection comprenant six volumes est disponible en version brochéeou reliée et dans la série «Studien-Edition» en coffret. Classée de façon explicite selon les numéros d’opus, cette publication regroupe non seulement toutes les oeuvres pour piano de Schumann conformes à l’état actuel de la recherche, mais elle renferme aussi des textes d’accompagnement informatifs, desversions alternatives et bien d’autres choses. Contents: Faschingsschwank aus Wien op. 26- 3 Romanzen op. 28- Scherzo, Gigue, Romanze und Fughette op. 32- Album für die Jugend op. 68 - Vier Fugen op. 72- Vier Märsche op. 76- Waldszenen op. 82 / Partition reliée / Date parution : 2010-10-15/ Répertoire / Piano

Pour la présente édition, l'éditeur s'est servi des manuscrits autographes pour les pièces 1, 6 et 7, de la première édition et, en cas de doute d'interprétation, de la deuxième édition. Les Scènes d'enfants, composées en 1838, font partie de cette période où Schumann écrit exclusivement pour le piano solo. Avant ces pièces pour enfants , certaines grandes couvres ont vu le jour: Le Carnaval (opus 9), Les Davidsbündlertânze, Fantaisie (opus 17), etc. Les Scènes d'enfants sont des regards jetés en arrière par un adulte sur sa propre enfance, des souvenirs pour les personnes qui ont grandi , écrit Schumann à Clara. OEuvre pleine de poésie, de tendresse, de candeur, d'intimité exquise, de grâce juvénile, de virile tendresse, pages apparemment simples mais chargées de tous ces rêves dont veut se délivrer un adulte à la recherche du temps perdu de son enfance. Robert écrit à Clara: Les qualités qui donnent leur prix à cette musique ne dépendent que d'une grâce toute simple, naturelle et sans apprêt. Le 17 mars 1838, Schumann écrit encore à Clara: Est-ce une réponse à ce que tu m'écrivis un jour, tu me fais parfois l'impression d'un enfant, s'il en est ainsi, tu verras que des ailes ont poussé à cet enfant car j'ai écrit plus de trente petites pièces et j'en ai choisi une douzaine que je réunirai sous le nom de Scènes Enfantines. Tu prendras sans doute plaisir à les jouer, mais il te faudra oublier que tu es une virtuose. Treize pièces ont été retenues parmi les trente pour l'opus 15 - les autres pièces trouvèrent place dans l'albumblätter ou dans Bunte Blätter. Schumann donne, pour la plupart de ses oeuvres, les indications de tempo en allemand. Dans l'opus 15, les indications sont données en tempos métronomiques, sauf dans la pièce n° 11. Les tempos indiqués en tête de chaque pièce sont de Robert Schumann et ceux indiqués en fin sont de Clara Schumann. Ils figurent dans la deuxième édition. L'interprète choisira parmi ces différentes indications métronomiques le tempo qu'il jugera le mieux adapté au caractère de ces pièces.

by Beethoven (Opus 37, Opus 58) and Mozart (K466). Par SCHUMANN CLARA. Clara Schumann?s cadenzas to piano concertos by Beethoven (Opp. 37 and 58) and Mozart (K466) not only give a unique insight into her performing and composing style; they also throw light on her relationship with Johannes Brahms, whose cadenzas have considerable similarities to those of Schumann. This Urtext edition of the cadenzas includes a preface in which the renowned Canadian pianist Ludwig Sémerjian explores the interaction between Schumann and Brahms. The edition also marks the first publication of Clara Schumann?s early cadenzas for Mozart?s D minor Piano Concerto, previously only available in the manuscript in the Library of Congress in Washington DC. / Date parution : 2023-06-01/ Recueil / Piano

Album per la gioventù Op. 68. Par SCHUMANN ROBERT. The volume brings together two of Robert Schumann’s most famous collections of piano pieces for the young. Scenes from the Childhood (Kinderszenen), op. 15, contains a series of short pieces for piano written by Schumann in February 1838. These form the German composer’s poetic cycles, together with the Kreisleriana. As their titles suggest, Schumann had been inspired by some letters written by his wife, Clara Wieck, in which she reflects on his sometimes infantile spirit. As the great composer said himself: “There is a bit of everything, yet at the same time they are such easy pieces toremember”. Album for the Young (Album für die Jugend), op. 68, is a collection of simple pieces composed by Robert Schumann in 1848 for his three daughters. This album contains 43 easy pieces, split between “for the youngest ones” and “the older ones”. Edition in three languages: Italian, English and French / Niveau : Intermédiaire / Date parution : 1905-07-07/ Répertoire / Piano

Par SCHUMANN ROBERT. Schumann’s “Arabeske” and “Blumenstück” were both composed while he was living in Vienna from October 1838 to April 1839, and are thus companions to such major piano pieces as the “Fantasy in C major” (op. 17), the “Humoresque”(op. 20) and the cycles “Nachtstücke” (op. 23) and “Faschingsschwank aus Wien” (op. 26). Unlike these masterpieces, they are more ingratiating, possibly as a concession to the Viennese public: but whether the “Arabeske” is a“delicate piece for the ladies”, as Schumann once maintained, is open to debate. For our new edition of these popular pieces the editor has re-evaluated the surviving sources, devoting special attention to the placement ofslurs and incorporating the latest findings in Schumann scholarship. Rounding off the volume are a clear and uncluttered engraving, practical page turns and informative notes on historical performance practice by Sezi Seskir, afortepiano specialist from Bucknell University (Lewisburg, PA) with a special interest in Schumann’s pianism as well as 18th- and 19th-century performance practice./ Répertoire / Piano
