'Clara Schumanns writing contains a number of original traits. She is far removed from merely copying Chopin Mendelssohn or Robert Schumann. At the most these masters sometimes shine through the particular coloring characteristic of all of Clara Schumanns pieces. The Quatre pièces fugitives all differ jn character and style. Especially the Andante (No. 3) contains some charming effects. No. 4 Scherzo a simple and innocent piece recalls Beethovens shorter sonatas.' (from the review printed in the 'Allgemeine Musikalische Zeitung' of 1 October 1845)

Edited by Clara Schumann-Fifteen works including 'Symphonic Etudes Op. 13' 'Fantasy In C Major Op. 17' and 'Intermezzi Op. 4'.

Clara Schumann's Piano Notebook. This book presents seven piano solos that represent the wonderful variety of compositions by Clara Schumann. The brilliant ?Polonaise? was composed and performed by Clara as a child prodigy. The enchanting ?Prelude, Op. 16, No. 2?, and ?Romance, Op. 21. No.2? are both beautiful and suitable for many occasions. The joyful ?Mazurka? makes a great recital piece as well as ?Scherzo? in C minor. ?Nocturne in F, Op. 6, No. 2" is one of the most beautifully written nocturnes. Chopin once told Clara that she was the only woman in Germany that could play his music. She may have been inspired to compose this piece after performing many of Chopin's works in her concerts. The final piece in this collection of Clara Schumann?s Piano Notebook is her ?Theme and Variations?, which she dedicated to Robert Schumann. Robert composed and published many variations of his own on Clara's theme. Her own variations remained unknown until recently. These variations are very interesting, and the theme is easily recognizable throughout. ?Theme and Variations? truly showcases Clara?s unique sense of creativity. These piano selections are presented as examples of Clara Schumann's legacy?a great composer of the 19th century. Her music is timeless and must be preserved for future generations of pianists. This collection will be valuable for recitals, programs and your own enjoyment.

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.

Par SCHUMANN ROBERT. In 1925, Breitkopf and 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. ?

für Violine und Klavier. Par SCHUMANN CLARA. The Romances op. 22 are today among Clara Schumann’s most popular chamber music works. For violinists and pianists, they’re also of particular importance due to the wealth of information by Schumann, Joseph Joachim, and Wilhelm Joseph von Wasielewski on fingering, bowing, and phrasing in these three pieces. While working on the composition and publication of the Romances op. 22, Schumann was in close contact with these two great violinists of the nineteenth century. She consulted Wasielewski while completing an early version of Romance no. 1, while Joachim was involved in a later, complete version and the preparation of the first edition. Jacqueline Ross’ scholarly-critical edition is the first to include, in addition to the first edition, the numerous manuscript sources that survive today, such as: Schumann’s draft manuscript, presentation autographs for Wasielewski and Joachim, as well as copyists’ parts once owned by the two violinists. This edition has two separate parts for the violin, allowing its use in two ways: first, as a straightforward Urtext edition: and second, as an edition informed by historical performing practice, supported by the detailed Performing Practice Commentary on nineteenth-century violin and piano technique./ Répertoire / Violon et 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

On the 200th anniversary of Robert Schumann's birth an ambitious project is coming to a close: For the first time since Clara Schumann's Complete Edition of 1879-93 all of the works for Piano solo are appearing as oneeditorial project.Spanning almost ten years of painstaking work all of the Schumann titles published by G. Henle Publishers have undergone a careful revision. The Schumann expert Ernst Herttrich has closely examined eachedition and also dedicated himself to those works that were previously missing from the catalogue.The result is being published in this new collection comprising six volumes as well as study editions in a slipcase. Theyreplace the former four volumes (HN108-HN115). Arranged clearly according to opus numbers it includes not only all of Schumann's Piano works revised to reflect the latest scholarly findings but also informative accompanyingtexts alternative versions and much more besides.Being a complete works collection a general difficulty level cannot be applied to these volumes. As a result we have assigned a difficulty of 'advanced' as a guide to thegeneral proficiency required to play all the pieces.Contents:Symphonic Etudes op. 13 Piano Sonata with Early Version: Concert sans Orchestre f minor op. 14 Scenes from Childhood op. 15Kreisleriana op. 16

for the Concerto for Piano and Orchestra No. 3 c minor op. 37, 1. movement by Ludwig van Beethoven. Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. The volume unites 11 cadenzas from 200 years of music history to form one of the most frequently performed concertos in the piano literature, including several first publications. Among them are not solely highly virtuoso and, sometimes, even romantic lyrical tributes to the genius of classical music, but also cadences with a humorous and ironic touch: Fazil Say's cadence imitated - a music box! With cadences by: Charles Henri Alkan - Ludwig van Beethoven - Gabriel Fauré - Franz Liszt - Ignaz Moscheles - Michael Rische - Fazil Say - Erwin Schulhoff - Clara Schumann - Bedrich Smetana - Viktor Ullmann/ Répertoire / Piano

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

In the 19th century this cycle of variations counted among the most famous piano works of Schumann and was part of the standard repertoire for two pianos. Created in 1843 this work was played by Clara Schumann together with Ferdinand Hiller Anton Rubinstein Carl Reinecke Adolph Henselt Adolf Jensen Ignaz Moscheles and Johannes Brahms among others. A masterpiece of the literature for two pianos now available in a carefully revised new edition.
