Hammerklavier. Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. “Here’s a sonata that will challenge pianists and that one will be able to play in 50 years”: thus Beethoven is said to have written to his publisher Artaria regarding his mighty “Hammerklavier” Sonata Op. 106. Given its monumental scale and extreme musical and pianistic demands, the term “Grande Sonate” seems almost an understatement. Dedicated to Archduke Rudolph of Austria, this sonata is famous not least for the seemingly unplayable autograph metronome marks in the opening movement and final fugue – a matter on which the editor offers a new explanation. Nothing is uncomplicated in this pinnacle of the classical-romantic piano sonata, composed in “adversecircumstances” from 1817 to 1819. Even the sources pose supreme editorial challenges. Urtext edition with the latest musicological findings Detailed Critical Commentary and source descriptions (Eng) Informative Introduction and valuable notes on central issues of period performance practice (Ger/Eng)/ Répertoire / Piano

Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. Beethoven’s final three piano sonatas have always been a source of great fascination. Composed in 1820, the Sonata op. 109 opened the door to the future with its extreme expressivity, its abandonment of traditional techniques and its radical departure from familiar aesthetic norms. Beethoven specialist Jonathan Del Mar has competently solved the questions raised by the highly complex source material of this work headed “Sonata for the Hammerklavier” in the autograph score. The result is a reliable musical text and a Critical Commentary explaining alternative readings and editorial decisions. In addition to a reader-friendly engraving and practical page-turns, the edition is roundedoff with an informative Introduction and valuable notes on historical performance practice.

As a continuation of the new Urtext edition of the Schubert lieder, Walther Dürr has now edited volume five for high, medium and low voices. Volumes 1 to 4 of this edition contain mainly lieder which Schubert himself saw into print (in his own choice and order) and in the fourth volume works from the last two years of his life are included. The lieder in volume 5 onwards are strictly presented in the order of Deutsch's Thematic Catalogue which means that in principle they are arranged chronologically. The lieder in volume five were composed in the years 1811 to 1814. The first - 'Hagars Klage' (D 5), dated 30 March 1811 - is also his first complete surviving song. The first eleven lieder are evidence of his early studies (1811-1813/14). During this period Schubert immersed himself in Johann Rudolf Zumsteeg's ballads and lieder and wrote Italian arias during his composition lessons with Antonio Salieri. He also composed a single strophic song ('Klaglied', D 23), which - the only one of these songs - was published shortly after his death in November 1830 as op. 131, 3. His apprentice work, as it were, was the major ballade 'Der Taucher' (D 77) which was composed between 1813 and roughly the beginning of 1815. Probably not by chance, his first complete opera ('Des Teufels Lustschloss', D 84) was written at the same time. He also set fourteen poems by Friedrich von Matthisson exploring the principle of the strophic lied. - Excellent new engraving based on the 'New Schubert Edition'- Foreword by Walther Dürr discussing the history the works' composition and transmission, together with a list of sources for each song (Ger/Eng)- English translation of the song texts by Richard WigmoreContents:Hagars Klage, D 5 / Leichenfantasie, D 7 /Der Vatermörder, D 10 / Klaglied, op. post. 131, 3 - D 23 / Misero pargoletto, D 42 (high voice only) / Totengräberlied, D 44 / Die Schatten, D 50 / Verklärung, D 59 / Pensa che questo istante, D 76 (medium and low voice only) /Der Taucher, D 77 / Son fra l'onde, D 78 (high voice only) /Adelaide, D 95 / Trost.
