La gestation de la 2e Sonate en sol dièse mineur de Scriabine, bâtie en deux mouvements, est lente et fastidieuse. Les premiers travaux remontent à l'année 1892. Cependant, durant l'été 1896, après qu'il eut déjà exécuté sa sonate à plusieurs reprises en public à Paris, Scriabine, totalement découragé, écrivit à son ami, l'éditeur et mécène Belaïev: 'J'ai certes terminé la Sonate, mais je n'en suis pas du tout satisfait, bien que je l'aie remaniée à sept reprises'. Ce n'est qu'en 1898 qu'il fut content de son travail et qu'il fit publier l'oeuvre. Notre édition Urtext se base sur la première édition minutieusement révisée par le compositeur, mais tient également compte d'un enregistrement sur rouleaux réalisé par Scriabine lui-même pour les pianos mécaniques de la maison Ludwig Hupfeld. / Piano

Scriabin's 7th Piano Sonata is amongst the late sonatas nos. 6-10, conceived as preliminary studies for a Gesamtkunstwerk of enormous proportions, the 'Mysterium?. The mystic aura of the 7th Sonata is communicated to the player not least through the ecstatic performance directions contained in the autograph and the first edition. This and a great deal more can be seen in Scriabin's manuscript for the sonata, which we are presenting in a high-class facsimile in 2015, Scriabin Year. It is hard to believe how clearly and neatly the composer wrote this extremely complex music. The preface by the expert Valentina Rubcova provides an ideal guide for a journey of discovery through Scriabin's esoteric musical world. / Piano

Compositeur : Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus Instrumentation : Piano solo Editeur Musicologique : Wolf-Dieter Seiffert Doigtés: Markus Bellheim Couverture Reliée La découverte sensationnelle d'un autographe jusque-là inconnu de la fameuse Sonate pour piano en La majeur (avec l'increvable « Marche turque ») de Mozart à Budapest en automne 2014 a donné le déclic pour cette nouvelle édition indispensable. Après une étude approfondie de ce manuscrit et une comparaison minutieuse avec toutes les autres sources, nous présentons pour la première fois un Urtext définitif d'une grande partie de ce chef-d''uvre (le nouvel autographe ne contient pas la sonate complète). Les divergences par rapport au texte musical connu à ce jour sont, il faut le dire, conséquentes. Nous sommes donc fiers de pouvoir affirmer qu'il n'est désormais plus possible d'étudier sérieusement cette sonate sans faire appel à notre édition Urtext.

One must look long and hard to find a piano pupil who hasn't studied Beethoven's two 'sonate facile? op. 49. They are not only relatively easy to play but highly lyrical and effective, ideally combining joy in music-making with a mastery of early classical literature. The two works were composed much earlier than the opus number suggests. Beethoven wrote them around 1797/98, during a time when he also worked on one of his most important sonatas, the 'Grande Sonate pathétique? op. 13. Jonathan Del Mar, currently one of the most renowned Beethoven scholars, stands for a meticulously edited Urtext edition on the basis of an intensive study of all sources. Performers are presented with a musical text which is based on the latest research findings and whose fine engraving and practical page turns facilitate the study of these works. This Urtext edition includes an informative Introduction and valuable notes on historical performance practice. Here the pianist will also find information regarding the dynamics of the second sonata whose sources contain hardly any dynamic markings at all. Source discrepancies and editorial principles are discussed in the detailed Critical Commentary. / Piano

Album For The Young features 64 classic Piano pieces inspired by the spirit of childhood. From Johannes Brahms' unashamedly lyrical Wiegenlied through the more cerebral approach of Schumann's album Für die Jugend and the works of contemporary composers such as Lutoslawksi and Richard Rodney Bennett, the music contained in this collection offers many contrasting approaches to the idea of music for the young. Great composers down the ages have been consistently attracted to writing albums about or for the young. Some pieces are suitable for children to play and some are drawn from the nostalgic memory of childhood innocence. Here is a unique collection to treasure, reflecting the variety of both their emotional approaches and the richness of their creative responses. / Piano

'The farewell / Vienna, May 4, 1809 / on the departure of his Imperial Highness the revered Archduke Rudolph? - Beethoven added this inscription to the manuscript of this sonata. It is today known by its French title 'les Adieux? and numbers amongst the composer's best-loved piano works. The first movement of the sonata was presumably written directly before the archduke hurriedly left Vienna. Rudolph and other members of the imperial family fled to Hungary to avoid having to endure the French troops' siege and conquest. On his return in January 1810, Beethoven was able to present him with the complete sonata, having written not only the 'farewell?, but also 'absence? and 'return?. / Piano
