La Ballade écossaise «Edward», tirée du recueil de chants populaires «Stimmen der Völker in Liedern» de J. G. Herder (Voix des peuples), impressionna à tel point Brahms que, comme il le dit à un ami, les mélodies s?arrangèrent d?elles-mêmes en lui. «Edward» fournit le motif de la première des quatre ballades, contes musicaux de nature romantique et dramatique, liés pour Brahms à des souvenirs communs avec Clara Schumann. Pour Julius Grimm, à qui les pièces sont dédiées, «c?est à elle qu?appartiennent en fait les ballades». Robert Schumann quant à lui s?exprima avec enthousiasme sur l??uvre de son jeune collègue. C?est le grand pianiste Lars Vogt qui a apporté les doigtés à notre édition Urtext de cette oeuvre facile à jouer. Celle-ci offre le texte fondé à partir du volume musicologique à paraître prochainement de l?Edition Complète des ?uvres de Brahms / Classique / Editeur: Katrin Eich / Doigtés: Lars Vogt / Partition / Broché /

HN 1215 · ISMN M-2018-1215-1 When his contemporaries heard the works that Johannes Brahms had composed during his summer holiday in Ischl in 1893 ? the Piano Pieces op. 118 ?, they were delighted. Clara Schumann was one of the first to be allowed to get to know the new pieces, and she attested that they contained ?a wealth of sentiment in the smallest of dimensions?. Philipp Spitta fittingly said that the works were ?perfect for slowly absorbing in solitude and tranquillity?. Opus 118 contains two of the composer?s bestknown miniatures ? the Intermezzo in A major and the Romanze in F major. We particularly recommend this volume, based on the musical text in the New Brahms Complete Edition, to all those who wish to immerse themselves in the world of Brahms? late works.
