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

This piece reflects Janácek's memories of childhood and youth in his native Hukvaldy and the Augustinian Abbey in Brno. Kry?tof Maratka, a Czech composer resident in France and a great admirer of Janácek, has arranged the original version to produce a welcome addition to the string quartet repertoire.Youth for wind sextet, is a masterpiece from Janácek's late period (1924). Maratka has successfully managed to transform the concise winds' sound that give this work its unique flavour into the timbre of the strings, thereby creating a 'third string quartet? of the composer.- Janácek's wind sextet arranged for string quartet- Welcome addition to the string quartet repertoire- Foreword by the arranger (Cz/Eng/Ger) / Quatuor A Cordes

Written five years after the death of the composer the work reflects a powerful wish for an imaginary dialogue with a great creator; Upon learning the sad news coming from Paris in 1955 the plan of the work took shape quite soon but the work on the score itself materialized only in 1960 after a long period of gestation. Homage to Enescu has three parts – Prelude Melopoeia Polyphony – or three attitudes: one of awe striking the composer upon entering a vast world another of contemplation of its abyss and still another of lucidly returning to his work the only one capable of rendering him to his won artistic way. It was written forviolins alone (divided in four groups) whose numbers may be multiplied from 8 to 32. Instrumentally speaking Theodor Grigoriu intends an analysis of the rich color resources of the violin but also an investigation of Enescu’s unique original style of playing. The initial theme combines in the sense of an epiphany a monogram of the letters E.N.E.S.C.U. and two motifs from Octuor (Octet) and Chamber Symphony i.e. piece from youth and another from the end of his career both evoking a very characteristic Enescian Stimmung. E= mi / N = rest (in old neumes) / E = mi / S = si / C = do / U = do (ut) Ionel Perlea`s brilliant interpretation during his 1969 concert tour turned the audiences’ attention to this work propelling it into the concert life.
