Johannes Brahms: Waltzes Op.39: Piano: Instrumental Album

An Urtext edition of Johannes Brahms's sixteen Waltzes Op.39 for Piano duet as edited and fingered by Walter Georgii.

Brahms’ Hungarian Dances count on brilliant and spirited virtuosity whereas his 16 Waltzes Op. 39 are more modest and intimate. Yet they are just as haunting who isn’t familiar with the gently rockingmelody of no. 14 that is one of Brahms’ best-known musical ideas? His publisher must have had an inkling of the success of this collection as shortly after its publication in its original version for Piano four hands in1866 he asked the composer for a version for Piano solo. Henle are now publishing it in a revised edition based on the musical text of the new Brahms Complete Edition.

Inventive and idiomatic transcriptions of these famous waltzes as performed by the Canadian Brass on their latest album Brahms on Brass. Advanced level.

Easy Piano Pieces with Practising Tips-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. Thepieces' 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.

This treasury of 38 works for solo piano spanning forty years of Brahms' long and prolific life includes the famous 'Edward' ballade; two capriccios; seven Hungarian Dances in the composer's own transcriptions for solo piano; six intermezzos; three rhapsodies; the complete sixteen waltzes op. 39; Sonata no. 3 the best known and most mature of Brahms' three piano sonatas; and the complete books of two legendary works the Variations and Fugue on a Theme by Handel and the celebrated and dramatic Variations on a Theme by Paganini. Sometimes termed the 'Romantic Classicist' Brahms successfully merged the seemingly contradictory qualities of romanticism and classicism blending poetry with elegance balance and restraint. A fine inexpensive compilation of piano classics reproduced from authoritative scores this volume will delight intermediate and advanced pianists.
