Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy Trios avec piano Editeur: Ernst Herttrich Doigtés: Klaus Schilde Après une uvre de jeunesse et un essai abandonné en 1831/32, Mendelssohn réussit enfin à s imposer avec son Trio pour piano en ré mineur op. 49, dans ce genre important de musique de chambre, lequel sera suivi six ans plus tard du Trio en ut mineur op. 66. Schumann saisit l´occasion de la publication du premier trio pour appeler le compositeur «le Mozart du 19e siècle», en se référant apparemment aux mélanges d éléments stylistiques classiques et romantiques. Le texte musical des deux fameux trios a été minutieusement révisé sur la base de l état actuel de la recherche. Nous proposons en outre la partie de flûte (HN 1297) de la version alternative de l op. 49 (flûte à la place du violon) arrangée par Mendelssohn lui-même.

Mendelssohn is considered a self-critical composer, who repeatedly reworked a number of his pieces until he deemed them worthy to be published. The path to his first Piano Trio was particularly rocky: only after several attempts was he able to complete it in the summer of 1839; it appeared in 1840 after further revisions. This perfectionism paid off, for Mendelssohn's D Minor Trio was immediately received with enthusiasm. Robert Schumann wrote: “It is the master trio of the present day, like those of Beethoven in Bb and D and that of Franz Schubert in Eb were in their time; a very beautiful composition which after years will still delight grandchildren and great-grandchildren.†Which was to prove true: even today, it numbers among the most popular works in the trio repertoire in general. The trio, taken from the volume Mendelssohn • Piano Trios HN 957, is now available from Henle for the first time also as a practical single edition.

After the great success of his first Piano Trio in d minor op. 49, some five years passed before Mendelssohn set to work on a new composition for this formation. But then the c-minor Trio came into being in a relatively short period in March/April 1845 and was published around a year later. Much more sombre in character than the sibling work, this second trio is also considered much more difficult in terms of technique (above all in the piano part). Thus, it has always stood somewhat in the shadow of the earlier trio. However, chamber music aficionados generally regard it as the more mature and challenging work in terms of compositional technique. The trio, taken from the volume Mendelssohn • Piano Trios HN 957, is now available from Henle for the first time also as a practical single edition.

This volume of works by the Viennese classical and romantic composers contains only transcriptions, and only from pieces for the piano. In most cases the right hand part is played on the violin, often alternating with or responding to the cello, thus the piano part is considerably easier than the original, and therefore accessible to children not yet capable of playing the original work. The selection includes the most popular pieces by the greatest composers (Haydn, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Schumann, Chopin and Grieg), such as, for instance, the second movement of the Mondschein-Sonate, and Träumerei.Dieser Band beinhaltet ausschließlich von Klavierwerken transkribierte Werke aus der Wiener Klassik und Romantik. Die Melodie der rechten Hand wird meistens von der Geige, oft mit dem Cello abwechselnd, einander antwortend gespielt. Dadurch ist die Klavierstimme im Vergleich zum Original wesentlich leichter, also sie ist auch für Kinder zu meistern, die das Originalstück sonst noch nicht spielen könnten. In der Auswahl kommen die beliebtesten Werke der größten Komponisten (Haydn, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Schumann, Chopin und Grieg) wie z. B. der zweite Satz der ‚Mondschein-Sonate oder das ‚Träumerei' vor.
