Piano Quartet B Flat Major Op. 13

The towering composer who perfected the early symphonic form and invented the modern string quartet also left his indelible mark on the sonata. During 50 years of inspired creative effort Haydn experimented constantly with the sonata form adding a clear thematic structure to the tonal design inherited from earlier composers. This comprehensive new playing edition conatins 52 sonatas by the master - a treasury of keyboard compositions in which echoes of the baroque and harbingers of romanticism blend with the lucidity and elegance of 18th century classicism. Reprinted in two volumes from an authoritative Breitkopf and Hartel edition the sonatas are arranged in a chronologicalsequence based on recent scholarship. Extremely clear and readable with ample space for notes this Dover edition is a must for serious pianists students and music lovers in general. It is an excellent inexpensive means to study and savour the inventive daring freedom and mastery that Haydn brought to the piano sonata.

?In the evening we played Robert?s E-Flat Major Quartet for the first time ? and I was once again truly delighted at this beautiful and so youthful work? enthused Clara Schumann in 1842. Inpreparation for this work Schumann had studied String quartets by the Viennese Classical composers. This is why all of the parts in the quartet are treated equally forming a splendid ensemble. Our edition has anextensive critical commentary on account of the difficult source situation. The fold-out page in the Cello part was designed with music practice in mind. The Piano Quartet and the Piano quintet op. 44 referred toas ?sister works? were both composed in Schumann?s ?chamber music year?. For this reason we were publishing them both in the 2006 ?Schumann Year?.
