New performance material of this 19th-century key work is now published as part of the complete critical edition of the works by Robert Schumann, in an excellent notation and with a high editorial standard. For reasons that we still cannot comprehend today, Clara Schumann, supported by Joseph Joachim and Johannes Brahms, suppressed the late works of Robert Schumann and even destroyed some of them. It was not until 1937 that the Violin Concerto in D minor, Schumann's last major work, was brought to the public's attention. With its very own mixture of neo-Baroque style and ambiguous virtuosity, it stands for the unfathomable sides of German Romanticism and already portends the concert aesthetics of the 20th century. Christian Tetzlaff's note on his bowings and fingerings are included in both, the piano redution and the solo part. Instrumentation : violin and orchestra WoO 1

On her 34th birthday, Clara Schumann was not only given a grand piano by her husband, but the latest music material as well. Among them was the one-movement Concert-Allegro with Introduction for Pianoforte and Orchestra Op. 134 in which the dominance of the solo instrument is even stronger than in the previous composition Introduction and Allegro appassionato Op. 92 which also consists of one movement only. With both works, Schumann continued the reformation of the solo concerto genre as intended. Instrumentation : piano and orchestra op. 92

With more than 1, 200 titles from the orchestral and choral repertoire, from chamber music and musical theatre, Edition Eulenburg is the world's largest series of scores, covering large part of music history from the Baroque to the Classical era and looking back on a long tradition. Instrumentation : piano trio op. 110

'The piano is most subtly interwoven with the orchestra - one cannot think of one without the other. [... ] In this Piano Concerto the pianist is not only soloist but orchestral musician as well', Clara Schumann wrote after the world premiere. As she and even all following pianists had to learn, the unusually tight integration of the piano into the orchestra put increased demands on the pianist and the conductor - since the contrast principle of classical solo concertos here makes way for a fusion principle. Despite certain initial difficulties of understanding, the Piano Concerto became one of the most popular pieces of Romantic music. Instrumentation : piano and orchestra op. 54

At first described as a 'religious song' by Schumann, the motet 'Verzweifle nicht' could be heard with organ accompaniment for the first time on 4 July 1850 on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the University's St. Pauli choral society in Leipzig. He wrote the organ version specifically for this performance for he had originally planned an orchestral accompaniment. That, however, could only be completed later and was eventually premiered in 1853. In a letter to Schumann, Herrmann Langer, the conductor of both world premieres, mentioned 'the wonderful effect which the same has produced' and that, to him, 'the motet was one of the most stimulating and inspiring creations in male-voice literature'. Instrumentation : 2 mixed choirs op. 93

'You were often on my mind when I was writing', wrote Robert Schumann to Joseph Joachim who had encouraged him to write this concerto. In view of Schumann's illness, however, Joachim began to have his doubts about the value of the work. In his will, Joachim prohibited the ? rst performance until the 100th anniversary of Schumann's death in 1956. After detailed editorial work, the premiere was brought forward to 1937. The theme of the middle movement probably formed the basis of Schumann's Geistervariationen ('Ghost Variations'), the character of the third movement is that of a grand polonaise. Yehudi Menuhin who performed the world premiere of the unedited version of Schumann's solo part saw in this piece 'the bridge between Beethoven's and Brahms' concertos'. Instrumentation : violin and orchestra

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. Instrumentation : piano

Despite the work's history, Clara Schumann herself began to associate this piece with her husband's impending madness which subsequently led to the composer's self-imprisonment in Dr. Franz Richarz's Endenich sanatorium, Schumann's Violin Sonata No. 3 in A minor stands out as a unique piece of music by the romantic composer. Instrumentation : violin and piano op. posth.

In the 19th century, this cycle of variations counted among the most famous piano works of Schumann and was part of the standard repertoire for two pianos. Created in 1843, this work was played by Clara Schumann together with Ferdinand Hiller, Anton Rubinstein, Carl Reinecke, Adolph Henselt, Adolf Jensen, Ignaz Moscheles and Johannes Brahms, among others. A masterpiece of the literature for two pianos now available in a carefully revised new edition. Instrumentation : 2 pianos op. 46

Lettres d'amour

Der Reiz sich zu maskieren, zu verkleiden und fÃ¼r einen Moment jemand anderes zu sein wurde in der Musik durch Kompositionen wie "Ein Maskenball", "Maskerade" oder "Carnaval" vielfach zum Ausdruck gebracht. In den humoristischen Variationen Ã¼ber ein Thema von Robert Schumann lÃ¤sst Peter Wittrich den frÃ¶hlichen Landmann in verschiedene Rollen schlÃ¼pfen und begibt sich mit ihm auf eine Zeitreise vom Barock bis zur Moderne. In zehn Variationen macht Wittrich den Landmann mit den verschiedenen Stilen und berÃ¼hmten Themen der Musikepochen bekannt, indem er das beliebte Thema Robert Schumanns kontrapunktisch im Sinne Bachs verarbeitet, ihm die Mozart'sche Sonatenhauptsatzform Ã¼berstÃ¼lpt oder den Landmann eine stolze Polonaise mit Frï¿½dï¿½rick Chopin tanzen lÃ¤sst. Der frÃ¶hliche Landmann wird auÃŸerdem zum Jazzpianisten und improvisiert mit Ella Fitzgerald und Oscar Peterson im Bluesstil, bevor er sich in einem Grand final brillant dem rauschenden Virtuosentum des 19. Jahrhunderts gemeinsam mit Tschaikowsky, Liszt und Rachmaninov hingibt. Neben der AuffÃ¼hrung des kompletten Werks kÃ¶nnen, z. B. fÃ¼r "Jugend musiziert", auch einzelne Variationen nach stilistischen PrÃ¤ferenzen zu kleinen Zyklen zusammengestellt werden oder dem Originalwerk gegenÃ¼ber gestellt werden. Ein erfrischend unterhaltsamer Beitrag zum Schumann-Jahr 2010.Schwierigkeitsgrad: 3-4

The 19th century was not only the era of great forms, monumental symphonies and melodious sonatas, no, the Romantic composers proved to be versatile and highly imaginative on the field of little music pieces as well. Robert Schumann was a master of the character piece for "his" instrument, the piano. From thirty of such poetic miniatures, he selected thirteen in 1838 for his "Scenes of Childhood", opus 15, the seventh, i. e. the one right in the middle, being "Dreaming", the most famous among Schumann's compositions. It is a romantic gem the catchy melody of which will not get out of one's head. The beautiful setting contained in the present edition can be played even by non-pianists. Instrumentation : viola and piano op. 15/7

Rêverie - extrait de "Scènes d'enfants". op. 15/7. viola and piano.
