Air With Variations From Suite In E major

Air With Variations From Suite In E major

These variations are among Handel’s best-known keyboard works. The composer was allegedly inspired to create its unusual theme when, seeking refuge in a smithy’s shop from a sudden rain-shower, he heard the blacksmith singing a cheerful melody to the sound of his anvil. Handel used the theme with five variations as the closing movement of his fifth keyboard suite, which he published in 1720. With its catchy theme, the Harmonious Blacksmith variations enjoyed increasing popularity thereafter, including as an independent piece. The edition presented here uses Handel’s edition of the Suite as its main source (since he definitely checked it personally), along with the availablemanuscript sources.

6 Sonatas For Piano And Violin op. 10 : 6 Sonatas for Piano and Violin op. 10 (b)

6 Sonatas For Piano And Violin op. 10 : 6 Sonatas for Piano and Violin op. 10 (b)

Weber composed an incredible array of compositions in his rather short but at the same time tireless life. Many of them have still to be discovered. The Six Violin Sonatas op. 10 (b), composed in Darmstadt in 1810, are most certainly amongst them. The individual movements are rather short and also not particularly difficult technically. The music is, on the other hand, all the more compelling, which is partly due to the various integrated dance forms: “Carattere Espagnuolo” and “Air Polonais” in Sonata No. 2, “Air Russe” in No. 3, “Siciliano” in No. 5 and a “Polacca” in No. 6.

32 Variations In C-minor WoO 80

32 Variations In C-minor WoO 80

Among the Variations on an Original Theme, WoO 80 from 1806 constitutes a special case in that Beethoven consciously draws on older practices. A chromatically descending bass line in the theme provides the foundation for the variations, its ostinato-like repetition lending the composition the air of a passacaglia. The revised musical text of the Henle Urtext edition, with an extensive preface and commentary section, was prepared on the basis of the Critical Report in the Beethoven Complete Edition and is published as a stand-alone edition from “Variations for Piano II” (HN 1269). Ian Fountain provided the fingerings.Among the Variations on an Original Theme, WoO 80 from 1806 constitutes a special case in that Beethoven consciously draws on older practices.

The Lark : Arrangement for Piano

The Lark : Arrangement for Piano

“The Lark” is one of the most popular Russian songs of the Romantic era, composed by the founder of the Russian nationalist school, Mikhail Glinka. His fellow countryman, Mili Balakirev, took this simple, melancholy air as the basis for a highly virtuosic piano transcription la Liszt. It is an impressive bravura piece of moderate length that is ideally suited as an encore or in recitals. While researching this new Urtext edition, G. Henle Publishers succeeded in unearthing two sensational sources: Balakirev’s autograph manuscript, believed to have been lost, was rediscovered, as was a print copy with revisions in the composer’s own hand that documents the definitive version. Not only the edition, but the fingerings, too, are of the very highest quality; they were prepared by Russian star pianist Evgeny Kissin.
