Carl Maria von Weber: Selected Piano Works (Concert Pieces, Variations)

Carl Maria von Weber: Selected Piano Works (Concert Pieces, Variations)

Carl Maria von Weber is best-known as a master of Romantic opera, but he was originally a virtuoso pianist who created a substantial amount of piano music for concert use. Next to his four piano sonatas, the five large and brilliant concert pieces brought together in this book, and two final variation cycles, are certainly his most important piano solo pieces. From the early Momento capriccioso op. 12 of 1808 to the dazzling Aufforderung zum Tanz op. 65 and Polacca brillante op. 72, it is possible to trace by these technically-demanding works the composer/pianist’s development of a very mature and impressive formal compositional mastery. In the extensive preface to thisthoroughly-researched Urtext edition one can read, among other things, the underlying programme that Weber came up with for the Aufforderung zum Tanz.

Carl Maria Von Weber: Aufforderung Zum Tanze - Rondo Brillant

Carl Maria Von Weber: Aufforderung Zum Tanze - Rondo Brillant

Alongside the opera “Der Freischütz”, Weber’s “Invitation to the Dance” in D flat major op. 65 is his most famous work. In the 19th century, Weber’s spirited piece was considered the virtual incarnation of the waltz. Weber here arranged the waltz frenzy of the dance-crazy Biedermeier era in a concertante form, letting one waltz follow the other, sometimes gently swaying, sometimes wildly stomping. The movements are framed by a poetic introduction and a finale. The work is presented here in an Urtext edition based on the autograph fair copy, but also takes into account the first edition and a copyist’s manuscript. Besides information concerning these sources, one can read in theeditor’s detailed preface about the programmatic interpretation that Weber is supposed to have given to the introduction and finale at the first performance, allowing one to vividly imagine a danced execution of the work.

Carl Maria Von Weber: Concertino Op. 45 For Horn And Orchestra

Carl Maria Von Weber: Concertino Op. 45 For Horn And Orchestra

The horn is surely the most “romantic” of instruments, and it is a well-known fact that it plays a prominent role in Weber’s oeuvre. Der Freischütz and Oberon would be unthinkable without their horn calls, whether to signify yearning or the clarion call of the hunt. But Weber did more than give the instrument important solo parts in his operas; he also wrote a virtuoso concert piece that to this day is regarded as one of the most difficult in the whole horn repertoire – not least because the soloist has to play three-part chords (!) in the cadenza. This Henle Urtext edition is based on the autograph, the engraver’s copy (checked by Weber himself) and the first edition, and so offers the best possible musical text for those wishing to learn this highly effective virtuoso piece. The Preface also for the first time provides biographical details of Sebastian Rauch, the Munich horn player who commissioned this Concertino.

Carl Maria von Weber: 6 Sonatas for Piano and Violin op. 10 (b)

Carl Maria von Weber: 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.

Carl Maria Von Weber: Piano Sonata In C Op.24

Carl Maria Von Weber: Piano Sonata In C Op.24

Carl Maria von Weber’s four piano sonatas, all composed in the decade 1812-1822, are considered the pillars of his not very extensive piano oeuvre. In these sonatas, Weber, who was one of the most renowned pianists of his era and often also improvised in his concerts, fully satisfied the expectations of the audiences of his time. Brilliant playing technique combines here with catchy melodies. The technically very demanding Sonata op. 24 in C major from 1812 brings together four different moods in its four movements. A gem is the E major Trio of the Minuet, which seems to anticipate the poetry of Mendelssohn’s “Midsummer Night’s Dream”. Besides the first edition, Weber’sautograph has been consulted for this Urtext edition. In her preface to this Urtext, editor Wiltrud Haug-Freienstein discusses interesting details concerning the sources, individual readings of the musical text and Weber’s compositional style.

Carl Maria Von Weber: Concert Piece For Piano And Orchestra In F Minor Op.79 - Piano Reduction

Carl Maria Von Weber: Concert Piece For Piano And Orchestra In F Minor Op.79 - Piano Reduction

There were two reasons behind Weber?s hesitation to perform his opus 79, known as "Concert Piece" in public. As he wrote to the music journalist Friedrich Rochlitz, experience had shown that concertos in minor keys were not as well-received by the public. Furthermore he was worried that he would be misjudged as a "musical charlatan" because while composing it he had had visions of a dramatic love story at the time of the crusades, which had influenced the character of the work. His concerns were superfluous; the effective virtuoso piece conquered the concert stages all over the world. It is now available for the first time as an Urtext edition. The world famous pianist Marc-André Hamelin provided the fingering.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Quartette Fur Flote, Violine, Viola Und Violoncello

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Quartette Fur Flote, Violine, Viola Und Violoncello

A very readable foreword and extensive Critical Commentary with all necessary information enrich this Urtext edition by master Munich flautist and Mozart expert Henrik Wiese. One may learn there, for instance, that there are some peculiarities in the transmission history of Mozart’s four flute quartets: one quartet (C major, Anh. 171 [K. 285b]) is in all likelihood falsely attributed and thus not by Mozart at all, another (G major, K. 285a) survives in only two movements, and peculiarly at that, raising at least some doubts about the established version, and a third flute quartet, though doubtless by Mozart, remains completely misdated in the Köchel catalogue (that in A major,K. 298, composed in 1786 not 1778). Only the first flute quartet, in D major (K. 285), can be dated clearly, to Mozart’s stay in Mannheim in 1777. There he had fallen hopelessly in love with Aloysia Weber, the elder sister of Constanze who years later would become his wife. This masterful edition is worth acquiring for this work alone.
