No genre reflects Skrjabin's artistic evolution more vividly than his piano sonatas. Sonatas Nos. 6, 7 and 8 which are presented in this edition were written between 1911 and 1913, partly contemporaneously with the late Sonatas Nos. 9 and 10.

All autographs and printed sources including Skrjabin's sketches and drafts have been thoroughly evaluated. The edition presents a meticulously edited musical text offering new readings and is supplemented by an informative Preface on the sonatas' genesis and significance (Ger/Eng). The Critical Commentary (Eng) provides information on alternative readings and editorial decisions. An elegant well-presented engraving with practical page-turns rounds off this edition at the cutting edge of musical scholarship.

The Barenreiter edition of Skrjabin's Piano Sonatas is now complete:
Vol. I: Sonatas Nos. 1, 2, 3 and earlier works and fragments BA 9616
Vol. II: Sonatas Nos. 4, 5 BA 9617
Vol. IV: Sonatas 9, 10 BA 9619

Buchcover
Scholarly-critical Urtext edition at the cutting edge of musicology

Valuable notes on interpretation by Steffen Schleiermacher (Ger/Eng)

Well-suited for medium-level piano teaching
Liszt, Franz
Piano Pieces from the Years 1880–1885
BARENREITER URTEXT
Editor: Kube, Michael
BA 10871 | EUR 18.95 | 9790006561599
The significance of Liszt's late piano pieces has been the subject of much debate. On the one hand they are considered heralds of the elderly Liszt's waning inspiration; on the other hand, they are praised as being visionary pieces on the basis of their radical simplicity as well as bold harmonic language. This edition gathers together some of the pieces most revealing of Liszt's late style. As they are of moderate difficulty, they are also particularly suited for piano lessons.

The editor has consulted previously neglected sources and describes the genesis and source tradition of the pieces in the Foreword. The Critical Commentary provides information on alternative readings and editorial decisions. An elegant engraving, practical page turns and valuable performance suggestions by the acclaimed pianist Steffen Schleiermacher make this long-overdue new scholarly edition indispensable for pianists.

Urtext edition of Franck’s Violin Sonata in Franz Linden’s version for flute and piano

With an informative text part on the genesis and reception history of the violin sonata and the version for flute (Ger/Fr/Eng)
Franck, Cesar
Sonata for piano and violin
arranged for piano and flute
BARENREITER URTEXT | Score of the original version for piano and violin with inserted flute part
Editor: Woodfull-Harris, Douglas | Arranger: Linden, Franz
BA 8738 | EUR 21.50 | 9790006575404
Cesar Franck's Sonata for Piano and Violin is one of the most highly esteemed works in the violin literature, a masterpiece of cyclical form. With its grace and expressiveness it is virtually paradigmatic for the epoch of musical romanticism. The sonata was composed in 1886 and is dedicated to the Belgian violinist and composer Eugene Ysaye.

After Franck's death the publisher of the sonata's original edition, Julien Hamelle of Paris, supplied not only an additional version for piano and cello authorized by the composer (BA 10917), but other arrangements, including a version for flute prepared by Hamelle's in-house arranger Franz Linden (ca. 1910).

This Urtext edition for flute and piano is based on Linden's arrangement, a copy of which was only recently unearthed by the editor, and on the sources of the original Violin Sonata, especially for the piano part. Linden's version largely adopts the original violin part, with particular violin techniques rendered playable on the flute by means of alternative notes. In this way the sonata's characteristic qualities, including the highly cantabile solo part, sound perfectly natural on the flute, lending this version its special appeal.

An informative introduction by Gudula Schutz (Ger/Fr/Eng) on the genesis and reception history of the sonata as well as a Critical Commentary (Eng) round off the edition.

Short and easy-to-play pieces for liturgical use

Also suitable for organ lessons

With easy pedal parts
Festive Romantic Organ Music
Easy preludes and postludes of the 19th century
Performance score, Anthology | Editor(s): Rockstroh, Andreas
BA 11260 | EUR 22.95 | 9790006569922
In the 19th century, many organ compositions were written as accompaniments to church services. They were intended for beginners and experienced organists alike. Michael Gotthard Fischer (1773-1829), Adolph Hesse (1809-1863) and Gustav Adolf Merkel (1827-1885) are among the most well-known composers of this kind of repertoire.

The edition contains pieces in standard keys, employing few accidentals and using moderate tempos. The short and easy-to-play compositions for everyday liturgical use have been conceived so that they can be mastered even by beginners in pedal playing.

Composition based on a well-known chorale melody

Effective stylistic emulation of French Romanticism

Enrichment of the organ repertoire for festive occasions
Jong, Margaretha Christina de
Fantasia on "All People That on Earth Do Dwell"
op. 109
For organ
BA 11264 | EUR 18.95 | 9790006569724
This fantasia for organ was composed in 2019. The composition is based on a melody attributed to the French composer Louis Bourgeois (approx. 1510-1560) which is one of the most well-known melodies in the Christian musical tradition. It has also been sung to various other texts, such as Lutheran chorales. In Bach's work, the melody appears in the cantata "Lord God, we praise Thee all of us" BWV 130.

The composer has retained the style of French Romanticism. The character of the work corresponds to the content of the text and culminates in a festive finale. This music is suitable for many church music occasions.

Bohuslav Martinu's "Field Mass" is one of his most significant vocal-instrumental works. It originated in 1939 in Paris in response to the outbreak of World War II and was intended for outdoor performance. The libretto, by Jiri Mucha, contains references to the Bible.

This study score adopts the musical text from the Bohuslav Martinu Complete Edition, Volume VI/2/2. As an interesting performance alternative, the appendix contains an early version of the ending that quotes the medieval Czech hymn "Jezu Kriste, stedry kneze" (Jesus Christ, Generous Prince).
