Khachaturian's Toccata in E-flat minor, written in 1932 as the first movement of a suite for solo piano, though the Toccata became so well known it was quickly considered a separate piece.Khatchaturians Toccata in es-Moll wurde 1932 als erster Satz einer Suite für Klavier komponiert. Die Toccata wurde jedoch so bekannt, dass sie sich schnell als eigenständiges Stück verbreitete.
Mozart's Violin Sonatas Volume 1. This complete edition of the Mozart Sonatas for Keyboard and Violin has been researched and prepared by Cliff Eisen, one of the most distinguished Mozart scholars of our time. Professor Eisen recognises that many of the apparent inconsistencies and idiosyncrasies of Mozart's notation are perfectly deliberate, and that the attempts in many other editions to impose uniformity upon similar phrases or musical paragraphs can be misguided. As he writes in the preface: 'the notion that the classical style represents a model of symmetry, balance and clarity is for the most part a 19th-century fiction. . .it has little to do with Mozart's actual practice, which is based primarily on variety of both content and articulation. So in this new edition, alternative readings found in parallel passages are preserved, rather than being sterilised by a spurious quest for conformity. Naturally all such instances are noted within the Critical Commentary. The highly individual beaming within Mozart's autographs is also respected in the new edition, as this often contributes to our aural perceptions of phrase structure and accent. Professor Eisen is conscious that there is no single 'Urtext' for this music. On the contrary he believes that 'there is compelling evidence that Mozart's later performances of his works were characterised by changes - sometimes substantial changes - in the musical text'. It is the achievement of this edition to indicate how far this freedom of musical expression can extend, and as such it is likely to take pride of place in the collections of all those involved in the study and performance of these masterpieces.Mozarts Violinsonaten Band 1. Die drei neuen Ausgaben beruhen auf allen verfügbaren authentischen Quellen, Manuskripten und Editionen, die sich direkt auf Mozart zurückführen lassen. Dazu gehören die autographen Niederschriften des Komponisten sowie die Erstausgabe der zu seinen Lebzeiten erschienenen Violinsonaten. Bei den Sonaten KV 301306 berücksichtigt die vorliegende Urtextausgabe in stärkerem Maß als andere moderne Editionen den Notentext des Erstdrucks, da dieser vermutlich auf Autographkopien zurückging, in die von Mozart autorisierte Lesart-Änderungen eingeflossen sind.

1849 was a highly productive year for Schumann. It was also during this period that he wrote this Adagio and Allegro, in which he explored the tonal possibilities of the recently invented valve horn.1849 war für Schumann ein höchst produktivstes Jahr. In diesem Zeitraum schrieb er auch das vorliegende Adagio und Allegro, in dem er sich mit den klanglichen Möglichkeiten des erst kürzlich erfundenen Ventilhorns beschäftigte.
Jonathan Dove's Treasures in Heaven is a 6.5 minute work for organ and SATB choir which sets Matthew 6:19-21 from the Bible, a text that exhorts the reader to gather treasures in heaven rather than on earth since where the treasure is, there will also be our hearts. The energetic piece is driven from the organ part with the choir singing in rhythmic but homophonic blocks.It was commissioned by Lord Crewe's Charity on the occasion of its tercentenary, in memory of the life and charitable foundation of Nathanial, Lord Crewe and premiered by the Choir of Durham Cathedral on 18 September 2021.This edition (EP 73595) is the choral leaflet, which includes the organ part.

Pavane pour une Infante défunte for solo piano. In preparing this Urtext edition of Ravel's piano music, Roger Nichols consulted no fewer than 14 sources - including sound recordings by Ravel himself and other pianists with whom the composer worked. As a result he is uniquely qualified to evaluate the complexity of the sources and, with this edition, has provided today's pianists with the tools to make their own well-informed performance choices about this infinitely-rewarding repertoire.Pavane pour une Infante défunte. Bei der Vorbereitung dieser Urtextausgabe von Ravels Klaviermusik hat Roger Nichols nicht weniger als 14 Quellen herangezogen - darunter Tonaufnahmen von Ravel selbst und anderen Pianisten, mit denen der Komponist zusammenarbeitete. Dadurch ist er in einzigartiger Weise in der Lage, die Komplexität der Quellen zu bewerten, und mit dieser Ausgabe hat er den Pianisten von heute das Handwerkszeug an die Hand gegeben, um ihre eigenen, fundierten Aufführungsentscheidungen für dieses unendlich lohnende Repertoire zu treffen.
Schumann's Cello Concerto RediscoveredIn her first Urtext edition for Edition Peters, internationally renowned cellist Josephine Knight reveals Robert Schumann's original version of his Cello Concerto in A minor Op. 129 - a piece he actually called a 'Concertstück' - removing generations of inauthentic editorial interventions. This is the only available modern scholarly edition of the work as Schumann originally conceived it, and restores the text from October 1850, based on the composer's manuscript held in the Biblioteka Jagiellöska in Kraków. This Full Score matches the separately available edition for Cello and Piano (EP 73488). Matching orchestral material is also available from the publisher. Only modern Urtext edition based on Schumann's original 1850 manuscript Many new corrections and clarifications, especially to the cello part Scholarly preface detailing history of the work and this edition by editor Josephine Knight, Piatti Professor of Cello at the Royal Academy of Music London Cello Part contains Josephine Knight's fingering and bowing suggestions Critical Commentary Cello and piano edition available separately from Edition Peters; orchestral parts available for rental Recording of the Concertstück featuring Josephine Knight available from DuttonRobert Schumann's tragic last years have mired many of his greatest works in unnecessary doubt. The story of the suppression of his Violin Concerto by well-meaning friends is relatively well-known. Few, however, know that the version of the Cello Concerto that is routinely heard today is so far from Schumann's original conception of the work - not only in details of phrasing and articulation, but also featuring a different ending with a bold final flourish from the cello. Composed in a burst of inspiration in two weeks in October 1850 shortly after he and Clara had moved to Düsseldorf, Schumann (who in 1850 was still in good health) never heard the piece performed. In an effort to promote a performance of the work, he gave the score to the cellist Robert Emil Bockmühl. Bockmühl made revisions that Schumann resisted, and the hoped-for performance never happened. Schumann's health failed and he died aged just 46 in 1856. The Concerto, in an already substantially revised form, was premiered in 1860 but it was not given significant recognition until it was championed by Pablo Casals in the 20th century by which time (and since) the text for the work had accreted additions and alterations from generations of soloists.Now Josephine Knight, Piatti Professor of Cello at the Royal Academy of Music, London has returned to the original 1850 manuscript of the work, which is in the Biblioteka Jagiellöska in Kraków, to reveal Schumann's original thoughts for the first time in a modern Urtext edition. The edition reflects Schumann's original conception of the work as a Concertstück and restores Schumann's musical text, free of posthumous interventions.'My ultimate wish,' says the editor, 'is to give performers both access to, and confidence that they are playing from, an edition which is a true representation of the piece in its original form, no matter how much more difficult this might be. I found that incorporating the changes enabled the piece to take on a completely different character - one that is lighter and happier, even "cheerful", as Schumann himself described the work.'
Daníel Bjarnason's Brothers is an opera in three acts. The 100-minute work, with a libretto by Kerstin Perski, is based on the screenplay of the same name by Susanne Bier and Anders Thomas Jensen. Commissioned by the Danish National Opera / Den Jyske Opera, the opera follows a miliary officer after he returns home from the war in Afghanistan, finding that his relationship with his family has changed forever. The first performance took place on 16 August 2017 at Musikhuset Aarhus. This Edition Peters product is the opera vocal score. The full score and parts are available to hire.

The complete two-part inventions, BWV 772-786, freely transcribed for guitar by Richard F. Sayage. The volume includes suggested fingerings and positions. Eight of the inventions have been transposed to keys more suitable for the guitar (Nos. 2, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, 14 & 15). Sayage notes: "The top line, typically played by the right hand on the keyboard, is in fact, complete. The left hand, however, has undergone some larger transformation. The feasibility of performance remains the driving issue behind said editing.' Diese freie Transkription der 15 zweistimmigen Inventionen BWV 772-786 für Gitarre ist von Richard F. Sayage. Der Band enthält Vorschläge für Fingersätze und Positionen. Acht der Inventionen wurden in für die Gitarre geeignetere Tonarten transponiert (Nr. 2, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, 14 & 15). Sayage merkt an: "Die oberste Zeile, die normalerweise von der rechten Hand auf der Klaviatur gespielt wird, ist in der Tat vollständig. Die linke Hand hat jedoch eine größere Umgestaltung erfahren. Die Durchführbarkeit der Aufführung bleibt die treibende Kraft hinter dieser Bearbeitung."
Urtext Edition by Johannes Fischer "Go and read Shakespeare's Tempest." That was the advice Beethoven gave to his biographer, Anton Schindler, when asked about this work. Whether the nickname "Tempest" is justified or not, the outside movements are unquestionably propelled by a driving momentum.Lesen sie nur Shakespeares Sturm, riet Beethoven seinem Biografen Anton Schindler, als der ihn nach dem Werk fragte. Inwieweit der Beiname Sturm- Sonate gerechtfertigt ist, sei dahingestellt, doch sind die beiden Ecksätze zweifellos von einem vorandrängenden Impetus gekennzeichnet.
While working on his final piano sonatas Beethoven was commissioned to write a large number of folk song arrangements, most of them to English melodies (Ye Shepherds; Faithfu' Johnnie; The Soldier; The Chase of the Wolf; etc.). A selection of these appears in this revised edition. The 15 pieces are grouped into trios, duets and solo songs for every register and make a welcome addition to every Lieder. The separate vocal score makes the pieces easier for singers to perform as all stanzas are placed directly beneath the lines of the music.Während der Arbeit an seinen letzten Klaviersonaten erhielt Beethoven den Auftrag, eine große Anzahl von Volksliedbearbeitungen zu schreiben, die meisten davon zu englischen Melodien (Ye Shepherds; Faithfu' Johnie; The Soldier; The Chase of the Wolf; usw.). Eine Auswahl davon erscheint in dieser überarbeiteten Ausgabe für Gesang, Geige, Violoncello und Klavier. Die 15 Stücke sind in Terzette, Duette und Sololieder für jede Stimmlage geordnet und stellen eine willkommene Ergänzung zum Liedrepertoire dar. Die separate Vokalpartitur (EP11251a) erleichtert den Sängerinnen und Sängern die Aufführung der Stücke, da darin alle Strophen direkt unter die Notenzeilen gesetzt erscheinen.

The "Davidsbund" - a group of artists who had joined forces in a revolutionary struggle against the backward structures in the artistic world, amongst whose members he counted both real and imaginary people - only existed in Schumann's imagination. He published the first edition of his "Davidstänze" under the pseudonym "Florestan and Eusebius" - the two characters that represented contrasting (impetuous and gentle) aspects of his own self. Clara Wieck, to whom he unsuccessfully proposed several times whilst writing it, is also represented; "more than anything" he dedicated these dances to her. These short, extremely diverse tone pictures afford us an intimate insight into Schumann's emotional state at the time.This Urtext edition for piano solo has been edited from sources by Hans Joachim Köhler. Die Davidsbündler waren eine Gruppe von von Künstlern, die sich zum revolutionären Kampf gegen die rückständigen Strukturen in der Kunstwelt zusammengeschlossen hatten und zu deren Mitgliedern sowohl reale als auch fiktive Personen zählten. Dieser Kreis existierte nur in Schumanns Vorstellung. Die erste Ausgabe seiner "Davidsbündlertänze" veröffentlichte er unter dem Pseudonym "Florestan und Eusebius" - zwei Figuren, die gegensätzliche (ungestüme und sanfte) Aspekte seines eigenen Ichs verkörperten. Auch Clara Wieck, der er während des Schreibens mehrmals erfolglos einen Heiratsantrag machte, ist vertreten; "mehr als alles andere" widmete er ihr diese Tänze. Diese kurzen, äußerst abwechslungsreichen Klangbilder geben uns einen intimen Einblick in Schumanns damalige Gefühlslage.Die vorliegende Urtextausgabe für Klavier solo wurde von Hans Joachim Köhler herausgegeben.
Robert Schumann's Carnaval is much more than a set of character pieces and musical portraits, it is in fact also a work of ingenious orthographies. Schumann realized that the name of his fiancée's hometown, 'Asch', could betranslated into notes according to the German reckoning of pitch names: 'A'.This Urtext edition for piano solo has been edited from sources by Hans Joachim Köhler.Robert Schumanns Carnaval ist weit mehr als eine Sammlung von Charakterstücken und musikalischen Porträts, es ist auch ein Werk genialer Orthographie.
