Unlike some of his other late works, Franck's Violin Sonata (HN 293), composed in 1886, was well-received by the public and critics from the very start. The beautiful arrangement for cello published in January 1888 distinguishes itself from the numerous other arrangements in that Franck expressly authorised it. The cellist Jules Delsart, who had heard a performance of the sonata in Paris in Decemb…

The autograph of a composition always makes fascinating reading - and this is particularly true of Schubert's Trio in Eb major op. 100, as it underwent many changes during its composition. The manuscript, parts of which were greatly revised, bears eloquent witness to this and offers an opportunity to trace the intricacies of Schubert's phrasing and articulation. This source is in a private collect…

Par FRANCK CESAR. Cette composition des années 1878/79, évoluant entre l'intimité de la musique de chambre et la plénitude sonore de la symphonie, inaugure une série d'oeuvres importantes, parmi les dernières, de César Franck. À l'origine, il y avait d'une part la triomphale exécution du trio pour piano datant de sa jeunesse, en 1871, dans le cadre des concerts de la toute nouvelle 'Société nation…

The scoring of Schubert's Auf dem Strom (On the River) for voice, horn and piano is reminiscent of that of the Hirt auf dem Felsen (Shepherd on the Rock, HN 969) with obligato clarinet. Both pieces were written in 1828 and each one upon a musician's request - in this case that of the horn player Rudolf Lewy. Schubert gave the first performance of Auf dem Strom with the latter and the tenor Ludwig …

The basis for the musical text of this study score was Henle's revised edition of Part I published in 1997 and Yo Tomita's brand new revision of Part II (spring 2007). A detailed commentary rounds off the editions. Both parts of the Well-Tempered Clavier are also available as Henle Urtext editions with and without fingerings (HN 14 and HN 1014).? / Piano

Opus 132. Par SCHUMANN ROBERT. Aucun poème romantique, aucun personnage de conte particulier n’a incité Schumann à écrire cette composition. On peut supposer aujourd’hui que le titre de ces pièces tout d’abord intitulées «Romanzen» voulait seulement évoquer un monde poétique, féérique. Probablement inspiré par le «Kegelstatt-Trio» K. 498 – «Trio des Quilles» – de Mozart, Schumann avait nourri inte…

The peripatetic life and career of the Belgian composer Henry Vieuxtemps anticipated the European concept almost prophetically in the 19th century. The best example is his Elégie of 1848: written in St. Petersburg, it celebrated its greatest triumphs in Paris, was printed in Offenbach am Main, and enthusiastically reviewed in London. Critics were quick to note the expressive contrasts as well as t…
