Franz Anton Hoffmeister : Viola Concerto in D major

Viola and Piano – Classical Period

Description:

Franz Anton Hoffmeister's Viola Concerto in D major is one of the most important audition pieces for viola players, often paired with the Stamitz concerto. This G. Henle Urtext edition presents a piano reduction that, for the first time, reconstructs the earliest textual layer from the complicated source tradition, bringing the score as close as possible to Hoffmeister's actual intentions. The edition is edited by Norbert Gertsch and Julia Ronge, with a piano reduction by Johannes Umbreit. The score includes a detailed critical commentary and is expertly furnished with fingering and bowing marks by the renowned violist, Kim Kashkashian.

Product Features:

• Definitive Audition Piece: Alongside the Stamitz concerto, this work is crucial for viola students and professional auditions (ABRSM Grade 8 recommended).
• Scholarly Urtext Reconstruction: The edition reconstructs the earliest layer of the source manuscript, offering an unparalleled level of historical accuracy.
• Expert Fingerings & Bowings: Features practical performance markings by the world-renowned violist Kim Kashkashian.
• Comprehensive Edition: Includes cadenzas by Robert D. Levin and both marked and unmarked string parts for performance and study.

Performance Tips:

This concerto requires the soloist to play with the characteristic Classical elegance and lyrical grace. The outer movements demand light, precise articulation and clean scale work, while the middle movement calls for a warm, singing tone and sensitive phrasing. The presence of two sets of fingerings (Kim Kashkashian's and Robert D. Levin's cadenzas) allows the performer to choose an interpretation that best suits their technical style. Focus on balancing the viola's warm middle voice with the piano's accompaniment.

弗朗茨・安東・霍夫邁斯特 : D大調中提琴協奏曲

中提琴與鋼琴 – 古典時期

簡介:

弗朗茨・安東・霍夫邁斯特（Franz Anton Hoffmeister）的《D大調中提琴協奏曲》是中提琴演奏者最重要的試音曲目之一，常與史塔米茲（Stamitz）的協奏曲並列。然而，該曲的流傳源頭十分複雜，僅存一份覆蓋多層標記的同期手稿。這份G. Henle原典版的鋼琴縮譜，首次還原了該手稿中最原始的文本層次，從而最大限度地接近了霍夫邁斯特的真實意圖。這份還原的原始樂譜附有詳細的批判性評論，並由著名中提琴家金·卡什卡什安（Kim Kashkashian）親自添加了指法和弓法標記。

產品特點:

• 權威試奏曲: 與史塔米茲的協奏曲並列，是中提琴學生和專業試音的關鍵曲目（ABRSM 8級推薦）。
• 學術性原典重建: 樂譜首次重建了原始手稿的最早文本層次，提供了無與倫比的歷史準確性。
• 專家指法與弓法: 由世界著名中提琴家金·卡什卡什安提供實用的演奏標記。
• 完整的樂譜: 包含由羅伯特·D·萊文（Robert D. Levin）所作的華彩樂段，以及有標記和無標記的絃樂分譜。

演奏提示:

演奏此協奏曲時，獨奏者應努力展現古典時期的優雅與抒情魅力，並要求清晰、富有表現力的音色和精確的分句。快樂章需要輕巧、精準的分句和音階技巧，而慢樂章則要求溫暖、如歌般的音色。樂譜中包含金·卡什卡什安的指法和弓法，為演奏者提供了駕馭該作品技術要求的重要指導。應著重於平衡中提琴溫暖的中音區與鋼琴的伴奏。

收錄曲目:

• D大調中提琴協奏曲 (ABRSM: 中提琴 8級推薦)
