Balakirev : The Lark – Arrangement for Piano (Urtext Edition)

Composer: Mily Balakirev (after Mikhail Glinka)
Editor: Wendelin Bitzan
Fingerings: Evgeny Kissin

Overview:
The Lark is one of the most beloved Russian songs from the Romantic era, originally composed by Mikhail Glinka, the founder of the Russian nationalist school. The piece was later transformed into a stunningly virtuosic piano transcription by Mily Balakirev, akin to the grandeur of Liszt's arrangements. This dazzling showpiece, though of moderate length, is a favorite among pianists for encores and recitals, showcasing both technical brilliance and emotional depth.

This Urtext edition from G. Henle Verlag is based on two sensationally rediscovered sources: Balakirev’s long-lost autograph manuscript and a print copy with his handwritten revisions, ensuring the most authentic and definitive version of the work. The fingerings have been expertly prepared by renowned Russian pianist Evgeny Kissin, making this an indispensable edition for serious pianists.

Performance Notes:
Balakirev’s arrangement of The Lark is known for its intricate ornamentation, rapid runs, and expressive phrasing. While it requires technical prowess, the piece remains manageable for advanced pianists and is particularly well-suited as an encore piece. It demands control over delicate textures and fluid arpeggios to capture the melancholic yet soaring character of Glinka’s melody.

About the Composer:
Mily Balakirev (1837–1910) was a Russian composer, pianist, and conductor, best known for his contributions to the "Mighty Handful" – a group of composers dedicated to developing a distinct Russian musical identity. He was highly influential in shaping the works of composers such as Rimsky-Korsakov and Borodin. His compositions, including the famously challenging Islamey, continue to be celebrated in the piano repertoire.

簡介:
雲雀(The Lark) 是俄羅斯浪漫時期最受喜愛的藝術歌曲之一,由俄羅斯民族樂派奠基者米哈伊爾・格林卡(Mikhail Glinka)所作。後來,作曲家米利・巴拉基列夫(Mily Balakirev)將這首哀婉動人的旋律改編成炫技華麗的鋼琴獨奏曲,其難度與李斯特的編曲作品不相上下。這首作品雖然篇幅適中,但充滿音樂張力與技巧挑戰,是鋼琴家音樂會與安可曲目中的經典選擇。

此版本由德國 G. Henle Verlag 出版社根據兩個珍貴的新發現資料校訂而成,包括巴拉基列夫原稿的親筆譜,以及一份包含作曲家本人修訂標記的印刷譜,確保這個版本的權威性與原創性。此外,指法標記由俄羅斯鋼琴大師葉夫根尼・基辛(Evgeny Kissin)親自編寫,為演奏者提供極具價值的詮釋指引。

演奏提示:
巴拉基列夫改編的雲雀 以其華麗的裝飾音、快速琶音與流暢的樂句聞名。這首作品要求演奏者具備高度的技巧掌控力,並能在細膩與炫技之間取得平衡。雖然技術要求較高,但對於進階鋼琴家而言,這是一首值得挑戰且能展現音樂性的優秀作品,特別適合作為音樂會安可曲目。

作者介紹:
米利・巴拉基列夫(Mily Balakirev, 1837–1910)是俄羅斯作曲家、鋼琴家與指揮家,也是「強力集團」(Mighty Handful)的核心人物之一,致力於發展具有俄羅斯民族特色的音樂。他的作品影響了里姆斯基・柯薩科夫(Rimsky-Korsakov)、波羅丁(Borodin)等作曲家。他的鋼琴作品,如極具挑戰性的東方幻想曲(Islamey),至今仍是鋼琴家炫技演出的經典曲目。
