Beethoven : Concerto for Pianoforte and Orchestra in D major, Op. 61 (after the Violin Concerto)

Author: Ludwig van Beethoven

Description:
After attending the premiere of Beethoven’s stately Concerto for Violin and Orchestra, Muzio Clementi approached the composer and requested a transcription for piano and orchestra. Beethoven fulfilled this request in 1807, providing not only an alternative version of the composition but also original cadenzas that he had not written for the Violin Concerto.

This version had long awaited a proper scholarly edition, and now, renowned Beethoven scholar Jonathan Del Mar has finally completed this task. By examining all known sources, Del Mar presents Beethoven’s precise articulation, dynamics, and cadenzas in this authoritative edition. Additionally, for the first time, the meaning of Beethoven’s "Solo" and "Tutti" markings is fully clarified, offering valuable insight into the composer’s intentions.

This groundbreaking scholarly critical edition is an essential addition to the repertoire of every pianist, orchestra, and music library.

Performance Tips:
This edition includes an Urtext solo piano part as well as an additional piano part with fingering, making it highly suitable for both study and performance. The piano reduction is presented in a new format: as was customary in the 19th century, the solo piano part contains tutti passages, cues, and the piano solo. This part is embedded within the piano reduction, similar to string and wind concertos, allowing the soloist to benefit from practical page turns and the possibility of leading the ensemble from the piano. The piano reduction includes a reduction of the orchestral score with the solo piano part in smaller print above it.

About the Composer:
Ludwig van Beethoven (1770–1827) was a German composer and pianist, considered one of the most influential musicians in Western classical music. His works, spanning from the late Classical period to early Romanticism, continue to shape musical traditions worldwide. His compositions, including symphonies, concertos, and sonatas, remain fundamental to the piano repertoire.

Arrangement Introduction:
This edition is based on Beethoven's own transcription of his Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 61, for piano and orchestra. The transcription was made at the request of Muzio Clementi and includes Beethoven’s original cadenzas, providing a unique perspective on this concerto.

貝多芬：D大調鋼琴與管弦樂團協奏曲，作品61（根據小提琴協奏曲改編）

作者： 路德維希·范·貝多芬

簡介：
在貝多芬莊嚴宏偉的《D大調小提琴協奏曲》首演後，著名鋼琴家穆齊奧·克萊門蒂（Muzio Clementi）請求作曲家將此作品改編為鋼琴與管弦樂團版本。貝多芬於1807年完成了這個改編，不僅提供了一個鋼琴獨奏的替代版本，更包含了他原創的華彩段（Cadenza）——這些華彩段在小提琴協奏曲版本中並未出現。

這個版本長久以來未曾根據可靠資料進行完整校訂，而如今，著名的貝多芬學者強納森·德爾·馬爾（Jonathan Del Mar）終於完成了這項工作！透過詳細研究所有現存資料，德爾·馬爾精確呈現了貝多芬的獨奏鋼琴指法、力度標記，並完整收錄了貝多芬親筆撰寫的華彩段。此外，本版本首次明確解釋了貝多芬在樂譜中標記的「Solo」與「Tutti」的確切含義，使演奏者更能理解作曲家的原意。

這是一部極具學術價值且精確校訂的權威版本，對於每位鋼琴家、管弦樂團與音樂圖書館來說，都是不可或缺的經典版本。

演奏提示：
本版本包含原典鋼琴獨奏譜，以及額外附有指法標記的鋼琴譜，使其適合學習與演奏。鋼琴縮編採用全新格式，如同19世紀的出版標準，獨奏鋼琴部分包含Tutti（全奏）提示、樂段標註與完整獨奏部分。此部分與弦樂及管樂協奏曲的標準寫法一致。獨奏部分嵌入樂團縮編內，使獨奏者在必要時可從鋼琴引導樂團，亦可避免翻頁問題。鋼琴縮編包括完整的管弦樂總譜縮編，並在上方以小字標示鋼琴獨奏聲部。

作曲者介紹：
路德維希·范·貝多芬（Ludwig van Beethoven, 1770–1827）是德國著名作曲家、鋼琴家，被譽為古典樂派與浪漫樂派的橋樑。他的音樂充滿創新精神，對後世影響深遠，代表作包括《第五號交響曲（命運）》、《第九號交響曲（合唱）》、《月光奏鳴曲》及多首經典協奏曲。

改編介紹：
此版本為貝多芬親自改編，由其《D大調小提琴協奏曲》轉寫為鋼琴協奏曲。這一改編應克萊門蒂的請求而作，不僅提供了鋼琴獨奏的替代版本，更保留了貝多芬為鋼琴設計的原創華彩段，使其成為具有獨特價值的版本。
