Antonín Dvořák : Legends, Op. 59

Piano Duet (1 Piano, 4 Hands) – Romantic Period

Description:

Following the great success of the Slavonic Dances op. 46, the publisher Simrock was extremely happy when Dvořák presented him with the prospect of a new cycle for piano four hands, the “Legends” op. 59, in October 1880. Barely a year was to pass before the new work was published. The ten charming pieces were later dedicated to the Viennese music critic Eduard Hanslick, who, upon playing through the work, wrote that one felt a “sense of pleasure” that “feels doubly good in our pessimistic times”. This G. Henle Urtext edition, edited by Wolfgang Eggerking with fingering by Andreas Groethuysen, provides a definitive and scholarly score of this beloved collection.

Product Features:

• Charming Character Pieces: The ten "Legends" are known for their intimate, lyrical, and cheerful character, making them a delightful collection for piano duettists.
• Authoritative Urtext Edition: The score is based on meticulous scholarly research, ensuring accuracy and reliability.
• Expert Fingering: Includes practical and musically insightful fingerings by Andreas Groethuysen, a renowned specialist in the piano duo repertoire.
• Historical Significance: These pieces were an immediate success and were enthusiastically endorsed by Eduard Hanslick, a key figure in 19th-century music criticism.

Performance Tips:

The "Legends" require a refined and sensitive approach. Unlike the more fiery Slavonic Dances, these pieces lean toward lyrical expression and graceful movement. Duo pianists should focus on achieving a light, transparent texture and a seamless blend of sound, allowing the charming melodies to sing clearly. Coordination in rubato and dynamic shading is essential to convey the intimate and sometimes melancholic mood, living up to Hanslick's description of the pleasure they bring.

安東寧・德弗札克 : 傳奇，作品59

鋼琴四手聯彈（單鋼琴）– 浪漫時期

簡介:

繼《斯拉夫舞曲》作品46大獲成功後，出版商西姆羅克（Simrock）在1880年10月得知德弗札克（Antonín Dvořák）將會創作新的鋼琴四手聯彈曲集——《傳奇》，作品59時，感到非常高興。僅僅一年後，這部新作便出版發行。這十首迷人的作品後來題獻給維也納樂評家愛德華·漢斯利克（Eduard Hanslick），漢斯利克在演奏後評論道，這些曲子給人帶來「一種愉悅感」，「在我們悲觀的時代裡，這種愉悅感倍感美好」。這份G. Henle原典版，由沃爾夫岡·埃格爾金（Wolfgang Eggerking）編訂，並由安德烈亞斯·格羅伊特休森（Andreas Groethuysen）提供指法，是這套備受喜愛曲集的權威性學術樂譜。

產品特點:

• 迷人的性格小品: 這十首「傳奇」以其親密、抒情和歡快的特質而聞名，是鋼琴連彈者一套令人愉悅的曲集。
• 權威原典版: 樂譜基於嚴謹的學術研究，確保了準確性和可靠性。
• 專家指法: 包含由鋼琴二重奏專家安德烈亞斯·格羅伊特休森提供的實用且富有音樂洞察力的指法。
• 歷史意義: 這些作品曾獲得愛德華·漢斯利克的熱情推薦，在19世紀音樂評論界中具有重要地位。

演奏提示:

演奏《傳奇》需要一種精緻而敏感的處理方式。與更為熱情的《斯拉夫舞曲》不同，這些作品更傾向於抒情的表達和優美的律動。二重奏鋼琴家應著重於達成輕巧、透明的織體和聲音的無縫融合，讓迷人的旋律清晰地歌唱出來。對彈性速度（rubato）和力度變化的協調至關重要，以傳達親密和時而憂鬱的氛圍，體現漢斯利克所描述的愉悅感。
