Johannes Brahms : Waltzes, Op. 39

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

Description:

In spring 1865 Brahms surprised his friends and acquaintances with 16 little waltzes for piano four-hands. He informed his friend, the well-known critic Eduard Hanslick, that his thoughts while writing them had been “of Vienna and its pretty girls”—which is also how they sound—light, cheerful, one is tempted to say “Schubertian”. They still enjoy great popularity today, also for home music-making. This revised G. Henle Urtext edition offers the scholarly musical text based on the parallel volume of the New Brahms Complete Edition. This edition replaces the earlier HN 67. If you don’t happen to have a piano duet partner on hand, Brahms himself arranged these waltzes for piano solo (published by G. Henle Publishers as HN 1286 and HN 1287).

Product Features:

• Authentic Viennese Charm: These waltzes are light, cheerful, and full of the charm of 19th-century Vienna, perfect for enjoyable ensemble playing.
• Scholarly Urtext Edition: The score provides the scholarly musical text based on the New Brahms Complete Edition, ensuring the highest level of accuracy.
• Expert Fingering: Includes fingerings by Andreas Groethuysen, a renowned specialist for the four-hand repertoire.
• Versatile Repertoire: The pieces are excellent for both teaching and home music-making, with varying levels of difficulty within the collection.

Performance Tips:

The charm of these waltzes lies in their graceful, flowing tempo and gentle rhythmic emphasis on the first beat of each measure. The duo should focus on a light, non-percussive touch, aiming for a transparent and elegant sound that evokes Viennese charm. While the pieces are technically accessible, careful attention must be paid to balancing the primo and secondo parts to maintain the delicate texture. The flexibility and musical insight provided by the editor's fingerings are invaluable for achieving a cohesive performance.

約翰內斯・布拉姆斯 : 圓舞曲，作品39

鋼琴四手聯彈（單鋼琴）– 浪漫時期

簡介:

約翰內斯・布拉姆斯（Johannes Brahms）在1865年春天以這16首鋼琴四手聯彈小圓舞曲驚喜了他的朋友和熟人。他向他的朋友、著名樂評家愛德華·漢斯利克（Eduard Hanslick）透露，他在創作時想的是「維也納和那裡的美麗女孩們」—而這些作品的確聽起來輕快、歡樂，甚至讓人想說是「舒伯特式的」。它們至今仍深受大眾喜愛，特別適合家庭演奏。這份修訂版的G. Henle原典版，依循新《布拉姆斯作品全集》的對應卷本，提供了學術性的音樂文本。如果找不到連彈夥伴，布拉姆斯本人也為這些圓舞曲作了鋼琴獨奏的改編（由G. Henle出版社出版，HN 1286和HN 1287）。

產品特點:

• 地道的維也納魅力: 這些圓舞曲輕快、歡樂，充滿19世紀維也納的魅力，非常適合愉快的合奏。
• 學術性原典版: 樂譜依據新《布拉姆斯作品全集》的學術音樂文本編訂，確保了最高的準確性。
• 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（Andreas Groethuysen）提供的指法。
• 多功能曲目: 這些作品非常適合教學和家庭演奏，曲集內部的難度層次豐富。

演奏提示:

這些圓舞曲的魅力在於其優雅、流暢的速度以及對每小節第一拍的柔和節奏強調。二重奏者應專注於輕巧、非敲擊感的觸鍵，追求一種透明而優雅的音色，以喚起維也納的魅力。雖然這些曲子技術上較易於掌握，但必須仔細平衡主部和副部的音量，以維持精緻的織體。編者指法中提供的靈活性和音樂洞察力，對於達成協調一致的表演是無價的。
