Franz Schubert : Works for Piano Four-hands, Volume I

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

Description:

No other great composer has left so many works for piano four-hands as Franz Schubert – altogether 54 (32 of these with opus number): fantasies, dances, marches, variations, rondos, sonatas etc. Playing music together, often in a social circle, was a precious pastime of Schubert's circle of friends. The young composer provided the musical background for these rousing concerts and exuberant performances. The pieces are chronologically arranged in the three Henle Urtext volumes showcasing Schubert's piano duets. Volume I contains three very early pieces from the years 1810 to 1813; the other works stem predominantly from the greater part of the year 1818, and which include the splendid Grande Sonate in B flat major D 617. The final section is comprised of two pieces from works that are chronologically difficult to situate and to lay down an exact time of origin; one of these, Allegro Moderato und Andante, D 968, was occasionally also designated as “Sonatine” and was written most probably for instructional purposes. This G. Henle Urtext edition is edited by Willi Kahl.

Product Features:

• Comprehensive Collection: This volume is the first of three volumes collecting all of Schubert's extensive original works for piano four-hands.
• Chronological Arrangement: The pieces are arranged chronologically, allowing performers to trace Schubert's development in the genre.
• Early Works Highlighted: Includes very early pieces from 1810–1813 and works from the major composition year of 1818, such as the Grande Sonate in B flat major D 617.
• Authoritative Urtext Edition: The score is based on reliable source evaluation, ensuring scholarly accuracy.

Performance Tips:

These early Schubert duets, often written for social music-making, require a lyrical, flowing style and a highly collaborative approach. The performers should focus on achieving a beautiful, unified tone and sensitive phrasing, even in the technically easier sections. The pieces offer an excellent opportunity to explore Schubert's concept of time and lyrical melody, demanding a sense of grace and charm rather than pure virtuosity.

弗朗茨・舒伯特 : 鋼琴四手聯彈作品集，第一冊

鋼琴四手聯彈（單鋼琴）– 浪漫時期

簡介:

沒有其他偉大作曲家留下像弗朗茨・舒伯特（Franz Schubert）一樣多的鋼琴四手聯彈作品——總共54首（其中32首帶有作品號）：幻想曲、舞曲、進行曲、變奏曲、迴旋曲、奏鳴曲等等。在舒伯特的朋友圈子中，一起演奏音樂是一種珍貴的消遣。這位年輕的作曲家為這些熱鬧的音樂會和狂歡的表演提供了音樂背景。亨樂出版的這三卷舒伯特鋼琴二重奏作品，是按時間順序排列的。第一冊收錄了三首非常早期的作品（1810年至1813年），其餘作品主要來自1818年的大部分時間，其中包括輝煌的降B大調大奏鳴曲 D 617。最後部分包含兩首創作時間難以確定的作品，其中一首《中庸的快板與行板》（Allegro Moderato und Andante, D 968），有時也被指定為「小奏鳴曲」，很可能是為教學目的而作。這份G. Henle原典版由維利·卡爾（Willi Kahl）編訂。

產品特點:

• 全面的曲集: 本冊是舒伯特所有原創鋼琴四手聯彈作品三卷集中的第一卷。
• 按年代編排: 曲目按時間順序排列，使演奏者能夠追溯舒伯特在該體裁中的發展軌跡。
• 早期作品的亮點: 包含1810年至1813年的早期作品，以及1818年的重要作品，如降B大調大奏鳴曲 D 617。
• 權威原典版: 樂譜基於可靠的原始資料評估，確保了學術準確性。

演奏提示:

這些早期的舒伯特二重奏作品多為社交音樂而作，要求抒情、流暢的風格和高度的協作性。演奏者應著重於達成優美、統一的音色和敏感的分句處理，即使在技術上較為簡單的樂段也是如此。這些作品為探索舒伯特的「時間概念」和抒情旋律提供了絕佳的機會，要求的是一種優雅和魅力的感覺，而非純粹的炫技。
