Georg Friedrich Händel : Concerto en si mineur

Subtitle :

Réduction pour alto & piano

Introduction :

The 'Concerto in B minor' for Viola and Orchestra, attributed to Georg Friedrich Händel, is one of the most frequently performed works in the intermediate viola repertoire. Despite its attribution to Händel, musical scholarship has established that the concerto was actually composed in the early 20th century by the renowned violist and scholar Henri Casadesus (1879–1947), who presented it as a 'rediscovered' Baroque work. Regardless of its origins, the concerto is masterfully written in a convincing Baroque style, featuring noble melodic lines and brilliant technical passages. This edition, published by Max Eschig, presents the piano reduction arranged by Casadesus himself, providing an essential resource for students and performers.

Product Features :

Core Viola Repertoire: An indispensable work for intermediate to advanced violists, frequently used for conservatory entrance exams, auditions, and competitions.
Masterful Baroque Pastiche: Although composed by Casadesus, the work perfectly captures the majestic spirit and harmonic language of the late Baroque period, serving as an excellent stylistic study.
Optimized for the Viola: Written by a professional violist, the technical challenges—including shifting, string crossings, and double stops—are highly idiomatic and rewarding for the instrument.
Reliable Max Eschig Edition: This 16-page softcover edition provides a clear and authoritative score, maintaining the high standards of the French publisher since its 2001 publication.

Performance Tips :

Adopt a Noble Character: The first movement (Allegro moderato) should be played with a grand and steady pulse. Focus on a broad bow stroke and a rich, focused tone to reflect the 'Handelian' style.
Control the Lyrical Phrasing: The slow movement (Andante ma non troppo) requires deep emotional intensity. Use a varied vibrato and maintain the lyrical line across the wide interval leaps typical of this work.
Rhythmic Clarity in the Finale: The third movement (Allegro molto) is a lively gigue. Practice with a metronome to ensure the triplet rhythms remain crisp and light, emphasizing the dance-like character of the music.
Articulated Bowing: Focus on clean string crossings and clear articulations. Baroque-style music demands a transparent sound; avoid over-pedaling in the piano accompaniment to maintain this clarity.

About the Arranger / Composer :

Henri Casadesus (1879-1947) was a distinguished French violist and founder of the Société des Instruments Anciens. He is famously known for creating several 'Handel' and 'J.C. Bach' concertos which have since become staples of the viola pedagogical literature.

喬治·弗里德里希·韓德爾 : B小調中提琴協奏曲

副標題 :

中提琴與鋼琴縮譜版

內容簡介 :

這部歸於喬治·弗里德里希·韓德爾（Georg Friedrich Händel）名下的《B小調協奏曲》，是中提琴中級曲目中最常被演奏的作品之一。儘管傳統上標註為韓德爾所作，但音樂學界已證實，此曲實際上是由 20 世紀著名中提琴家兼學者 安利·卡薩德修斯（Henri Casadesus, 1879–1947）於 20 世紀初創作，並以「重新發現」的巴洛克作品之名面世。不論其真實起源為何，這部協奏曲以極具說服力的巴洛克風格寫就，擁有高貴的旋律線與精彩的技術樂段。這份由 Max Eschig 出版的版本，包含了由卡薩德修斯親自編寫的 鋼琴縮譜，是學生與演奏者的必備資源。

產品特點 :

核心中提琴曲目： 對於 中級至進階程度 的中提琴手來說，這是必練的經典作品，常用於音樂學院入學考試、甄試與比賽。
精湛的巴洛克仿作： 雖然由卡薩德修斯創作，但作品完美捕捉了巴洛克晚期的 莊嚴精神與和聲語言，是極佳的風格學習教材。
符合樂器特性的寫作： 由專業中提琴家所寫，技術挑戰（包括換把、換弦與雙音）非常 符合樂器特性且具演奏價值。
可靠的 Max Eschig 版本： 這份 16 頁的平裝版本提供清晰且具權威性的樂譜，維持了該法國出版社自 2001 年出版以來的優質標準。

演奏提示 :

展現高貴性格： 第一樂章（中庸的快板）應以 宏偉且穩定的脈動 演奏。專注於寬廣的運弓與豐富、集中的音色，以反映「韓德爾式」的風格。
控制抒情樂句： 慢板樂章（不過份的行板）需要深沉的情感強度。使用 多變的揉音 並在大幅度的音程跳躍中保持旋律線的連貫性。
終曲的節奏清晰度： 第三樂章（極快板）是一首活潑的吉格舞曲。請配合節拍器練習，確保 三連音節奏保持清脆輕巧，並強調節奏中的舞蹈性格。
清晰的發音： 專注於乾淨的換弦與清晰的發音。巴洛克風格的音樂要求 透明的音響；在鋼琴伴奏中避免過度使用踏板，以維持這種清晰感。

關於編訂者 / 實際作曲家 :
