Fanny Hensel : Easter Sonata for Piano

Introduction :

The 'Easter Sonata' (Ostersonate) for piano is a magnificent masterpiece by Fanny Hensel, composed in 1828. For nearly two centuries, this work was historically misattributed to her brother, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, and was even recorded under his name by Éric Heidsieck in 1972. It was not until 2010 that musicologist Angela Mace unequivocally restored the authorship to Fanny Hensel. This publication marks the first BÄRENREITER URTEXT edition of the sonata, meticulously edited by Marie Rolf (Emeritus Professor at the Eastman School of Music). Based on the original autograph manuscript now preserved in the Robert Owen Lehman Collection, this edition uncovers Fanny Hensel's profound musical voice, accompanied by an illuminating foreword on its dramatic rediscovery by Mendelssohn specialist R. Larry Todd.

Product Features :

First Ever Urtext Edition : Restores the composer's authentic intentions by referencing the long-inaccessible autograph manuscript. Scholarly Brilliance : Edited by Prof. Marie Rolf and featuring historical commentary from renowned expert R. Larry Todd. Performer-Friendly Layout : Beautifully engraved with a well-presented layout and practical page turns designed for fluid performance. Comprehensive Critical Commentary : Includes a detailed English critical report evaluating source readings and textual variants. Fascinating Narrative Structure : A compelling four-movement work that alternates between movements free from extra-musical considerations and those intricately bound to the narrative of Christ's crucifixion and resurrection.

Performance Tips :

1. Contrast the structural freedom of the first and third movements with the deeply expressive, narrative-driven textures of the second and fourth movements.
2. In the narrative movements, lean into the dramatic tension and resolution that portray the crucifixion and resurrection, utilizing a wide palette of romantic dynamics.
3. Study the historical foreword to appreciate the stylistic overlaps and distinct boundaries between Fanny's keyboard writing and that of her brother Felix.
4. Take advantage of the thoughtful page-turn layouts to maintain rhythmic continuity and emotional momentum during intense passages.

About the Composer :

Fanny Hensel (1805–1847), née Mendelssohn, was an exceptionally gifted German pianist and composer of the Romantic era. Despite the societal constraints of her time, she composed numerous works, with the 'Easter Sonata' standing as a testament to her grand structural ambition and brilliant keyboard virtuosity.

芬妮．韓賽爾 : 復活節奏鳴曲 (鋼琴獨奏譜)

簡介 :

這首創作於 1828 年的鋼琴奏鳴曲，在歷史上曾有一段曲折的過去。在 1972 年由鋼琴家 Éric Heidsieck 錄音發表時，它仍被誤認為是費利克斯．門德爾頌．巴托爾迪的作品。直到 2010 年（即創作後近兩百年），音樂學家安吉拉．梅斯（Angela Mace）才無庸置疑地證實這部傑作其實出自門德爾頌的姐姐——芬妮．韓賽爾 (Fanny Hensel) 之手。本版為此曲歷史上的首套 騎熊士原典系列 (BÄRENREITER URTEXT) 版本，由伊士曼音樂學院理論教授 馬莉．羅爾夫 (Marie Rolf) 精心編訂。本版直接源自曾長期由私人收藏、近代才首度公開並收錄於羅伯特．歐文．雷曼珍藏（Robert Owen Lehman Collection）的作曲家親筆原稿，全面還原了芬妮最真實、宏大的音樂願景。

產品特點 :

首度原典版發行 : 基於長期無法取得的親筆手稿精心編訂，還原作法最初、最權威的音樂意圖。大師級學術合作 : 由馬莉．羅爾夫教授主編，並附帶由著名門德爾頌研究權威賴瑞．托德（R. Larry Todd）撰寫的詳細歷史前言。友善演奏排版 : 具備寬闊舒適的現代刻譜與貼心的翻頁設計，極具現場演奏的實用價值。詳盡的批判性評論 : 附帶英文校勘報告，深入探討文獻來源與文本異同，滿足學術研究需求。獨特的敘事結構 : 全曲由四個樂章組成，第一與第三樂章為純音樂風格，第二與第四樂章則深刻交織著基督受難與復活的戲劇性敘事。

演奏提示 :

1. 完美拿捏樂章間的性格對比：第一與第三樂章相對純粹抽象，而第二與第四樂章則帶有強烈的標題音樂色彩，需表現出基督受難與復活的戲劇性張力。
2. 在敘事性樂章中，善用浪漫派豐富的音色與動態對比，將鋼琴的音響效果發揮至極，以描繪宏大的精神史詩。
3. 研讀歷史前言：理解芬妮與弟弟費利克斯在鋼琴寫作風格上的傳承與個人獨創邊界，有著助於做出更具時代感的詮釋。
4. 善用本版的實用翻頁設計，在快速、高難度的炫技段落中保持音樂律動與情感的連貫性。

作曲家介紹 :

芬妮．韓賽爾（Fanny Hensel，1805–1847，婚前姓門德爾頌）是浪漫主義時期極具天賦的德國女性鋼琴家與作曲家。儘管身處保守、限制女性發展的時代，她一生仍創作了豐富的作品。這首《復活節奏鳴曲》展現了她宏大的結構掌控力與精湛的鋼琴演奏技巧，是女性音樂史上的里程碑之作。
