Johannes Brahms compositions for one instrument and piano have been
standards in chamber music literature ever since their inception. These
works were written with specific performers in mind and Brahms worked
closely with them when refining the final texts. Nevertheless, we rarely
approach the music taking into consideration the possibilities of the
instruments for which Brahms wrote or the performing practices of the
individual players who first performed these compositions, including
Brahms himself.
Bärenreiters
pioneering new scholarly-critical editions of Brahms works for one
instrument and piano are edited by a team of musicologists who are also
performers. They offer todays musicians not just a reliable musical
text based on all known sources, but also a comprehensive approach to
the works, which aims to place them in their historical context and to
elucidate the complex of meanings that the composer wished his notation
to convey to performers.
In addition to the musical text these
editions offer an informative Introduction laying out the genesis,
publication history and reception of the works. At the same time there
is a complete list of the sources, an explanation of the editorial
procedures and a Critical Commentary. Also, each volume contains a
detailed discussion of specific performing practice issues raised by
individual works.
An integral part of Bärenreiters Brahms
publication complex is a text booklet which approaches general
performance practice issues of the 19th century with regard to e.g.
tempo, rubato, rhythmic flexibility and articulation. Furthermore
musicians will find valuable information concerning vibrato, portamento
and bowing. Last but not least characteristics of Brahms own piano
playing as well as that of his circle and contemporaries are discussed.
The
violin and viola sonata editions come not only with an Urtext part
freed from all editorial emendations, but also with an additional part
including fingering and bowing based on the practices of Joseph Joachim
and his colleagues. These markings especially draw on publications of
the sonatas edited by Joachims pupils Leopold Auer and Ossip Schnirlin
as well as those by Brahms associate Franz Kneisel.
