Breitkopf & Härtel is the longest-standing music publisher in the world, having first opened as a small Leipzig music printing shop in 1719. 2019 marked 300 years since the inception of the company, with its vast music-publishing catalogue continuing to make it a leader in its field.
Schubert's Arpeggione Sonata, a masterpiece in Breitkopf & Härtel's catalogue, underwent a meticulous revision, thoroughly examining all sources. The piece's originality lies in its unique solo instrument, the arpeggione, replaced by violin and violoncello in 1871. The revised version is a magnificent piece showcasing Schubert's exceptional talent.
Robert Schumann's Violoncello Concerto Opus 129 is a significant work of the romantic concerto repertoire. This edition is transcribed for violin and piano, with annotations by Schumann himself. It initially received negative feedback and was not premiered for years due to a lack of occasion and soloist. The Urtext edition is based on the original print of the parts, with Schumann personally supervising the piano reduction.
In March 1851, Robert Schumann composed Märchenbilder, a collection of four remarkable viola and piano pieces that took 16 minutes to perform. The pieces are dedicated to Wilhelm Joseph von Wasielewski, a German violinist and conductor.
MALINCONIA OP 20 is a composition by Finnish composer Jean Sibelius, written in 1900 to cope with the loss of his daughter Kirsti. The piece features a mournful cello and virtuoso piano that often flows into climatic cadenzas. It bears similarities to Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto in B minor, Op. 23.
Composer Giuseppe Tartini's piece, edited by Walter Heinz Bernstein, is a Baroque period work for solo instruments. The softcover edition, published by Breitkopf, makes it accessible to the viola da gamba, one of the more frequently played instruments. The piece comes with a piano reduction, spans 56 pages, and lasts for 15 minutes. The work is published under the code BR.EB-7430.
Wilhelm Friedemann Bach was a highly talented German composer and performer born in 1710. He composed Three Duets for Two Violas in Berlin around 1775, which inherited the contrapuntal style of his father and contributed significantly to Berlin's musical heritage. There is a cyclical connection among the duets, and Bach adapted the music to maintain harmonic and melodic balance between the two instruments.
