Description:
The ANACROUSE collection offers novice and experienced pianists alike a wide choice of classical works, from the Renaissance to the modern era.
We have set ourselves the goal of offering both "must-haves" from the classical repertoire and pieces by sometimes forgotten composers, all of undeniable pedagogical value. Each piece, sold individually, has been the subject of careful editorial work, both in terms of the musical text and its engraving, in order to guarantee musicians the conditions indispensable to the pleasures derived from frequent trade in these works.
The scores are offered in the form of traditional works (paper sheets), and also available by download.
Opus 39 is composed of sixteen waltzes. The original version, published in 1865, was for four hands, but Brahms created a simplified version for two, published in 1867. The composer's sixteen exquisite waltzes are his only testimony to the Viennese tradition.
The writing of these waltzes is of great simplicity. Their structures are different from those of Strauss's Viennese waltzes. They have no slow introduction, no trio, no coda, but are more akin to a ländler in their sobriety. All are ABA waltzes, in which two thematic motifs are interwoven and interrelated.
Waltz no. 10 is characterized by its rhythmic simplicity, with alternating measures of six eighth notes and three quarter notes. In contrast to Waltz n°10, Waltz n°11 stands out for its rhythmic difficulty. The use of repetitive appoggiaturas and whimsical rhythms gives this waltz a gypsy feel.
These two waltzes in succession reveal a versatile aspect in their interpretation. Waltz No. 10 wanders quietly along the banks of the Danube until Waltz No. 11, where gypsy musicians exalt themselves on the banks.
A wave of sweetness and fantasy will envelop Viennese waltz pianists through these Brahms waltzes, which will ultimately leave them free to dance.
