Mit Hinweisen zur Aufführungspraxis von Mario Aschauer

This small virtuoso rondo with jazz elements from 2003 is now published for the first time in a sheet music edition.

For piano, score 8 pages. Listen to the audio sample for an immediate impression of how this piece sounds. Restless peace or peaceful unrest - isn't that at the heart of everything we feel but rarely...

As an avowed Schubert fan, Franz Liszt also liked to play transcriptions of Schubert’s songs in his piano recitals. He initially had an arrangement of the "Trout" by Stephen Heller in his repertoire,...

Bach's death meant that the Art of Fugue was left unfinished. In his father's manuscript Carl Philipp Emanuel noted exactly where the last fugue of the Art of Fugue broke off: 'While working on this f...

The 'Goldberg' Variations are without a doubt the most important piano cycle of the 18th century. Only Beethoven's 'Diabelli' Variations from the 19th century can be compared to them as far their far-...

Fingering: Marc-André Hamelin Between 1914 and 1917, Sergei Rachmaninoff published two volumes of Études-Tableaux - a term coined by the composer with which he succeeded in expressing the blend of tec...

Johannes Brahms's piano sonatas opp. 1, 2 and 5 were among the first works that the then 20-year-old composer published. Much of the music of the f-minor Sonata is closely connected to Brahms's visit...

With these three studies Bartók quite deliberately aimed to leave his mark on New Music in 1918. The first study is a kind of super-charged, motorically vehement Allegro barbaro, while the second, wit...

Schumann began work on the Toccata op. 7 when he was only 20 years old. At the time he was studying law, following his family's wishes. He did not, however, intend to have his first manuscript, entitl...

A secret engagement, a composer as prospective father-in-law and several rival publishing houses - it was against this backdrop that the work was composed. His youthful and passionate love for Ernesti...

We know that Brahms took an active interest in Baroque music throughout his life. It can thus hardly be by chance that he chose a theme from one of Handel's harpsichord suites for his 25 variations. T...

Franz Liszt not only wrote a series of opera paraphrases during his virtuoso years, but also composed some in his Weimar years from 1848 onwards. He did not, however, write them for himself but for th...

Following Schumann's fi rst, evidently unsuccessful attempt at composing a 'Sonata' - he only had the opening movement published under the title 'Allegro in b minor' - he tried once again in 1833. It...

Beethoven once reported that he had written down his three last piano sonatas (op. 109, 110, 111) in 1820 to 1822 in one go, and they certainly form a closely related group. Beethoven dedicated his ve...

Liszt's most important piano work was written in 1853, during a time of great compositional productivity and at the same time as the Ballade in B minor. It has something in common with the latter work...
