Description:
Brahms completed his Cello Sonata op. 99 in the summer of 1886, and the first public performance took place in Vienna on November 26 of the same year. Robert Hausmann played the cello part while Brahms himself played the piano. Although the work was largely well received, it was to take several years before its lasting value was recognized and it found its permanent place in the standard repertoire for cello.
Valuable to the publishers were two early practical editions of the Cello Sonata op. 99 by Hugo Becker and Carl Friedberg as well as Julius Klengel. Both cellists, Becker and Klengel, had a connection to Brahms, who admired and trusted Becker's playing and made chamber music with Klengel. The present edition includes not only practical performance notes by Becker and Klengel, but also those of Hausmann, for whom the sonata was written. With this in mind, the present Bärenreiter edition includes a cello part with fingerings and bowings based on the performance practice of Brahms' contemporaries. An unmarked Urtext part is also included.
An important component of the new edition is its extensive preface. On the one hand, it provides information about the work's genesis, first performances, publications and early reception. The notes on performance practice are particularly noteworthy. The editors start from the premise that just a few decades after Brahms' death, a gulf opened up between the composer's ideas and the performance practice of the early 20th century. In a very concrete and practical way, the editors summarize essential aspects for understanding Brahms' notation with regard to rhythm and tempo, dynamics and accents, dots and dashes, slurs and non-legato, pedal and finger pedal (piano), arpeggio and asynchrony (piano), string fingerings, harmonics and vibrato (strings). The edition thus provides a fascinating and often surprising insight into the performance practice of the Romantic period.
Under Multimedia you will find sound examples of the individual movements of the sonata from the CD Deux-Elles DXL1181
