BARENREITER SCHUBERT Allegro In A Minor Op.post.144 D 947 "lebenssturme"

The Fantasia in F minor op. 103 - D 940 which was completed in April 1828, the last year of Schubert's life, was followed in May by the equally popular Allegro in A minor op. post. 144 - D 947 and in June by the Rondo in A major op. 107 - D 951. Schubert scholars assume that these works could have been movements of a third, unfinished sonata for four hands. Orchestral effects were a particular characteristic of Schubert's works for piano duet from the very beginning. It was most probably in the first edition published by Diabelli & Co. in 1840 that the Allegro in A minor was given the title “Lebensstürme” and the subtitle “Characteristisches Allegro”. This Urtext edition is based on the definitive musical text of the “New Schubert Edition”. An informative Foreword and valuable notes on performance practice in Schubert's day (including articulation, use of pedal, ornamentation) with a special focus on Schubert's characteristic notation of > accents of different lengths provide an insightful introduction to the Allegro. The new edition is published in a reader-friendly landscape format with separate primo and secondo parts and practical page turns. - Published on the basis of the “New Schubert Edition” - In a reader-friendly landscape format with separate primo and secondo parts and practical page turns - With informative notes on performance practice in Schubert's day (Ger/Eng), especially on Schubert's notation of accents, as well as interpretationally relevant readings in the Critical Commentary (Eng) Edition no.: BA10886 ISMN: 9790006578856 Volume / Series: BÄRENREITER URTEXT Editor: Litschauer, Walburga Instrumentation of the work: Piano Language(s) of text: German, English Product format: Performance score, Urtext edition Instrumentation: Piano Binding: Stapled Pages / Format: XXII, 29 S. - 24,0 x 30,5 cm
