The full story

Description

Already before the publication of the clarinet and viola versions of his sonatas op. 120 Brahms intended to do another one for violin, a version which was to require changes and was to result in an independent edition. While the clarinet and viola versions have developed a rich performance tradition, the violin version is almost unknown. Yet for the violin version the composer revised the original clarinet part much more extensively than he did for the viola version and also rewrote the piano part to achieve a thoroughly convincing violin and piano idiom. This Barenreiter edition aims to bring the neglected violin sonatas op. 120 back into players' hands. An important part of these editions are the extensive prefaces. Firstly they inform about the sonatas' origins, their compositional process, pre-publication performances, their publication history as well as early reception. Truly remarkable are the unique Performance Practice Commentaries. Here the editors start from the premise that already a few decades after Brahms' death, a widening gulf developed between the composer's expectations and the performance practices of the early 20th century. On the basis of manifold sources which include memoirs by pupils and chamber music partners, treatises and essays, early instructive editions and historical recordings, the editors deal with key issues in understanding Brahms' notation. By a section-by-section analysis of rhythm and timing, dynamics and accentuation, dots and strokes, slurring and non legato, piano pedalling and overholding, piano arpeggiation and dislocation, string instrument fingering, string instrument harmonics and vibrato, the editors provide an indispensable assistance for a historically informed interpretation of the works. At the same time, the editions offer an exciting and often surprising insight into musical interpretation of the German Romantic Era in general.
