The three Scherzi for piano
Product Details
Description
Franz Schubert's scherzos were right at the beginning of a development that, in the course of the 19th century, resulted in the separation of the scherzo from the sonata and its emancipation as an independent piano piece. These traces become apparent in the three pieces compiled in this volume: the two popular Scherzos in B flat major and D flat major (D 593) and the Scherzo in D major (D 570) which has survived, together with an allegro fragment, in the composer's autograph. With its pleasantly flowing melody, its typically Schubertian harmony and the modest technical demands, this piece might soon outrank its well-known sister work in B flat major.

Standard works of music literature in the original text
The Wiener Urtext Edition is a scientific critical edition for prac-tice and differs from other editions declared as "original text" in that it contains extensive textual informa-tion in German and English (partly French):
Its preface informs about the work, its genesis and significance for the history of music, about written records and problems of the wording of the text as well as about the respective method applied for editing. Despite their necessary briefness, the critical annotations clearly account for editorial decisions and mention textual divergence going back to the author himself. The music text itself was produced on the basis of an exact checking of all sources by experienced musico-logists. Autographs, first editions, copies and patterns for engravings were used.
In some cases, these materials were analysed completely for the first time. Editions for teaching, studies, concert practice, including comprehensive information about the works by detailed introductions and editorial notes and notes on interpretation. Prepared for practice by interpreters resp. educationalists of international repute.
