Complete Shorter Works for Solo Piano

Book Summary

Johannes Brahms (1833-1897): Obras cortas para piano.

Editor: Eusebius Mandyczewski.

The entire corpus of Brahms' short piano pieces is contained in this volume: the delightful and familiar Waltzes; the effective Scherzo in E-flat Minor; the satisfying Eight Pieces; the two Rhapsodies; the Fantasies -among the most perfectly finished works Brahms ever wrote- the three Intermezzi; the Intermezzi, Ballade and Romance comprising Six Pieces; and the superlative Intermezzi and Rhapsody that make up the final Four Pieces.
The music is reproduced directly from the definitive Vienna Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde edition, edited by its renowned musicologist, Eusebius Mandyczewski, who made his revisions from original sources, often Brahms' own manuscripts. For this Dover edition, the Editor's Preface (Revisionsbericht) and the Table of Contents have been translated into English.
Noteheads have been reproduced in a size large enough to be read easily at the keyboard. Margins and spaces between staves are generous, permitting insertion of written notes, analysis, fingerings, running measure numbers, etc. This edition will be welcomed, not only by the classical pianist, but by an who will find it highly practical and convenient for instruction, study, reference, enjoyment, and virtually any other purpose.
Unabridged republication of Volume 14 ol the collection Johannes Brahms; Sämtliche Werke; Ausgabe der Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Wien (Breitkopf & Härtel). Translation into English of Revisionsbericht and Table of Contents made specially for this edition.
