Georg Friedrich Händel: Piano Suites (London 1720)

Georg Friedrich Händel: Piano Suites (London 1720)

George Frideric Handel’s powerful musical personality reveals itself not only in the large forms of opera, oratorio, and orchestral suite, but also in his compositions for keyboard. The focus here is on the eight Suites of his first printed collection from 1720, which by no means comprise standardised sequences of dance movements. On the contrary -- free-form movements of great artistic weight predominate, inserting themselves between lighter dance pieces. Handel’s suites always display a distinctive individuality, and deserve a larger presence in our concert halls. We were able to engage Handel specialist Anthony Hicks as the editor of this Urtext edition.

Piano Sonata B flat major KV 333

Piano Sonata B flat major KV 333

The great pianist Paul Badura-Skoda counts the first movement of this B-flat major sonata K. 333 as “among the most beautiful … in the piano literature.” And who would want to contradict him? What a pyrotechnic display of wonderful and freely vibrant melodies in the first movement, artfully coupled with pianistic runs and flourishes! The sublime slow movement (“Andante cantabile”) could pass as the piano reduction of a string quartet, while the concluding “Allegretto grazioso” is like the jaunty but subtle dance finale from an opera buffa. As we know today, Mozart composed this miraculous sonata in 1783 previous Mozart scholarship missed the mark entirely with its muchearlier date. It appeared in print a year later, interestingly in combination with the (relatively) early piano sonata K. 284 and the grandiose violin sonata K. 454.

Violoncello Sonata A Major Op. 69

Violoncello Sonata A Major Op. 69

Of Beethoven's five cello sonatas, the Grande Sonate op. 69, published in 1809, is not only the centerpiece, but also musically the most significant. The artful coupling of the two instruments is on display from the outset in analmost programmatic manner, when the cello with its tenor timbre first intones a melody that the piano then continues. In this sonata, too, Beethoven dispenses with a slow movement while nevertheless compensating us with anenchanting Adagio cantabile introduction to the finale. The Urtext edition by Jens Dufner is based on his research for the Critical Report of the Beethoven Complete Edition and thus features a musical text at the highest scholarlylevel. In the preface and Critical Report, he outlines the genesis and source situation of the sonata. Ian Fountain and David Geringas provide the fingerings.
