Each in its way is meant as the composers' exploration of the technique of the piano, inspired by Paganini's violin virtuosity, to extend what was possible on their own instrument. Brahms's Variations were also inspired by visits he had with the virtuoso pianist Karl Tausig, a Liszt pupil. Evelyne Brancart, a Belgian pianist, solves all the technical problems and manages to make poetic music. The disc may be short (47:40), but it is also a bargain.

BEETHOVEN'S PIANO SONATAS SONATA N0. 13, OP. 27/1 ON ITS MUSICAL CONTENT Here, we want to 'remedy' the fact of this sonata's leading somewhat of a shadow existence, in our creation history. In our look at the musical content of this sonata we follow the pattern indicated in our introductory comments on music criticism offered here. This pattern offers you comments in the following sequence: MUSCIOLOGISTS AND BEETHOVEN RESEARCHERS ACTIVE MUSIC CRITICS ACTIVE, PERFORMING ARTISTS Each category can be directly accessed by clicking on the above links. Therefore, if you prefer one kind of comment(s) over another, you can make your own selection. MUSCOLOGISTS AND BEETHOVEN RESEARCHERS Maynard Solomon comments on the importance of Op. 27, as follows: "The Sonata, op. 26, initiates this development with its opening Andante con variazioni movement, but fails thereafter to pursue its architectural implications; it remained for the opus 27 Sonatas to bring it to fruition. Each work begins with a slow introductory movement which has the character of a dreamlike improvisation, followed by a scherzo interlude (and, in opus 27 no. 1, a lyrical Adagio movement); and each closes with a climactic fast movement" (p. 105-106). Also Barry Cooper discusses the role of these two sonatas: "In his next two sonatas, Op. 27, Beethoven moved even further from the conventional sonata patternso far, in fact, that he labelled each of them 'Sonata quasi una Fantasia'. The first is based on the conventional four-movement structure, but the movements are to be played without a break, and the first movement inserts an Allegro in C between two Andante sections in E flat. The third movement, an expressive Adagio, is somewhat short, and part of it reappears just before the end of the finalea device reminiscent of the recall of 'La Malinconia' in the finale of the Quartet, Op. 18 No. 6" (p. 107).

SOLO PIANISTS "Artur, you will never be a pianist. You are a musician." These prophetic words were uttered by the legendary early 20th century teacher, Theodor Leschetizky, to his young student, Artur Schnabel. "In later years, Schnabel took special delight in repeating Leschetizky's prophecy as a paradox, because he himself could never make any distinction between pianist and musician, even for his pupils. And, in his own case, the musician and the pianist were completely fused - though the pianist remained always the servant of the musician."* Artur Schnabel: a biography.

This Week in History Edwin Fischer Edwin Fischer in the news Edwin Fischer October 6 January 24 ) was a Swiss classical pianist and conductor . He is widely regarded as one of the great pianists of the 20th century , particularly in the traditional Germanic repertoire of such composers as Johann Sebastian Bach Ludwig van Beethoven and Franz Schubert . He is also regarded as one of the finest piano teachers of modern times. Fischer was born in Basel and studied music first there, and later in Berlin. He first came to prominence as a pianist following World War I . In 1926 he became conductor of the Lübeck Musikverein and later conducted in Munich. In 1932 he formed his own chamber orchestra, and was one of the first to be interested in presenting music of the baroque in an historically accurate way. Though his performances were not particularly historically accurate when compared to similar performances today, he did conduct concerto s by the likes of Bach and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart from the keyboard, which at the time was most unusual.

The Teri Noel Towe - Producer of Historical Reissues on Compact Discs Page at the Teri Noel Towe Home Pages Teri Noel Towe Producer of Historical Reissues on Compact Discs "What would happen if, in order to reconstruct, say, the performance practice of Beethoven's day, we were to start not from modern style but from the style preserved on early gramophone records? . . . . our conjectures would be quite different if we were living in the 1920s instead of the 1980s. Similarly 18th- and 19th-century descriptions of tempo rubato make a very different sort of sense if we take early, rather than late, 20th-century style as the starting point for comparison. My own very strong suspicion is that many of the habits preserved in early gramophone records had their origins at least as far back as Beethoven, and in some cases earlier. This is something to argue about, but one central point is indisputable: the styles of the early 20th century did not arise overnight. For this reason, if for no other, it is time for historically minded performers to start considering the implications of early gramophone records." Robert Philip "

Fischer's rare interpretive insights can best be heard in his exalted slow movement of Brahms's Sonata No. 3, earning appreciative applause from the knowledgeable audience. The set includes inevitable finger slips and wrong notes, inconsequential byproducts of his striving for artistic integrity. More important, his unerring sense of tempo conveys the heart of the music. Slow movements are soulful but liquid. Drama is always present, allied to a gorgeous tone. His reputation for seriousness doesn't prevent a romp through the Rondo of Beethoven's Concerto No. 1 or the beautifully phrased, long-breathed lyricism of the Romance movement of Mozart's 20th Concerto. Appropriately, since Fischer was an outstanding Bach interpreter, there's a lot of Bach here, including a Brandenburg Concerto No. 5

EDWIN FISCHER Public Performances and Broadcasts, 1943-1953 The program essay by Farhan Malik that accompanies these six discs (for the price of four) states straightaway that "the 1880s saw the birth of three pianists who were to become indelibly associated with the core German piano literature: Wilhelm Backhaus (1882), Artur Schnabel (1884) and Edwin Fischer, who was born in Basel [Switzerland] on 6 October 1886." No mention, though, of their stellar colleague, Artur Rubinstein seven months older than Fischer - who was one of of the great"Chopianists" of all time, yet played much of the same repertoire, often as well and sometimes better. The lone exception in his case was Bach der Vater, but then neither Backhaus nor Schnabel were Bach-specialists. The Cantor of Leipzig was Fischer's specialty, both as a pianist and as a conductor, here of the Lausanne Chamber Orchestra. But this is 19th-century Bach, be cautioned, on a grand piano, recurringly with a heavy touch and sometimes a sobriety verging on didacticism. Fischer also led the Berlin Philharmonic in a 1943 performance of Beethoven's C major Concerto (officially No. 1, actually No. 2) but disfigured it with his outrÈ After the war, on a distinguished but short-lived series of HMV LPs issued in the U.S. by RCA, Fischer was soloist in a powerfully solemn "Emperor" Concerto with Furtw”ngler and the Philharmonia Orchestra, as well as soloist on two LPs of Mozart Concertos conducting "his" orchestra: Nos, 17, 20, 22, 24 and 25.

Music Home BWV.552 Korean Johann Sebastian Bach's work transcripted by Ferruccio Busoni 1. On Busoni's transciptions for piano Left photo ] Busoni( Photo from Hyperion CDA 66566 Ferruccio Dante Michelangiolo Benvenuto Busoni(1866 was famous pianist and composer in his comtemporary. He published Bach's works by his transcription at Breitkopf und Härtel from 1888(at 22 years old) to 1920 for more than 30 years, which was task of his total life. He transcripted Bach's spirit to piano. If we judge him now, it's obvious that he reflected the romantic years when he had lived. But pianists have to watch how he traslated idioms of cembalo, organ, and even violin to piano. I think his translation of Chaconne(BWV.1004-5) and organ works have to be noticable. The former explicited Bach's various polyphonic lines, so Hugo Leichtentritt(famous musicologist and his first biographer) even said "It's easier to analyse this work with Busoni's transcription". And the latter used pedal very audaciously and delicately, which are indispensable to playing organ works by piano. Busoni said ; ...not believe in the legendary tradition, that Bach must be played without the pedal. While the pedal is sometimes necessary in Bach's piano works, it is absolutely essential in transcribed organ pieces... Consider, that the mixtures opened with the full organ contain the 5th and octave, or even the 3rd and 7th, of every tone struck. An approximate imitation of these tone-blendings can be obtained, on the piano, only by using the pedal.
