{"product_id":"henle-verlag-brahms-j-ballades-op-10-piano-392715","title":"Brahms J. - Ballades Op.10 - Piano","description":"\u003ch3\u003eSummary of This Score\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis edition gathers the four Ballades by Johannes Brahms, inspired by a literary imagination and the composer's taste for emotionally charged stories. The first ballade is based on \"Edward,\" a Scottish ballad transmitted through the folk song collection \"Stimmen der Völker in Liedern\" by J. G. Herder (\"Voices of the Peoples\"). Brahms confided to a friend that, under the impact of this melody, the ideas organized themselves spontaneously: a way of expressing how deeply the thematic material captivated and guided him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as romantic and dramatic pages, these ballades function as wordless stories: harmonic tensions, lyrical outbursts, darker atmospheres, and a narrative breathing from one episode to another. For Brahms, they are also connected to memories shared with Clara Schumann, an intimate dimension that enhances the expressive depth of the whole. Julius Grimm, the dedicatee of the pieces, even went so far as to affirm that \"the ballades actually belong to her,\" emphasizing the emotional and artistic bond surrounding this music.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRobert Schumann's enthusiasm for the work of his young colleague also illustrates the strength of these pages: a piano writing that is both dense and clear, where structure serves expression. To support the performer, this Urtext edition includes fingerings provided by the great pianist Lars Vogt, designed to clarify transitions, stabilize passages, and encourage natural playing. An ideal piano score for working on tone, voice leading, and phrasing intensity, while maintaining the pleasure of immediately expressive writing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:2;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMusical Genre\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eClassical\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eSheet music\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:1;--wb-r:4;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComposer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eJohannes Brahms\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstrumentation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003ePiano\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:2;--wb-r:5;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eLars Vogt (fingerings)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eClassical score\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:3;--wb-r:6;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eUrtext\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eEasy\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Henle Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54361441370387,"sku":"392715","price":13.7,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/a084e38b7a34bdefe3079e3ef814e3162f665f3a_HN935.jpg?v=1789408334","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/henle-verlag-brahms-j-ballades-op-10-piano-392715","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
