Summary of This Score
Following Alban Berg, Anton Webern becomes the second composer of the Vienna School to join the Henle catalogue with these Variations op. 27, a true concentration of modern writing. Known for its extreme conciseness and rigorous organization, this piano piece unfolds a palette of striking contrasts in a very short time, demanding from the performer a fine mastery of balance, dynamics, and articulation.
This edition, prepared by Ullrich Scheideler, is based on a thorough examination of sources to offer a revised musical text. It also highlights the complex genesis of the work and gathers performance annotations stemming from Webern's exchanges with several pianists. Thus, it provides references that are both precise and surprisingly expressive, useful for approaching Webern's language without losing its emotional dimension.
Considered a classic of 20th-century music, this score is aimed both at pianists curious to explore Viennese modernity and at seasoned performers seeking a clear and documented reference edition, in the tradition of the "Henle blue."
