Wiener Urtext Edition From Bach To Schoenberg - 200 Years Of Piano Music

Summary of this Score

From Bach to Schoenberg - 200 Years of Piano Music is an anthology of piano repertoire, created in collaboration with the European Institute for Piano Pedagogy. It brings together compositions spanning two centuries of musical history, allowing the pianist to naturally transition from the counterpoint and stylistic clarity of Bach to the more modern aesthetics leading to Schönberg. The objective is clearly pedagogical, while remaining anchored in the concert repertoire: thus, you have ideal material to build a solid musical progression from the earliest semesters of study.

The selection juxtaposes essential pieces and less expected works, aiming to develop both repertoire culture and artistic curiosity. The volume is not limited to "standards": it also offers more original works, such as Louis Moreau's "Le Bananier," which bring a different color to daily practice. This diversity encourages listening, analysis, and adaptation of touch according to styles: singing tone, rhythmic precision, management of articulations, dynamics, and phrasing.

Thanks to its wide aesthetic palette, this score is suitable both for study and for preparing audition programs. It allows the exploration of contrasting writings, from structurally classical pieces to more syncopated styles like ragtime, while maintaining a coherent progression. Compiled and annotated by Nils Franke, the anthology guides the pianist in choosing a relevant, musical, and formative repertoire, with particular attention paid to interpretation and understanding of the text.
