Overview

This score presents Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach's Rondo in B minor, an exquisite example of the composer's pioneering keyboard style. Published by Editio Musica Budapest (EMB), this edition features the classic editorial work of the celebrated 19th-century pianist and conductor, Hans von Bülow.

The B minor Rondo is a quintessential piece from the Empfindsamkeit (sensitive style), characterized by highly expressive, often melancholic melodies, dramatic dynamic shifts, and surprising harmonic turns that deviate sharply from the strict counterpoint of the preceding Baroque era. Though listed as "Baroque" for cataloging purposes, this work is crucial for studying the transition to the Classical period. It offers intermediate to advanced pianists a concise yet profound exploration of C. P. E. Bach's influential emotional language.

Product Features

• Influential Rondo Form: A single, self-contained keyboard movement showcasing the expressive freedom of the composer's style.
• Masterful Editing: Edited by the influential pedagogue and virtuoso Hans von Bülow, providing valuable historical fingering and performance suggestions (though modern teachers may offer alternatives).
• Transitional Repertoire: Ideal for students bridging the gap between Bach (J. S.) and Haydn/Mozart.
• Concert Format: Printed in the large K/4 size (23.5 x 31 cm) for excellent readability during performance.
• Concise Length: A highly efficient piece of literature, contained within just 4 pages.

Interesting Facts

• The Composer's Style: C. P. E. Bach was the chief proponent of the Empfindsamer Stil. His keyboard music, which often favors the clavichord or early fortepiano over the harpsichord, emphasizes sentiment, sudden mood changes, and broken arpeggios, making this Rondo an emotional journey for the performer.
• Hans von Bülow's Role: Hans von Bülow (1830–1894) was one of the most brilliant musicians of the Romantic era, known for premiering works by Wagner and Brahms. His editorial choices reflect the Romantic view of C. P. E. Bach, helping to keep this music popular well into the 20th century.
• The B minor Key: The key of B minor often carried tragic or deeply serious connotations in the music of this period, fitting the melancholic nature of the Empfindsamkeit.

Hungarian Translation (Magyar Fordítás)

Áttekintés

Ez a kotta Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach h-moll rondóját tartalmazza, amely a zeneszerző úttörő billentyűs stílusának kiváló példája. Az Editio Musica Budapest (EMB) által kiadott kiadvány a neves 19. századi zongoraművész és karmester, Hans von Bülow klasszikus szerkesztői munkáját tartalmazza.

A h-moll rondó a Empfindsamkeit (érzelmes stílus) alapvető darabja, amelyet rendkívül kifejező, gyakran melankolikus dallamok, drámai dinamikai váltások és meglepő harmóniai fordulatok jellemeznek. Bár a katalogizálás szempontjából "barokk" korszakba sorolható, ez a mű kulcsfontosságú a klasszikus korra való átmenet tanulmányozásához.

Érdekességek

• A zeneszerző stílusa: C. P. E. Bach volt az Empfindsamer Stil (érzelmes stílus) fő képviselője. Billentyűs zenéje hangsúlyozza az érzést, a hirtelen hangulatváltozásokat és a törött arpeggiókat.
• Hans von Bülow szerepe: Hans von Bülow (1830–1894) a romantikus korszak egyik legbriliánsabb zenésze volt. Szerkesztői döntései tükrözik a C. P. E. Bachról alkotott romantikus nézetet.
• H-moll hangnem: A h-moll hangnem gyakran tragikus vagy mélyen komoly felhangot hordozott az e korszak zenéjében, illeszkedve az Empfindsamkeit melankolikus jellegéhez.
