Anton Bruckner: Symphony No.5 In B Flat

The nine symphonies composed by Anton Bruckner (1824-1896) constitute landmarks of the Austro-Germanic symphonic tradition. These staples of the orchestral literature possess a grandeur, nobility of vision, and originality that have survived despite extensive revision and unauthorized editing by other musicians. Moreover, the original versions of these works reveal a logical organization far greater than originally realised. Symphony No.5, one of Bruckner's finest orchestral works, was written in the late 1870s but not performed until 1894. Like the best of his earlier works, it features strikingly original harmonies, an extended structure and tonal range, and a gripping, monumental sonority. Based on the authoritative autograph score, this complete restoration of the composer's original design offers musicians and music lovers the chance to study the music as originally conceived.

Johannes Brahms: Piano Concertos Nos 1 And 2, With Orchestral Reduction For Second Piano

Ambitious in scale, highly original in both content and design, these popular works exhibit Brahms ’ mastery of the concerto and his role as heir to the classical tradition of Mozart and Beethoven. Both works are marked by drama, elegance, rich orchestral textures, and virtuoso writing for the soloist. Concerto No.1 in D Minor, Op. 15 , is a mighty work, featuring a theatrically powerful first movement, a tranquil adagio, and a spirited finale. Concerto No.2 in B-flat, Op. 83 , is a majestic piece that includes a notable departure from the classical tradition: the addition of a scherzo between the opening movement and the andante. Both works appear here in authoritative two-Piano editions, featuring the solo part together with an orchestral reduction for second Piano, the standard format for learning and practice. In addition, this volume offers pianists the convenience and economy of two major concertos in a single edition.

Extremely clear and readable, with ample space for notes, this Dover edition is a must for serious pianists, students and music lovers in general.
