Antonín Dvořák:
Waltzes, Op. 54 &
Mazurkas, Op. 56
edited by Klaus Döge
Schott
Dvořák’s waltzes and mazurkas prove to be a
successfully contrived balancing act between stylized
composition and musical immediacy. The music
critic Louis Ehlert once wrote of Dvořák’s Slavonic
Dances that they “made a real musician’s heart laugh within him.” The
comment might equally well be applied to these pieces. These waltzes and
mazurkas rank along side the best works of Chopin in terms of artistic merit,
yet they are not widely known and have not been heard as often in concert
halls as they deserve. The Urtext version of these dances is published for
the first time in this edition.

Baldassare Galuppi: New
9 Sonatas
Piano or Harpsichord
edited by Hugo Ruf
Schott
Baldassare Galuppi (1706-1785) received his first
music lessons from his father and later became a
pupil of the famous Antonio Lotti. His oeuvre first
and foremost includes operas and oratorios, but he
also wrote chamber music works, cantatas and works for piano. Although
well-known in his days and highly acclaimed by his contemporaries,
such as Christian Friedrich Daniel Schubart and Charles Burney, for
his compositional skills, he rather has to be classed among the forgotten
composers today. This new edition with 9 of his harpsichord sonatas
published in Nuremberg and London during Galuppi’s lifetime aims to put
things right.
