Deshalb verwundert es, dass das Konzert bei seiner Uraufführung nur wenig gefallen hat. Denn als Tschaikowsky es seinem Freund und Lehrer Nikolai Rubinstein das erste Mal vorspielte, war dieser wenig begeistert und kritisierte es als "bruchstückhaft, unzusammenhängend und armselig komponiert". Erst mit Hans von Bülow, an den Tschaikowsky es anschließend schickte, hatte es den ersten Verehrer und bald großen Erfolg auf der Bühne gefunden. Bis heute ist es eines der meistgespielten Klavierkonzerte, und das zu Recht, vereint es doch immense Wucht mit zarten, lyrischen Melodien und einer atemberaubend schwierigen Klavierstimme.

This complete edition of the Mozart Sonatas for Keyboard and Violin has been researched and prepared by Cliff Eisen, one of the most distinguished Mozart scholars of our time.Professor Eisen recognises that many of the apparent inconsistencies and idiosyncrasies of Mozart's notation are perfectly deliberate, and that the attempts in many other editions to impose uniformity upon similar phrases or musical paragraphs can be misguided.As he writes in the preface: 'the notion that the classical style represents a model of symmetry, balanceand clarity is for the most part a 19th-century fiction. . .it has little to do with Mozart's actual practice, which is based primarily on variety of both content and articulation.So in this new edition, alternative readings found in parallel passages are preserved, rather than being sterilised by a spurious quest for conformity.Naturally all such instances are noted within the Critical Commentary. The highly individual beaming within Mozart's autographs is also respected in the new edition, as this often contributes to our aural perceptions of phrase structure and accent. Professor Eisen is conscious that there is no single 'Urtext' for this music. On the contrary he believes that 'there is compelling evidence that Mozart's later performances of his works were characterised by changes - sometimes substantial changes - in the musical text'.It is the achievement of this edition to indicate how far this freedom of musical expression can extend, andas such it is likely to take pride of place in the collections of all those involved in the study and performance of these masterpieces.

Schumann's Cello Concerto RediscoveredIn her first Urtext edition for Edition Peters, internationally renowned cellist Josephine Knight reveals Robert Schumann's original version of his Cello Concerto in A minor Op. 129 - a piece he actually called a 'Concertstück' - removing generations of inauthentic editorial interventions.

The story of the suppression of his Violin Concerto by well-meaning friends is relatively well-known. Few, however, know that the version of the Cello Concerto that is routinely heard today is so far from Schumann's original conception of the work - not only in details of phrasing and articulation, but also featuring a different ending with a bold final flourish from the cello. Composed in a burst of inspiration in two weeks in October 1850 shortly after he and Clara had moved to Düsseldorf, Schumann (who in 1850 was still in good health) never heard the piece performed. In an effort to promote a performance of the work, he gave the score to the cellist Robert Emil Bockmühl. Bockmühl made revisions that Schumann resisted, and the hoped-for performance never happened. Schumann's health failed and he died aged just 46 in 1856. The Concerto, in an already substantially revised form, was premiered in 1860 but it was not given significant recognition until it was championed by Pablo Casals in the 20th century by which time (and since) the text for the work had accreted additions and alterations from generations of soloists.Now Josephine Knight, Piatti Professor of Cello at the Royal Academy of Music, London has returned to the original 1850 manuscript of the work, which is in the Biblioteka Jagiellonska in Kraków, to reveal Schumann's original thoughts for the first time in a modern Urtext edition. The edition reflects Schumann's original conception of the work as a Concertstück and restores Schumann's musical text, free of posthumous interventions.'My ultimate wish, ' says the editor, 'is to give performers both access to, and confidence that they are playing from, an edition which is a true representation of the piece in its original form, no matter how much more difficult this might be. I found that incorporating the changes enabled the piece to take on a completely different character - one that is lighter and happier, even cheerful", as Schumann himself described the work.'"

Urtext Edition by Johannes FischerGo and read Shakespeare's Tempest." That was the advice Beethoven gave to his biographer, Anton Schindler, when asked about this work. Whether the nickname "Tempest" is justified or not, the outside movements are unquestionably propelled by a driving momentum."
