F. Schubert - 20 Ländler for piano duet (arr. J. Brahms) - Piano Duo ShinPark

Franz Schubert (1797-1828) 20 Ländler D 366 / 1-16 (orig. 2ms / 2hds) D 814 / 1-4 Edited by Johannes Brahms Johannes Brahms's admiration for Franz Schubert and his work dated back to his student years in Hamburg, 1843 - 1853. His music teacher there, Eduard Marxsen (1806 – 1887), had studied in Vienna from 1830 to 1833 with Ignaz von Seyfried, a Mozart Pupil. Seyfried had in all probability also known Schubert, for he was his first biographer. Marxsen in turn gained an intimate knowledge of Vienna's musical life at Schubert's time. He passed this on to his piano and composition pupil Brahms, a circumstance which prompted Brahms to go to Vienna in 1862, though what he had heard from Clara Schumann will certainly have been just as decisive. Brahms felt comfortable in Vienna right from the start. In a letter to his friend Adolf Schubring (1863) he wrote, "Contrary to expectations I have spent the whole winter here quite enjoyable and merrily, and I now regret that I did not know Vienna sooner. The fair city, the lovely environs, the interested, lively public - what a stimulus it all is for an artist! And even more, the sacred remembrance of great musicians, of whose lives and work we are constantly reminded. Schubert in particular, about whom one has the feeling that he is still alive. One meets more and more people who talk about him as though he were a close acquaintance, and one sees more and more works which one didn't even know existed." Brahms was soon in close touch with the Schubert circle, with people who had known Schubert themselves, and he was still a young man when he began collecting Schubert compositions in copies, printed editions and autographs. As he told his publisher Rieter-Biedermann, "I owe my happiest hours to unpublished pieces by Schubert, of which I have a large number of manuscripts at home.... A whole stack of unpublished things was sold here recently at an incredibly low price, and luckily the Society [i.e. the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde] acquired it all. How many things are scattered here and there, owned by people who either guard their treasures like dragons or allow them to disappear without a thought." In addition to studying these compositions, Brahms edited and arranged music by Franz Schubert. The Viennese publisher Johann Peter Gotthard (recte Bohumil Pazdirek, 1839-1919) a friend of Brahms's who shared his enthusiasm for Schubert, brought out a series of Schubert works in posthumous first editions, among them the Arpeggione Sonata in A minor, D 821 (1824) and the present 20 Ländlers arranged by Johannes Brahms; they appeared in 1869. Later Brahms also did editorial work on the Schubert Complete Edition. This delightful set of 20 Ländlers, 16 of which Brahms arranged for piano duet; together with four set by Schubert for piano four hands, they were first published by J. P. Gotthard. A final excerpt from a Brahms letter (June 1863): "My love for Schubert is very serious, probably because it is not a fleeting passion. Where is there a genius like his, which so boldly and confidently soars up to heaven, where we see the chosen few enthroned." 06.
