Carl Fischer Three Piano Works (Op. Posthumous) - Webern/Shaftel - Book

A Critical Edition Edited with an Introductory Essay by Matthew Shaftel

Composer: Anton Webern
Editor: Matthew R. Shaftel
Format: Book
Instrumentation: Piano Unaccompanied
Level: Intermediate/Advanced

Matthew Shaftel has assembled a well-researched critical edition of select Webern piano works, which together speak volumes of the composer's compositional growth over his early years. Satz and Rondo represent the Romanticism which framed Webern's writing, even while he studied with Schoenberg, while the short Kinderstuck is the first of his dodecaphonic (twelve-tone) works, a relatively simple piece for children. Shaftel includes a thorough discussion of the three pieces, along with complete critical notes about the edition. For intermediate to advanced pianists.
