Variations and Fugue on a Theme by Handel for Piano op. 24
Critical Commentary

Description :

Christian Köhn is a pianist with a deep understanding of Brahms' piano music. Now he has edited a new Urtext edition of Brahms' variations (1861) on an eight-bar theme from Handel's "Keyboard Suite #1” ("Suite de pièces de Clavecin”, Vol. 2).
Köhn has drawn on every available source and incorporated the most recent musicological discoveries. With his fingering, a well-presented layout and optimum page turns, the volume meets all the demands of a practical performing edition.
A detailed foreword illuminates the work's genesis and sources while presenting valuable information on contemporary performance practice. This scholarly-critical edition of the "Handel Variations” adds a central work to Bärenreiter's comprehensive series of Brahms' piano music in Urtext editions.
