Christian Köhn is a pianist with a deep understanding of BrahmsÂ' piano music. Now he has edited a new Urtext edition of BrahmsÂ' variations (1861) on an eight-bar theme from HandelÂ's Â"Keyboard Suite No. 1Â" (Â"Suite de pièces de ClavecinÂ", 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 workÂ's genesis and sources while presenting valuable information on contemporary performance practice. This scholarly-critical edition of the Â"Handel VariationsÂ" adds a central work to BärenreiterÂ's comprehensive series of BrahmsÂ' piano music in Urtext editions.
