[Henle Music
Facsimiles, 16]. Munich, 2004. 25 x
33 cm, 28, 142 pp. Beautiful full-color
facsimile of the autograph score composed during a two month period in
the summer of 1876.
The ms is both a fair copy and working copy, as the composer revisited
it several times,
first before its premiere in 1878, then before a performance in 1880
and then prior to its
publication in 1883. András Schiff considers it a wonderful
concerto with enomous warmth,
conceived in the noble tradition of Mozart, Beethoven, Schumann and
Brahms, but where the
piano is first among equals. The facsimile allows us to see the
composer’s original ideas,
which vary significantly from the version by Vilém Kurz usually
played since WW I, where the
piano is robbed of its distinctive voice and overburdened with Lisztian
gestures. Commentary
in Ger-Eng-Czech. Hardbound with red laid paper boards. $185
