Ludwig van Beethoven
Concerto C major op. 56 for Piano, Violin, Violoncello and Orchestra (Triple Concerto)
In two private performances for Prince Lobkowitz in the spring of 1804, two new works by Beethoven were played for the first time: his Third Symphony op. 55 and the Triple Concerto op. 56 for piano, violin, cello and orchestra. The art-loving patron Lobkowitz was thus able to appraise two freshly composed works, and Beethoven was able to make many an improvement before publication. The first public performance of the Triple Concerto presumably took place only four years later in February 1808 in Leipzig’s Gewandhaus. Since then, this work has belonged to the standard repertoire of every symphony orchestra. The piano reduction of this Urtext edition is based on the score of the Beethoven Complete Edition, which was likewise made by Bernard van der Linde. The editor’s preface provides detailed information about the complicated source situation of this concerto for three soloists.

About the Composer

Ludwig van Beethoven
No composer has had as profound and sustained an influence on immediately following generations to the present day as Beethoven. His instrumental music, especially his symphonies, served as touchstones for symphonic composition throughout the nineteenth century. The extraordinarily high standard of his music and his relative independence as a freelance composer have led to his being characterized as the greatest composer of all time.

This excellent edition provides a welcome contribution to the performing editions available of this masterpiece.
ClavierThese recent publications by Henle are welcome new resource for performers. Henle's finely produced editions of the well known 'Emperor' Concerto and the 'Triple Concerto' are exemplary. Rehearsal figures, orchestrational cues and markings, and clear indications of tutti and solos combine with lucid presentation of the musical text. The Triple Concerto also includes separate parts for each soloist while the orchestral piano reduction is clearly set out alongside the piano trio. ... the scholarly introductions offer illuminating commentary about the historical background to each work. ... Some of the score annotations are directly connected with Beethoven's teaching, with comments from leading theorists and a transcription of the orchestral part for figured bass. ...
AriettaSe basant sur le texte de l’édition complète, G. Henle Verlag fait paraître les éditions pratiques des concertos pour piano selon une version pour deux pianos. La clarté, la lisibilité du texte musical, les changements de page respectueux des impératifs musicaux ainsi qu’une reliure adéquate (le volume ne présente pas l’inconvénient de se refermer immédiatement.) font de ces éditions de véritables partitions «pour la pratique», qui, à juste titre, se sont acquis la confiance des interprètes internationaux les plus renommés. L’adjonction à la fin de la réduction pour piano des cadences originales de Beethoven constitue un autre positif.
MUSONochmals: der Teufel steckt im Detail der Ausgaben, so daß ein Blick in diese Urtextausgabe sehr zu empfehlen ist.
