Bruch - Romance in F-dur op.85 for viola and piano

Romance F major op. 85 by Max Bruch for viola and orchestra. Piano reduction.

Editor : Norbert Gertsch.

Piano reduction: Max Bruch.
Fing. Va.: Jürgen Weber

A pearl in the romantic repertoire for viola and orchestra! Bruch’s “Romance” has long occupied a permanent place in the viola repertoire, whether in lessons or on the concert stage. This edition is the first to take every relevant source into account. Like the original print, it also presents the composer’s own easily playable piano reduction. As in many other viola works in the Henle's catalogue, fingering and bowing marks have been added by experienced violist Jürgen Weber. In 1911 Bruch also published an arrangement for violin and piano in parallel with his original version for viola. This new edition makes his arrangement available once again after a lapse of many years. A welcome addition to the violin repertoire!
