 Hey, what's up everybody? Johannes Moser here. I'm extremely pleased to announce the Henle Verlag has just published the Richard Strauss Sonata for cello and piano with my fingerings And I'm super proud of that because I absolutely adore the sonata with its great dynamic opening movements with the almost mystical and tragic second movement and then the piece ends on the most joyous note in the finale and So it's almost a mystery to me how he could write this piece as a teenager but he had a really good partner in crime, Hannes Wihann. He wrote this piece for him and famously a couple of years later Antonin Dvorak wrote the cello concerto for Hannes Wihann and so I almost didn't change any of the bowings because I felt what Wihann and Strauss must have talked about is already very chelistical. What I did influence were the fingerings and I've played this piece many many times over the years and all this experience that I've gathered in the different recitals I've put into this edition and I went for the best sounding fingerings. I'm not a fan of sort of security fingerings I feel or I'm of the philosophy when you're on stage you go for the risk, you go for the sound and that's when you and the audience will have the most satisfying experience Now, if you absolutely dislike my fingerings, which you are absolutely entitled to Haenle offers you a blank part where you can put in your own fingerings, your own bowings and make your edition. So that's why I think this edition is really fantastic because on the one hand you get my ideas, but you are very free to do your own interpretation of the piece. Of course as always you can purchase this on the Haenle app as well so just log on to the app and download the parts with fingerings or without and the print is absolutely beautiful and I'm so proud of this edition and I hope you enjoy it too.
