In a piano transcription by Glenn Gould. Composed by Richard Wagner. Arranged by Glenn Herbert Gould. This edition: Sheet music. The Virtuoso Piano Transcription Series. Score. Op. 5. Duration 24 minutes. Schott Music - Digital #Q5939. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q5939).
Glenn Gould’s transcriptions of the Siegfried Idyll, Morning Mist and Siegfried’s Journey along the Rhine from Richard Wagner’s Ring of the Nibelungen are already legendary as recordings. The Siegfried Idyll is here published for the first time as a musical score. The rich ornamentation, developed from a short triplet motif, and the sometimes contrapuntal waves of increasing intensity inspired Gould the Bach-lover to produce a piano version of great clarity and full of atmosphere. This publication continues the Gould edition published exclusively by Schott Music International which already features the volumes Piano Pieces (ED 8319) and Piano Sonata (ED 9542).
Bereits als Schallplatten legendär sind Glenn Goulds Transkriptionen von Siegfried-Idyll, Morgendämmerung und Siegfrieds Rheinfahrt aus Richard Wagners Ring des Nibelungen. Die reiche, aus einem kurzen Triolenmotiv entwickelte Ornamentik des Siegfried-Idyll und die teils kontrapunktischen Steigerungswellen inspirierten den Bachliebhaber Gould zu einer ebenso durchsichtigen wie stimmungsvollen Klavierfassung.
