With Robert Schumann’s Studies for Pedal Piano op. 56 an interesting, balanced and expressly melodious work has been handed down. However, it is a work for a type of piano which has never been able to establish itself in the musical mainstream. In Claude Debussy’s arrangement for two pianos he has created a stroke of genius in which the work is presented in a version using simple doubling or reduction of the parts and the use of two instruments which allows the canonic form to be rendered in stereophonic sound. As a result, the composition is enriched artistically and its concert performance is made accessible. Moreover, it offers the unique pedagogical possibility to explorephrasing and expressing through imitation for example between teacher and pupil. Debussy’s version is presented here for the first time in a corrected, new edition with fingerings and an informative explanatory texts.
