Winterreise Opus 89 High Voice

Auf dem Strom D 943 : Original Key for High Voice

The scoring of Schubert’s Auf dem Strom (On the River) for voice, horn and piano is reminiscent of that of the Hirt auf dem Felsen (Shepherd on the Rock, HN 969) with obligato clarinet. Both pieces were written in 1828 and each one upon a musician’s request – in this case that of the horn player Rudolf Lewy. Schubert gave the first performance of Auf dem Strom with the latter and the tenor Ludwig Tietze on 26 March 1828 in Vienna. It was such a success that it was soon performed again, and the press raved about it being an “indescribable treat for the ears”. This popular work is now available in a handy format for singers, with, of course, parts for horn in E as well as atransposition for horn in F.

W. A. Mozart: Divertimenti For Wind Sextet (Study Score)

Urtext edition study score for Mozart 's Divertimenti For Wind Sextet , for 2 Oboes, 2 Horns and 2 Bassoons. Mozart wrote the five Divertimenti for Wind Sextet between the years 1775 and 1777 when he was living in Salzburg. The Italian title is reminiscent of simple 'light' music, but the pieces’ melodic ingenuity and colourful writing for Winds show it to be chamber music of the highest quality.

Sonata for Violoncello and Piano Op. 2

This single-movement sonata for cello and piano, Evgeny Kissin’s Opus 2, evokes a sombre, melancholic ballad. The approximately ten-minute work from 2016 places high demands on both instrumentalists in its execution. Having rehearsed the sonata in close consultation with the composer and performed it, Steven Isserlis contributes fingerings and bowings in an additional cello part. A marvellous addition to the cello repertoire! This single-movement sonata for cello and piano, Evgeny Kissin’s Opus 2, evokes a sombre, melancholic ballad.

W. A. Mozart: Piano Pieces From The 'Nannerl Music Book'

Piano Pieces From The 'Nannerl Music Book' contains 17 pieces composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart when he was between five and eight years old. When W. A. Mozart 's sister Maria Anna Mozart, known as Nannerl, started receiving Piano lessons, her father gave her a music book in which he and others gradually wrote down little recital pieces. This book was soon passed on to her brother and, noticing his remarkable talent for composing, the children's father wrote down some of his son's first works in the book. This Henle Urtext edition is taken from the complete volume of Mozart’s Piano Pieces (HN22) and contains a new preface by the editor Ullrich Scheideler. The pieces in this volume are easy to play, making them ideal for beginners.

Violoncello Sonata A Major Op. 69

Of Beethoven's five cello sonatas, the Grande Sonate op. 69, published in 1809, is not only the centerpiece, but also musically the most significant. The artful coupling of the two instruments is on display from the outset in analmost programmatic manner, when the cello with its tenor timbre first intones a melody that the piano then continues. In this sonata, too, Beethoven dispenses with a slow movement while nevertheless compensating us with anenchanting Adagio cantabile introduction to the finale. The Urtext edition by Jens Dufner is based on his research for the Critical Report of the Beethoven Complete Edition and thus features a musical text at the highest scholarlylevel. In the preface and Critical Report, he outlines the genesis and source situation of the sonata. Ian Fountain and David Geringas provide the fingerings.

Wedding Day at Troldhaugen op. 65 no. 6 : Single Edition from HN 1136

With his 66 Lyric Pieces Edvard Grieg created a multifaceted treasury of piano miniatures and character pieces. Many have become piano classics, none more so than The Wedding at Troldhaugen, which Henle publishers offers here in a separate edition. In this boisterous piece Grieg recalls a glittering celebration at the Villa Troldhaugen on the occasion of his silver wedding, something which attracted hundreds of guests and well-wishers. The fingerings by Norwegian Grieg specialist Einar Steen-Nøkleberg will be of help in mastering the fairly high-level technical challenges of this piece.

Klaviertrio Nr. 2 c-moll Opus 66 : Piano Trio no. 2 in c minor op. 66

After the great success of his first Piano Trio in d minor op. 49, some five years passed before Mendelssohn set to work on a new composition for this formation. But then the c-minor Trio came into being in a relatively shortperiod in March/April 1845 and was published around a year later. Much more sombre in character than the sibling work, this second trio is also considered much more difficult in terms of technique (above all in the piano part).Thus, it has always stood somewhat in the shadow of the earlier trio. However, chamber music aficionados generally regard it as the more mature and challenging work in terms of compositional technique. The trio, taken from thevolume Mendelssohn · Piano Trios HN 957, is now available from Henle for the first time also as a practical single edition.

Concerto for Orchestra

With the “Concerto for Orchestra,” Henle inaugurates a series of affordable study scores based on the text of the Bartók Complete Edition. When Bartók received the commission to compose this piece from Serge Koussevitsky in May 1943, it meant not only financial support, but also an important creative impetus for the gravely ill composer. By October, the five-movement concerto, which Koussevitsky enthusiastically dubbed “the best orchestral work of the last 25 years,” was already complete. The first performances in the winter of 1944–45 were also very successful. Nevertheless, Bartók was moved to set down an alternate ending, which thecomposer, who passed away in September 1945, would never be destined to hear. Bartók specialist Klára Móricz includes both versions in her edition and summarises the history and transmission of the “Concerto for Orchestra” in a fascinating foreword. A brief commentary section provides information about the principles underlying the edition.

Le Carnaval des animaux

Written in March 1886 as a humorous occasional work for the traditional carnival concert organized by his cellist friend Charles-Joseph Lebouc, the Carnival of the Animals was so successful that Saint-Saëns banned performances and publication soon afterwards. He was worried that this “grand zoological fantasy” - consisting of 14 short individual pieces for eleven instruments - might overshadow his serious works. Yet only five months after the composer’s death, it appeared in print after all, beginning its worldwide victory march - in its original setting as well as in numerous arrangements. Thus, the Carnival did in fact arguably become the most popular work by this French composer and, owing to its musical originality, it is also a favourite in music lessons or for school orchestra performances. With this combination of a study edition and an edition in parts (for which additional parts for larger numbers of strings may be ordered), G. Henle Publishers now presents the perfect resource for such occasions.

Klavierquintett A-dur Opus 81 : Piano Quintet in A major op. 81

Very few really important works have been written for piano quintet alongside the famous works by Schubert, Schumann und Brahms, the quintet that Anton n Dvorák composed in 1887 certainly numbers amongst them. It shows the mature master at work, who knew how to combine formal unity with melodic ingenuity and sweeping rhythms. With its ethnic-inspired themes the piano quintet has become one of Dvorák’s best-loved chamber music works, indeed even of Romantic literature in music. So it was high time for a Henle Urtext edition 60 years after the Czech Complete Edition was published, it was time for a fresh look at the sources, including the autograph in the National Museum in Prague.

Spring Night From Song Cycle Op. 39 : Arrangement For Piano

Robert Schumann's Frühlingsnacht (Spring night) was one of his most popular songs even in the 19th century. Franz Liszt made a piano arrangement of it that in the space of under 70 measures emerges as a veritable concert piece. Itmakes high demands on the pianist's stamina, especially in its triplet chords. But this did not hinder its wide popularity. The first edition was published in 1872 and enjoyed many reprints during Liszt's lifetime. In 1895, thispiece was also republished in a newly engraved edition. With its abundant technical indications, assorted ossias and the incorporation of the text of the poem above the music, Liszt's arrangement makes the highest demands on amusic engraver - a challenge that this Henle Urtext edition is delighted to meet.

Symphony in D major Hob. I:104 SE : Symphony in D major Hob. I:104

The twelve London Symphonies” comprise the sublime final statement of Haydn’s symphonic œuvre. They were written for the London impresario Johann Peter Salomon, and Haydn himself conducted their premieres during his lengthy stays in the English metropolis in 1791/92 and 1794/95. The D-major Symphony no. 104 was composed as the last of the London Symphonies” in early 1795 and is not only the concluding work, but also the highlight of Haydn’s symphonic output overall. It firmly established the high standards of the genre for future generations of composers and probably Haydn’s most performed symphony to this day. This study edition adopts the musical text of the Haydn CompleteEdition, thereby guaranteeing the highest scholarly quality. An informative preface and a brief Critical Report make the handy score an ideal companion for all current and soon-to-be Haydn fans.

Two Easy Piano Sonatas : Nos. 19 And 20 Op. 49

The two piano sonatas op. 49, described in their first publication as Sonates faciles, are often the first-ever Beethoven sonatas with which advanced piano pupils can demonstrate their ability. Their relatively high opus number ismisleading, however, for both these two-movement works were composed at roughly the same time as the piano sonatas op. 10, between 1796 and 1798. The fact that they were actually published seven years later is presumably thanks tothe business dealings of Beethoven's brother Carl, who initially offered them to several publishers without success. Finally, in 1805, a Viennese publisher relented and accepted them not yet aware of the treasures that had falleninto his lap. These little masterpieces, cast in an easily manageable format, soon became highly popular. This Henle Urtext edition continues our successful revised series of Beethoven's sonatas under the auspices of MurrayPerahia and Norbert Gertsch.
