Variations In F Minor

Haydn’s last piano work is also considered to be his most famous single work for this instrument. The minor theme is filled with emotional depth: “a melancholy andante in f minor, with variations, as only a genius can do them, that almost sounds like a free fantasia” (thus described in a review of the time). The form is also demanding: not merely one theme but two one in a major key, the other in a minor one are varied in turn. The autograph gives one to believe that the work was originally intended to be the first movement of a sonata. This single edition has been taken from the recently revised volume of “Piano pieces” (HN 224) and furnished with a detailed commentary.Henle also recently published a facsimile of Haydn’s autograph of the Variations in f minor: HN 3218.?

Waltzes Op.39 : Easy Arrangement

Following the publication of the 16 Waltzes for piano four hands, Brahms' publisher succeeded in persuading the composer to do a version for piano solo. After initially hesitating, Brahms suggested two versions, one for cleverhands and one - perhaps for the more beautiful ones. Both versions were published in 1867. The simplified one, which Brahms also called the version for children, not only thins out some of the full chords but also transposescomplicated keys. Thus no. 6 is no longer in C sharp major but in the easier key of C major instead. Henle is now issuing this simplified version of the popular Op. 39 based on the revised musical text of the new Brahms CompleteEdition.

Piano Sonata D major KV 576

From Mozart’s letters we know that he made firm plans in the summer of 1789 to earn money by composing six new easy piano sonatas for Princess Friederike of Prussia. Only this one was written, however, and one would hardly call it “easy.” On the contrary, the sonata in D major K. 576 demands enormous dexterity from the performer, and, all told, it may be the most technically challenging of all Mozart’s sonatas. In English-speaking countries, this rather contrapuntal, structurally-complex composition is called the “Hunt Sonata.” If you listen to the beginning of this eighteenth and final piano sonata by Mozart, you’ll immediately know why.

Dances - Selection : Dances

Schubert at the piano, with his inexhaustible wealth of dance melodies, his friends around him dancing and playing jokes this is one of the traditional images of Schubert that we so cherish. The term Schubertiade invented for this kind of get-together is now solidly established. In this selection of the loveliest and most frequently played dances, one finds 59 waltzes, 40 ländler or Deutsche as well as four écossaises and a minuet. In selecting the works, care was taken to ensure that individual pieces of more or less the same level of difficulty are grouped together (from easy to medium: 3 to 5).

Henry Vieuxtemps: Viola Sonata In B Flat Op.36

Henry Vieuxtemps ' Viola Sonata In B Flat Op.36 . Urtext edition. Following a concert by the 14-year old 'wunderkind' Henry Vieuxtemps in 1834, none other than Robert Schumann said 'With Henri one can safely close one’s eyes. His playing is like a flower, at the same time both fragrant and bright'. Vieuxtemps is nowadays considered to be the foremost exponent of the Franco-Belgian Violin school. The composer was, however, an excellent Viola player and wrote several compositions for the instrument. Sonata Op.36 , published in 1862, is one of the gems of Viola literature with its oscillation between expressive maestoso, elegiac barcarola and scherzando passages. This edition by Henle is the first Urtext version of the work to be published.

Rondo A Minor K. 511

“A rondo for piano solo,” noted Mozart in his personal work catalogue on 11 March 1787 and there is little more to add about the origins of this piece, which Mozart sent off to print shortly thereafter. With its playful yet slightly melancholic character, it is one of Mozart’s most outstanding works for the piano.

Symphonie Nr. 3 F-dur op. 90 : Arrangements for one Piano four-hands and two Pianos four-hands, with critical report

Ausgewählte Klaveirwerke

Jan Hugo Vor šek (1791 1825), born the year that Mozart died, is, we believe, the one who stands out amongst the Bohemian composers at the time of Beethoven. He is currently enjoying a well-deserved renaissance. Our edition of selected piano works, edited by Dana Zahn, focuses on shorter pieces (Impromptus, Fantasy, Variations), but also contains a real gem: the B minor Piano Sonata “Quasi una Fantasia” (op. 20).

Lyric Pieces Volume II Op.38

Grieg’s second book of Lyric Pieces was published 16 years after its predecessor, but immediately reprised the huge success of the former collection. Interestingly enough, the original title pages of the first books still make mention of “Little Pieces”.While the reference to simplicity and brevity still applies to Book One, in the second book it was already being questioned: the pieces here are longer, weightier and more technically demanding.

Piano Sonata no. 2 in b flat minor op. 36 : Versions 1913 and 1931

Finally, G. Henle Publishers is able to offer one of Rachmaninov’s most important, most substantial piano works in a meticulous Urtext edition that does justice to the work and to the editorial difficulties it raises. Rachmaninov was unhappy with the dense textures and the length of his Piano Sonata in b-flat minor, so almost 20 years after its composition and publication he made numerous cuts and “streamlined” it though this has been criticised by pianists down to the present day. For this reason, it is mostly the first version that is played today or even a mixture of the two versions such as Vladimir Horowitz used to perform (albeit with the permission of the composer).This Henle Urtext edition also takes into account the autograph in the Moscow Glinka Museum. As in all the Rachmaninov editions in the catalogue of G. Henle Publishers, the fingerings here are by Marc-André Hamelin, one of the outstanding pianists of our time.

Divertimento In D Hob.II

Haydn’s numerous divertimentos for strings and winds are cheerful, functional music about whose genesis we know very little. Many stem from Haydn’s early years, when the composer had to keep his head above water with musical odd jobs. Thus the Divertimento in D major Hob. II:8, for two flutes, two horns, two violins and bass, was probably composed already in the 1750s. It is one of Haydn’s few chamber works to employ flutes.

Lieder von der Mur-Insel : Songs from the Mur-Island, Little Pieces for Piano

The Serbian composer, conductor and university lecturer Marko Taj evi , who died in 1984, was one of the leading personalities in Yugoslavian musical life after 1945. His works are typically conceived for piano, and many inspired by the folk music of his nation. This also includes the 13 pieces of this volume, which skillfully transpose the traditional songs from the region between the rivers Drau and Mur in northern Croatia, and transform them into delightful little pieces.

Variations On 'Trockne Blumen' D.802

Just as in his “Trout” Quintet (D 667), “Wanderer” Fantasy (D 760), and string quartet “Death and the Maiden” (D 810), in the flute variations on “Trockne Blumen” (D 802) Franz Schubert employs one of his songs as the thematic basis of an instrumental composition. “Trockne Blumen” (Dried Flowers) is the eighteenth song from the cycle “Die schöne Müllerin” (D 795), composed in autumn 1823. In January 1824, before publication of all of the Müller songs that summer, the Theme and Variations in E minor for flute and piano were written, prefaced by a weighty introductory section. The work remains Schubert’s single and singular virtuoso composition for flautists: tremendouslydifficult for the flute to play, and, incidentally, sometimes very tricky for the piano to “accompany.” Schubert’s much-reworked autograph manuscript is the sole authoritative source for our Urtext, as it demonstrably served as the engraver’s copy for the posthumously published first edition. One of the variations he crossed out entirely the Henle Urtext edition reproduces it, more for informational purposes than for performance, in the appendix.

Violoncello Sonata D Major Op. 102 No. 2

Written in 1815, the two Sonatas op. 102 mark the transition to the often austere sonorities of Beethoven's late style. One reviewerof the original edition noted in 1818 that they doubtless number among the most unusual andpeculiar things written in a long while. Proceeding from the established Classical schema, here Beethoven sounds out possibilities for changing and expanding sonata form, which make Opus 102 the capstone of his cello ouvre. TheSonata in D-major reflects Beethoven's preoccupation with traditionalcounterpoint - if in the opening movement his ingenious combination of extremely different themes elicits admiration, then in the Allegro fugato section of thefinale we witness how he conjures from one simple theme the highest contrapuntal art. The Urtext edition by Jens Dufner is based on his research for the Critical Report of the Beethoven Complete Edition and thus features a musicaltext at the highest scholarly level. In the preface and Critical Report, he outlines the genesis and source situation of the sonata. Ian Fountain and David Geringas provide the fingerings.

Klassische Klaviersonaten : Classical Piano Sonatas

The idea behind the “Classical Piano Sonatas” of the preclassical and classical eras is to help the pianist find his way more easily within the profusion of literature in this genre, the most important one within the classical piano repertoire. Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach exemplifies the development which then leads to two charming Haydn sonatas and three elegant ones by Mozart (including the famous “Sonate facile” in C major) to the easier piano sonatas of Beethoven and two graceful Haydn sonatas.

Complete Piano Sonatas Volume II w/o fg pb. : Edition without fingering

The revision of the three-volume edition of Haydn’s piano sonatas also appears in a version without fingerings. Whoever wishes to study the Classical sonata canon in pure” Urtext, free from added fingering suggestions, will now also find these in the Henle catalogue. Volume II contains three sets of six sonatas, each more famous than the last and all replete with delightful thematic ideas – it is here one finds the core of Haydn’s sonata production, which amateurs and professionals alike simply cannot do without!

Piatti 12 Capricci Op 25 Vlc Stsc

One of the most celebrated cellists of his day, virtuosic composer Alfredo Piatti performed with the likes of Liszt and Mendelssohn Bartholdy. His 12 Capricci Op. 25 are a must for all advanced Cello players. Piatti 's 12 Capricci have been compared by Sir Yehudi Menuhin to the Cello Suites by J. S. Bach - in fact, Menuhin referred to the two works as the 'Old and New Testament' of Cello literature. This Henle Urtext publication is the very first time that the work has been produced in a practical study edition.

Orgelstucke

Apart from his organ sonatas, Felix Mendelssohn also composed numerous other works for the king of instruments. The present volume focuses on a selection of eight works from Mendelssohn’s maturity, including the three “Preludes and Fugues”, op. 37. This group of works is, without exaggeration, one of the first important organ works of the 19th century, with which Mendelssohn heralded the second era of organ music after the baroque. The editor of this Urtext edition, organ specialist Wolfgang Stockmeier, explains in his extensive preface how Mendelssohn based his polyphonic works for keyboard instruments on Handel’s, rather than on Bach’s, compositional technique.

Klaviersonate C-dur Hob. XVI:48 : Piano Sonata in C major Hob. XVI:48

This Haydn sonata has previously not been available in the Henle catalogue as an individual Urtext edition. Nevertheless, it numbers among Haydn’s famous piano works. It was written in 1789 (thus making it one of the “latesonatas”) for the Leipzig publisher Christoph Gottlob Breitkopf. Its two-movement structure fathoms the entire spectrum of Haydn’s musical language: from the brooding-improvisational first movement to the sparkling, humorousFinale. Haydn exploits here the full range of the keyboard and its tonal possibilities. The world-famous pianist Piotr Anderszewski has contributed his fingerings for this Henle Urtext edition and invites you to explore thisextraordinary work!
