Sonatinas For Piano Volume II Classical

Through the amiable genre of the sonatina, generations of piano pupils have slowly and cautiously approached its “big sister”, the sonata. With the aid of our three-volume selection of sonatinas from two centuries, intermediate piano pupils large and small can undertake an excursion through the development of piano music from the early 18th to the end of the 19th century. This second volume contains 21 sonatinas from the classical period by composers such as Clementi, Diabelli, Haydn, Kuhlau and Pleyel. Rhythmic elegance and melodic charm on the one hand, and Alberti basses and sometimes simple melodic structures on the other, are typical of the sonatinas of this era. Ourcollection offers a representative selection. Simple pieces at the beginning provide a way in, then the sonatinas follow in chronological order. A large body of literature for piano lessons!

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Serenade major K. 375 for 2 Clarinets, 2 Horns and 2 Bassoons(with parts for horns E flat and F)

Late in the evening, on his name day in 1781, Mozart was on his way to bed when he suddenly heard familiar sounds coming from outside: the six musicians who had given the première of his Serenade in E-flat Major two weeks beforehand and whom he had described as “poor fellows, but who can blow together quite nicely” had now met in the courtyard and were serenading him with his own work. Although it was officially composed for Therese Hickel, in actual fact Mozart mainly wanted to impress Emperor Joseph II, whose chief of the royal chamber music often went to Therese’s house – “That’s the reason why I also put a little effort into it”. Did it really help? At any rate Mozart was appointed imperial chamber composer by Joseph II a few years later.

Ludwig Van Beethoven: Romanzen Fur Violine Und Orchester Op. 40 And Op. 50

Beethoven’s Romances for violin and orchestra op. 40 and op. 50 are rewarding solo pieces that demand sovereign technique and artistic sensitivity. Their simple structures with noble melodies and virtuoso embellishments made them popular concert pieces already during Beethoven’s lifetime. In addition to a piano reduction for practical performance, G. Henle here presents a study score. It follows the musical text of the Beethoven Complete Edition and accords with the orchestral material from Breitkopf & Härtel. In his detailed preface, Ernst Herttrich informs us about the genesis and the source situation of the two works.

Antonín Dvorák: Sonatina For Piano And Violin In G Op.100

Sonatina In G, Op.100 was written in New York in 1893. Scored for Violin and Piano, it comprises four movements: Allegro Risoluto - Larghetto (Indian Lament) - Scherzo and Trio: Molto Vivace - Finale: Allegro . It was intended for the composer’s children, making the simple melodic lines and unadorned harmonies an accessible favourite of many young violinists. A delightful and rewarding piece, it is perfect for any recital. Antonin Dvorak (1841-1904) was best known for his New World Symphony, composed in the short time he spent in America – the rest of his career was spent in his native Bohemia and the rest of Europe.

Ludwig van Beethoven: Variations for Piano, Volume I

Variation form occupied Beethoven throughout his composing career. This first volume of G. Henle Publishers’ two-volume edition of all his piano variations includes works from Beethoven’s time in Bonn as well as his early years in Vienna, composed between 1783 and 1799. Beethoven mostly took his themes from arias or songs from stage works that were popular at the time. Besides offering simple figurations around the melodic lines, he also made more radical variations of his chosen material, pointing the way forward to his future “character variations”. The musical text of this Urtext edition has been completely revised on the basis of the critical report of the Beethoven CompleteEdition. There is also a detailed preface and commentary.

Sergei Rachmaninoff: Étude-Tableau In C Op. 33 No. 2

Alongside HN 1264 (the Etude in e flat minor op. 39,5), Henle are now offering the Etude In C Major in a single edition, taken from their much-loved complete edition of the 17 Études-Tableaux. Rachmaninoff greatly valued this work, often included it in his concert programmes and also recorded it. A longing melody unfolds over a simple accompaniment. This charming piece that alternates between major and minor is a good technical exercise for the crossing over of the hands, but does not contain nearly as many difficulties as Rachmaninoff ’s other etudes and is thus also manageable by advanced amateurs. They will be aided in the Henle Urtext edition by the helpful fingerings provided by the virtuoso Marc-André Hamelin.

Gabriel Fauré: Dolly

The six pieces in Gabriel Fauré' s Dolly suite were inspired by the young daughter of the composer's friend Emma Bardac. The girl was born in 1892 and called “Dolly” on account of her small, delicate figure. These pieces were composed mainly for Dolly's birthday or the New Year, and reflect the world as experienced by the growing child, from a lullaby to a temperamental dance. The suite was not meant to be taken too seriously, as shown by the subtle allusions to his own music and that of others. Despite their simple basic structure these pieces, which soon became popular, contain numerous harmonic and rhythmic subtleties typical of the French composer – “children’s music” that is also well suited to adults.

Frederic Chopin: Concerto For Piano And Orchestra No.1 E Minor Op.11 (2 Pianos)

Chopin’s Piano Concertos first saw the light of day around 1829/1830 and thus represent the culmination and termination of his student years in Warsaw. Both concertos are early masterpieces with which Chopin celebrated triumphs on his first foreign concert tours, and to this day their popularity has remained unbroken. As to the sources, the situation for the e-minor concerto is simple, since hardly any autograph material has survived. The Henle Urtext of the solo part is thus based on the first edition of 1833 that the composer himself authorised for printing. The piano reduction of the orchestral parts is based on material that has its roots close to Chopin himself. The Henleedition thus makes possible an authentic study of this core work of piano concerto literature.

Franz Schubert: Duos for Piano and Violin

Schubert’s three grand duos for violin and piano occupy pride of place among his foremost works. In the A major Sonata D 574 of summer 1817 he continued to elaborate what was still a simple interplay of the violin and piano in the violin sonatinas (see HN 6) and reached his greatest mastery here. He increased the intensity of his writing into genuine virtuosity in the b minor Rondo D 895 composed in late 1826. The critics of Schubert’s day were already praising “the bold master of harmony” and “the fiery fantasy” of the piece. In the Fantasie in C major D 934, written one year later, Schubert brackets an Andantino with Variations on the song “Sei mir gegrüsst” D 741 withsections that are tastefully interwoven with the theme of the lied.

Ludwig van Beethoven: Complete Bagatelles (Henle Edition)

The present volume contains the complete Bagatelles of Beethoven , which are here reproduced according to the edition of the Pianoforte works already issued by the same publisher (HN12). Progressing from his youthful works, we here learn to know the Beethoven of the ‘middle’ period, as manifested let us say in the virtuosity and power of the Bagatelles op. 33, nos. 5 and 7. In the Bagatelles, op. 119 and 126, the simple humanity and goodness of the ‘late’ Beethoven then speak to us in a conclusive form. This edition closely follows Beethoven ’s manner of notation. In distributing the notes between the two staves exactly as in the autographs (that is, by abandoning the usual and more convenient change of clef, which disturbs the visual uniformity of the notation) the vertical tonal connections and relationships are now more easily perceptible of the eye.

Telemann: Methodical Sonatas Volume 2 Flute Or Violin & Piano

“Methodical” was how Telemann’s six sonatas were described when they were published in 1732, because they included a second, ornamented version of the simple melody line of the solo instrument for the slow opening movements and for the second movement of the c-minor sonata. This is music that is both instructive and also a delight to play, and G. Henle Publishers can highly recommend it to the flautists and violinists of today. This lavishly appointed new edition has separate solo and bass continuo parts that contain the other part in each case for orientation purposes. There is also an additional part featuring only the figured bass line. This edition includes the score, which also features a historically faithful realisation of the figured bass. The first volume of “Methodical Sonatas” has already been published (HN 1266); this means that all twelve of Telemann’s sonatas are now available as Henle Urtext editions.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Concerto For Oboe And Orchestra C K.314 (Oboe/Piano)

This Henle Urtext edition in unrivalled in layout and precision. The professional journal “Rohrblatt” wrote shortly after its publication (in 2004): “An editorial stroke of genius … Every oboist who attempts this concerto must have his interpretation measured against this edition.” Such praise principally honors the editor, the famous oboist Ingo Goritzki. It was his idea to offer a supplement to the edited instrumental part that presents both sources of the work each problematic in various ways together with the edited part. Owing to this chosen arrangement of the score one can see all variants at a glance, and make one’s own justified performance decisions. Particularlyproblematic and oft-debated passages are discussed in detail by Professor Goritzki. The above-cited praise for “an editorial stroke of genius” also applies to Mozart expert and pianist Robert Levin, who has composed idiosyncratic cadenzas in the master’s style especially for Henle’s edition of Mozart’s oboe concerto, very much in the improvisatory spirit of a cadenza, one can jump from one place to another in the template thanks to a simple (numerical) cross-reference system, and thus craft one’s “own” cadenzas. Finally, a word about the much-praised piano reduction for this edition, which comes from Mozart expert and renowned continuo specialist Siegfried Petrenz. He aims for a well-sounding and not too technically-challenging keyboard part that is clearly removed from those often-found piano reductions that orient themselves around an orchestral scoring. In so doing, he also takes account of the typical instructional situation in which a professional accompanist is not always available to the oboist.
