Rondo Capriccioso Op.14

Ullrich Scheideler has edited one of Mendelssohn’s most important and beautiful piano works, comparing it again with the sources. Henle Publishers is now issuing it in a revised edition with his comprehensive commentary. The sparkling bravura piecewas called an “Etude” in the first version of 1828. Two years later Mendelssohn wanted to present the work to the young piano virtuoso Delphine von Schauroth, whom he was courting at the time. He reworked it under the new title “Rondo capriccioso”,making it even more brilliant and adding a “moving introductory adagio” (thus described in a letter to Fanny). In this form, the work still presents all good pianists with a rewarding challenge.

Bunte Blätter Op. 99

In Schumann’s middle years there was a longer period in which he favoured larger groups of instruments. Although he composed a few single pieces for piano, they remained unpublished at first. It was only after the resounding success of the “Album for the Young” that he once again turned to several of these pieces to combine them in an album. Originally the collection was to be called “Spreu” (chaff) but the publisher was not convinced by this. Some of the altogether 34 pieces were finally published under the title “Coloured Leaves”, which quickly became a bestseller. As part of our Schumann revision we have now produced a new version of this edition to reflect the latest inscholarly research.

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.

Sonata No. 1 F Major

The sonatas published in 1732 in Amsterdam, London and Paris under Benedetto Marcello’s name are to the present day firmly established in the cello repertoire. Although Marcello’s authorship is not undisputed by this time, the composer had already specialised in sacred works the musical beauty of the sonatas is all the more captivating. This four-movement F major Sonata offers all cellists well-versed in the first four positions a good introduction to the classical literature and to reading tenor clef. In this Urtext edition, the figured continuo part is additionally furnished with an easy-to-play keyboard realisation by Wolfgang Kostujak. The enclosed solo part provides fingerings and bowing marks for the cellist and thus the optimal provisions for a class recital!

Arias, Duet, Trio

The works for solo voice(s) and Orchestra assembled in this volume owe their composition to the most diverse occasions. Some were tailor-made for female singers in Beethoven’s milieu, while with others he was dabbling in the field of Italian opera (under the tutelage of none other than Antonio Salieri). Scarcely any of them made it into print during Beethoven’s lifetime. Aside from canonical works of the repertoire such as “Ah! perfido” op. 65, this volume also contains unknown gems like the scene and aria Beethoven revised multiple times, “No, non turbarti” – “Ma tu tremi, o mio tesoro?”. The study score contains the textof the scholarly Complete Edition. Beethoven specialist Ernst Herttrich additionally provides information about the genesis and exciting variants in the transmission history.

Variationen f-moll (Sonata) Hob. XVII:6 : Variations f minor (Sonata) Hob. XVII:6

It was by a roundabout route that the autograph score of Haydn’s most important piano work ended up in the New York Library via a collector. Its four leaves contain a fair copy of the work- two leaves with a sketch-like character follow. Haydn composed the work, at the time still entitled “Sonate”, for “Signora de Ployer” (probably the pianist Barbara Ployer associated with Mozart). The variation movement was apparently intended as the beginning of a sonata with several movements. As can be seen from the second part of the autograph score, Haydn later extended the movement and ended it with an expansive Capriccio Coda. The first print already bears the title “Variations”. Themoving masterpiece has been played all over the world under the title “Variations in f minor” ever since.

Works for Violin and Piano

This substantial volume contains all of the works that Tchaikovsky composed or arranged himself for Violin and Piano. The three larger Violin works opp. 26, 34, and 42, which G. Henle Publishers also offers inindividual practical editions, are particularly well-known and popular. By contrast, the three brief single movements with which Tchaikovsky presents charming adaptations of his own pieces promise to be genuinediscoveries. Tchaikovsky’s Violin works have long suffered under corrupt musical editions heavily reworked later by violinists all the more important, therefore, that the editor responsible for thisUrtextedition is Russian Tchaikovsky specialist Alexander Komarov. He consulted all of the relevant original sources in international archives, thereby guaranteeing the highest reliability of this musical text. Ingolf Turban, aViolin virtuoso of the first order, supplied stylistically appropriate markings in the Violin part.

Serenade for Wind Instruments Op. 7 : In E flat major

When he was a mere 18 years old, Richard Strauss composed the highly Romantic, one-movement Serenade for Wind Instruments, op. 7. Extremely popular among wind players to this day, this work recalls in instrumentation and structure Mozart’s “Gran Partita”, which certainly served as a model for Strauss. The serenade was not premiered in its Bavarian homeland as might have been expected, but rather in Dresden, in 1882, under the direction of the then much-esteemed conductor Franz Wüllner, who had also given the inaugural performances of Richard Wagner’s Rheingold and Die Walküre and later premiered Strauss’ tone poems Till Eulenspiegel and Don Quixote. So it was a great honourfor the young Bavarian! Editor Norbert Gertsch presents this little masterwork here for the first time in Urtext quality – in full score and instrumental parts – for which not just the first edition but also the autograph manuscript was scrutinised fastidiously.

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.

Sechs Tänze In Bulgarischem Rhythms

These six dances form the final culmination of Bartók’s “Mikrokosmos” (HN 1408-1410), that work of the century comprising over 150 pieces. He dedicated this grouping, collected under its own title, to the famous English pianist Harriet Cohen. Inspired, this specialist for contemporary music found in them “a whole world of music” and championed the pieces. Bartók himself added the dances to his concert repertory early on, though initially in a reduced form that omitted the fifth dance, which was not composed until the end of 1939 as one of the last works of the collection. Our practical, standalone Urtext edition of these six dances also featuresan early version of the concluding piece and supplies interesting background details about Bartók’s own recital practice. This edition’s musical text is based on that of the Bartók Complete Edition.

Piano Sonata In F Minor Op 5 Piano : revised single edition from HN 38

Johannes Brahms’s piano sonatas opp. 1, 2 and 5 were among the first works that the then 20-year-old composer published. Much of the music of the f-minor Sonata is closely connected to Brahms’s visit to Robert and Clara Schumann in Düsseldorf in the autumn of 1853. There are indications that the young Brahms was inspired by Robert Schumann’s Sonata op. 14 which was also in f minor. The music critic Eduard Hanslick also believed that he could discern the influence of Brahms’s older colleague when he wrote about the Sonata op. 5: “The whole of Brahms is here, though still under the spell of Schumann”. This revised Urtext edition is based on the musical text of the New BrahmsComplete Edition. The fingerings are by Andreas Boyde and offer the performer highly ingenious solutions to mastering this piano work that is so symphonic in scope.

Horn Concerto No. 2 in E flat major

As if looking back on his youth toward the end of his life, Richard Strauss wrote a second concerto for horn and orchestra, again in Eb major, around sixty years after his first concerto for horn. This sublimely beautiful late work, which gives no indication of the oppressive circumstances of Strauss’ poor health and the Second World War, was premiered in 1943 by Gottfried von Freiberg under the direction of Karl Böhm. It was not until after Strauss’ death that the concerto appeared in print in London, making a critical new edition on the basis of the autograph sources and performance material more than overdue. The editor, Hans Pizka, former principal horn of the BavarianState Opera in Munich, learned first-hand about the performance tradition and genesis of the concerto as a pupil of Gottfried von Freiberg. For use in lessons and for performances, the especially playable piano reduction by Johannes Umbreit is a great help.
