Ludwig Van Beethoven: Symphony No. 6 F Major (Pastoral Symphony) Op. 68

Beethoven most likely completed his 6th Symphony in early summer 1808. The work, called “Pastoral Symphony” by the composer himself, was given its first performance along with the 5th Symphony in Vienna in 1808. Both are frequently referred to as sibling works that complement one another. Based on the musical text of the Beethoven Complete Edition and provided with a new preface, this recently made edition represents the latest stage of Beethoven scholarship on this work. Thanks to this study score, the work is now available in a handy format and at an affordable price.

Antonín Dvorák: Piano Trio No. 3 In F Minor Op.65

**Not for sale outside of the UK and Commonwealth.** Dvořák worked longer and more intensively on this Trio than on just about any other chamber music work. After his first successes with pieces inspired by Czech folk music, namely the popular Slavonic Dances (HN 757 and 918), he now wanted to prove himself as a composer of the highest order. This is why in the following summer, he thoroughly reworked the Trio that he had written within eight weeks in spring 1883 before giving it to his publisher. Although Brahms’ music was the undeniable model for the new work, it did not hinder the unfolding of a very personal tone that blends expressiveness and passion. As with the “Dumky” Trio op. 90 (HN 799), Andreas Groethuysen is once again responsible for the fingerings of the Piano part.

Béla Bartók: Mikrokosmos, Volumes V-VI

Bartók’s Mikrokosmos is one of the milestones in the pedagogical piano repertoire – and yet it is also far more than a “classical” piano primer. These 153 piano pieces, organised in ascending order of difficulty, engage not only with technical aspects of piano playing, but also with the fundamentals of composition – from “Ostinato”, “Free variations” and “Imitation and inversion” concerning compositional technique, to programmatic ideas as in “From the diary of a fly” or the famous “Six dances in Bulgarian rhythm” that form the passionate close of this unique work. This Henle Urtext Edition is based on the corresponding volume of the Bartók Complete Edition that is currently in preparation, and also includes specific practical comments and tips concerning Bartók’s own performances. Furthermore, the six volumes of the first edition, which first appeared in 1940, are here gathered together in three practical double volumes that offer both beginners and advanced pianists a perfect introduction to this work.

Both parts are included in a marked and an unmarked version.Sonata For Violin And Violoncello was composed by Maurice Ravel between between 1920 and 1922.

At The Piano - Debussy: 9 Well-Known Original Pieces

You do not need to be a piano virtuoso to enter into the dream world of French Impressionism. With Debussy this is especially straightforward because he knows how to create masterly miniatures possessing poetic depth, even with simple technical means. Clair de lune is probably the best known of these, though by no means the only example, as our selection here proves. And whoever works through this volume successfully can then play a real concert piece in the shape of La cathédrale engloutie, the final work in our selection.

At The Piano - Haydn: 8 Well-Known Original Pieces

Haydn’s piano sonatas are indispensable in the moderately difficult piano repertoire – not just because of their sheer playability, but also because of their humour and inventiveness. Besides several easy individual movements, our volume also includes two complete sonatas so that the performer can experience the broader dramatic trajectory of a multi-movement work. We further include some charming arrangements for piano that Haydn made of his own works – such as the slow movement of his String Quartet op. 76 no. 3, whose theme is better known today as the German national anthem.

Johannes Brahms: Double Concerto A Minor Op. 102

The cellist Robert Hausmann had actually requested a Cello concerto - but Brahms paired the Cello with a Violin in his " Double Concerto ". The unusual work has already been available as part of the new Brahms Complete Edition for several years. Using Brahms ’ original Piano reduction, Johannes Umbreit has produced a playable Piano setting that optimally renders the colourfulness of the score. The fingerings and bowings for the string parts have been supplied by the experienced soloists Frank Peter Zimmermann and Heinrich Schiff. The orchestral parts, based on the Complete Edition, are available from Breitkopf & Härtel (PB/OB 16104).

Johann Sebastian Bach: Two Part Inventions

**Not for sale outside of the UK and Commonwealth.** All Piano students are familiar with Bach ’s Two Part Inventions – but virtuosos of the Keyboard also keep coming back to these timelessly beautiful but by no means easy works. It is hard to believe what Bach was able to express using only two parts! In his famous preface the composer himself calls the work an “Instruction” which teaches students and Keyboard lovers to “treat correctly” several parts, to “achieve a singing style in playing” and to “acquire a strong foretaste of composition”. This edition draws upon all known sources.

Ludwig Van Beethoven: Duo For Violin And Violoncello (Fragment)

While he was still in Bonn, perhaps in 1792 the year he departed for Vienna, Beethoven wrote this Duo for Violin and Violoncello . We do not know whether he ever completed his work as only the beginning of a fast sonata movement has survived. It is on a page in a collection of sketch leaves that is today known as the “Kafka Miscellany”. Robert D. Levin has completed this fragment in the same style and thus for the first time it is in a version that can be performed. Our edition contains two performance scores of this lively showpiece, thus guaranteeing an optimal duo experience. A welcome addition to the repertoire.

Ravel: Prélude À L'Après-Midi D'un Faune (Claude Debussy)

Ravel had limitless admiration for Debussy’s famous orchestral work, going so far as to say in an interview that it was his innermost wish to die to the sounds of this “unique marvel in the whole of music”. Since Debussy had himself already published a version for two pianos, Ravel in 1910 undertook an arrangement for piano 4-hands. It was published that same year by Fromont in Paris, and made an impact all of its own. Henle have been able to recruit Debussy specialist Denis Herlin as editor of this Henle Urtext edition, the first to evaluate all the available sources. The fingerings are by Andreas Groethuysen of the famous Tal & Groethuysen Duo.

Leos Janácek: Mládí (Youth) - Suite For Wind Instruments (Parts)

Leos Janácek 's Mládí (Youth) Suite For Wind Instruments. Parts for Flute/Piccolo, Oboe, Clarinet (B flat), Horn (F), Bassoon, Bass Clarinet (B flat). Leoš Janáček composed his Suite for wind instruments Mládí (in English youth) in 1924, so when he was over 70. Numerous sources still survive for this work, making it difficult to establish the definitive musical text. For our Urtext edition – a cooperation with Universal Edition Wien – Jiří Zahrádka from the Janáček-Archiv in Brno succeeded in brilliantly surmounting this difficulty: he consults all of the handwritten sources for the edition for the first time and is thus able to give exact instructions, for instance regarding the numerous tempo variants.

Maurice Ravel: Pavane Pour Une Infante Défunte

According to Ravel himself, the strange title of the little Piano piece composed in 1899, “Pavane for a dead princess”, should not be ascribed too much importance. He chose it mainly because he liked the alliteration it contained. At the same time he did, however, agree that the music evokes “a pavane that a little princess once might have danced at the Spanish court”. Following its premiere in 1902 the simple but effective piece gained unparalleled popularity, not least reflected in the numerous arrangements made of it, one of which, for small orchestra, was by Ravel himself. We are publishing the work in its original version as a fitting addition to our works by Ravel .

Domenico Dragonetti: The Famous Solo - Für Kontrabass Und Orchester

It is a bit of a paradox: one of Dragonetti ?s favourite pieces and also his showpiece, The Famous Solo , originally for Double Bass and Orchestra, is largely unknown today. This cannot be down to the virtuoso work itself, but is more likely due to the unclear source situation with its different versions. In this edition, Tobias Glöckler presents Dragonetti ?s autograph arrangement for Double Bass and String Quartet for the first time. For those who would like to study the orchestral version, there is also a Piano reduction, based on a contemporary model. Using this edition, The Famous Solo can be performed as needed in the solo and orchestral tuning ? Piano scores and quartet parts in e minor and f sharp minor are also included.

Johannes Brahms: Sonata In E Minor Op. 38

The E minor Cello Sonata is the first work for one solo instrument and Piano which the meticulous composer also had printed. In summer 1865 Brahms offered it to the publisher Simrock as a sonata “whose two instruments are both absolutely easy to play” – and rightly so: contrary to the later F-major Sonata op. 99 (HN 1135), this early sonata is technically less demanding, yet musically more striking at the same time, so that it is a hit with amateurs and professionals alike. This Henle edition is based on the new Brahms Complete Edition and thus boasts, besides in-depth comments, a musical text revised according to the latest scholarly findings; as always, the Cello part is enhanced with additional markings.

Enrique Granados: Goyescas - Los Majos Enamorados

The Spanish composer Enrique Granados left a varied and wide-ranging oeuvre, but it is above all his Piano music that is still very much alive today. This Urtext edition of the dazzlingly virtuoso Goyescas – no doubt his best-known Piano composition – now brings a prestigious new work to the Henle catalogue. The suite was written between 1909 and 1911. Its unusual title goes back to the Spanish artist Francisco de Goya, whose paintings inspired Granados . The Goyescas conjure up Spanish life in Goya’s time at the end of the 18th century – gallant and sensual, but also melancholic and dark. The subtitle “Los majos enamorados” (the young lovers) provides a thematic link among the six scenes which depict the joys and sufferings of budding love.

Johannes Brahms: Piano Pieces Op. 119

Johannes Brahms ’ summer sojourn in 1893 in Bad Ischl was productive. Alongside the pieces op. 118, he also wrote his last cycle of Piano pieces, opus 119. The composer wrote to Clara Schumann of the opening work, saying that it was teeming with dissonances and that: “ every measure and every note must sound like a ritardando, as if one wanted to suck the melancholy out of each single one, with lust and pleasure out of the aforementioned dissonances! ” Yet opus 119 contains something for every mood: No. 3 surprises with its lively and light C major, and the cycle is completed with the defiant rhapsody in E flat major. This edition, based on the Brahms Complete Edition, is an invitation to pianists to rediscover Brahms ’ complex cosmos.

Edward Elgar: Salut d'Amour Op. 12 For Violoncello And Piano

Edward Elgar ’s Salut D’Amour is one of those pieces by the British composer that has a particularly haunting melody. Composed in 1888 for his future wife Caroline Alice Roberts, the work became an enormous success early on. There are numerous arrangements – but the only versions for which the autograph manuscripts survive are those for Violin and Piano (HN 1188), Piano solo (HN 1190) and Violoncello and Piano. Up to now there has only been an arrangement of the Cello part made by the original publisher, presumably with Elgar ’s approval. We are now for the very first time publishing the version following Elgar ’s autograph manuscript, which for unknown reasons had never been released. In addition we are publishing the trusted musical text from the first edition.

Sergei Rachmaninoff: Prélude In G Minor Op. 23 No. 5

As indestructible as Rachmaninoff ’s C-sharp-minor Prélude (HN 1211) may be, it is not his only Prélude to have begun a “solo career” of its own: with its rousing rhythms and rhapsodic middle section, the famous piece in G minor certainly takes its place among them. Pianists who aren’t yet ready to tackle the complete cycle of 24 Préludes (available as HN 1200) can still enjoy Rachmaninoff “at his best” with this work. In conjunction with Moscow’s Glinka Archives, we were able to consult the autograph sources for our Urtext edition of the Préludes, which means that this single edition thus also benefits from the Urtext’s excellent editorial and graphic quality. As with all of our Rachmaninoff editions, the fingerings were once again provided by Marc-André Hamelin.

Telemann 12 Fantasias Flt Solo Bk

**Not for sale outside of the UK and Commonwealth** Georg Philipp Telemann 's 12 Fantasias for solo Flute. Aside from the Partita in A minor by Johann Sebastian Bach (HN457) and the Sonata in A minor by his son Carl Philipp Emanuel (HN555), it was also mainly Telemann ’s 12 Fantasias that enriched the solo Flute repertoire in the first half of the 18th century. Telemann ’s cycle evidently had a great influence on the flautist’s world. The composer had his Fantasias published in 1727 (he might even have engraved the edition himself). The work was soon considered to be exemplary and caught on. This Henle Urtext edition is based on Telemann ’s print, which has been reproduced as a facsimile in the edition. The Flute expert Rachel Brown has provided a commentary with details regarding performance practice.
