Franz Liszt: Hungarian Rhapsody No.15 - Rákóczi March

The Rákóczi March is often referred to as the "Hungarian Marseillaise". The beginnings of this march song go back to around 1730. In the text, the Hungarians summon Franz II Rákóczi to free his people from the Habsburg oppression. The melody has been arranged many times, e. g. by Brahms and Berlioz, even Liszt made several arrangements of varying degrees of difficulty. He eventually did a "concert arrangement" of the theme in his highly virtuosic Hungarian Rhapsody No.15. This Urtext edition opens with a knowledgeable preface by the Hungarian Liszt scholar Mária Eckhardt.

Franz Benda: 6 Sonatas for Violin and Basso Continuo

’Gallant’ and ‘sensitive’ by no means implies boring and old-fashioned. Proof of this is given by Franz (František) Benda , the Bohemian Paganini of the 18th Century. Not only was his life extremely colourful and successful, but so were his musical compositions that were primarily for the Violin. They are great examples of his compositional ability and mastery of the Violin. Our highly praised Urtext edition with six selected sonatas from the master’s different creative periods – including four first publications – will provide a rich experience for all those violinists who are prepared to step off the usual beaten track. Your efforts will be rewarded!

Johann Sebastian Bach: Suites, Sonatas, Capriccios, Variations

Apart from the major cycles (partitas, French and English suites), a whole series of separate keyboard suites by Bach have come down to us, including individual sonatas or sonata movements, variations, and fragments of various sorts called Capriccios. None of them reached the degree of popularity of the aforementioned large collections. Most of them go back to Bach’s youth and student years, to wit, to the years between 1700 and 1710, and do not yet reach the mastery of the later years. However, this is compensated by the enormous joy one derives in playing these works.

Franz Xaver Mozart: Complete Piano Works Volume I

Franz Xaver Mozart was W. A. Mozart?s youngest son. Intended for a career in music by his mother from the very beginning, he followed in his father?s footsteps but was not able to step out from under his shadow during his lifetime. In Henle's urtext edition in two volumes (Volume II, HN 959) they are publishing all of his Piano works for two and three hands for the first time. Volume I contains nine, in part very extensive variation cycles (one of them is a first publication), an expansive Fantasia in A major (also a first publication) and the Sonata op. 10 with four movements. A cycle of variations for three hands brings the volume to an original close.

Franzosische Violinmusik Der Barockzeit

Two lots of seven violin sonatas from the heyday of the 18th century French Violin School: Whoever plays these sonatas (with basso continuo), will go on a voyage of discovery to a musical continent that is today mainly visited by specialists. But it is worth it! All of these sonatas appeared in much sought after publications of the time and were played across Europe. The editor of both of these Urtext editions, Gisela Meyn-Beckmann, is a renowned connoisseur of the repertoire and has ensured that there is a great deal of variety. The artistic consultant and violinist Erno Sebéstyen, who provided the fingerings and bowings for the solo part, provides valuable, individualsuggestions for performing them.

Max Bruch: Violin Concerto In G Minor Op.26

It made its creator world-famous and added a towering masterpiece to the standard repertoire: Max Bruch ’s First Violin Concerto In G Minor . Now it’s appearing at last in an urtext edition from Henle. Bruch himself was not always overjoyed at his work’s popularity: "I can’t listen to this concerto anymore," he once complained to his publisher Simrock, "do you suppose I’ve only written one concerto?" By now the Bruch Concerto has found a permanent place in the world’s concert halls. Henle’s edition provides not only a razor-sharp urtext for the solo part, but a preface that alone is worth the price of the volume: who could have guessed that the concerto went through a convoluted genesis with multi-layered revisions, and that some of the changes go back to the famous violinist Joseph Joachim?

J.S. Bach: Two Part Inventions

Bach's Two Part Inventions 1-15, included in this edition, were a part of what Bach described as his "honest method by which amateurs of the keyboard - especially, however, those desirous of learning - are shown a clear way not only (1) to learn to play cleanly in two parts, but also, after further progress, (2) to handle three obligate parts correctly and well; and along with this not only to obtain good inventions (ideas) but to develop the same well; above all, however, to achieve a cantabile style in playing and at the same time acquire a strong foretaste of composition." This Urtext edition makes use of the latest research, and thus is as accurate as possible. Those wishing to go on to three parts using this method may also consider Bach's Sinfonias (Three Part Inventions) HN1360.

Georges Bizet: Jeux D'Enfants Op. 22

Georges Bizet was not eminent as a piano composer, for the number of his piano works is small and not very substantial in terms of form, content and character. Yet there is an exception: the “Jeux d’enfants” for piano four hands from 1871. In this loosely-connected series of twelve short and very terse genre pieces Bizet crafted a charming masterwork. With an unpretentious simplicity that is full of French ‘esprit’, he creates a unique and distinctive mood in each of the miniatures and the textural-harmonic means employed already point in the direction of Ravel and Debussy! Unfortunately, much of his compositional audacity was smoothed out in the first edition of 1872, makingit all the more important that our Urtext edition also takes Bizet’s autograph into account. The preface and comments go into detail about all the discrepancies of the first edition, thereby offering a fascinating glimpse into publishing history.
