G-Henle - Keyboard

Piano Pieces-Throughout his life Mozart composed individual pieces for the Keyboard. This wealth of material offers us an exceptional insight into his musical development. For the first time ever we are now offering all of theseworks in a single edition. Our edition has been completely revised taking into account the latest findings in Mozart scholarship. In many instances sources which have only recently been made available or which have beennewly interpreted have formed the cornerstone of the revision. This has also led to the inclusion of works which were not in the previous Henle edition.

Johannes Brahms’ late Piano works in the form of the two editions HN 36 (paperbound) and 37 (clothbound) have been a cornerstone of the Henle catalogue ever since the early 1950s. In 2011 the volume with Pianopieces (HN 6014) was published in the new Brahms Complete Edition an edition of these important works that reflected the latest in scholarly research. Having already published single volumes of the Urtext editions ofopus numbers 76 79 and 116 119 with the up-to-date musical text in the Complete Edition Henle are now rounding off this Brahms project by publishing the revised volume of collected works available as a classicpaperbound clothbound or handy study edition. An open invitation to all those who wish to immerse themselves in Brahms’ fascinating Piano cosmos.

Revised edition of HN 320-Frédéric Chopin spent his fifth summer at George Sand?s country estate in Nohant in 1844. The time away from Paris gave the composer the necessary creative free space to produce the delicate Berceuse(lullaby) as well as the B minor sonata that year. The former is known for its dreamy exquisite ambient sound and yet it still numbers amongst Chopin?s most fabricated works. It was originally intended to have the somewhatsober title ?Variantes?: a sketch shows how Chopin conceived these ?Variantes?. The genesis and source situation are explored in this Henle revised edition that reflects the latest scholarly findings. A classicwith a new look in the Henle catalogue.

Brahms’ Hungarian Dances count on brilliant and spirited virtuosity whereas his 16 Waltzes Op. 39 are more modest and intimate. Yet they are just as haunting who isn’t familiar with the gently rockingmelody of no. 14 that is one of Brahms’ best-known musical ideas? His publisher must have had an inkling of the success of this collection as shortly after its publication in its original version for Piano four hands in1866 he asked the composer for a version for Piano solo. Henle are now publishing it in a revised edition based on the musical text of the new Brahms Complete Edition.

Beethoven?s 32 Piano Sonatas are often referred to as the ?New Testament of Music? (Hans von Bülow).

Its contents: an almost inexhaustible wealth of pianistic musical flights of inspiration predominantly high profile works the Sonatas ?Pathétique? ?Moonlight? ?Storm? ?Appassionata? ?Waldstein? ?Hammerklavier?. Even if one will never (be able) to play them all the acquisition of the ?New Testament? is always worthwhile whether clothbound paperbound or as a studyedition in Henle Urtext.

Debussy occasionally reacted to musical trends in his compositions as was the case with American ragtime. Aside from Golliwogg?s Cakewalk in Children?s Corner (HN 382) The Little Negro is even todaya standard piece in modern crossover orientated Piano teaching. Debussy did actually compose the piece for a Piano method namely that of Théodore Lack published in 1909. In 1934 the publishing house Leduc produced a singleversion in which measures 22 to 54 are repeated unlike in the first edition. The piece is not particularly difficult and is very effective.

Carnival of Vienna op. 26-Faschingsschwank Aus Wien (Carnival Of Venice) Op.26 is an exciting yet rather unusual Piano work in five movements composed by Robert Schumann in 1839. Although the structure of this piece is more integrated than a Suite it is not quite a Sonata for Piano. These are five beautifully complimenting movements which will provide an enjoyable challenge for the advancing pianist.This Urtext edition of Robert Schumann's Faschingsschwank AusWien Op.26 provides you with an accurate realisation of the composer's original intentions with thorough and detailed editorial markings and suggestions.

The Suite Bergamasque is one of the most famous Piano suites by Claude Debussy. Debussy wrote the first version of it in 1890 but the final version wasn?t finished or published until 1905.The suite recalls rococo decorousness with a modern cynicism and puzzlement and contains one of Debussy's most popular pieces Clair de Lune (ca. 6.40 minutes). The other three movements are: Prelude(ca. 6 minutes) Menuet (ca. 5.15 minutes) and Passepied (ca. 5.30 minutes).Every movement in the suite reflects Debussy?s non-traditional ?impressionist? style largely influenced by symbolism.According to the traditional belief Suite Bergamasque is a basic reflection of end of the century French symbolist poet Paul Verlaine?s Fêtes galantes (Gallant parties).This Urtext edition takes theoriginal edition as its basis and the comments at the end of it provide detailed information on the sources and alternative readings. A preface by François Lesure is also included.Just as most other Piano works ofDebussy Suite Bergamasque is a challenging but rewarding piece. Movements may be played separately or together.
