Version For Cello Quartet-Set of parts for Hans Abrahamsen's 10 Preludes - Version for Cello Quartet (2013). Score: WH33003 The original version Preludes 1-10 for String Quartet was composed in 1973 : WH29531B

Op. 109-This standard work of the cello literature has been extracted from volume II of the Complete Works for Violoncello and Pianoforte (BA 9096 and BA 9097) which was published in 2016. Mendelssohn scholar R. Larry Todd edited the scholarly-critical edition of “Song without Words”.This work is not based on the surviving autograph manuscript which could not have been the basis for the posthumous first edition but rather on the only plausible source: the German first edition itself. This was published in 1868 as op. 109 and is unquestionably based on an untraceable complete final manuscript perhaps once previously owned by the dedicatee French cellist LisaBarbier Cristiani.The publication is free from editorial amendments and modern performance instructions and provides an excellent basis for musical interpretation.

Attention String quartet players: the long wait is over! Henle launches its series of late Beethoven quartets with Op. 131 in c sharp minor and Op. 132 in a minor using the definitive urtext from theBeethoven Gesamtausgabe. It need hardly be added that great care was taken to find sensible page turns. The quartets will also appear simultaneously in miniature scores with exactly the same text and commentary. Theeditor Emil Platen has given each volume detailed critical comments consisting of a preface explanatory footnotes and an impressive section of editorial remarks. All of Beethoven‘s late String quartets are scheduledfor subsequent publication in the Gesamtausgabe. Franz Beyer the authority on String quartets with regard to this new issue: 'The most significant edition over the last twenty years worldwide!'

Authoritative Henle Urtext Edition of Mozart's Sonata In B Flat K.292 for Bassoon Cello and Continuo.

Favourtie French Melodies-In creating these dozen arrangements I am unashamedly cherry-picking from a long and rich seam of French music. I feel confident that younger players and those relatively new to the cello will enjoy my selection. Forgive my tongue-in-cheek title for the book French Baguettelles (I'm half French so I don't feel too guilty!) for the music herein has more than a hint of garlic about it. Although there are certainly serious overtones to one or two pieces there is a healthy dollop of silliness to lighten the mood. Apart from Sur la Pont d'Avignon which was reportedly written in the 15th century Frère Jacques which was a popular 18th century song and Tambourin which wasin all probability also written in the 18th century (Gossec did however live well into the 19th century) all of the pieces come from composers who lived in the Romantic period. Ravel and Debussy were of course known for their impressionistic colours though for the most part it is the accompaniments which reveal this characteristic most fully. I have endeavoured to keep the piano parts playable by mere mortals conscious of the fact that cello teachers may not possess a virtuosic piano facility but may nevertheless wish to turn their hand to accompanying pupils for concerts festivals exams etc. Many of the pieces were originally written for the piano either in its solo capacity (Ravel's Pavane Pour une Infante Défunte Chabrier's Idylle Satie's Gymnopedie 1 Debussy's La Fille aux Cheveux de Lin) or in duet form (Fauré's Berceuse from 'Dolly Suite'). Three orchestral pieces Bizet's L'Arlésienne Offenbach's Can-Can and Saint-Saëns's Danse Macabre lend a welcome dramatic overtone to the book while Franck's exquisite Panis Angelicus originally conceived as a choral piece rounds off the selection admirably. In the main it is the cello's capacity for lyricism that has steered my choice of music so really open up your sound and enjoy yourself with these ageless melodies.I wish you bonne chance!Baguette: a thin loaf of

?In the evening we played Robert?s E-Flat Major Quartet for the first time ? and I was once again truly delighted at this beautiful and so youthful work? enthused Clara Schumann in 1842. Inpreparation for this work Schumann had studied String quartets by the Viennese Classical composers. This is why all of the parts in the quartet are treated equally forming a splendid ensemble. Our edition has anextensive critical commentary on account of the difficult source situation. The fold-out page in the Cello part was designed with music practice in mind. The Piano Quartet and the Piano quintet op. 44 referred toas ?sister works? were both composed in Schumann?s ?chamber music year?. For this reason we were publishing them both in the 2006 ?Schumann Year?.

Each of the solos in this collection has been carefully selected from the most popular of the great orchestral pieces and expertly arranged for the intermediate to advanced cellist with Piano accompaniment. The arranger Geoffrey Pratley has included performance notes for each piece.The 8 pieces in Great Orchestral Solos For Cello - Book Two includePiano Concerto No 2 and Swan Lake byTchaikovsky Symphony No 8 Le Soir and Symphony No 13 by Haydn Poet and Peasant Overture (Suppé) Sous les Tilleuls (Massenet) St Matthew Passion (Bach) and Tosca (Puccini).Pull-out part for Cello.

Immediately after finishing his second Violin Sonata op. 108 Fauré started work on a sonata for Cello and Piano in early 1917 thus realising a long-conceived plan. In their predisposition and attitude both works are very closely related. In the Cello sonata a sombre dramatic opening movement is also followed by a calm relaxed slow middle movement and a graceful finale. The critical response to the first performances was subdued but on account of increasing interest in Fauré?s complete late chamber music this sonata has recently been rediscovered as a substantial part of his oeuvre. The Henle Urtext edition constitutes the first criticaledition of this work. David Geringas a master of his craft supplied the markings in the Cello part.

Franz Schubert (1797-1828) was an Austrian composer working in the early Romantic era. His Serenade was written in 1826 supposedly after a long summer's walk with some friends. It was originally asetting of a poem by Ludwig Rellstab for a solo Alto Voice.Serenade was never published during the composer's lifetime only coming to light in a posthumous collection called the SwanSong. It has since been recognised as one of Schubert's most beautiful and graceful compositions. It has been transcribed here for Cello and Piano by the Italian cellist Alfredo Piatti as one of hisThree Melodies.

Mozart’s Piano Trios have been available in an established Henle edition in parts for many years. They have now been extensively revised by the editor and include the latest musicological findings. Inparticular the autograph scores from the Library of the Jagiellonian University of Cracow which were not accessible for many years form the basis of this revision with its extensive commentary. On the occasion of this newedition Henle is proud to present a study edition of the Piano Trios for the first time.
