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.

The first volume of Haydn's complete Piano sonatas presented as an accurate and authoritative Henle Urtext edition. Clothbound.

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.

Nocturnes-Time and again Chopin succeeded in giving different Piano music genres their own individual characters whether etudes preludes waltzes scherzi or Nocturnes. The Irishman John Field had alreadycomposed over 20 nocturnes which presumably greatly influenced Chopin. The latter continued to develop the light song-like Piano writing and created works whose dreamy longing atmosphere came to embodyChopin???s music. Our volume contains the works that were published during Chopin???s lifetime as well as ones which were only published posthumously including the famous Lento con gran espressione in c sharpminor in two authentic versions.
