Partitions de G. Henle

The composer and violin virtuoso Johann Stamitz not only established the world-famous Mannheim school in the 18th century but is known among clarinettists above all for presumably being the first to present them with a true solo concerto. Even though Stamitz left it at just this one concerto, it has enjoyed great popularity since its rediscovery in the 20th century and has become a standard work in the concert repertoire. Due to its moderate technical demands, it is ideally suited for music students as a ?first? solo concerto, and as preparation for the more demanding solo parts of Mozart, Weber and Spohr. The newly prepared piano reduction was undertaken with a view to make it easy to play so that also less experienced piano players can undertake the accompaniment of the soloist; a renowned clarinettist, editor Nicolai Pfeffer also contributes suggestions for the cadenzas ? the result is an ideal Urtext edition for student recitals and music schools.

Beethoven?s Piano Sonata no. 7 in D major is the third from his Opus 10, which appeared in 1798, and simultaneously the heavyweight of this group of works. As one of the most powerful sonatas from the early years, it captivates with its very broad spectrum of moods and highly elaborate interplay of motivic elements. At the centre is the famous Largo e mesto, mournful, plaintive and almost tragic in the profundity of its emotion. It is framed by an energetic first movement and a nimble Menuetto. The conclusion is formed by a vivacious-playful Finale which is reminiscent of Haydn?s humourful escapades. In an in-depth introduction, Murray Perahia discusses this masterpiece. A further edition from the Gertsch-Perahia workshop for the new edition of Beethoven?s Complete Piano Sonatas, as always with fingerings by the cult pianist.

Par LISZT FRANZ. La genèse et la publication des deux premiers volumes des Années de pèlerinage de Liszt sont étroitement liées. À peine un an après leur retour de Suisse, Liszt et sa compagne, Marie d?Agoult, entreprennent en août 1837 un voyage en Italie qui durera plus de deux années. Si, dans le volume Suisse, le compositeur s?était principalement attaché à dépeindre en musique la nature, les paysages et l?histoire du pays, il transcrit dans la partie Italie des impressions provenant de la poésie (Pétrarque, Dante) et des arts plastiques (Raphaël, Michel-Ange). L?ensemble de sept pièces composées entre 1838 et 1849, qui s?achève sur son point culminant, la sonate dite Dante, a fait, avant sa publication en 1858, l?objet de multiples remaniements partiels. Le cahier Venezia e Napoli, paru trois ans plus tard sous forme d?un supplément, est disponible séparément sous la référence HN 985. Par ailleurs, la présente édition révisée prend pour la première fois en compte une copie manuscrite du n° 2 (copie destinée au graveur), comportant des corrections de la main de Liszt. Le pianiste suisse Francesco Piemontesi a pu être sollicité pour la réalisation des doigtés. / Date parution : 2022-02-03/ Recueil / Piano

Ausgabe ohne Fingersatz. Bach?s Six Partitas form what is presumably the most famous and challenging collection of suites in music history. Bach was aware of the weightiness of his cycle as he initially had these multi-movement partitas, composed in Leipzig between 1726 and 1730, published in individual editions. This culminated in their publication in an anthology that proudly sports the opus number ?1? in 1731. Their diversity of forms knows no bounds and the musical texture is infused with the most ingenious counterpoint, but at the same time performers will not miss out on the enjoyment of virtuosic playing in any way. G. Henle Publishers presents this magnum opus in a revised Urtext edition that consults the original editions as well as autograph sources while also extensively documenting the numerous entries in correction copies from Bach?s circle. In addition, the ornamented versions have been included in the appendix. For purists, Henle also offers this milestone work in an edition without fingerings.

Little early Sonatas. The piano sonatas in this volume were presumably written for teaching purposes and probably even before Haydn?s appointment to the court of Prince Esterházy in 1761. The designation ?Little early Sonatas? does not stem from Haydn, but rather from the editor of this Urtext edition, the doyen of Haydn philology Georg Feder, who gathered together these short works, which were written for ?aficionados?, into a group of sonatas. G. Henle Publishers is now issuing these charming compositions, which are particularly suitable for piano instruction, in a revised edition. It contains not only commentary texts reflecting the current state of research, but also new, inspiring fingerings by nine well-known pianists.

Piano Sonata in C major Hob. XVI:48. This Haydn sonata has previously not been available in the Henle catalogue as an individual Urtext edition. Nevertheless, it numbers among Haydn?s famous piano works. It was written in 1789 (thus making it one of the ?late sonatas?) for the Leipzig publisher Christoph Gottlob Breitkopf. Its two-movement structure fathoms the entire spectrum of Haydn?s musical language: from the brooding-improvisational first movement to the sparkling, humorous Finale. Haydn exploits here the full range of the keyboard and its tonal possibilities. The world-famous pianist Piotr Anderszewski has contributed his fingerings for this Henle Urtext edition and invites you to explore this extraordinary work!
