La grande sonate en Ré majeur pour deux pianos K. 448 est bien entendu le fleuron absolu de cette édition «Urtext». Le premier mouvement s?élance comme une ouverture d?opéra avec tambours et trompettes l?Andante est un superbe et unique dialogue entre les deux pianos et le grandiose rondo final sonne comme un concerto pour piano sans orchestre. Dans cette édition Henle se trouve encore une autre ?uvre importante en l?occurrence sous sa forme originale de 1783 la fugue grave en Ut mineur pour deux pianos K. 426 sur laquelle plane encore l?esprit de Händel ou de Bach. Mozart la publia peu de temps après dans une version à quatre voix pour cordes en lui ajoutant une magnifiqueintroduction adagio composée pour l?occasion. Pour la présente édition cette dernière a été retranscrite à son tour pour deux pianos par le formidable musicien Franz Beyer qui a en outre produit une version exécutable pour deux pianos du «Larghetto et Allegro» en Mi bémol majeur (absent au catalogue Köchel) dont on ne possède que des fragments. L?exécution de toutes les ?uvres réunies dans ce volume requiert l?acquisition de deux éditions.

None other than András Schiff is collaborating with Henle Publishers for the edition of Mozart?s Piano concertos. His Piano reductions are aimed at amateurs rather than professionals; his fingerings forMozart?s solo part have been exquisitely fine-tuned and are inspiring; and where Mozart?s original cadenzas are missing Schiff?s stylistically perfected ones have been included. In so doing we aspire to set anew precedent. First and foremost Mozart?s handwritten scores have been consulted being the most important sources. Moreover we know today that in addition to Mozart?s own manuscripts early copies in parts andprints also contain important information regarding the musical text. A co-production with Breitkopf & Härtel Mozart?s Piano concertos are not only available as attractive and affordable Piano reductions there are alsoan accompanying Urtext conductor?s score orchestral parts and a study score.

for Piano and Orchestra-The seven years that the Spanish composer Falla spent in Paris (from 1907 to 1914) marked a turning point in his compositions. His encounter with contemporary French Impressionist music made a big impact on him. From then on itwas to leave its mark on his oeuvre which was otherwise inspired by Spanish folk music. It was thanks to the advice of the pianist Ricardo Viñes and the composer Isaac Albéniz that Falla decided to expand his ?Nocturnes? for solopiano of 1909 into a three-part symphonic suite for piano and orchestra. He finally completed it in 1915 and named it ?Noches en los jardines de España? (?Nights in the gardens of Spain?). Yuja Wang kindly provided fingerings forthe solo piano part of de Falla?s enchanting musical evocation of his Andalusian homeland.

Piano reduction-According to Mozart?s own catalogue K. 491 was completed on 24 March 1786 it was Mozart?s only Piano concerto aside from K. 466 that was in a minor key. It was probably first performed two weeks later aspart of an ?academy? at the Burgtheater in Vienna. Mozart was extremely pressed for time while composing this work a fact that is shown both by the cursory way in which the autograph was written and by therepeated corrections. Unlike earlier publications this edition contains the definitive version as in Mozart?s manuscript. The Piano reduction of this edition was undertaken by the celebrated pianist AndrásSchiff to whom we also already owe our reductions of the concertos K. 453 467 488 and 503 (HN 765 766 767 and 825). He also supplied the fingerings for the solo part the cadenzas and the lead-ins.
