Versions 1913 and 1931-L'une des plus importantes et significatives pages pour piano de Rachmaninov la Sonate en si bémol mineur est enfin disponible dans une édition Urtext digne de la partition et des problèmes éditoriaux qu'elle pose. Presque vingt ans après l'avoir écrite et publiée le compositeur la trouvait trop longue et trop dense d'écriture et il fit de nombreuses coupures et «allégements» qui continuent aujourd'hui d'être l'objet de critiques de la part des pianistes. Si bien que c'est la plupart du temps la première version qui est jouée ou un mélange des deux versions comme se le permettait par exemple Vladimir Horowitz avec l'autorisation de Rachmaninov. L'édition Henleexploite aussi le manuscrit autographe conservé aux Archives Glinka à Moscou. Comme pour toutes les 'uvres pour piano de Rachmaninov publiées chez Henle les doigtés sont de Marc-André Hamelin l'un des pianistes les plus remarquables de notre époque.

Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873-1943) completed his Piano Sonata No. 1 in D minor, Op. 28, in 1908, and it is the first of three Dresden pieces, the others being his Symphony No. 2 and part of an opera. Although he eventually abandoned the idea, the sonata was originally inspired by Goethe's play Faust, which has inspired so many works of the 19th and 20th centuries. The premiere took place on October 17, 1908, in Moscow, with Konstantin Igumnov at the piano.

Rachmaninof f wrote his well-known piano cycle in 1931, at a time when his great works for piano solo and the piano concertos had already made him very famous. Yet it is by no means the “work of an old man”. The composers variations on the theme “La folia” (taken from a sonata by Corelli) are like a series of fireworks on the piano. He once drily said to a friend, “All this mad running about is necessary in order to efface the theme”. Did Rachmaninoff succeed in silencing “la folia” – i.e. the “madness”? Why not seefor yourself!
