Arrangement for Piano four-hands-In order to also promote the circulation of his works outside the concert hall Johannes Brahms made Piano arrangements of many of his orchestral works. As the composer he was able to take greater liberties than anyother arranger would have been able to take. And it is precisely due to Brahms’ creative ideas in the Piano scoring that his arrangements have enjoyed renewed interest in the music world over the past decades.Withthis Urtext edition of the Symphonies Nos. 3 and 4 based on the musical text in the Johannes Brahms Complete Edition our catalogue now contains all four symphonies in the authentic Piano arrangementsmade by the composer. Once again Andreas Groethuysen has kindly provided the fingerings.

Johannes Brahms’ late Piano works in the form of the two editions HN 36 (paperbound) and 37 (clothbound) have been a cornerstone of the Henle catalogue ever since the early 1950s. In 2011 the volume with Pianopieces (HN 6014) was published in the new Brahms Complete Edition an edition of these important works that reflected the latest in scholarly research. Having already published single volumes of the Urtext editions ofopus numbers 76 79 and 116 119 with the up-to-date musical text in the Complete Edition Henle are now rounding off this Brahms project by publishing the revised volume of collected works available as a classicpaperbound clothbound or handy study edition. An open invitation to all those who wish to immerse themselves in Brahms’ fascinating Piano cosmos.

Frühfassungen aus Lieder und Gesänge op. 59 (Erstausgabe)-This first edition of the ?Regenlied Cycle? is only available from G. Henle Publishers. In the preface Michael Struck an eminent Brahms scholar writes about the distinctiveness of the work untilnow a completely unknown little song cycle by the composer. In it Brahms sets four texts to music by the poet Klaus Groth whom he greatly admired. In the well-known song cycle Opus 59 published by Brahmshimself the Groth songs are also to be found together with other songs.The reason why Johannes Brahms? Violin Sonata no. 1 in G major op. 78 is also known as the ?Regenlied? Sonata becomes clear on acquiring studying and playing this ?Regenlied Cycle?.

Piano Pieces op. 118 no. 1-6-Johannes Brahms' Piano Pieces Op. 118 Nos. 1- 6. Henle Urtext edition.When his contemporaries heard the works that Johannes Brahms had composed during his summer holiday in Ischl in1893 the Piano Pieces Op. 118 they were delighted. Clara Schumann was one of the first to be allowed to get to know the new pieces and she attested that they contained ?a wealth of sentiment in the smallestof dimensions?. Philipp Spitta fittingly said that the works were ?perfect for slowly absorbing in solitude and tranquillity?.Opus 118 contains two of the composer?s best-known miniatures the Intermezzoin A major and the Romanze in F major. This volume based on the musical text in the New Brahms Complete Edition is highly recommended to all those who wish to immerse themselves in the world of Brahms' late works.

Brahms? popular 16 ?Waltzes? opus 39 composed in 1866 for four hands were transcribed by Brahms one year later for two hands. At the request of his publisher Brahms also wrote an easier version of the work for solo piano. Brahms himself described the first version as suitable for 'reasonable hands' that is for proficient players and the easier version as 'perhaps for prettier hands' that is for domestic music-making. He initially described the latter version to his publisher as a 'children?s edition'. The catchy and musically easily accessible pieces are among the composer?s most popular works and are particularly suitable for piano students and lovers of the Romanticrepertoire.Both versions of the ?Waltzes? op. 39 (BA 9602 BA 9603) are available in separate editions and form an important contribution to Bärenreiter?s series of Brahms?s works in scholarly-critical Urtext editions. Both editions include fingering a well-presented musical layout and optimum page-turns. The Urtext editions are complemented by explanations on performance practice used by Brahms an informative foreword on the genesis sources and significance of the works together with comments on the primary sources.A key work in the Romantic piano repertoireAll known sources and the latest research findings taken into accountWell-presented musical layout with optimum page-turnsIncludes fingeringSuggestions on performance practice and interpretation (Ger/Eng)Informative foreword (Ger/Eng) and critical commentary (Eng)The EditorChristian Köhn has been awarded several scholarships as well as winning major international music competitions in Germany.He has released 24 CDs to date including the first ever complete recording of the piano duo works of Johannes Brahms. Christian Köhn is a lecturer at the Musikhochschule Detmold.

Revised edition of HN 119-In 1879 about ten years before Johannes Brahms composed his late melancholic piano pieces he wrote the two Rhapsodies op. 79 two markedly passionate and comparatively extensive works. In a letter to the convalescent ClaraSchumann Brahms spoke in a typically understated fashion about the two pieces ?with which you can really run riot and test whether the course of treatment has actually had any effect?. We prefer to agree with Brahms? friendElisabeth von Herzogenberg: ?the fact that the g minor is my favourite does not make me insensitive towards the intensely prickly beauty of the one in b minor?. Both of these popular works have now been revised on the basis of thenew Brahms Complete Edition.
