Arianna A Naxos - Cantata A Voce Sola

The famous ancient legend of Princess Ariadne, who is forsaken by her beloved Theseus, is a favourite subject in the history of opera. In his Italian solo cantata “Arianna a Naxos”, probably written in late 1789, Joseph Haydn succeeded in crafting a captivating psychological drama of one of the most deeply hurt women in Greek mythology. In two recitatives and two arias the princess must endure everything from trepidation to wrath, from grief to desperate love in a musically emphatic manner. Our Urtext edition will provide the soprano performing it with the utmost support throughout. A preface with interesting details about the cantata’s genesis and valuable suggestionsfor the performance of the recitatives rounds off this carefully prepared edition.

Symphony No. 7 A major Op. 92

The premiere of this work in December 1813 ranks among the greatest successes Beethoven ever celebrated in public as a composer. One reviewer wrote at the time that in its themes the new symphony was “so favourable and easily comprehensible that every music lover falls for the powerful allure of its beauty”. The incisiveness of the themes is fundamentally related to the basic ostinato rhythms, which help shape each movement’s distinctive character. Richard Wagner even called the composition, with its ecstatic finale, an “apotheosis of the dance”. Based on the musical text of the Beethoven Complete Edition and furnished with a new preface, this recently prepared editionreflects the latest in Beethoven scholarship. Now, in this study edition, it is available to everyone at a reasonable price and in a handy format.

Klavierquintett A-dur Opus 81 : Piano Quintet in A major op. 81

Very few really important works have been written for piano quintet alongside the famous works by Schubert, Schumann und Brahms, the quintet that Anton n Dvorák composed in 1887 certainly numbers amongst them. It shows the mature master at work, who knew how to combine formal unity with melodic ingenuity and sweeping rhythms. With its ethnic-inspired themes the piano quintet has become one of Dvorák’s best-loved chamber music works, indeed even of Romantic literature in music. So it was high time for a Henle Urtext edition 60 years after the Czech Complete Edition was published, it was time for a fresh look at the sources, including the autograph in the National Museum in Prague.

Violoncello Sonata A Major Op. 69

Of Beethoven's five cello sonatas, the Grande Sonate op. 69, published in 1809, is not only the centerpiece, but also musically the most significant. The artful coupling of the two instruments is on display from the outset in analmost programmatic manner, when the cello with its tenor timbre first intones a melody that the piano then continues. In this sonata, too, Beethoven dispenses with a slow movement while nevertheless compensating us with anenchanting Adagio cantabile introduction to the finale. The Urtext edition by Jens Dufner is based on his research for the Critical Report of the Beethoven Complete Edition and thus features a musical text at the highest scholarlylevel. In the preface and Critical Report, he outlines the genesis and source situation of the sonata. Ian Fountain and David Geringas provide the fingerings.

Undine - Sonata For Piano and Flute Op. 167

From among Reinecke’s abundant oeuvre, a very few works have from the beginning maintained their position in the concert repertoire. First and foremost among these is the Flute Sonata op. 167 with the sobriquet “Undine”, composed in 1882 and inspired by the eponymous fairy tale by Friedrich de la Motte-Fouqué about the ill-fated love of a mermaid. It is not, however, meant programmatically, but rather, like Schumann’s poetic titles, as a framework of associations for this highly romantic, in places very virtuoso sonata in traditional, four-movement form. As the autograph is lost, the printed editions form the basis for the new critical edition of this sonata, which is solidly anchored in the flute repertoire and is now finally available as a Henle Urtext edition.

Rondo A Minor K. 511

“A rondo for piano solo,” noted Mozart in his personal work catalogue on 11 March 1787 and there is little more to add about the origins of this piece, which Mozart sent off to print shortly thereafter. With its playful yet slightly melancholic character, it is one of Mozart’s most outstanding works for the piano.

W. A. Mozart: Piano Pieces From The 'Nannerl Music Book'

Piano Pieces From The 'Nannerl Music Book' contains 17 pieces composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart when he was between five and eight years old. When W. A. Mozart 's sister Maria Anna Mozart, known as Nannerl, started receiving Piano lessons, her father gave her a music book in which he and others gradually wrote down little recital pieces. This book was soon passed on to her brother and, noticing his remarkable talent for composing, the children's father wrote down some of his son's first works in the book. This Henle Urtext edition is taken from the complete volume of Mozart’s Piano Pieces (HN22) and contains a new preface by the editor Ullrich Scheideler. The pieces in this volume are easy to play, making them ideal for beginners.

The Lark : Arrangement for Piano

“The Lark” is one of the most popular Russian songs of the Romantic era, composed by the founder of the Russian nationalist school, Mikhail Glinka. His fellow countryman, Mili Balakirev, took this simple, melancholy air as the basis for a highly virtuosic piano transcription la Liszt. It is an impressive bravura piece of moderate length that is ideally suited as an encore or in recitals. While researching this new Urtext edition, G. Henle Publishers succeeded in unearthing two sensational sources: Balakirev’s autograph manuscript, believed to have been lost, was rediscovered, as was a print copy with revisions in the composer’s own hand that documents the definitive version. Not only the edition, but the fingerings, too, are of the very highest quality; they were prepared by Russian star pianist Evgeny Kissin.

Polonaise In A Flat Op.53 - Henle Urtext

Along with the beautiful facsimile edition of the autograph score to be published on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of Frédéric Chopin’s birth (HN 3221), we are also publishing a completely revised Urtext edition of this popular work. Norbert Müllemann, to whom we are already indebted for the revisions of the “Préludes” and “Ballades”, closely examined the musical text using the currently available sources and provided an informative preface and added footnotes to the musical text which contain possible performance alternatives. The Polonaise, also known as the “Heroic” due to its proudly pacing theme, is amongst Chopin’s most forceful bravura pieces, in particular onaccount of its breakneck ostinato octaves in the middle section.?

Concertino in a minor op. 21 in Hungarian Style : Concertino in a minor op. 21 in Hungarian Style for Violin and Piano

With this one-movement Concertino, Oskar Rieding turns to already advanced students of the violin. Aside from playing in third position, it also requires a considerable degree of dexterity and mastery of bowing. The Hungarian style” mentioned in the title alludes to the fact that Prussian-born Rieding gave more than three decades of service at Budapest’s National Theatre. Its marked rhythms recall Hungarian folk music and will appeal to more spirited young violinists. The Slovenian Rieding specialist Maruša Zupan i contributes an interesting preface on the little-known composer to this Urtext edition: the markings in the solo part are provided by the experienced violinistEvelyne Grüb-Trauer.

Robert Schumann: Sonata For Violin And Piano In A Minor Op. 105 (Henle Edition)

Robert Schumann ’s Sonata For Piano And Violin In A Minor Op. 105 (also known as Violin Sonata No. 1) was written in only a few days, in September 1851. It consists of three movements – 1. Mit leidenschaftlichem Ausdruck (dotted quarter=68), 2. Allegretto (eighth note =96) and 3. Lebhaft (quarter note = 94), with the main theme present in all of them, linking the whole sonata together. The wealth of imagination, energy of sentiment and depth of thought in the sonata was acknowledged by Wasielewski – fellow musician and Schumann ’s first biographer. This publication takes the composer’s personal copy of the score and the separate Violin part as its principal sources, coming as close to the original intentions of Schumann as possible. An editorial preface by Wiltrud Haug-Freienstein is also included in German, English and French. This Sonata is challenging but rewarding for both Piano and Violin. Total performance time is approximately 18 minutes.

Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach: Flute Sonata A Minor Wq. 132

There are many unanswered questions surrounding Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach 's Flute Sonata A Minor Wq. 132 . For whom was this solo work written? The addressee of the sonata is frequently thought to be King Friedrich II of Prussia, yet Bach would not have made music that was exclusively intended for the king available for all. The intrigue is heightened by the fact that this sonata for Flute solo was published twice in the 1760s. The riddle is not to be solved. Today this three-movement work is one of the solo pieces that all flautists have to have played once – it is truly regal music. This Henle Urtext edition features informed comments on performance practice by the flautist Karl Kaiser.

Variations In F Minor

Haydn’s last piano work is also considered to be his most famous single work for this instrument. The minor theme is filled with emotional depth: “a melancholy andante in f minor, with variations, as only a genius can do them, that almost sounds like a free fantasia” (thus described in a review of the time). The form is also demanding: not merely one theme but two one in a major key, the other in a minor one are varied in turn. The autograph gives one to believe that the work was originally intended to be the first movement of a sonata. This single edition has been taken from the recently revised volume of “Piano pieces” (HN 224) and furnished with a detailed commentary.Henle also recently published a facsimile of Haydn’s autograph of the Variations in f minor: HN 3218.?
