2 Scherzi B flat major and D flat major D 593

2 Scherzi B flat major and D flat major D 593

It was not his large piano sonatas, but rather his short, characteristic pieces that established Franz Schubert’s fame. Like his art songs, they too are full of spontaneous, lyrical inspiration. The two greatly charming Scherzi, D. 593, presumably composed already in 1817, stand at the threshold of Schubert’s phase of dance compositions for the piano. The first, dance-like, graceful Scherzo is in B-flat major. The second, more emotional Scherzo in D-flat major has a Ländler-like A-flat major trio as its middle section. The preface and critical report provide information on the source situation of this accurate Urtext edition.

Georg Friedrich Händel: Piano Suites (London 1720)

Georg Friedrich Händel: Piano Suites (London 1720)

George Frideric Handel’s powerful musical personality reveals itself not only in the large forms of opera, oratorio, and orchestral suite, but also in his compositions for keyboard. The focus here is on the eight Suites of his first printed collection from 1720, which by no means comprise standardised sequences of dance movements. On the contrary -- free-form movements of great artistic weight predominate, inserting themselves between lighter dance pieces. Handel’s suites always display a distinctive individuality, and deserve a larger presence in our concert halls. We were able to engage Handel specialist Anthony Hicks as the editor of this Urtext edition.

Piano Sonata in b minor op. 5 : Piano Sonata in b minor op. 5

Piano Sonata in b minor op. 5 : Piano Sonata in b minor op. 5

During his youth, Richard Strauss composed a large number of works for piano solo, among them numerous sonatas. Yet it was only the Sonata in b-minor that he obviously considered important enough to want to see in print. It was composed in two versions, presumably between winter of 1880 and spring of 1881, and published one year later. Here, Strauss still plainly follows his compositional forebears from German Romanticism. The two middle movements of this demanding sonata in particular directly recall Mendelssohn’s Songs Without Words” and scherzi. This is the first Urtext edition of this piano sonata.

Fantasies, Preludes and Fugues : Fantasies, Preludes and Fugues

Fantasies, Preludes and Fugues : Fantasies, Preludes and Fugues

In contrast to the large collections of partitas, along with the French and English Suites, Bach’s Fantasies, and his Preludes and Fugues besides the Well-Tempered Clavier have not come down to us as interconnected cycles. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why only few of these works gained widespread popularity. Only the much-acclaimed Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue BWV 903/903a and the great c-minor Fantasy BWV 919 have found a permanent place in pianists’ concert repertoires. Some of the works compiled in this volume are undoubtedly juvenilia that do not yet hint at the mature Bach whilst nevertheless pointing out the composer’s fresh power of invention.

Andante in F major WoO 57 (Andante favori) : Andante in F major WoO 57 (Andante favori)

Andante in F major WoO 57 (Andante favori) : Andante in F major WoO 57 (Andante favori)

First conceived in 1803/04 as the slow movement of the Piano Sonata in C major op. 53 (the Waldstein” Sonata), the Andante turned out too long in Beethoven’s view and was replaced. Beethoven had it published as a standalone movement, presumably in 1805. The movement, marked Grazioso con moto,” is characterised by a large variety of compositional techniques ranging from simple chord progressions to orchestral-like octave runs. Because of its particular popularity, this single movement was published as Andante favori” in its second printing – a moniker that apparently harks back to Beethoven himself. Based on her preliminary research for the critical Complete Edition,Beethoven specialist Joanna Cobb Biermann has carefully revised the musical text of the Henle Urtext edition and updated the preface to reflect the latest scholarship.

Piano Sonata No. 22 in F Major Op. 54

Piano Sonata No. 22 in F Major Op. 54

Bookended by two famous sonatas, the Waldstein op. 53 and the Appassionata op. 57, the F-major Sonata op. 54 has always lived in the shadows, regrettably. In this first large-scale two-movement sonata, Beethoven experiments with striking character contrasts in the first movement and a virtuosic perpetuum mobile duet in the second. In both interpretation and mastery of technical difficulties, this sonata therefore poses a considerable challenge for pianists and might have been avoided for this reason as well. The sonata shares the fate of many early works by Beethoven in one respect: no autograph exists. Murray Perahia and Norbert Gertsch have thus only been able to examinean original edition as a source for their new edition. As always with the new editions of Beethoven sonatas from Henle, Maestro Perahia also provides the fingerings – and his own commentary on the meaning of this sonata.

Sonatinen 3

Sonatinen 3

Through the amiable genre of the “sonatina”, generations of piano pupils have slowly and cautiously approached its “big sister”, the sonata. With the aid of our three-volume selection of sonatinas from two centuries, intermediate piano pupils large and small can undertake an excursion through the development of piano music from the early 18th to the end of the 19th century. This third volume contains eight easy to moderately difficult sonatinas from the romantic period by composers such as Fibich, Heller, Kirchner, Raff and Schumann. A number of 19th-century composers took advantage of the generic term “sonatina” in order to evade the high demands being made on the sonata at thattime. Thus the pupil will need to deal here with works that are longer and more demanding in terms of technique and content than those in volumes I and II. For advanced piano pupils!

Piano Sonata G Major Op. 78 D 894

Piano Sonata G Major Op. 78 D 894

The large and technically demanding G major Sonata was composed two years before Schubert’s death in October 1826 and is one of only three piano sonatas that appeared in print during his lifetime. The unusual title of the first edition “Fantasie, Andante, Menuetto und Allegretto” stems from the publisher Haslinger and is probably due to the dreamy-melancholy underlying mood of the first movement which corresponded little to the traditional concepts of a sonata’s first movement. It is hardly surprising that the “Fantasy-Sonata”, as it is often still called today, later inspired artists such as Franz Liszt and Robert Schumann with its free and romantic nature, who described it as being consummate “in form and spirit”. For the present Urtext edition a thorough re-examination of all known sources was undertaken, including the autograph in the British Library, and the edition now presents itself with the usual crystal clear Henle music engraving. The preface by Schubert expert Andrea Lindmayr-Brandl and the detailed commentary section provide comprehensive information about the genesis of the work, the sources and their readings. A further highlight are the fingerings by pianist Martin Helmchen.
