This collection also features all the benefits of the editions stemming from the collaboration between Perahia and Gertsch: from extensive information on the genesis, publication, and source situation, to thefirst-rate fingerings by Maestro Perahia.

Works for Violin and Piano

This substantial volume contains all of the works that Tchaikovsky composed or arranged himself for Violin and Piano. The three larger Violin works opp. 26, 34, and 42, which G. Henle Publishers also offers inindividual practical editions, are particularly well-known and popular. By contrast, the three brief single movements with which Tchaikovsky presents charming adaptations of his own pieces promise to be genuinediscoveries. Tchaikovsky’s Violin works have long suffered under corrupt musical editions heavily reworked later by violinists all the more important, therefore, that the editor responsible for thisUrtextedition is Russian Tchaikovsky specialist Alexander Komarov. He consulted all of the relevant original sources in international archives, thereby guaranteeing the highest reliability of this musical text. Ingolf Turban, aViolin virtuoso of the first order, supplied stylistically appropriate markings in the Violin part.

Piano Sonata D major KV 576

From Mozart’s letters we know that he made firm plans in the summer of 1789 to earn money by composing six new easy piano sonatas for Princess Friederike of Prussia. Only this one was written, however, and one would hardly call it “easy.” On the contrary, the sonata in D major K. 576 demands enormous dexterity from the performer, and, all told, it may be the most technically challenging of all Mozart’s sonatas. In English-speaking countries, this rather contrapuntal, structurally-complex composition is called the “Hunt Sonata.” If you listen to the beginning of this eighteenth and final piano sonata by Mozart, you’ll immediately know why.

Valse-Scherzo op. 34

Alongside the famous violin concerto, numerous other violin works by Tchaikovsky have found their way into the standard repertoire for violin. An outstanding example is the Valse-Scherzo, which sparkles with witty playfulness. He composed it in 1877for the violinist Josef Kotek, a close friend and student. Our editor, the Russian Tchaikovsky scholar Alexander Komarov, has ensured that this Henle Urtext edition is absolutely faithful to the sources. He was able to consult all of the sources inthe Russian archives and to bring clarity to the work’s complex genesis. This edition is the prelude to an edition of all of Tchaikovsky’s works for violin and piano, including the Sérénade mélancolique op. 26 and Souvenir d’un lieu cher op. 42

21 Etüden für Violoncello : 21 Etudes for Violoncello

“More than 20 years ago I was called upon by friends, artists, and aficionados to write about fingerings for the violoncello,” then-famous Berlin cellist Jean-Louis Duport thus opens his “Essai” from 1806, dedicated to “Professeurs de Violoncelle”. His methodology revolutionized cello technique, and the 21 etudes printed in its appendix are still regarded today as perhaps the most important set of studies for all budding cellists. Modelled after the volumes of etudes for violin, Henle is also issuing the Urtext here, together with all original fingerings and bowings, while also offering alternatives by the famous cellist and teacher Wolfgang Emanuel Schmidt. This edition also offers a second cello part provided by Duport for accompaniment.

Piano Sonatas Nos. 1-10

In the years 2001-2014, G. Henle Publishers issued Urtext editions of the ten piano sonatas by Alexander Scriabin. The Scriabin specialist Valentina Rubcova from Moscow, the editor of these ten editions, studied all of theavailable sources for each work. In many cases, Henle's were the first-ever Urtext editions, offering these highly complex musical texts in an immaculate, uncluttered, newly engraved format that was truly a landmark event! Whoeverwould like to study all these ten sonatas can now buy them in a single volume, enabling them to trace Scriabin's development from his Romantic early oeuvre to his mystical late works. This is an edition that belongs in the libraryof every discerning pianist!

Norwegian Dances op. 35 : Version for Piano

The decisive role that Norwegian folk music played for Edvard Grieg can be felt in almost all of his works. For his Norwegian Dances op. 35, presented here in an Urtext edition, Grieg took old folk tunes from a collection published by the musician and researcher Ludvig Mathias Lindeman and arranged them for piano four hands in 1880. A few years later, Grieg also made the two-hand version presented here. For this Henle Urtext edition, all the extant autographs in the Grieg Archive in Bergen, Norway were consulted along with the contemporary first editions. The co-editor here is the Norwegian pianist and Grieg specialist Einar Steen-Nøkleberg, who is also responsible for thefingerings.

Danzas Espanolas

This Spanish composer wrote compositions for every genre, but the piano was undoubtedly his main focus. The 12 Danzas españolas, first published in four volumes between 1890 and 1895, are an important highlight in his earlyoeuvre. My inspiration is founded above all in the singing of the people, explained Granados. Nevertheless, [these dances] are quite original and are no mere transcriptions. They thus set themselves apart from the conventionalfolkloric pieces of the time, belonging instead in the tradition of the character pieces of Chopin or Schumann. Their rhythms and melodies borrow from dances from all over Spain, and thisis what gives them their unique atmosphere.All available sources were consulted for this Urtext edition, including Granados's own recordings.

Overture no. 3 for the Opera "Leonore" (1806)

For his only opera Leonore/Fidelio, Beethoven wrote four overtures in total. Chronologically, the so-called Leonore Overture no. 3 is the second of the series and perhaps the most performed of all Beethoven’s overtures. During his own lifetime, it was heard not only in the theatre, but also in concert, thereby establishing with the Coriolan and Egmont overtures the new genre of the concert overture. Recognised around the middle of the nineteenth century as a masterpiece, it went on to become the “declared favourite of all orchestras,” as Beethoven biographer Anton Schindler testifies. It now appears as astudy score based on the musical text of the Beethoven Complete Edition, with its own specially prepared foreword.

Bernhard Henrik Crusell: Clarinet Concerto In E-Flat Major Op.1

This edition completes Henle's series of all three Clarinet concertos by the Swedish composer and clarinettist Bernhard Henrik Crusell . Issued in Leipzig in 1811, the  Clarinet Concerto In E-Flat Major Op.1 was  Crusell 's first published work but had definitely been composed several years prior to this. With its elegant head movement and the simple and moving Adagio, it is probably the most “Mozartian” of all of his three concertos, although the final rondo is reminiscent of Carl Maria von Weber. The editor and clarinettist Nicolai Pfeffer is now presenting this charming work, between Classicism and Romanticism, on the basis of the first edition. The Piano reduction wonderfully fits the hands and was prepared by Johannes Umbreit on the basis of the original orchestral parts.
