The chamber music world has been eagerly awaiting this ? all of Haydn's string quartets are finally available in Henle Urtext quality! This edition contains the String Quartets op. 54/55, sometimes also known as the "First Tost Quartets". Contrary to what the opus numbers might suggest, it is a cohesive cycle of six works. Mozart's influence is felt more deeply, the forms are more diverse and the first Violin is every now and then required to do real acrobatics. In this volume in particular several treasures can be found that are not often played.

Robert Schumann: Intermezzi Op.4 (Piano)

Encouraged by the success of his “Papillons”, Schumann composed his Intermezzi op. 4 , also known as “longer Papillons”, in 1832. Despite the at times improvisatory style, Schumann worked very carefully on this composition, “The Intermezzi are going to be something special – each note is going to be weighed up carefully”. The fact that Schumann was very preoccupied with counterpoint at the time cannot be missed. Bach’s influence can be especially felt in numbers 1 and 5, something that contemporary critics greatly appreciated. This edition has been revised in Schumann ’s anniversary year to reflect the latest scholarly findings. An extensive source critical text has also been included.

Johannes Brahms: Scherzo In E Flat Minor Op.4

Johannes Brahms was not even 20 years old when he wrote The Scherzo Op.4 in 1851. The young composer and pianist used it as a kind of 'calling card' to introduce himself to influential musicians. He also played the Scherzo to the Schumanns several times in 1853, and thus might have inspired his older colleague to write the famous article ?Neue Bahnen? (New Ways). In it, Schumann praised ?single piano pieces, some of them turbulent in spirit while graceful in form?.

J.S.Bach: English Suites 4-6 BWV 809-811

Although people might like to think that the “ English Suites ” were composed after the “French Suites” (HN 71), “the temperamental and in part virtuoso flow of these Suites is more characteristic of the musical language of the young Bach ” (from our preface). The kaleidoscopic variety of the six “English” suites is breathtaking. One lifetime is not enough to exhaustively comprehend and penetrate them. We provide the sustainable musical basis for this, in different formats: the complete paperbound volume (HN 100), clothbound (HN 101), divided into Nos. 1–3 (HN 102) and Nos. 4–6 (HN 103) and last but not least in a very good value study edition with the identical musical text (HN 9100).

Frédéric Chopin: Piano Sonata In C Minor Op.4 - Urtext

The early Piano Sonata op. 4 offers interesting insights into the young Chopin's compositional development. In all probability written during his student years at the Warsaw Conservatory and highly prized by Chopin himself, the nineteen-year-old composer presented the work to the publisher Tobias Haslinger on a visit to Vienna. But the publisher put off the still unknown composer.It was only when Chopin was at the height of his fame that Haslinger saw a possibility to do business - but this time it was Chopin who declined. Thus his first sonata was never published during his lifetime. To date an inside tip, this work is now available for the first time in Henle quality.

Ludwig Van Beethoven: Symphony No. 4 In B Flat Op. 60

Beethoven 's Symphony No. 4 In B Flat Op. 60 was composed in 1806, a very productive year for the composer during which he wrote numerous other great works – such as the 4th Piano Concerto and the Violin Concerto. Today, this work is unjustly overshadowed by its famous neighbours, the “Eroica” and the 5th Symphony, although it was one of Beethoven ’s best-loved and most often performed works throughout the 19th century. The Henle Urtext edition features a preface by the editor Bathia Churgin. This edition is based on the musical text of the Beethoven Complete Edition and continues the series of study editions of Beethoven symphonies in a convenient format.

Ludwig Van Beethoven: Symphony No. 3 E Flat Op. 55 (Sinfonia Eroica)

In 1803 Beethoven wrote his Third Symphony and, as is widely known, it was originally in honour of Napoleon Bonaparte. Yet it was published three years later with a dedication to Beethoven ’s patron Prince Lobkowitz as well as with the addition “ Sinfonia Eroica ” in memory of a “grand Uomo”. This presumably – reflecting the changed political situation – referred to the Prussian Prince Louis Ferdinand who died on the battlefield against Napoleon. Based on the musical text of the Beethoven Complete Edition and with a preface by the editor Bathia Churgin , Beethoven ’s famous heroic symphony is now available as a Henle pocket score.

Franz Joseph Haydn: Concerto for Piano (Harpsichord) and Orchestra G Hob. XVIII:4

In contrast to Mozart, Haydn was not a keyboard virtuoso. He certainly conducted his orchestral works from the harpsichord, and also performed his own piano sonatas, but any ambition to be a concertizing pianist was foreign to his nature. Thus “only” three piano concertos by Haydn have come down to us. The Concerto for piano and string orchestra Hob. XVIII:4 is full of spirit and the joy of playing. We know neither the occasion for which it was written, nor the year of its composition, the extensive preface to our edition of the playing score, with one string part each, discusses this in detail. As in the sources of the time, the solo part here also includes the bass line (withfigures) for tutti sections. Axel Ruoff makes suggestions for the solo cadenzas required in movements 1 and 2, Haydn composed the cadenza for the concluding Rondo movement. This Urtext edition is based on the musical text of the Haydn Complete Edition, which is likewise published by G. Henle Publishers. The trade press applauds it: “In view of the scarcity of easier piano concertos, one can be thankful for this new edition, especially since it can be presented with a very small orchestra, perhaps even with a string quartet.”

Bartok: Mikrokosmos Volume 3-4 Piano

Bartók’s Mikrokosmos is one of the milestones in the pedagogical piano repertoire – and yet it is also far more than a “classical” piano primer. These 153 piano pieces, organised in ascending order of difficulty, engage not only with technical aspects of piano playing, but also with the fundamentals of composition – from “Ostinato”, “Free variations” and “Imitation and inversion” concerning compositional technique, to programmatic ideas as in “From the diary of a fly” or the famous “Six dances in Bulgarian rhythm” that form the passionate close of this unique work. This Henle Urtext Edition is based on the corresponding volume of the Bartók Complete Edition that is currently in preparation, and also includes specific practical comments and tips concerning Bartók’s own performances. Furthermore, the six volumes of the first edition, which first appeared in 1940, are here gathered together in three practical double volumes that offer both beginners and advanced pianists a perfect introduction to this work.

Johannes Brahms: The Symphonies - 4 Volume Slipcase

Johannes Brahms only approached the symphony genre slowly and with a great many qualms. After he had revised and rejected numerous earlier attempts, he did not introduce himself to the public as a symphonic composer until November 1876 with his Opus 68. Three further symphonies were to follow in less than ten years. Today, Brahms' four symphonies are core works in the symphonic repertoire ? and at the same time are milestones documenting the progress of the Brahms Complete Edition, based in Kiel and initiated in 1996 with the First Symphony. Since then the renowned Brahms scholars Robert Pascall and Michael Struck have published all four works in the Complete Edition. Henle have taken this opportunity to bring together Brahms? symphonies in one reasonably priced slipcase: Researched to the highest level in four convenient study scores.

Ludwig Van Beethoven: Klavierkonzert No. 4 Op. 58

Ludwig van Beethoven composed his five large piano concertos over a period of twenty years. His Fourth Concerto in G major op. 58, largely written in 1805/06, is here presented in a piano reduction for two pianos. This edition, in the quality one has come to expect from an Urtext, is based on the Beethoven Complete Edition and is designed for practical use. Indications of the instrumentation have been added to the second piano part for purposes of musical orientation. In his extensive preface, Beethoven researcher Hans-Werner Küthen discusses the special source situation of the Fourth Piano Concerto. This is the only one of Beethoven’s five concertos for which the autograph scorehas not survived. For this Urtext edition, this offered an incentive for a most exacting examination of all other extant sources.

Robert Schumann: Complete Piano Works Volume 4 - Henle Urtext

On the 200th anniversary of Robert Schumann's birth, an ambitious project is coming to a close: For the first time since Clara Schumann's Complete Edition of 1879-93, all of the works for Piano solo are appearing as one editorial project.Spanning almost ten years of painstaking work, all of the Schumann titles published by G. Henle Publishers have undergone a careful revision. The Schumann expert Ernst Herttrich has closely examined each edition and also dedicated himself to those works that were previously missing from the catalogue.The result is being published in this new collection, comprising six volumes as well as study editions in a slipcase. They replace the former four volumes (HN108-HN115). Arranged clearly according to opus numbers, it includes not only all of Schumann's Piano works, revised to reflect the latest scholarly findings, but also informative accompanying texts, alternative versions and much more besides.Being a complete works collection, a general difficulty level cannot be applied to these volumes. As a result we have assigned them a difficulty of "advanced" as a guide to the general proficiency required to play all the pieces.Contents:Fantasy C major op. 17 Arabesque op. 18 Flower Piece (Blumenstück) op. 19 Humoresque B flat major op. 20 Novelettes op. 21 Sonata g minor op. 22 Night Pieces op. 23

Joseph Haydn: Fantasia In C (Capriccio) Hob. XVII:4

Composed in early 1789, during a 'whimsical hour', Haydn 's Fantasy In C Major was intended to meet with approval from 'both connoisseurs and amateurs' – not least because it is 'not too difficult'. When Haydn switched from the Harpsichord to the Fortepiano in the 1780s, he found he had a rich palette of sound colours and dynamic variations at his disposal - something which he employed enthusiastically in this piece. In this Henle urtext Edition, Christine Schornsheim provides historically accurate fingerings. This stand-alone edition follows the musical text of the Haydn Complete Edition, and provides an ideal means for players to get to grips with Haydn 's experiments with the sounds of the Piano.

Sergei Rachmaninoff: Prélude In D Op.23 No.4

This wonderfully dreamy nocturne is taken from Sergei Rachmaninoff 's Op.23 collection. Written in the style of Chopin, the engaging immediacy of this work's poetic magic and the fact that it is only moderately difficult make it an ideal introduction to the late-Romantic, colourful sound world of Rachmaninoff 's 24 Préludes. The Henle Urtext edition of Rachmaninoff 's Prélude in D major is based on the autograph sources in the Glinka Archive in Moscow. The fingerings are by Marc-André Hamelin, who is both one of the exceptional pianists of our day and also an expert in Russian late-Romantic Piano music.
