Antonín Dvorák: String Quartet F Op. 96 (American Quartet)

After a twelve-year interval, Dvořák once again turned his attention to the String Quartet in summer 1893. He had been musical director in New York since autumn 1892 and spent the summer in Spillville (Iowa) where a group of Czech immigrants had settled, thus making him feel at home. The beautiful natural surroundings led him to write this unconventional String Quartet in the tradition of Beethoven’s “Pastoral” – even down to the imitation of birdcalls. Since the first performances, certain rhythmic and melodic characteristics have been traced back to the influences of the folk music of Native Americans and African Americans, which led to the soon popular work being called the “American Quartet”. For the first time since 1955, the Quartet is once again being published in an Urtext edition.

Franz Schubert: String Quartet In G Major Op. post. 161 D 887 - Study Score

Schubert only took ten days to write his String Quartet in G major, one of his truly monumental chamber music works. With its almost symphonic dimensions, this late quartet is reminiscent of his great String Quintet in C major. As divulged in a letter, Schubert actually wanted to "pave the way for the large symphony" with this quartet and several other chamber music works that he composed around the same time. Written in 1826, the quartet was not performed in public during the composer?s lifetime; and it was only published long after his death. This Urtext edition with its accompanying study edition is therefore based on the surviving autograph.

Antonín Dvorák: String Quartet In A Flat Op.105

During his time in America (1892-95) Dvorák suffered with homesickness. It was whilst living in New York that he began his String Quartet In A Flat Major but he did not complete the piece until after his return to Bohemia in December 1895. There is no trace of the influence of Indian or African-American music in this, his final chamber work; rather, the piece is striking for the amount of cantabile themes and motives, and their contrasting and artistic treatment. It seems that his relief at seeing his children and family again directly influenced the work. Dvorák himself wrote in a letter during its composition that 'Almighty God has granted us this cheerful moment, and thus we all feel unutterably happy'. This Henle publication is the first Urtext edition of the Quartet since 1955.

Ludwig van Beethoven: String Quartet E flat major op. 127

The E-Flat Major String Quartet, Op. 127 , is a key work not only in Beethoven ’s oeuvre but in the entire history of the genre. The first of the late quartets, it "transfers the formal and symbolic aspects of his two major works for Chorus and Orchestra [the Missa solemnis and the Ninth Symphony] to the more intimate domain of chamber music" (William Kinderman). For years, music lovers have been waiting for a new edition based on the scholarly text from the new Beethoven Gesamtausgabe. The wait has paid off! The highly complex source situation was examined for the first time and thus Beethoven ’s "final intentions" are now available in an urtext edition. The set of parts (HN 740) and the score (HN 9740) both come with a detailed preface and editorial notes.

Felix Mendelssohn: String Quartet Op.Post.80 (Urtext Edition)

Ludwig Van Beethoven: String Quartet In F Major Op.135

Beethoven ’s Op. 135 , one of the last works he composed, is equally famous for its compositional clarity and for the inadequacy of previous editions. The problem lies in the surviving sources, for Beethoven ’s autograph score contains a great many contradictions compared to his autograph set of parts. In 1827, after Beethoven ’s death, the German publisher of the first edition posthumously ironed out these discrepancies as he saw fit, and later editions simply adopted his interventions. Rainer Cadenbach’s volume is the first attempt to produce an authoritative text for Op. 135 . Beethoven ’s contradictory formulations are laid bare, allowing musicians to make their own decisions.

Johannes Brahms: Symphonie Nr.3 F-Dur Op.90

Franz Joseph Haydn: Quintett Fur Klavier, 2 Horner, Violine Und Violoncello

Haydn ’s charming and sole Piano Quintet is for such an unusual combination of instruments - two Horns and Piano trio - that hardly any musicians are familiar with it. Horn players will get their money’s worth in this very early work by Haydn (ca. 1765), and pianists and String players are also kept busy. Our edition is based on the flawless musical text in the Haydn Complete Edition. We hope that a great many Horn players will discover our edition and that the work will finally be able to emerge from the shadows!

Johannes Brahms: Streichquartett Op.67 (Henle Urtext Edition)

Brahms had already composed over 20 String quartets (he confessed to a friend that he had burnt all of that “stuff”) before he finally presented his Opus 51 to the public. In the end only three surviving works managed to withstand his high self-criticism; numerous layers of corrections bear witness to his struggle with each detail. We are now publishing the two passionate, dark Quartets Op. 51 separately from the rather more lively Opus 67 . The basis for this edition is the volume in the New Complete Edition of Brahms ’ works, published in 2004 by Henle, for which previously missing sources in a Swiss bequest were consulted for the first time.

Antonín Dvorák: Romantic Pieces for Piano and Violin op. 75

Anton n Dvorák’s chamber music output comprises over forty works. That he became known so quickly beyond the borders of Bohemia was due not least to the many discerning music aficionados who enjoyed playing his works. In the 19th century, domestic music-making was everywhere, and Dvorák’s Romantic Pieces for violin and piano op. 75 were also intended for music-making in private circles. Dvorák’s autograph has served as the basis of our Urtext edition of op. 75. Its preface provides many details concerning the genesis of the work, which was originally conceived as a string trio. We were able to engage Dvorák specialist Milan Posp sil as editor of this edition.

W.A. Mozart: Horn Quintet In E flat K.407 (386c) - Urtext Study Score

We not only owe three of Mozart's horn concertos to his friendship with Ignaz Leutgeb; the solo part of this unusual chamber music work was also written especially for him. Instead of having two violins, the accompanying string quartet has two violas, which complement the dark and warm timbre of the horn and lend the work a unique tonal effect. Echoes of motives from the "Abduction from the Seraglio" allow us to suppose that it was composed around the same time as the Singspiel. As the autograph is missing, this edition is based on the first edition. In addition the critical apparatus provides a careful evaluation of the secondary sources, affording important insights into Mozart's intentions.

Ludwig Van Beethoven: Piano Sonata In C Minor, Op. 10, No. 1

The Piano Sonata No. 5 in C Minor (Op.10, No.1) was written in 1798 and dedicated to Anna Margarete von Browne, the wife of a Russian diplomat who was Beethoven's main patron at the time. One of his earlier works, it is in three movements: Allegro molto e con brio - Adagio molto – Prestissimo . Ludwig van Beethoven (1770 – 1827) was a German composer and pianist, and arguably the most famous composer of all time. He was the last great figure of the Classical era, and helped pave the way for the Romantic style that followed. His compositions include 9 Symphonies, 5 Piano Concertos, 1 Violin Concerto, 32 Piano Sonatas, and 16 String Quartets.

Ludwig Van Beethoven: Romances For Violin And Orchestra Op.40 And 50

The Romance for Violin and Orchestra No. 1 in G major was written in 1802 and published in 1803 as opus 40, while the earlier Romance for Violin and Orchestra No. 2 in F major was written in 1798, but not published until 1805 as opus 50, leading to some confusion as to the actual chronology. Ludwig van Beethoven (1770 – 1827) was a German composer and pianist, and arguably the most famous composer of all time. He was the last great figure of the Classical era, and helped pave the way for the Romantic style that followed. His compositions include 9 Symphonies, 5 Piano Concertos, 1 Violin Concerto, 32 Piano Sonatas, and 16 String Quartets.

Antonín Dvorák: Romance In F Minor Op.11

In 1873, following the rejection of his opera 'The King and the Charcoal Burner', Antonín Dvorák reached somewhat of a turning point in his career. Inspired to give his compositions a new direction, he started to write pieces such as his String Quartet In F Minor Op. 9 in a new style that was less orientated towards Wagner. However, much to his disappointment, this new style was rejected by musicians. Notwithstanding this painful experience Dvorák gave the slow movement of the quartet a second chance, reworking it as a Romance For Violin Or Orchestra In F Minor . It was first performed in 1877 to great acclaim. The fingerings and bowings by Antje Weithaas lend the Henle Urtext Edition of this jewel of Violin literature a special touch.
