John Field, a pupil of Muzio Clementi, was in his day a celebrated pianist, credited with almost legendary skill. The Irish piano virtuoso and composer is principally known for his 'Nocturnes,' a genr...

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 fro...

This Henle Urtext edition is very special, for behind the 'Selected Piano Works' concept is a compilation of Chopin's most popular pieces. Moreover, the editor and publisher have placed great weight o...

Beethoven's 32 piano sonatas are often referred to as the 'New Testament of Music' (Hans von Bülow). Since the publication of our complete edition in two volumes, experts have praised it as being the...

In his last years, Skryabin realized a noble and great idea. Inspired by his study of theosophical writings, he dreamed of joining music, poetry, mime, architecture, light, colour and even aromas to c...

In 1784 Joseph Haydn dedicated three piano sonatas to Princess Marie Esterházy in which the composer surprisingly turned to a two-movement form. This is also the case with the Sonata in G major Hob. X...

Beethoven once reported that he had written down his three last piano sonatas (op. 109, 110, 111) in 1820 to 1822 in one go, and they certainly form a closely related group. The A flat major Sonata no...

These variations are among Handel's best-known keyboard works. The composer was allegedly inspired to create its unusual theme when, seeking refuge in a smithy's shop from a sudden rain-shower, he hea...

In this volume are to be found many small but pleasing piano pieces by the 19th-century composer Stephen Heller. The majority are of only medium difficulty, but their sound always has a particular cha...

At the end of his short life, Franz Schubert impressively illustrated, in his collections of 'Impromptus' and 'Moments musicaux', how lyrical-songlike form could be rendered on the piano. Nothing can...

As their title suggests, Franz Schubert's 'Moment musicaux' are quite short pieces - shorter than his 'Impromptus'. Six pieces in various moods and of moderate difficulty are collected under the opus...

Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach was probably the most famous of the Bach sons. He wrote many works for keyboard instruments, and these form the core of his compositional oeuvre. This volume is the last of H...

Debussy had originally planned the work with the Suite bergamasque (HN 381) in mind, but then published it separately in October 1904, with good reason. He was so taken with the brilliance and inventi...

'Have you played the Images ...? Without undue vanity, I believe that these three pieces can hold their own and will assume a place in the piano literature ... to the left of Schumann or to the right...

The cycle with three movements, composed at the end of 1907 and published at the beginning of the next year, contains a singular innovation: Debussy notated the highly differentiated piano part that g...

Debussy composed this cycle, and other masterful late works, in the summer of 1915. He had withdrawn to a country house near Dieppe with his family and composed with fevered concentration. The self-cr...

The great pianist Paul Badura-Skoda counts the first movement of this B-flat major sonata K. 333 as 'among the most beautiful … in the piano literature.' And who would want to contradict him? What a p...

Those wishing to get to know Mozart's gentle, slightly elegiac side should play the opening movement of this lesser-known piano sonata K. 570. The second movement, too, marries the calm strains of hor...

Debussy's early piano piece Tarentelle styrienne was published by Choudens in 1891. In 1903 the composer had it reissued under the new title Danse, with a few small revisions, by Fromont, with whom he...
