Partituras medio de G. Henle Verlag

With Frédéric Chopin's Fantaisie-Impromptu in c-sharp minor, G. Henle Verlag presents a further Urtext separate issue from among the most popular works of this central composer of romantic piano music...

The fact that Chopin's waltzes are no longer dance music, but refined concert pieces for performance in salon or concert hall, emerges nowhere as sharply as in the 'Grande Valse' op. 42. The main them...

This virtuoso etude has been given the nickname 'Black Key Study' by pianists, since, apart from one single f in M. 66, the right hand does not touch a single white key. This gives the harmony a penta...

Chopin published his Scherzi nos. 1-3 at more-or-less regular intervals, in 1835, 1837 and 1840 - almost as if he'd planned them in advance. He published his fourth and final work in this genre after...

After Alban Berg, Anton Webern is the second composer of the Viennese School to be included in the Henle catalog. Webern's music is known for its extreme brevity and strict organization. The performan...

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...

The French Overture BWV 831 was published by J.S. Bach in 1735 together with the famous Italian Concerto as the second part of his 'Clavier-Übung'. The designation as 'overture' may be somewhat decept...

Bach's harpsichord concerti, extremely popular among pianists, are presumably reworkings of pieces originally written for the violin. Bach, however, succeeded in transferring the diverse idiosyncrasie...

Among the Variations on an Original Theme, WoO 80 from 1806 constitutes a special case in that Beethoven consciously draws on older practices. A chromatically descending bass line in the theme provide...

The composition and publication of the first two volumes of Liszt's 'Années de pèlerinage' are closely interlinked. Barely a year after returning from Switzerland, Liszt and his companion Marie d'Agou...

La Suite op. 14 fue compuesta en 1916 y fue una de las obras para piano favoritas de Bartók durante toda su vida. A diferencia de sus otras obras para piano de esos años, aquí no utilizó melodías de c...

Los siete años que el compositor español Falla pasó en París (de 1907 a 1914) marcaron un punto de inflexión en sus composiciones. El encuentro con la música impresionista francesa contemporánea le ma...

Schubert's 22 piano sonatas sketch a most illuminating picture of the prematurely departed composer and of his compositional path. From the first attempts of the gifted 16- to 19-year- old musician on...

As a highly virtuoso composition, the Bb major Sonata no. 11 did not appear within a group with other sonatas, but rather held its own as Opus 22 under the title 'Grand Sonata'. Beethoven offered it t...

Based on the Prélude in c sharp minor Op. 3 No. 2 written in 1892 that quickly became world-famous, Rachmaninoff composed a further two collections of Préludes in the years up to 1910. These were also...

In 1735 Bach published the Italian Concerto, presented here in a revised separate edition, together with the French Overture in the second part of his “Clavier Übung”. The two works were intended to r...

La séptima Rapsodia húngara, publicada en 1853, se basa en tres temas de la música popular húngara: una antigua melodía instrumental y dos canciones campesinas. Encontramos aquí todas las característi...

Schubert composed his piano sonata in a minor in May 1825; it is one of Schubert's few piano works that was published during his lifetime. The four movements are expressive but each in its own way: a...

Although Mozart’s penultimate piano concerto was completed on 24 February 1788, it was not premiered until 1789 in Dresden. A further performance in autumn 1790, as part of the celebrations in honour...

Los Ocho estudios op. 42 de Alexander Scriabin fueron compuestos durante una fase de gran productividad. Durante muchos años, los compromisos docentes habían obstaculizado al compositor. Poco a poco,...

A diferencia de los dos primeros volúmenes de los Années de pèlerinage, basados en impresiones de viajes por Suiza e Italia, el tercer volumen de la última época de Liszt, publicado en 1883, es más bi...

Between 1837-39 Liszt was travelling through Italy with Marie d'Agoult. As was the case with the first volume of the Années de Pèlerinage, Schweiz (1835/36) he once again recorded his travel impressio...

Chopin succeeded in doing something truly remarkable with his two cycles of Etudes op. 10 and op. 25, published in 1833 and 1837 respectively. Probably no one before him had composed technical practic...

Anton Reicha (1770-1836) is doubtlessly known to many music lovers as a friend of Haydn's and Beethoven's. Wind players know him as the outstanding composer of 24 published wind quintets. Curiously en...
