Piano music occupies a small, but nevertheless musically important place in Janácek's oeuvre. Our edition of 'In the Mists' by the seasoned Janácek editor Jirí Zahrádka is an impressive example of thi...

In 1735 Johann Sebastian Bach published his French Overture BWV 831 together with the famous Italian Concerto as the second part of his 'Clavier-Übung'. The designation Ouvertüre (Overture) can be som...

The fantasy played a relatively small role in the piano music of Viennese Classicism. Beethoven's sole contribution is perfectly suited to its genre designation in that the work, written in 1809, prov...

At first glance, this spirited work does not seem to fit the picture that Beethoven's contemporaries have passed down to us; this is why the work was long looked upon deprecatingly as a 'salon piece'....

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...

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...

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...

Arnold Schönberg's Piano Pieces op. 11 are a milestone in the development of piano music. Schönberg had also already composed other atonal works, but always for voice with sung text. By contrast the P...

Schönberg's Suite op. 25 of 1923 refers to pre-classical forms in its movement titles Präludium, Gavotte-Musette, Intermezzo, Menuett-Trio and Gigue, yet at the same time it was the first work to be...

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...
