Partituras de piano para pianistas avanzados

Robert Schumann's 'Frühlingsnacht' ('Spring night') was one of his most popular songs even in the 19th century. Franz Liszt made a piano arrangement of it that in the space of under 70 measures emerge...

Beethoven's three Piano sonatas op. 2 were the first works in this genre to which he gave an opus number, thus signalling to the music world the special importance that he assigned to them. He wrote t...

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'....

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...

Edición revisada que sustituye a la HN173 Los tres volúmenes de los "Années de pèlerinage" constituyen el núcleo de la obra pianística de Liszt. En el primer volumen, "Suisse", el compositor plasmó la...

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...

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...
