Versions 1913 and 1931-Finally G. Henle Publishers is able to offer one of Rachmaninov’s most important most substantial piano works in a meticulous Urtext edition that does justice to the work and to the editorial difficulties it raises. Rachmaninov was unhappy with the dense textures and the length of his Piano Sonata in b-flat minor so almost 20 years after its composition and publication he made numerous cuts and “streamlined” it – though this has been criticised by pianists down to the present day. For this reason it is mostly the first version that is played today – or even a mixture of the two versions such as Vladimir Horowitz used to perform (albeit with the permission of the composer).This Henle Urtext edition also takes into account the autograph in the Moscow Glinka Museum. As in all the Rachmaninov editions in the catalogue of G. Henle Publishers the fingerings here are by Marc-André Hamelin one of the outstanding pianists of our time.

for Piano Four-hands-The decisive role that Norwegian folk music played for Edvard Grieg can be felt in almost all of his works. The Norwegian Dances op. 35 of 1880 presented here in an Urtext edition are arrangements for piano four hands of old folk tunes that Grieg took from a collection published by the musician and researcher Ludvig Mathias Lindeman. For this Henle Urtext edition all the extant autographs in the Grieg Archive in Bergen Norway were consulted along with the contemporary first editions. The co-editor here is the Norwegian pianist and Grieg specialist Einar Steen-Nøkleberg who is also responsible for the fingerings.

Bartók’s Rumanian Folk Dances composed in 1915 are among his best-known works. They exist in multiple forms since as well as several piano arrangements and a later orchestral version of his own there also exist arrangements by his contemporaries that were made with his consent. Today we can even access performances of the dances by Bartók himself; these recordings document varied repeats enriched by octave doublings to make a sort of “concert version” of the dances. Bartók expert László Somfai brings order to the rich fund of sources and in Henle’s Urtext edition enters significant variants directly into the musical text itself.

Piano Sonata No. 1 in f minor op. 2 1-La première sonate pour piano que Beethoven a publiée avec numéro d’opus révèle immédia-tement toute la singularité de ce compositeur qui malgré tout ce qu’il doit à ses prédécesseurs se différencie nettement de Haydn et Mozart. Le mouvement lent est une adaptation du 2e mouvement du quatuor avec piano WoO 36 no 3 lui-même directement inspiré de Mozart et composé alors que Beethoven était encore à Bonn. Cependant il est évident que Beethoven emprunte de nouvelles voies notamment dans les deux mouvements extrêmes animés d’une forte intensité dramatique.

Dramma lirico in quattro atti- Manon Lescaut is the fi rst volume of the series “The operas of Giacomo Puccini” - Critical Edition - in collaboration with Archivio storico Ricordi and Fondazione Simonetta Puccini. It makes available the three main versions of the opera thathave survived in various sources: an 1893 version with the original Act I finale the fi rst version of Manon’s Act IV aria and the uncut version of the fi nal duet in Act IV; a “midcareer” version imagined by Puccini in the fi rst decade of thenew century when he sanctioned the almost complete omission of Manon’s Act IV aria; and fi nally the last version that Puccini lived to approve with Manon’saria restored albeit with a revised literary text. The volume is introduced by a preface to the Puccini Critical Edition an historical introduction a detailed description of the opera’s many sources and a lengthy critical commentary whichdiscusses numerous problematic details in the musical text.
