This “little” D-major sonata is somewhat the pansy (or violet?) among Mozart’s eighteen piano sonatas. It is “little” in dimensions when compared to the two other sonatas in the same key of D major (K. 284 and especially K. 576). It is very seldom heard in concert and in piano lessons too is played less frequently. Admittedly it is not enveloped by the tragic gloom of the Sonata in A minor K. 310 nor does it have a wonderfully heartfelt slow movement like the Sonata in C major K. 309 these being the two works with which it was printed in Paris in 1778. K. 311 however is pianistically “worthwhile” in many regards: in the opening movement one can practice several standardtechnical challenges (hand-crossings effervescent runs parallel sixths tremolos at large intervals etc.). The slow movement (“Andante con espressione”) hones expressiveness something that does not always come naturally to many keyboardists (a compositional trick also makes a surprise appearance at bar 25). With its lively 6/8 meter the finale in turn recalls not only the veritable “Hunt Sonata” K. 576 but could almost have come from the solo part of a Mozartean piano concerto. All in all: a worthwhile challenge this sonata which sounds much harder than its technical demands require.

Piano Sonatas Volume III (Early and Unfinished Sonatas)-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 one can trace a continuous development leading to the five great sonatas which he wrote in the years 1823 and 1826 and finally to the three masterworks written shortly before his death which place him on a level with Beethoven as a composer of sonatas. The intensity with which Schubert approached the genre of the piano sonata meant that he left a large number of piano sonatas incomplete. Volume III of the three-part Henle Urtext edition contains – next to the earlysonatas from the years 1815-1818 – the fragments completed by Paul Badura-Skoda whose completions are highlighted each time by small cue notes. The Critical Report in the Appendix also provides precise information about the genesis of the individual works.

String Quartet no. 1 in e minor-When Smetana completed his Quartet in e minor in dark and dismal colours in 1876 he had already been completely deaf for two years. Which musician is not familiar with the fateful passage in the fourth movement in which Smetana symbolizes the beginning of his illness with a violin note in an extremely high position? The previous movements tell of happier times in his life- an extensive extract from a letter about this is cited in the preface to our edition. Smetana who at the time received a ridiculously small fee from his publisher could not foresee that this work would later be considered one of the most famous string quartets of all time.

Revised edition of HN 1064 without fingerings-Bach’s Inventions and Sinfonias are rightly considered as indispensable to every pianist. In his famous preface to the collection Bach himself called it an “Instruction” which teaches students and keyboard lovers to “treatcorrectly” both two and three voices to “achieve a singing style in playing” and to “acquire a strong foretaste of composition”. To this end Bach created timelessly beautiful music which has lost nothing of its relevance to usnearly 300 years after its creation. We are now presenting a new edition of this classic collection which draws upon all known sources and offers the best in “instruction” especially with respect to the transmitted embellishmentvariants.
