An inspring collection of Beethoven Sonatinas for Piano Solo. Edited by Louis Kohler and Adolph Ruthardt.

Among Joseph Haydn’s extensive oeuvre is an almost inexhaustible stock of piano sonatas. With altogether over 50 works they form a significant segment of his overall output. One of this composer’s great achievements is that in these sonatas – as in many other genres such as the symphonies and string quartets – Haydn bridges discrepant stylistic eras and lays the founding stone for the classical piano sonata. Volume III stands out for its eleven exceptionally lovely and important pieces. Five of them are in two movements including the often played Sonata in G major Hob.XVI:40. The eleven pieces are basically all masterworks amongst which the e minor Sonata Hob.XVI.34 the E-flat major Sonata Hob. XVI:49 and a second E-flat major Sonata (this one written in England) Hob. XVI:52 deserve special attention. The third volume of Haydn's complete Piano sonatas presented as an accurate and authoritative Henle Urtext edition. Clothbound.

Dvorák’s famous Symphony from the New World abounds in melodic turns and phrases that call up the atmosphere of “Indian melodies” and spirituals. Among them are pentatonic (five-tone) tunes and syncopated rhythms. Tender melodies from this same sound-world also reside in this Sonatina for violin and piano op. 100 written during his first residency in America between 1892 and 1894 transforming the four-movement Sonatina into a charming chamber-music piece. Dvorák dedicated the work to his children Otilie (aged 15) and Antonin (10) and it is in keeping with the abilities of the young pianist daughter and little violinist son. Nevertheless Dvorák writes: “grown-up adultsshould also be able to take enjoyment in these pieces in the same way that they can”. The carefully-prepared Henle Urtext edition boasts an extensive preface concerning the source materials and is based on the autograph and the first edition published by Simrock. Sonatina In G Op.100 was written in New York in 1893. Scored for Violin and Piano it comprises four movements: Allegro Risoluto - Larghetto (Indian Lament) - Scherzo and Trio: Molto Vivace - Finale:Allegro . It was intended for the composer’s children making the simple melodic lines and unadorned harmonies an accessible favourite of many young violinists. A delightful and rewarding piece it is perfect for any recital. Antonin Dvorak (1841-1904) was best known for his New World Symphony composed in the short time he spent in America – the rest of his career was spent in his native Bohemia and the rest of Europe.
