Which of his pupils did Haydn have in mind when he composed his humorous “Divertimento à due per il Clavicembalo solo”? It was written at a time when works for piano four-hands were still the exception – and instead of “Primo” and “Secondo” the oldest copies use the terms “La parte del Maestro” and “dello Scolare”. Haydn’s wit keeps surfacing- for instance in the idea that the teacher plays first then the pupil and in the last bars of the variation movement the hands of the players cross over without their being any musical necessity for this. Haydn’s sole work for piano four hands is now published in a revised edition based on the volume that has just appeared in the HaydnComplete Edition (HN 5501 and 5502). It is an excellent work for educational purposes but will also provide good sightreaders with a great deal of pleasure.? For Piano duet.

Villanelle for Horn and Piano-Paul Dukas wrote his Villanelle as a demanding exam piece for the horn class of the Paris Conservatoire in 1906. The title referencing a cheerful traditional vocal genre that originated in 16th century Italy already shows that it is by no means a dry etude. Alongside the technical challenges (stopped notes fast scales playing without valves using natural horn techniques) the piece is successful because of its refreshing melodies for which reason the Villanelle is still one of the most popular performance pieces for the horn. For our Urtext edition we consulted the autograph as well as the first edition that was originally for horn and piano: the later version with orchestralaccompaniment does not stem from the composer.

This rousing Polonaise which is preceded by a nocturne-like Andante was originally a work for piano and orchestra. It was written at the same time as Chopin’s two piano concertos in e minor and f minor and breathes the same fresh youthful spirit. Since the orchestral part is subordinate and fulfills only an accompanying function the Polonaise lends itself brilliantly to performance as a solo piano piece and indeed is almost always performed as such in today’s concert halls. In this spirit – and following the first editions – our Urtext edition is laid out not as a piano reduction (with two piano systems) but contains only the solo part at those few passages where thesolo piano rests the orchestral accompaniment is reproduced in small print.
