J.S. Bach and Charles Gounod: Ave Maria

Edited by Gérard Condé Henle Urtext Edition

Gounod had no qualms about arranging well-known works by earlier masters after his own fashion. Thus in 1852 he added a melody with its own operatic climax to the famous arpeggios of the C-major Prelude BWV 846 from Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier. He first publishedinstrumental versions of it under the title “Méditation,” then tried fitting various texts to the melody until in 1859 he arrived atthe definitive vocal version using the text of the Ave Maria. 51481012 ........................................................................................................................$9.95

J.S. Bach and Charles Gounod: Meditation (Ave Maria)

Edited by Gérard Condé

Henle Urtext Edition

Charles Gounod is said to have improvised his expressive, cantabile melody over the famous broken chords of Bach's C-major Prelude BWV 846 at a private performance in 1852. This arrangement would later became world famous when underlaid with the text of the Ave Maria. Several instrumental versions of it were initially published in 1853, including one for solo piano by Gounod himself that is presented here for the first time as an Urtext edition.51481301  ..........................................................$7.95

Leos Janácek: On an Overgrown Path

Edited by Lars Vogt

Henle Urtext Edition

Janácek’s poetic cycle “On an overgrown path” is surely among his most popular piano works. Its evocative musical language will draw every hearer under its spell. Listeners will not be able to discern that the pieces had a very complex and protracted genesis, with some originally intended for harmonium. With exemplary clarity, the accompanying texts in Henle’s Urtext edition shed light on the complicated source situation. In addition, an appendix to the musical text contains those pieces that Janacek either did not include in the cycle, or that remained unfinished.

George Gershwin: Preludes for Piano

Edited by Norbert Gertsch Fingerings by Andreas Boyde Henle Urtext Edition

“Some of Gershwin’s finest inspirations have not as yet been either published or publicly performed.” In 1925, an admirer thus heralded George Gershwin’s ambitious project in Vanity Fair, namely to compose preludes in all keys as Bach and Chopin had done before. On 4 December of the following year, the composer publicly performed five of these pieces. However, the extremely busy darling of Broadway only published the famous three Preludes for Piano (1927) during his lifetime. We are now proud to present them for the first time in a state-of-the-art Urtext edition. 51480858

Paul Hindemith: Sonate in B for Wind Quintet

Schott

Hindemith’s sonatas belong in the repertoire of many instrumentalists. Since Hindemith only wrote one single work for this instrumentation, Small Chamber Music for Wind Quintet, it was obvious that one of his sonatas should be arranged for it. Paul Leonard Schäffer retains the solo part in his arrangement of the sonata for clarinet in Bb and piano and distributes the piano accompaniment to the remaining instruments.

Arthur Honegger: Sonatine for

Clarinet in A and Piano Salabert

Arthur Honegger remains an unclassifiable composer, totally unique as far as the French musical landscape is concerned. Equally at ease in the domains of string quartets, opera, ballet, or film music, his style can be considered the perfect synthesis of a variety of influences. His Sonatine H.42 for clarinet in A, very compact, was composed between 1921 and 1922.

Antonin Dvorák: Piano Quartet E-Flat Major, Op. 87

Edited by Peter Jost Henle Urtext Edition

For several years following composition of his first piano quartet, Dvorák’s publisher Simrock pushed him to compose a follow-up piece in the genre. With his op. 87, Dvorák delivered a challenging and mature work in which a mastery of form is combined with memorable themes and surprising harmonic turns, leading it quickly to conquer the hearts of both performers and audiences.

Béla Bartók: String Quartet No. 1, Op. 7

Edited by László Somfai Henle Urtext Edition

Béla Bartók’s six string quartets, composed between 1908 and 1940, are 20th-century milestones of the genre. His First String Quartet is closely linked to his unhappy love for the violinist Stefi Geyer. When he completed all three movements of the work a year later, he had, according to his friend and colleague Zoltán Kodály, written himself “back into life.” In this First Quartet, Bartók combines late-Romantic sounds with elements of the folk music that had since 1905 been a source of increasing interest to him.

Béla Bartók: String Quartet No. 2, Op. 17

Edited by László Somfai Henle Urtext Edition

Bartók’s Second String Quartet was composed –with several long interruptions – between 1915 and 1918, after he had spent several years almost solely devoted to collecting folk music. The first edition of this quartet, published in Vienna in 1920, contains a conspicuous number of errors that were only partially corrected in a later revision undertaken by Bartók. These late changes by Bartók are taken into account in this definitive edition of the string quartets supervised by Bartók scholar László Somfai, with problematic passages in the sources carefully documented.

Maurice Ravel: Violin Sonata In G Major

Edited by Ulrich Krämer Fingerings by Pascal Rogé Henle Urtext Edition

Inspired by Béla Bartók’s violin sonatas, Ravel planned his own sonata for violin and piano in 1922, but at first did not get beyond sketches. Once the work was finished in 1927, he dedicated it to his violinist friend Hélène JourdanMorhange. Regarding the sonata’s sparse, thinned out compositional structure and instrumentation, Ravel later emphasized that the sonata proved the tonal incompatibility of the violin and piano, yet it still succeeded in winning a permanent place in violin repertoire.
