Haydn’s Concerto for Violoncello and Orchestra in C major (Hob. VIIb:1) was probably composed between 1762 and 1765 when he was already director of music to Prince Esterh zy. It may have been writtenfor the cellist in the court Orchestra Joseph Weigl (1740-1820) for whom Haydn most likely also wrote the solo Cello parts in his early symphonies. Weigl was a member of the Esterh zy ensemble from 1761 to 1769 andthereafter served as a principle cellist in various Viennese ensembles.The concerto was rediscovered by Oldrich Pulkert who in 1961 found an eighteenth-century manuscript copy (Prag National Museum Fonds Radenin) andpublished the concerto in 1962. Previously the existence of this piece was known only through Haydn’s entry in his private list of works (the so-called ‘Entwurf’ [‘draft’] catalogue).The Orchestral setting ismodest: besides the Strings (with a non-obligato Bassoon doubling the Bass part) there are two Oboes and two Horns which are reserved almost exclusively for the tutti passages.This Piano reduction is based on the text givenin the complete edition of Haydn’s works as edited by the Joseph Haydn Institute Cologne (Joseph Haydn Werke Series III Vol.2 with Preface and Critical Report published by G. Henle Verlag Munich 1981). The Cello partin the Piano reduction is identical to that of the complete edition and thus follows the Prague source as closely as possible even in the expression marks and in certain peculiarities of notation.

Charles-Joseph Lebouc organised the première of this work and also played the cello part. With the composer's permission he then adapted this sonorous romance accompanied by two pianos in the original for Violoncello and onePiano.Henle are presenting the first ever Urtext edition of this popular cello work. The second Piano part is reproduced in small print thus permitting a comparison of the two versions. Two Cello parts are provided onewith markings and one without.

Sonata no.1 in c minor op. 32-At the beginning of the 1870s Camille?Saint-Saëns showed a particular fondness for the Violoncello. He completed his first Cello Sonata in December 1872 immediately after finishing his first Cello Concerto.The sonata is strongly reminiscent of Beethoven not only due to the key of c minor but also predominantly on account of its gripping dramatic art. The exceptional position of this demanding in parts highly virtuosicsonata was quickly recognised by the public and critics and so the work soon found its way into concert repertoire.?Henle's Urtext edition takes all surviving sources into account for the first time ever. PascalRogé and David Geringas kindly provided the markings for the Piano and Cello parts.

For Violoncello And Piano-This brief utterly charming and tuneful piece was probably committed to paper in 1894 though Fauré based it on an older version for cello and organ. The subsequent tempo change to ?Andante quasi Allegretto? made the work?soriginal title of ?Andante? obsolete. The change of name to ?Romance? was also better suited to its songlike nature. After its first performance in November 1894 the piece rapidly became popular and is a well-loved encore piece atconcerts today. This ?Romance? continues the Henle Urtext series of short pieces for cello by Fauré for which we have been able to engage David Geringas to add the performance markings.

The Romantic composer Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy (1809-1847) has been highly regarded in Britain from the time of his first visit in 1829. He was a favourite of Queen Victoria and also made several trips to Scotland inspiring some of his best-known and most evocative works. Mendelssohn’s Cello Sonata No.2 in D Major (Op. 58) was composed in 1843 for Cello and Piano. It is scored in four movements: AllegroAssai Vivace - Allegretto Scherzando - Adagio - Molto Allegro E Vivace. It is heavily influenced by Bach borrowing elements of both structure and melody from some of Bach’s works. This Urtext edition ispublished by Henle Verlag.

This Henle Urtext Edition contains Edvard Grieg's Sonata in A Minor Op.36 and a selection of other works all for Cello and Piano.

All cellists are familiar with Debussy’s sonata which he only composed in 1915 three years before his death. Debussy had however already written two works for Violoncello and Piano in 1882 when hewas only 20 years old. They largely remained hidden from the public eye because the autograph of the “Intermezzo” – the sole source for this work – was inaccessible for decades. Today Henle Publishers arein the fortunate position of being able to present an Urtext edition of the “Intermezzo” also including the “Scherzo” that was posthumously published in 1995. The fingerings and bowings were provided byJeffrey Solow (Violoncello) and Eckart Sellheim (Piano).

for Violoncello and Piano with marked and unmarked string part-The ?Romance sans paroles dédiée Mlle. Lise Christiani? thus described in the surviving autograph was only published as op. 109 from the composer?s estate in 1868. The French cellist Lise Christiani gave several concerts inLeipzig in October 1845 where she met with Mendelssohn and presumably commissioned him to write this charming work. It is the only ?Song without words? that Mendelssohn wrote for two instruments not piano solo. It was previouslyonly available as part of a collection of works for this instrumentation (HN 669). However the ?Romance sans paroles? a favourite with cellists is now also available as a single Henle Urtext edition.

Après le succès rencontré par sa première sonate pour violon (HN 980), il allait de soi que Fauré devait poursuivre avec la composition d?oeuvres pour musique de chambre. En 1880, il composa une petite pièce pour violoncelle et piano qui était censée devenir le mouvement lent d?une sonate. Fauré abandonna son projet de sonate et, au lieu de cela, publia la pièce sous le titre d?«Élégie». Il connut un tel succès que l?éditeur de Fauré l?encouragea écrire de nouvelles pièces et que le chef d?orchestre Édouard Colonne lui passa commande de la version pour orchestre de l?«Élégie», créée deux ans plus tard. Comme c?est l?usage, notre édition Urtext comporte une partie devioloncelle avec ou sans indications. / Violoncelle / Henle Verlag

? l??poque de Joseph Haydn les concertos de soliste ?taient g?n?ralement destin?s ? un musicien bien pr?cis. Dans le cas du c?l?bre concerto pour violoncelle en r? majeur Hob. VII:2 de Haydn il s?agit du premier violoncelle de l?orchestre du prince Esterh?zy Anton Kraft qui devint par la suite l?un des plus grands virtuoses de Vienne. Cette ?uvre de circonstance devint par la suite un chef-d??uvre pour l??ternit? dont est parvenue ? la post?rit? une partition autographe de la main du compositeur dat?e de 1783. Pour la publication de la r?duction pour piano de ce concerto nous avons eu le plaisir de collaborer avec la sp?cialiste de Haydn Sonja Gerlach.

Besides two genuine Cello 'hits' from the pen of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy the 'Variations Op. 17' and the 'Song Without Words Op. 109' this urtext edition contains a little sensation: thepremière publication of a delightful and previously unknown original piece for Cello and Piano. Mendelssohn wrote it down in the album of his friend the distinguished cellist Julius Rietz in 1835 while at the pinnacleof his creative powers. All cellists will be happy to welcome this 'Album Leaf' into their repertoire.

Op 102-Although Schumann had learnt the cello for a while in his youth he only began to compose for this instrument in later life. Apart from the cello concerto only his Five Pieces op. 102 have survived as original works for thecello. Clara was delighted with them: 'These are pieces in folk style with such a freshness and originality that I was enchanted'. The 'Neue Zeitschrift für Musik' wrote: 'These pieces are less apt for a virtuoso player than awell versed one who can speak on his instrument with tone and meaning.' This edition in the best Urtext quality is particularly to be recommended for teaching purposes and for making music at home.
