'Stucke fur die Jugend' intends to carefully introduce the piano pupils to new music. At the time that the piano pieces were created in 1927, Joseph Haas sat on the jury at the Donaueschingen Music Festival together with Paul Hindemith. In his typical manner, the pieces looked forward to the future without burning bridges to the past. The stylistic elements to be mentioned in particular are the sparing use of harmonies which give special emphasis to the linear, the staccato, the arpeggios, and the frequently used progressions of fourths. The influence of his teacher Max Reger can be noticed as well from time to time.The rhythmic energies running through the pieces are of great appeal and educational value.This new edition combines the pieces originally published in two volumes in one volume.

Volume 9 in the series of Supplements is mainly devoted to hitherto unpublished or inaccessible works. Apart from the piano score of the Berlioz symphony it contains smaller-scale late masterpieces (Excelsior!, Resignazione), the Album leaves written in Woronince in 1847, the large-scale but unfinished and not fully worked out Figaro and Don Juan fantasia, incorporating several Mozart themes, the piano piece No.1 in A flat major, two unpublished works incorrectly identified up till now by the special literature, the Maometto fantasia and the Siege de Corinthe (both transcriptions of Rossini works), and the volume also includes three other unpublished works (the Piano piece in Fmajor, the Cavatina from Robert le Diable by Meyerbeer, and Freudvoll und leidvoll, written down for Pauline von Iwanowska. The Prefaces preceding the scores, which give very accurate, detailed information about the genesis of the works, make interesting reading in themselves, but their true significance consists in the new scholarly discoveries made by the editors. Similarly to the other NLE volumes, both the cloth-bound (Z. 14504a) version and the one bound in hard-paper (Z. 14504) contain in three languages the series preface, the preface to this volume, and the captions below the facsimiles, but the critical notes in English are to be found only in the linen-bound edition.

Der Band enthält neben der Klavierpartitur der Symphonie von Berlioz, kleinere, spätere Meisterwerke (Excelsior!, Resignazione), die 1874 in Woronince entstandenen Albumblätter, die umfangreichen, mehrere Mozart-Themen aufgreifenden, aber unbeendeten und unausgearbeiteten Figaro- und Don Giovanni-Phantasien, das schon seit langem unzugängliche Klavierstück No. 1 in As-Dur, zwei von der Fachliteratur verkannte, unveröffentlichte Werke, die Maometto-Phantasie und die ‚Siege de Corinthe' (beide sind Transkriptionen von Rossini-Werken) und drei, ebenfalls bisher nicht erschienene Stücke, das Klavierstück in F-Dur, die Cavatina aus Meyerbeers ‚Robert der Teufel' und dasfür Pauline von Iwanowska komponierte ‚Freudvoll und leidvoll'. Das Vorwort, welches die Entstehungsgeschichte der Werke sehr genau und auf jedes Detail eingehend vorstellt, ist auch selbst eine interessante Lektüre. Seine wahre Bedeutung machen aber die neuen wissenschaftlichen Entdeckungen aus.
