For the first time, all available sources of Engelbert Humperdinck's fairy-tale opera, Hansel und Gretel, have been consulted in the preparation of the present new edition. In evaluating them it became clear that a great number of corrections needed to be taken into account, for which the composer was indebted to the experiences of conductors known to him - Richard Strauss (Weimar), Hermann Levi (Munich) and Ludwig Rottenberg (Frankfurt) - as well as hiw own insight. In this way, a critical edition has been produced which not only offers an Urtext entirely faithful to the sources, but also provides important new improvements, tested on the stage an approved by the composer. Where, previously, slight alterations have unquestionably been necessary in order to prevent the vocal lines from being covered by the large-scale orchestration, convincing and authentic solutions are now available. Also, for the first time, the work's 'Desau-Finale' has been published, which Humperdinck composed for the production by Cosima Wagner.

The edition is part of the ABRSM syllabus (grades 6,8).

Written by Freddie Mercury, Queen recorded "Don't Stop Me Now" for their 1978 album "Jazz". In 1979, the song was released as the album's second single.

"Don't Stop Me Now" includes all musical elements that are typical for Queen: Beautiful piano parts mixed with powerful drums and guitar riffs, and multitrack harmony vocals on top!

Although the song was included on their 1981 "Greatest Hits" album, it was not a huge success at first. Instead, it continuously gained popularity over the following decades, also due to its use in advertisements, TV shows and films (such as the 2004 zombie film "Shaun of the Dead").

Over time, it became one of Queen's most popular songs. Today, it is their only song besides the all-time classic "Bohemian Rhapsody" with more than a billion plays on Spotify!

Needless to say, "Don't Stop Me Now" makes for a fantastic piano cover!
