Piano reduction-According to Mozart?s own catalogue K. 491 was completed on 24 March 1786 it was Mozart?s only Piano concerto aside from K. 466 that was in a minor key. It was probably first performed two weeks later aspart of an ?academy? at the Burgtheater in Vienna. Mozart was extremely pressed for time while composing this work a fact that is shown both by the cursory way in which the autograph was written and by therepeated corrections. Unlike earlier publications this edition contains the definitive version as in Mozart?s manuscript. The Piano reduction of this edition was undertaken by the celebrated pianist AndrásSchiff to whom we also already owe our reductions of the concertos K. 453 467 488 and 503 (HN 765 766 767 and 825). He also supplied the fingerings for the solo part the cadenzas and the lead-ins.

Sonata Movement (Grave & Presto) in B-flat major-Of Mozart's many fragmentary works it is the Requiem which stands out but there are many other fragments in his large compositional output which can ideally be used as a basis for a reconstruction. In the case of these two reconstructions for two pianos the editor has drawn on thematically suitable fragments from Mozart's piano solo repertoire and has arranged them for two pianos. In this way reconstructions are achieved which are based solely on authentic material. The result of this creative exercise is two new highly effective concert works for two pianos offering a valuable addition to Mozart's two existing works for this combination. The editor tookAbbé Maximilian Stadler's sensitive reconstruction of Mozart's fragmentary Larghetto and Allegro in E-flat major for two pianos (K. deest) as a model for his reconstructions.

for the Left Hand for Piano and Orchestra Piano reduction and solo part-In 1929 Paul Wittgenstein a pianist and war veteran who lost his right arm in the Great War commissioned Maurice Ravel to write a concerto for him to perform. The result was one of Ravel’s most thrilling compositions and for Wittgenstein the most important of the many works he commissioned over the course of his career.This scholarly-critical edition of Ravel’s Piano Concerto For The Left Hand is based on previously inaccessible and unknown sources. The editor Douglas Woodfull-Harris was able to consult manuscripts in the private library of the Paul Wittgenstein Estate which allowed him to retrace the work’s evolutionfrom Ravel’s autograph working copy to the first printed edition.A source of key importance to our new edition is a handwritten French copy of Ravel’s own Piano reduction (the autograph is inaccessible) that he gave to Wittgenstein to facilitate rehearsing the work. This copy is the sole source reflecting Wittgenstein’s own interpretation and containing his changes to the final cadenza. It also helps us to understand omissions in the first edition of the score as well as the Piano reduction and enabled the editor amongst other things to correct a great many notes which could be found in previous editions including the solo Piano part.The Piano reduction in our edition contains both Ravel’s and Wittgenstein’s fingering. Also included is a solo part without fingering thereby giving pianists the opportunity to enter their own fingering after having studied those of Ravel and Wittgenstein.Score and orchestral parts in large format (25.5 x 32.5 cm)Includes source descriptions and a Critical Commentary with alternative readings (Eng)Informative Introduction on the work’s history and genesis (Ger/Eng/Fr)With facsimile pagesPiano reduction with separate Urtext solo part enclosedFull score & parts (BA7881) and two-Piano reduction (BA7881-90) available for sale

None other than András Schiff is collaborating with Henle Publishers for the edition of Mozart?s Piano concertos. His Piano reductions are aimed at amateurs rather than professionals; his fingerings forMozart?s solo part have been exquisitely fine-tuned and are inspiring; and where Mozart?s original cadenzas are missing Schiff?s stylistically perfected ones have been included. In so doing we aspire to set anew precedent. First and foremost Mozart?s handwritten scores have been consulted being the most important sources. Moreover we know today that in addition to Mozart?s own manuscripts early copies in parts andprints also contain important information regarding the musical text. A co-production with Breitkopf & Härtel Mozart?s Piano concertos are not only available as attractive and affordable Piano reductions there are alsoan accompanying Urtext conductor?s score orchestral parts and a study score.
