On the 200th anniversary of Robert Schumann's birth an ambitious project is coming to a close: For the first time since Clara Schumann's Complete Edition of 1879-93 all of the works for Piano solo are appearing as oneeditorial project.Spanning almost ten years of painstaking work all of the Schumann titles published by G. Henle Publishers have undergone a careful revision. The Schumann expert Ernst Herttrich has closely examined eachedition and also dedicated himself to those works that were previously missing from the catalogue.The result is being published in this new collection comprising six volumes as well as study editions in a slipcase. Theyreplace the former four volumes (HN108-HN115). Arranged clearly according to opus numbers it includes not only all of Schumann's Piano works revised to reflect the latest scholarly findings but also informative accompanyingtexts alternative versions and much more besides.Being a complete works collection a general difficulty level cannot be applied to these volumes. As a result we have assigned them a difficulty of 'advanced' as a guide tothe general proficiency required to play all the pieces.Contents:Carnival of Vienna op. 26 3 Romances op. 28 Scherzo Gigue Romance and Fughetta op. 32 Album for the Young op. 68 Four Fuguesop. 72 Four Marches op. 76 Forest Scenes op. 82

Par SAINT-SAENS CAMILLE. Saint-Saëns? etudes for the left hand were written in 1912 at the request of his pianist friend Caroline Montigny-Rémaury de Serres, who had suffered an injury to her right hand. These etudes which were printed in 1913 were originally entitled ?Petites pieces? by Saint-Saëns in his manuscript and indeed the cycle, which the composer himself described as ?charming? and ?amusing?, lacks any rigour of an etude collection. Particularly the ?Bourrée? quickly enjoyed great popularity. The edition is based on the musical text from ?Saint-Saëns ? ?uvres instrumentales complètes?, volume IV/3. An insightful Foreword (Fr/Eng/Ger) on the genesis and interpretation, a Critical Commentary (Eng) as well as an elegant music engraving make this collection of little gems the perfect addition to the piano repertoire. - First Urtext edition - Musical text based on ?Camille Saint-Saëns ? ?uvres instrumentales complètes? - With an insightful Foreword (Fr/Eng/Ger) on the genesis and interpretation and a Critical Commentary (Eng) / Date parution : 2022-11-29/ Etude / Piano

Urtext (1932-1939). Bartók's Mikrokosmos has been one of the milestones in pedagogical piano repertoire for 80 years - and yet it is also far more than a "classical" piano primer. These 153 piano pieces, organized in ascending order of difficulty, engage not only with technical aspects of piano playing but also with the fundamentals of composition - from "Imitation and Inversion," "Ostinato," and "Free Variations," concerning compositional technique, to mood pieces and pieces with programmatic ideas such as "Notturno," "Boating," "From the Diary of a Fly," or the famous "Six Dances in Bulgarian Rhythm." Mikrokosmos first appeared in 1940 in six volumes. Based on volume 40 of the Bartók Complete Edition published in 2020(Z. 15040), the present Urtext edition offers the series gathered in three volumes. This edition includes Bartók's preface, exercises, and notes written for the first edition. Furthermore, it also features a preface and comments by the editor, which not only discuss the genesis and the compositional sources but also provide performers, teachers and pupils alike, with authentic and detailed information about Bartók's notation and the specific performing problems of Mikrokosmos.

George Nicholson's ten minute 2013 piece Tronie arranged for solo Piano.This solo Piano piece was written in 2013. It is a response to Rembrandt's astonishing portrait of his mother painted when he was in his early twenties and at a time when she would have been about sixty and therefore described as an 'old woman'. It may have been intended rather as a generic depiction of the ravages of old age a 'tronie' or genre painting but it strikes me as being a very moving and vividly characterised study of a real living individual a penetratingly honest and unflinching portrayal at that. In Tronie I have attempted to make a musicalstatement about old age not only the frailty the loss of powers and the resignation but also the pride and defiance of the old. The piece is dedicated to the memory of my mother-in-law Andy Ginsborg who died in February 2013. - George Nicholson
