In 1922 Maurice Ravel heard the young Hungarian violin virtuoso and niece of Joseph Joachim, Jelly D'Aranyi, in concert in London. Following the performance, Ravel spent the remainder of the evening requesting D'Aranyi to play numerous gypsy tunes on her violin, probing her on the technical limits of the instrument. The result of this encounter is Ravel's virtuoso classic 'Tzigane?. Written originally for violin and piano or luthéal (a mechanism invented in 1919 that attaches to a piano, producing a sound similar to the rich overtones of the Cimbalon), the premiere took place in London in April 1924. The composer had finished the work only days beforehand. Ravel later orchestrated 'Tzigane? and both versions remain a 'must? for music-lovers and aspiring violinists today. Jelly D'Aranyi performed both versions regularly throughout her long career. This Urtext edition presents the first scholarly-critical edition of Ravel's masterpiece. It is published both in the orchestral version, complete with full score and performance material, as well as in the composer's earlier version for violin and piano. All known sources, including letters, have been drawn on for the new edition - one of the available sources, consulted for the first time, was a copy of 'Tzigane? from the estate of Jelly D'Aranyi, which is today part of a private collection. The version for piano and violin contains, besides the Urtext part, a second violin part as a facsimile with performance instructions by Jelly D'Aranyi. D'Aranyi's alterations and fingering reflect how Ravel must have heard the work in rehearsals and performance and as such are a document of early 20th century performance practice. The cooperation between Ravel and D'Aranyi is comparable to that of Brahms and Joachim working on the Brahms violin concerto.- First scholarly-critical Urtext edition of the work - Presented are both versions: for violin and orchestra and for violin and piano- Includes Jelly D'Aranyi's fingering / Violoncelle

Haydn's Symphony #26 received its nickname 'Lamentazione? during his lifetime, though it is unclear whether this stems directly from the composer.This work probably originated no later than 1770. Its first and second movements quote excerpts from Gregorian chants used in Holy Week. In Haydn's day it was customary to play individual movements in church services, and it may be assumed that these two movements were performed, and possibly composed, independently from each other.Continuing the collaboration between Bärenreiter and the Henle publishing company in the areas of large-scale choral works, operas and symphonies, Haydn's Symphony #26 is appearing, based on the Henle Complete Edition of the 'Works of Joseph Haydn?. The complete performance material for several of Haydn's 'Sturm und Drang? symphonies and all of the London and Paris symphonies has already been published.- Based on the Henle Complete Edition of the 'Works of Joseph Haydn?- Orchestral parts available in a large format (25.5 x 32.5 cm) / Violoncelle

21 Études pour violoncelle

Edition Urtext, reliure paperback
avec une seconde partie de violoncelle d'accompagnement originale
«Voilà plus de 20 ans que des amis, des artistes et des amateurs me demandent de composer un traité sur les doigtés de violoncelle» - c’est ainsi que le violoncelliste berlinois Jean-Louis Duport, célèbre en son temps, débute son «Essai» paru en 1806 et dédié aux «Professeurs de Violoncelle». Cette méthode révolutionna la technique du violoncelle, et les 21 Études imprimées dans son Annexe sont aujourd’hui considérées comme l’œuvre pédagogique la plus importante de tout futur violoncelliste. Sur le modèle des études pour le violon, Henle propose ici aussi la partition Urtext accompagnée de toutes les indications originales de doigtés et de coups d’archet et offre, en plus, des alternatives dues à la plume du célèbre violoncelliste et pédagogue Wolfgang Emanuel Schmidt. L’édition contient en outre une seconde voix d’accompagnement prévue par Duport. / Méthodes et pédagogie / Cordes / Violoncelle / HENLE VERLAG
