With his 'Lyric Pieces?, Edvard Grieg was writing a kind of poetic piano diary: between 1867 and 1901 he composed 66 short character pieces, published in ten books. Pieces such as 'Wedding Day at Troldhaugen?, 'March of the dwarfs? or 'To the spring? are among Grieg's best-known works. Alongside these fairly virtuosic pieces there are also numerous simpler dances and melodies that can be played at an early stage when learning the piano. Until now only five single books were available from Henle (HN 619, 627, 644, 681, 713), but now we are publishing the complete collection in a collected volume, with fingerings by the Norwegian pianist and Grieg specialist Einar Steen-Nøkleberg. / Piano

The Celle court organist Wolfgang Weßnitzer was a paragon of diligence when it came to compiling keyboard pieces. His collection, put together around 1662, is sure to impress the friends of early keyboard music and musicologists alike. It contains over 200 little pieces by Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck and Heinrich Scheidemann - to name but the most famous composers - and was practically unknown until now. For our first edition, Martin Böcker has selected 32 previously unpublished pieces. The 'Celler Clavierbuch' offers an impressive panorama of the rich and vibrant music that was written for the harpsichord, the spinet, the clavichord, etc. in Northern Germany in the mid 17th century. / Clavier

por Claude Worms'Aljibe' heralded all that Manolo Franco would bring to his musical artistic life: an extraordinary sound - round and truly flamenco - and an emphatic, clear, clean and polished technique. This album was all it took to rank him among the most importaposers of flamenco guitar music. These pieces - true documents for any flamenco guitar player - are unknown to later generations because that recording was not issued again and the originals, dormant, were waiting to be awakened to take their place among the splendors of flamenco. The compositions in this album, true masterpieces, until now were available only in an old recording made by the Spanish national television network. / Guitare

for piano. Par ROTA NINO. This little waltz was not discovered until recently. The manuscript was passed from the dedicatee ('dedica: alla gentile Signora Giovanna Albano Sottomano per omaggio cordiale di Nino Rota Bari 12/7/1945') to her heirs and has remained in their possession ever since. This is why it has not been included in Rota's catalogue of works until now. Thus, it is all the more delightful that we can now publish this lively piano work for the first time and in doing so, add another piece to Rota's popular compositions for piano./ Répertoire / Piano

Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. Until now the edition The Music Books of Mozart and His Sister has only been available as part of the boxed set of Mozart's oeuvre for piano (BA 5749) which has gone out of print. Now, for the first time, it can be purchased separately. Based on the New Mozart Edition, this is the only publication to contain all the pieces, sketches and fragments found in the notebooks. The Foreword by Mozart scholar Wolfgang Plath provides valuable information on the pieces themselves and on the question of their authorship- besides Mozart's earliest juvenilia, some of which formed the basis of later compositions, the notebooks also contain works by Leopold Mozart and other composers. Facsimile illustrations from the autographs convey a lively picture of this collection of easy to moderately difficult keyboard pieces ideally suited for teaching purposes./ Répertoire / Piano
