When Günter Henle founded his Urtext publishing house in 1948, the first work in the catalogue was the two volume edition of all of Mozart's piano sonatas. Even today they still bear our numbers HN 1...

The 'Goldberg' Variations are without a doubt the most important piano cycle of the 18th century. Only Beethoven's 'Diabelli' Variations from the 19th century can be compared to them as far their far-...

Who doesn't know Mozart's 'Sonata facile' of 1788? Yet those who practice this extremely popular piano sonata in C major will realize that it is by no means so 'easy' to play. Its nickname does not co...

Revised edition replaces HN 64. Fingering: Michael Schneidt Bach's Inventions and Sinfonias are rightly considered as indispensable to every pianist. In his famous preface to the collection, Bach hims...

Johann Sebastian Bach's three great cycles of suites belong to the fundamental canon of piano literature: the Partitas and the so-called English and French Suites. It is the French Suites that have lo...
