Henle Verlag Sheet Music

Though not nearly as well-known as the 'London Trios,' these six delightful divertimentos are Haydn's first pieces of chamber music to expressly call for the flute. Straightforward and full of Haydn's...

A very readable foreword and extensive Critical Commentary with all necessary information enrich this Urtext edition by master Munich flautist and Mozart expert Henrik Wiese. One may learn there, for...

Mozart's famous statement to his father concerning this unique and singular quintet for piano and winds, scored for piano, oboe, clarinet in B-flat, horn in E-flat, and bassoon, should not be forgotte...

A genuine discovery! Written at the same time as the Magic Flute, this is Mozart's final piece of chamber music. Anyone lacking a glass harmonica should try it with a piano or a harp (it has even been...

This volume completes Henle's urtext series of Joseph Haydn's three piano concertos. Written in or around 1765, the delightful first concerto is ideally suited for playing at home, for the relatively...

With marked and unmarked string parts. The cellist Robert Hausmann had actually requested a cello concerto - but Brahms paired the cello with a violin in his Double Concerto. The unusual work has alre...

Mozart was neither a flautist nor a harpist, but his Double Concerto has become the best-known music for both these instruments. Now its musical text has been prepared for Henle by the star flautist A...

Ever since Mozart encountered the clarinet in Mannheim in 1778 he loved the instrument's warm and expressive tone. His friendship with Anton Stadler, the clarinetist in the Royal-Imperial Court Orches...

It is quite clear to me what is missing from today's music: a Mozart!' With his trios which he consciously kept in a classical manner, Reger hoped to prove the contrary to the 'ignorant people', who f...

I've had to turn out a serenade on short order': these lines from Mozart to his father offer a glimpse into the everyday life of a composer dependent on patronage. Mozart was about to be married when...

'Wind music of a very special nature on a large-scale, a composition by Hr. Mozart' - this was the way the 'Wiener Blättchen' announced the concert in the National Court Theatre, in which the clarinet...

This Trio's unusual scoring for horn, violin and piano prompted speculation early on about a possible background to it that had no connection with music. Brahms's biographer Max Kalbeck saw in it a la...

We not only owe three of Mozart's horn concertos to his friendship with Ignaz Leutgeb; the solo part of this unusual chamber music work was also written especially for him. Instead of having two violi...

Did Mozart intend this work to be a duo for two bass instruments, or - as the simple basso-like manner of the second part suggests - a sonata for bassoon and keyboard instrument? We will probably neve...

Written in March 1886 as a humorous occasional work for the traditional carnival concert organized by his cellist friend Charles-Joseph Lebouc, the Carnival of the Animals was so successful that Saint...

It is hardly surprising that Beethoven did not write any more chamber music for winds after 1800. Following the change to middle-class musical culture, demand declined for buoyant serenades and divert...

After an early work and a discontinued attempt in 1831/32 Mendelssohn made his breakthrough in this important chamber music genre in the summer of 1839 with the Piano Trio in d minor op. 49, which was...

Debussy wrote these two short dances to a commission from the instrument-making firm of Pleyel, which was keen to use famous names in the marketing of its newly-developed chromatic harp. The dances ar...

'Something quite curious, I believe' - it was thus that Robert Schumann described the Concert Piece for four Horns and large orchestra in a letter, and he did indeed break new ground with this work as...

The horn is surely the most 'romantic' of instruments, and it is a well-known fact that it plays a prominent role in Weber's oeuvre. Der Freischütz and Oberon would be unthinkable without their horn c...

In the summer of 1888, while also working on his tone poem Don Juan, Richard Strauss composed this brief Andante for his father, Franz Strauss, a member of the Munich Court Opera and one of the greate...

Two of Joseph Haydn's three concertos for horn and orchestra have been lost, while two further horn concertos have often been mistakenly ascribed to him. Haydn's sole surviving horn concerto, whose au...

Henrik Wiese has created a great stir in recent years with his many Mozart editions for Henle. He adheres strictly to Mozart's autograph score, allowing only a few sporadic editorial additions and dis...

Oddly, Mozart wrote out the score of his most famous horn concerto not only in black ink but also in red, green, and blue. Whether he meant this as a genial prank or had higher aspirations in mind wil...

This edition completes our series of all three clarinet concertos by the Swedish composer and clarinetist Bernhard Henrik Crusell. It appeared as his first printed work in Leipzig in 1811, but was cer...
