Chopin revolutionized the etude but he ennobled the waltz. He spent much time on this genre throughout his life and created a wide spectrum of forms, from virtuosic showpieces the Grandes Valses Brillantes to deeply melancholic atmospheric pictures. All these works have one thing in common: one cannot and should not dance to them! Our volume contains all of the waltzes that were published during Chopin’s lifetime, or posthumously, including popular masterpieces such as the so-called “Minute Waltz” (op. 64 no. 1). In cases where two authentic versions of the same waltz have been transmitted, we naturally give the Urtext of both versions.

Claude Debussy - Suite Bergamasque for solo piano. EP7261 Peters Edition.

A spectacular finding concerning Mozart occured in the autumn of 2014 when a hitherto totally unknown manuscript by Mozart's own hand was discovered in Budapest. It is the larger part of the autograph of one of Mozart's mostwell-known piano sonatas - the Piano Sonata in A major which begins with the moving Siciliano theme and contains the everlasting Turkish March as its last movement. Everyone is familiar with this piano work - and yet no one hasyet known it entirely. It's only now that the definitive Urtext of important parts of this masterwork was able to be published. The deviations from the score of the sonata as generally used up until today can be regarded as gravedifferences. They are described in the edition. The detailed critical commentary is available free-of-charge for download on www.henle.de.

In 1801 the ten-year-old Carl Czerny impressed Ludwig van Beethoven in a performance of Beethoven's Pathétique Sonata. At the age of 15 he had launched a career as a piano teacher. Czerny was chosen by Beethoven not only to give the first performance of his First Piano Concerto, and the Vienna premiere of his Fifth Piano Concerto but also to teach his nephew Carl. It is impossible to understate Czerny's importance as a teacher and his many educational works for pianists at all stages are as important today as when they were first produced. The First Tutor is aimed at beginner pianists and carefully builds the fundamentals of technique. This classic Edition Peters publication is used by teachers and students across the world.

One of the most important piano teachers of all time, Carl Czerny's many books of studies and technical exercises cater for all levels of development. The 30 Études de mécanisme, Op. 849 were composed to prepare advancing students for the famous 'School of Velocity' in which the development of virtuoso rapidity is undertaken. This edition of Op. 849 is edited by Adolf Ruthardt and is an important part of any piano student's library.

For the first time this celebrated concerto will now appear in a source-critical edition. Ullrich Scheideler depicts how the work evolved, describes its sources, and comments on the musical text. The well-known violinist Igor Ozim has marked up Mendelssohn’s approved violin part, adding fingering and bowing marks as an aid to today’s performers. He has also supplied a separate commentary showing that Mendelssohn’s autograph already contains useful suggestions for shaping the solo part. The piano reduction a revised version of the one that accompanied the first edition lies well under the fingers while remaining as faithful as possible to the original text.
