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.

A collection of prose poems by the French Romantic Aloysius Bertrand inspired Ravel to write his piano cycle “Gaspard de la nuit”. Unlike earlier works he does not merely create an atmospheric depiction of the literary model in a fascinating manner he recounts the eerie-grotesque scenes using musical means. His “three romantic poems of transcendental virtuosity” were supposed to surpass the technical refinement of Balakirev’s “Islamey” (HN 793), which was considered unplayable at the time. Our edition not only offers impeccable Urtext in a clear, larger format: the corresponding poem by Bertrand prefaces each part in three languages.
