With the exception of the version of the “Grand Fugue” for piano four hands (HN 954), this volume contains all of Beethoven's works for this scoring, to which he only rarely turned. It comprises the Sonata in D major op. 6, the “Three Marches” op. 45, the “Eight Variations on a theme of Count von Waldstein” WoO 67 and the “Six Variations on the Song Ich denke dein” WoO 74 - all of these works are very well-suited to piano teaching. The musical text was revised to follow the recently published Critical Report of the Beethoven Complete Edition, and is now accompanied by new explanatory texts. The piano duo specialist Andreas Groethuysen has also provided fingerings for this work.

The decisive role that Norwegian folk music played for Edvard Grieg can be felt in almost all of his works. The Norwegian Dances op.35 of 1880, presented here in an Urtext edition, are arrangements for piano four hands of old folk tunes that Grieg took from a collection published by the musician and researcher Ludvig Mathias Lindeman. For this Henle Urtext edition, all the extant autographs in the Grieg Archive in Bergen, Norway were consulted along with the contemporary first editions. The co-editor here is the Norwegian pianist and Grieg specialist Einar Steen-Nøkleberg, who is also responsible for the fingerings.

Grieg's incidental music for Henrik Ibsen's drama “Peer Gynt” contains some of his best-known compositions, such as “Morning mood” and “In the hall of the Mountain King”. Grieg later extracted the most beautiful pieces to form two orchestral suites and arranged himself these versions for piano solo and piano four-hands. There was a surprise in store for Henle when preparing their Urtext edition. In the autograph and the first print run, the second suite contained another movement, the “Dance of the Mountain King's Daughter”, which Grieg deleted shortly afterwards. This charming dance appears in the appendix to this edition - printed again for the first time in 120 years! The Norwegian pianist and Grieg expert Einar Steen-Nøkleberg was co-editor for this edition and also provided the new fingerings.

Le Carnaval des animaux was conceived in a small Austrian village, while Camille Saint-Saëns was working on his 3rd Symphony with organ, opus 78. Afraid that this humoristic fantasy could cause his oeuvre to be taken less seriously and harm his reputation, he forbade its being published during his lifetime. “Grande Fantaisie zoologique” is composed of 14 movements and the instrumental ensamble of the original version included two pianos, two violins, viola, cello, double bass, flute, clarinet, glass harmonica [celesta] and xylophone. The Final is the only movement in which all instruments play together. Lucien Garban, official arrenger ARRANGER of Éditions Durand, was responsible for numerous arrangements of the Carnaval des animaux, notably a version for solo piano that was realised in several stages but released in its entirety in 1951; while in 1922 realised the 4-hand piano transcription. Introduction and notes on interpretation in French and English by Edmond Lemaître.

According to Mozart's own catalogue, K. 491 was completed on 24 March 1786 – it was Mozart's only piano concerto aside from K. 466 that was in a minor key. It was probably first performed two weeks later as part of an “academy” at the Burgtheater in Vienna. Mozart was extremely pressed for time while composing this work, a fact that is shown both by the cursory way in which the autograph was written and by the repeated corrections. Unlike earlier publications, Henle's edition contains the definitive version as in Mozart's manuscript. The piano reduction of Henle's edition was undertaken by the celebrated pianist András Schiff, who also supplied the fingerings for the solo part, the cadenzas and the lead-ins.

The eight movements of Dmitri Shostakovich's Suite No. 2 for Jazz Orchestras are mostly clips from film music from the years 1940 to 1956. Especially well-known from this suite is the waltz no. 2, originally background music in the movie “The First Season” by Mikhail Kalatozov (1956); The waltz is cited in many other films, such as in Stanley Kubrick's “Eyes Wide Shut” of 1999. The arrangements for four-hand piano keep close to the original, the term transcription fits best. The Primo part is technically more demanding than the Secondo Part.

Rachmaninov's composition teacher, famed Russian composer Anton Arensky, wrote these lovely and simple piano duets which run the gamut of emotion in true Russian Romantic style. Stravinsky's wonderful dances round out this charming album with a tongue-in-cheek pair of parts, one extremely easy, the other a dizzying rhythmic joke! Stravinsky loved these three pieces so much that he later orchestrated them as Nos. 1-3 of his Suite No. 2 for small orchestra. A must-have for the less advanced student who wants to play luscious Russian Romantic music!
Includes complete printed music score with both primo and secondo piano parts, and a compact disc featuring the duets in two formats: split-channel stereo with secondo part on the left channel, primo on the right, so you can play either part; and then again with just the secondo part in stereo so you can perform the primo part alongside.
Performed by Sondra Bianca, piano
Accompaniment: Harriet Wingreen, piano

In 1849 Schumann published six Impromptus for piano four-hands with the title “Bilder aus Osten”. As can be seen from the preface of the first edition, Schumann was inspired by the “Maqama” - a genre of Arab rhymed prose - by the medieval poet Hariri in the translation by Friedrich Rückert. Schumann could not banish the protagonist in the Maqama, Abu Said, whom he likened to the German character Till Eulenspiegel from his thoughts whilst he was writing the works. This explains the “foreign character” of the pieces. Even 150 years later, the “Pictures from the East” with their nuanced use of a wide range of sound possibilities in the interplay of the four hands, have lost none of their charm.

In order to also promote the circulation of his works outside the concert hall, Johannes Brahms made piano arrangements of many of his orchestral works. As the composer, he was able to take greater liberties than any other arranger would have been able to take. And it is precisely due to Brahms' creative ideas in the piano scoring that his arrangements have enjoyed renewed interest in the music world over the past decades. With this Urtext edition of the Symphonies Nos. 3 and 4, based on the musical text in the Johannes Brahms Complete Edition, Henle's catalogue now contains all four symphonies in the authentic piano arrangements made by the composer. Once again, Andreas Groethuysen has provided the fingerings.

Franz Liszt was a Schubert fan his whole life. In his concerts he performed Schubert's songs in transcriptions for piano solo with such great effect that publishers also took notice. Thus, from 1838, numerous Liszt-Schubert arrangements appeared in print – with, of course, easier alternatives provided for the most difficult passages in order to attract a wider audience. That this was a successful strategy is clear from the numerous editions and reprints of these pieces that already appeared throughout Europe during Liszt's lifetime. With this Urtext edition of “Aufenthalt” (Resting Place), G. Henle Publishers starts a series of individual editions of these fascinating testimonials to Liszt's enthusiasm for Schubert. For this purpose, editor Andrea Lindmayr-Brandl has sifted through the surviving editions; and fingerings are provided by no less than Evgeny Kissin, who also assisted in the choice of pieces.
