Good intentions are simply not good enough (to freel paraphrase Kurt Tucholsky): the appreggione, a kind of hybrid instrument like a large bowed guitar, never won acceptance among musicians. This curiosity of instrumental engineering would certainly have long since been cosigned to oblivion had not Franz Schubert of all people composed his A minor sonata for it. This three-movement work is now truly immortal, but at the same time presents a problem as an Urtext because the original arpeggione part cannot be performed on those instruments that most closely approximate its sound – clearly the viola or violoncello – without some interventions in the text. G. Henle Verlag solves the dilemma on the one hand by setting the arpeggione Urtext part about the original piano part (score), and on the the other by clearly denoting the few necessary octave shifts in the included instrumental parts. Out of the question for the publisher was a transcription for another instrument such as the violin (as was included in Diabelli's posthumous first edition), flute, or other high melodic instrument, because these are simply too far removed from the sound Schubert had in mind. At best, a contrabass part might still work.

Originally, Lalo was meant to follow an officer's career but his musical talent soon became apparent and so he decided to become a musician. Every cellist is familiar with his Cello Concerto in d minor which is just as spirited as his “Symphonie espagnole”. Many renowned virtuosi, from Julius Klengel to Leonard Rose, have published their own editions of the concerto. Our Urtext edition distances itself from all of the additions made by other editors, but it offers both an unmarked part and one with fingerings and bowings by the famous cellist Heinrich Schiff. Parallel to our piano reduction, Breitkopf & Härtell are publishing a score, pocket score and orchestral material.

Curtain up for Henriëtte Bosmans! The Sonata for cello and piano written in 1919 by the Dutch composer and pianist is a real discovery: exuberant and singing music in a late Romantic style. Both instruments come into their own; cellist Marix Loevensohn was probably the inspiration for the solo part. Bosmans later had to bear a hard fate; as a Jewess, she was banned from her profession and personally persecuted by the National Socialists. In this Urtext edition of the sonata, numerous errors in the first edition, which was published in 1919, have been corrected for the first time. The edition by G. Henle Publishers was made in collaboration with cellist Raphaela Gromes and pianist Julian Riem, who also recorded this sonata and reveal their fingerings here. A great deal of interesting information about the composer and her work is also presented in the preface by Bosmans expert Helen H. Metzelaar.

Following the enthusiastic reception of his first Violin Sonata (HN 980), it was clear to Fauré that he would continue to write chamber music. In 1880 he wrote a little piece for cello and piano that was intended as the slow movement for a sonata. However, Fauré gave up the sonata project, instead publishing the piece under the title “Élégie.” It was so successful that Fauré was urged by the publisher to write further pieces. The conductor Édouard Colonne commissioned a version of the “Élégie” for orchestra in 1895, which was premièred two years later. As usual, this Henle Urtext edition contains both a marked and an unmarked solo part.

Edward Elgar's Salut d'amour is one of those pieces by the British composer that has a particularly haunting melody. Composed in 1888 for his future wife Caroline Alice Roberts, the work became an enormous success early on. There are numerous arrangements – but the only versions for which the autograph manuscripts survive are those for violin and piano (HN 1188), piano solo (HN 1190) and violoncello and piano. Up to now there has only been an arrangement of the cello part made by the original publisher, presumably with Elgar's approval. Now, for the very first time, Henle publishes the version following Elgar's autograph manuscript, which for unknown reasons had never been released. Also included is the trusted musical text from the first edition. With marked and unmarked string parts.

A few years ago Henle published the “Elephant” from the Carnival of the Animals. The curtain now rises for a further performance: the proud and elevated solo of the “Swan.” Charles-Joseph Lebouc organized the premiere of this work and also played the cello part. With the composer's permission, he then adapted this sonorous romance, accompanied by two pianos in the original, for violoncello and one piano. We are presenting the first ever Urtext edition of this popular cello work. The second piano part is reproduced in small print, thus permitting a comparison of the two versions.

Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy wrote three major works for cello and piano, a task he particularly enjoyed since his brother Paul was a cellist. Following the early Variations op. 17 (1829) and the Sonata no. 1 in B flat Major, op. 45 (1839), the op. 58 grand Sonata (1843) qualifies as the high point in Mendelssohn's oeuvre for cello.

Prokofiev's late Cello Sonata is inextricably linked with the name Mstislav Rostropovich. The then twenty-year-old cellist delighted the composer to such an extent during a performance in Moscow in 1947 that he spontaneously promised him a work tailored to his capabilities. In June 1949, they jointly put the finishing touches on the technically very demanding duo sonata. It was played for the first time that same month before the State Committee for Art Affairs. For the printed version, a breakneck concluding passage was mitigated by an easier alternative – which probably contributed considerably to the dissemination of the sonata.
The present Henle Urtext edition offers this twentieth-century cello masterpiece for the first time on the basis of all the authentic sources. In his preface, Prokofiev specialist Simon Morrison sheds light on the creation and publication of the sonata in the context of Soviet cultural policy.
