This Henle edition is full of mistakes! We can freely admit this, because the odd notes here all come from Mozart himself – he consciously inserted them into his Musical Joke. In this amusing and mischievous piece, Mozart does not chiefly parody musicians who play wrong notes (the later title “Village Musicians” was not his). Rather, in this chamber music joke he aims an angry side-swipe at dilettante composer-colleagues of his time, whose lack of imagination and artless compositional technique are here mercilessly demonstrated. A musical and intellectual delight for todays performers and audiences alike, now performable for the first time using a genuine Urtext quality edition based on the autograph in Berlin. With the present edition for chamber orchestra, the “joke” is not limited in terms of the scoring – ensembles made up of soloists can play from the sextet edition HN 1281.

Even if many violinists consider Prokofiev's opus 94 as “their” violin sonata: this enchanting work was written for flute! Prokofiev composed it in 1942–43, only subsequently did he make a version for violin (HN 1624), which was premiered in 1944. The great success of this arrangement was probably the reason why the original flute sonata was not published during Prokofiev's lifetime. Even later, a separate flute part was published merely as a supplement to the violin version. Since then, the flute sonata has only been known in this “mixed form”– which is very problematic in that the piano accompaniment of the two versions differ substantially. Henle's source-critical Urtext edition of the flute sonata is based on the autograph preserved in Moscow as well as on the copyist's manuscript of the flute part of the premiere. It offers for the first time the unadulterated musical text for flute and piano, without later amendments from the violin arrangement. In the preface, Prokofiev specialist Simon Morrison clearly explains the intricate genesis of the sonata.

In a remarkably short span of time, Nirvana transformed the sound of rock music and gave a generation a new voice. Emerging from the Pacific Northwest underground, the band's raw intensity, stripped-down songwriting, and emotional honesty reshaped the musical landscape of the early 1990s and continues to influence artists today.
This deluxe set offers an unprecedented look inside that catalog with accurate, note-for-note transcriptions drawn directly from the original recordings. Every guitar part, bass line, drum groove, vocal melody, and lyric is fully captured, allowing musicians and fans alike to explore how these now-classics were built. From the abrasive power of Bleach to the polished urgency of Nevermind, the uncompromising edge of In Utero, and the stark intimacy of their set as performed at MTV Unplugged, each era is represented in full detail.
Spanning 51 songs across all four landmark releases, this deluxe hardcover edition presents Nirvana's music exactly as it was recorded. Unfiltered, dynamic, and emotionally charged, this collection is ideal for studying the band's songwriting approach, learning the parts instrument by instrument, or preserving a defining chapter of rock history.
43 songs, including: About a Girl • All Apologies • Big Cheese • Blew • Breed • Come As You Are • Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge on Seattle • Heart Shaped Box • In Bloom • The Man Who Sold the World • Oh Me • Pennyroyal Tea • Radio Friendly Unit Shifter • Serve the Servants • Smells like Teen Spirit • Something in the Way • Tourette's • Where Did You Sleep Last Night • and more.

This piece, presumably composed around 1890, belongs to a whole series of Debussys early works that are indeed still far removed from the seminal piano compositions of his mature period, but, for all their simplicity of part-writing and harmony, set their own accents that foreshadow Debussys later musical language. The fact that in 1905 Debussy objected to a new edition of the piece, which was first published in 1895, describing it as “a meaningless thing, quickly written down, in a word: bad,” seems incomprehensible today. After all, this is refined salon music in the best sense of the word, with melodic charm and elegant piano writing that can also be mastered by amateurs.
Today, Rêverie is one of the most popular piano pieces from Debussy's early work – reason enough to offer it as a Henle Urtext single edition!

Introduce young students to the timeless charm of William Gillock with The Easiest Gillock Pieces for the Beginning Pianist. This collection features 31 original solos that progress from early to later elementary level, giving developing pianists repertoire that is musical and rewarding from the start.

This newly engraved collection also features fun illustrations which highlight several of his lesser-known elementary pieces. Titles like “The Candy Store,” “Sailing,” and “Sky Castles” help students visualize and be more engaged, and familiar teaching pieces like “Water Lilies” and “Glass Beads” offer a wide variety suitable for lessons, festivals, and recitals. New (optional) accompaniments written by Gillock's protégé Glenda Austin enhance the simple melodies and provide excellent collaborative opportunities.

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 are also playable without problem on the pedal harp, which was to replace the chromatic harp on the concert platform. The archaic style of the pieces, including modal harmonies, used to express a “sacred” rite and a “profane” dance of joy, points to the enthusiasm for antiquity of Debussy himself and of the artistic world around 1900.
Ours is the first critical edition of the pieces, and is based on careful checking of the autograph and first edition. Owing to the moderate level of difficulty of the orchestral parts, the work is also suitable for amateur ensembles. The harp part is available with the piano reduction in HN 1584.
