This suite was made by Prokofieff from the score of his third ballet for Diaghilev. Gerard McBurney comments that the ballet was “a highly entertaining product of that 1920s fashion for making art about the brave new world of machines and heavy industry and strong-muscled men engaged in hard labour. For good measure Prokofieff and his collaborators threw in a light-hearted sub-plot as well, about a sailor and his girl. The result is one of his most poster-paint scores, filled with bright and brittle imagery, breezy optimism and pulsing motor-rhythms.” When Prokofieff extracted the symphonic suite he cut and reordered the material and altered quite a few passages, to give the piece more of a symphonic feel and make it more effective in the concert hall. He ends the suite with the most exciting and original music in the score, an apotheosis of the life and sounds of an early 20th-century factory. He makes marvellous use of the orchestra to describe the humming and whirring of machinery, complete with spinning cogs and flywheels and the thunder of hammers and chains.

Shostakovich originally intended his Symphony No.6 to be a monumental homage to Lenin for vocal soloists, choir and large orchestra. Even in the year before its completion, he announced in the press that Vladimir Mayakovsky's poem “Vladimir Ilyich Lenin” was to form the textual basis for it. However, what was finally premiered in Moscow on 21 November 1939 as Symphony No. 6 did not meet these expectations in the slightest; nor was such a “Lenin Symphony” ever published by Shostakovich. The purely instrumental work opens with an expansive, introverted Largo followed by a short Scherzo and a brilliant “music hall gallop”, which Shostakovich considered the most accomplished piece of the symphony.
This volume is part of the revised and corrected new edition of all 15 symphonies by Dmitri Shostakovich published by Boosey & Hawkes and Sikorski as large format study scores for optimal legibility. All scores and the related orchestral parts have been newly computer typeset, and the orchestral parts are also compatible for performance use with scores in 'The New Collected Works of Dmitri Shostakovich'.

In 1803 Beethoven wrote his Third Symphony and, as is widely known, it was originally in honor of Napoleon Bonaparte. Yet it was published three years later with a dedication to Beethoven's patron Prince Lobkowitz as well as with the addition “Sinfonia Eroica” in memory of a “grand Uomo”. This presumably - reflecting the changed political situation - referred to the Prussian Prince Louis Ferdinand who died on the battlefield against Napoleon. Based on the musical text of the Beethoven Complete Edition and with a preface by the editor Bathia Churgin, Beethoven's famous heroic symphony is now available as a Henle pocket score.

The genesis of the Fourth Symphony possibly goes back to the 1870s when Brahms was studying the Bach Cantata “Nach dir, Herr, verlanget mich,” whose chaconne theme forms the nucleus of the finale. Around 29 August 1885 Brahms wrote to Hans von Bülow from Mürzzuschlag in Styria: “However I have a few entr'acts – which together form what one would usually call a symphony. [...] I am afraid [...], it takes after the climate in this region – the cherries do not ripen here.” Yet we are by no means speaking of “sour” cherries here. The work is today a part of the canon of classical-romantic symphonies. Our handy and inexpensive priced study edition is based on the musical text in the Johannes Brahms Complete Edition (HN 6015).

One of the most notable movements from Dmitri Shostavovich is transformed into this superb new edition that is well within the reach of most orchestras. Stephen Bulla's arrangement is appropriately truncated, and carefully altered with key, range and technique, and orchestration considerations for today's school, festival and regional orchestras. (G. Schirmer, Inc.)

Brahms had in fact wanted to stop composing in 1890, but his encounter with the clarinettist Richard Muhlfeld inspired him so much that he produced several works in a row for him over a brief period of time. The melodious Quintet op. 115 has been popular with musicians and audiences alike since its premiere in 1891. Even prior to printing - and presumably with a view toward further dissemination of the work - an alternate version was written with viola instead of clarinet, premiered by no less than Joseph Joachim and authorized by Brahms. The Henle study edition, revised according to the text of the New Brahms Complete Edition, thus also documents for the first time the viola variants of the solo part in the ossias. In a brief preface, editor Kathrin Kirsch provides insight into the genesis of the work and discusses interesting variants of transmission in the Comments.
