Friedrich Burgmüller's 25 Etudes op. 100 from 1851 are an indispensable part of piano instruction. Their charm lies in the fact that they do not present themselves as mundane finger exercises, but as pieces with evocative titles such as “L'Arabesque” or “L'Hirondelle” (The Swallow). For the Henle edition, the renowned piano pedagogue Melanie Spanswick has written short commentaries to explain the character and technical particularities of the individual etudes. She has carefully supplemented the composer's original fingerings with additional indications. This Urtext edition also presents for the first time musically expanded versions, which Burgmüller presumably wrote down only after the work had been printed. So, even with these popular exercises there is new territory to discover!

Maria Herz ? only in recent years has her name begun to be heard in the music world, so thoroughly had her work been forgotten due to a complicated fate in exile. Born in Cologne in 1878 and raised there as the child of an important Jewish textile merchant family, she was one of the few female composers who succeeded in carving out a place for herself in the male-dominated new music scene in Germany. At the beginning of the 20th century, she followed her husband, Albert Herz, to England to escape the anti-Semitic climate in Germany. In August 1914, the outbreak of the First World War prevented her return to England following a family visit to Cologne. She began a second career as a composer after further studies with Hermann Hans Wetzler and Philipp Jarnach. At the end of the 1920s, she entered the public eye with successful performances of orchestral works and songs - but the time until her forced second exile in England after the National Socialists seized power in 1933 was not enough for her to establish herself internationally. She fell silent as a composer and died in 1950 in New York, her third and last place of exile. The first edition of her works is being published by Boosey & Hawkes - Bote & Bock in cooperation with the composer's descendants and the Central Library in Zürich, where her estate is kept.
Maria Herz? piano works are published in two volumes. This second volume brings together all the compositions written during her first period in England at the beginning of the 20th century for “her” instrument, which she had studied with none other than the piano virtuoso Max von Pauer in Cologne before the turn of the century. The Fugues and Préludes are presumably musical exercises in connection with her composition studies with Edmund Grimshaw in Leeds. The enchanting 12 (Valses) Ländler may have been written for a piano recital by the composers on 12th December 1911 at the Arts Club in Bradford, a city in the north of England not far from Leeds, where the young family had settled. Even if neither a year of composition nor traces of performances during the composer's lifetime can be found for the pianistically most important work in the collection, the Variations on Chopin?s C Minor Prélude Op. 28

“It is impossible to contemplate America the Beautiful without a mixture of pain, sorrow, despair, rage, and hope. When Min Kwon first contacted me about this project, the United States was being ruthlessly torn apart and the future of our nation seemed utterly bleak, on top of which the pandemic raged. My contemplation of the song is distilled from a much longer improvisation that was mostly marked by fury with occasional moments of melancholy and longing for an ideal that never really existed. This brief piece is a contemplation and a petition, a prayer and a scream.” - Bruce Adolphe
