“Something quite curious, I believe†– It was thus that Robert Schumann described the Concert Piece for Four Horns and large orchestra in a letter and he did indeed break new ground with this work as far as the scoring and treatment of the instruments was concerned. When it was composed in 1849, the French horn was still fairly new, enabling players to play previously unheard-of runs and free modulations, a fact which Schumann made the most of, particularly with his scoring for four horns. Even today the Concert Piece is the romantic work for horn par excellence and a benchmark for all soloists.

Many a pianist will be surprised to learn that Dvorák's famous Humoresque No. 7 was originally a piano piece, since this irresistible melody - undoubtedly one of Dvorák's happiest inspirations - has circulated throughout the musical world in innumerable arrangements for every conceivable combination. The composer himself, however, wrote only this piano solo version. The complete cycle of eight Humoresques is available in another Henle Urtext edition (HN 1044), while this “lollipop†of the eight is now available in a stand-alone edition. Not least because of its only moderate difficulty, it is a must for piano fans of all ages!

In his youth, when still searching for his own personal style, Debussy composed a series of short, stand-alone piano pieces. He took traditional genres such as the ballade, mazurka, nocturne and waltz, but in general used each of them just once, as if trying them out. One such was the “Valse romantiqueâ€, published by Choudens of Paris in 1891 and thus written at the same time as his famous piano works “Two Arabesques†and the “Suite bergamasqueâ€. This charming waltz is of moderate difficulty and thus ideal either as a pedagogical piece or for concert performance. Our collected volume “Debussy: Piano Pieces†(HN 404) offers numerous other short piano pieces of modest difficulty for those who find that this practical, stand-alone edition awakens in them a desire for more.
