The Inventions and Sinfonias were conceived not only as works of perfect artistic craftsmanship, but as pedagogical aids to beginners in both performance and composition. They demonstrate how whole movements can be formed out of a single, well designed idea (or “invention”) by one who has mastered the art of counterpoint.

The “Six little Preludes for Beginners” were composed by J.S. Bach for his pianoforte pupils, followed by the little fugues and preludes which, along with their fughettas, served as preparation for the more difficult works of the “Well Tempered Clavier”.

Pieces for Harpsichord by Jean-Baptiste Loeillet

Volume 1 of Francois Couperin's PIeces for Harpsichord.

Along with the Stamitz concerto, Hoffmeister‘s Viola Concerto is the most important audition piece for viola players. Yet, it has been handed down in a complicated source tradition, surviving in a single contemporary manuscript covered with many layers of markings. Our piano reduction reconstructs, for the first time, the earliest textual layer in this source, thereby coming as close as possible to Hoffmeister‘s actual intentions. The reconstructed original is accompanied by a detailed critical commentary. Fingering and bowing marks have been added by no less a musician than Kim Kashkashian!

Schumann: Variations on a Theme (Ghost Variations) It was in February 1854, a few weeks before Robert Schumann’s admission to the psychiatric hospital in Endenich, that he wrote his variations on a theme in E-flat major. Because of the extraordinary, personal and moving events of those days, Clara Schumann guarded the manuscript pages of her husband’s final piano composition, dedicated to her and later called “Ghost Variations,” like relics, and prohibited their publication. The first edition was not published until 1939, and in many respects does not correspond with what Schumann actually wrote down. For the first time, the Henle Urtext edition draws upon all the available primary sources, and thus is effectively the only reliable Urtext edition of a work that in recent years has been heard with increasing frequency.
