Arnold Schönberg
Suite op. 25
Schönberg’s Suite op. 25 of 1923 refers to pre-classical forms in its movement titles Präludium, Gavotte–Musette, Intermezzo, Menuett–Trio and Gigue, yet at the same time it was the first work to be based entirely on a twelve-tone row. But anyone who believes that emotions can be left out of this completely new-sounding music is mistaken: Schönberg requires the player’s full commitment, reflected in a whole palette of new articulation markings which he added to the musical text in order to ensure a nuanced and expressive performance. A challenge for all pianists! In the Henle Urtext edition, the Israeli-American pianist Shai Wosner, a true connoisseur of the Suite, provides indispensable assistance with the fingering to help decode this magnificent work. The Henle Urtext edition publishes this modern classic in a new, generously laid out music setting.

Henle’s new editions of these works are exemplary in their scholarship; their editors have returned to original sources, researched the composer’s letters and manuscripts, and compiled scores truer to his intentions than ever. ... The notation engraving has, as expected, Henle’s industry-leading precision and clarity, each volume also benefitting from a useful Preface at the start, and extensive critical commentary at the rear. ... These new editions of the scores from Henle immediately jump to the top of the pile as the edition to own, and can be recommended as such without reservation.
Pianodao, 2022Shai Wosner is equally helpful and informative with his notes and fingerings for the iconic Suite Op. 25. … The composer’s own performance hints for articulation, ornamentation, tempo and metronome markings are helpfully reproduced in the preface. As it is always the case with Henle, presentation is immediate and arresting. Strongly recommended.
International Piano, 2022Wie bei der Edition der Klavierstücke Op. 11 wurden auch bei Op. 25 die Quellen neu ausgewertet und für die neue Edition nutzbar gemacht. … Der zweisprachig abgefasste „Bemerkungen“- Teil gibt darüber detailliert Auskunft. Außerdem hat der Pianist Shai Wosner, ein Schüler von Emanuel Ax, einen sehr nützlichen Fingersatz samt bedenkenswerten Bemerkungen zum Pedaleinsatz beigetragen.
