Although the music of Liszt has been edited by some of the great pianist-composers of the twentieth century, including Ferruccio Busoni and Ignacy Jan Paderewski, any pianist interested in both the technical and musicological complexities of Liszt’s music will benefit greatly from Henle’s new edition of the Hungarian Rhapsody no. 12.

MLA Notes, 2009

La edición crítica que publica Henle, en sus siempre cuidadísimas ediciones, restituye la exactitud editorial proporcionando mayor realce al excepcional brillo de la obra.

Dia a dia, 2008

Having recently welcomed Henle’s remarkable editions of Liszt’s second and sixth Hungarian Rhapsodies, it is a pleasure to strongly recommend its new version of no. 12. … The music is beautifully presented with excellent notes in the preface by Mária Eckhardt and sensible fingering from Andreas Groethuysen.
