Arnold Schönberg
Six Little Piano Pieces op. 19
One of the answers found by Schönberg’s circle to the question about how musical processes could be shaped without a tonal context was in the extreme streamlining of the form. With Schönberg’s Six Little Piano Pieces op. 19 of 1911, the concentration on the essential is legendary. Behind its fleeting gestures lie hidden depths, shown especially through its supposed reference in the last piece to Gustav Mahler’s funeral on 21 May 1911. With his carefully considered fingerings, Emanuel Ax invites all pianists to engage with these miniatures anew. 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, 2022Editées avec le soin typique de la grande maison munichoise (intéressantes introductions et remarques musicologiques des éditeurs responsables, très bonnes suggestions de doigtés dues à Emanuel Ax, traduction des indications d’exécution et de tempo allemandes en anglais et français adjointe au commentaire, impeccable gravure claire et lisible, beau et solide papier), on peut espérer que ces importantes publications encourageront les pianistes curieux à explorer l’univers expressioniste et atonal des Trois pieces, Op. 11 comme celui des fulgurants aphorismes des Six petites pieces pour piano, Op. 19 qui s’annoncent si clairement ce que fera plus tard Webern.
Crescendo, 2022Een overzichtelijke uitgave door een ruimtelijke indeling, ook geschikt voor amateurs. Ik zou direct deze nieuwe partituur kiezen voor een eerste kennismaking met de atonaliteit van de Weense school van Schönberg, Berg en Webern, de ingewikkelde structuren zijn hier beter te ontrafelen door de wijd uit elkaar gedrukte noten en tekens.
Pianist, 2022Dank ihrer räumlichen Anordnung handelt es sich um eine übersichtliche Publikation, die auch für Laien gut geeignet ist. Ich empfehle diese Neuausgabe Leuten, die erste Bekanntschaft mit der Zweiten Wiener Schule machen, da die komplizierten Strukturen hier dank der weiten Notenabstände leicht zu entwirren sind.
Pianist, 2022Henle’s presentation is typically polished, and a helpful translation of all the German terms is provided.
