It is almost impossible to tell from listening to them that Bach's extremely popular concerti for harpsichord were probably his own transcriptions of solo concerti which had originally been composed for violin or a woodwind instrument. While in many cases the original model is unknown, this is not true in the case of the D major Concerto BWV 1054, which was written in 1738 as an arrangement of the E major Violin Concerto BWV 1042. Once again Bach succeeds in conjuring a brilliant and idiomatic keyboard work from the violin part. Not only because of this, but also principally due to its lively and cheerful outer movements, BWV 1054 belongs among the highlights of Bach's rich compositional output. The piano reduction comprises the solo part together with a very playable piano reduction prepared by Johannes Umbreit for practical use.

“After an early mini piece for this instrumentation, Bunte Blätter (Coloured Leaves) is my first real piece for two pianos. It has become a collection of highly diverse and multifaceted pieces and forms, ranging from Walzer (Waltz) to Danse macabre, from 'Fanfare' to 'Zirkusparade (Circus Parade).' The fact that the interpreters of the world premiere, Arthur and Lucas Jussen, are siblings, may and should be felt in the teasingly affectionate 'Fangspiel (Game of Tag)' in which the two pianists sometimes deliberately 'play past' each other. The collection is completed by 'Rätsel (Riddle)' for Peter Sloterdijk's 75th birthday, a small, sphinx-like piece for the librettist of my Babylon opera.”
- Jörg Widmann

The decisive role that Norwegian folk music played for Edvard Grieg can be felt in almost all of his works. The Norwegian Dances op.35 of 1880, presented here in an Urtext edition, are arrangements for piano four hands of old folk tunes that Grieg took from a collection published by the musician and researcher Ludvig Mathias Lindeman. For this Henle Urtext edition, all the extant autographs in the Grieg Archive in Bergen, Norway were consulted along with the contemporary first editions. The co-editor here is the Norwegian pianist and Grieg specialist Einar Steen-Nøkleberg, who is also responsible for the fingerings.

Grieg's incidental music for Henrik Ibsen's drama “Peer Gynt” contains some of his best-known compositions, such as “Morning mood” and “In the hall of the Mountain King”. Grieg later extracted the most beautiful pieces to form two orchestral suites and arranged himself these versions for piano solo and piano four-hands. There was a surprise in store for Henle when preparing their Urtext edition. In the autograph and the first print run, the second suite contained another movement, the “Dance of the Mountain King's Daughter”, which Grieg deleted shortly afterwards. This charming dance appears in the appendix to this edition - printed again for the first time in 120 years! The Norwegian pianist and Grieg expert Einar Steen-Nøkleberg was co-editor for this edition and also provided the new fingerings.

Although Mozart's penultimate piano concerto was completed on 24 February 1788, it was not premiered until 1789 in Dresden. A further performance in autumn 1790, as part of the celebrations in honour of Leopold II's coronation as Emperor, led to the concerto's now popular nickname.
In comparison to the series of large piano concertos from 1784–86, K. 537, with its numerous rapid scale passages and embellishments, looks more conventional at first glance, although it is precisely this more flexible structure that points ahead to forms of the early romantic period. In any case, it today numbers among Mozart's most frequently played concertos. Mozart specialist Andreas Staier has supplemented this Urtext edition with numerous practical performance suggestions (rendered as an ossia or in small print): he provides not only elegant entries, cadenzas, embellishments and fingerings, but also completes the sections of the solo part only fragmentarily preserved in the autograph. Henle thus offers a welcome alternative to the previously known version of the solo part, which contains additions made by the publisher Johann André in the posthumous first edition of 1794.

According to Mozart's own catalogue, K. 491 was completed on 24 March 1786 – it was Mozart's only piano concerto aside from K. 466 that was in a minor key. It was probably first performed two weeks later as part of an “academy” at the Burgtheater in Vienna. Mozart was extremely pressed for time while composing this work, a fact that is shown both by the cursory way in which the autograph was written and by the repeated corrections. Unlike earlier publications, Henle's edition contains the definitive version as in Mozart's manuscript. The piano reduction of Henle's edition was undertaken by the celebrated pianist András Schiff, who also supplied the fingerings for the solo part, the cadenzas and the lead-ins.
