Curtain up for Henriëtte Bosmans! The Sonata for cello and piano written in 1919 by the Dutch composer and pianist is a real discovery: exuberant and singing music in a late Romantic style. Both instruments come into their own; cellist Marix Loevensohn was probably the inspiration for the solo part. Bosmans later had to bear a hard fate; as a Jewess, she was banned from her profession and personally persecuted by the National Socialists. In this Urtext edition of the sonata, numerous errors in the first edition, which was published in 1919, have been corrected for the first time. The edition by G. Henle Publishers was made in collaboration with cellist Raphaela Gromes and pianist Julian Riem, who also recorded this sonata and reveal their fingerings here. A great deal of interesting information about the composer and her work is also presented in the preface by Bosmans expert Helen H. Metzelaar.

Already in his early youth, Mozart made his first forays into the genre of the string quartet, the supreme discipline in chamber music. The three three-movement works K. 136–138, which he designated “Divertimento”, are dated “Salisburgo 1772” in the autograph, but were presumably conceived earlier while on a concert tour under the Italian sun. They do not yet display the “erudite” four-partwriting that Joseph Haydn was perfecting at the same time, but instead strike a cheerful, playful serenade tone with mostly song-like upper voice and accompanying lower voices.
The fact that Mozart designated the lowest voice not as “Violoncello” but as “Basso” and also used the plural “Viole” for the viola part suggests that he certainly had in mind more than one instrument on a part here. In this form for small string orchestra, the three so-called “Salzburg Divertimenti” are still perennial evergreens today. Edited by Mozart expert Wolf-Dieter Seiffert, this practice-oriented chamber orchestra edition offers a verified musical text on the basis of the autograph sources. – An edition for string quartet is also available.

Johann Sebastian Bach's harpsichord concertos, which are hugely popular today, once offered the composer a real field for experimentation. Bach often used pre-existing material. Thus, there is much to indicate that the E-major Concerto BWV 1053 is based on earlier concertante movements for a woodwind instrument (presumably oboe or oboe d'amore). In the revision, Bach naturally intervened deeply in the music and optimised the harpsichord solo part in particular with regard to the diverse expressive possibilities of the keyboard instrument. The present performance material fits perfectly to the Henle piano reduction of the same work. In the best Urtext quality, it offers a clearly laid out conducting score and practically configured orchestral parts, which are available both individually as well as in a reasonably priced set.

Johannes Brahms's three famous sonatas op. 78, 100 and 108 are among the most beautiful that the violin repertoire has to offer. Wouldn't it be wonderful if Brahms had actually composed more for this instrumentation? In fact, this is not a pipe dream, for in 1895 the composer also arranged his two late Clarinet Sonatas op. 120 for violin and piano, where, by the way, he also made alterations in the piano part. These authentic arrangements offer an ideal entry point for music lovers and technically less experienced violinists who do not yet want to tackle the major sonatas. At the same time, they offer the “best of Brahms”. Try them yourself. The revised musical text of Henle's Urtext edition, taken from the New Brahms Complete Edition and enhanced by helpful fingerings, provides the best foundation.
