| |  | Dear Reader,
|
| Quite a few things probably come to mind when you think of “music and rain”: Chopin’s “Raindrop” Prelude, Debussy’s “Jardins sous la pluie” or Johannes Brahms’ “Regenlied” op. 59.3 among other things.
We have all of these works in our Urtext programme of course. But today, I’m actually talking about real rain and a very attractive gift from our collection, the Henle umbrella. It’s a very sturdy, practical companion when it’s a little damp outside. Its four musical, weather-inspired motifs make it truly stand out.
Feeling tempted? You can find out more about it here: » Details and a video about the Henle umbrella.
And the following newsletter brings you the latest news from the publishing house.

| | | | A new cadenza for Mozart’s Piano Concerto no. 25 | | “A witty and playful piece full of surprises” – with Dmitry Ablogin’s new cadenza, you can bring the opening movement of Mozart's Piano Concerto no. 25 K. 503 to a sparkling conclusion!
The cadenza by this renowned pianist is now available as a variation in the Henle Library app. Just look for the little blue “v” in the score, select Ablogin's cadenza and combine Mozart’s cheerful music with Dmitry Ablogin’s spirited improvisation!
