| |  | Dear Reader,
|
| Ragtime was hugely popular in the USA around 1900 and played a crucial role in the history of jazz. Its syncopated rhythm contributed to the development of the New Orleans style, and Scott Joplin used it to compose numerous sophisticated piano pieces.
Yet it was not until the 1970s that these pieces began to rise to prominence in the world of classical music. The American pianist, conductor and musicologist Joshua Rifkin was instrumental in this with his record “Piano Rags”. In its wake, “The Entertainer” became world-famous as part of the soundtrack to the caper comedy “The Sting”, sparking a true Joplin renaissance.
We are now delighted to welcome Joshua Rifkin as the editor of the first critical Urtext edition of Joplin’s piano works, which opens with two » “all-time hits”.
We hope you’ll enjoy discovering ragtime at Henle, along with other Urtext masterpieces.
|
| With very best wishes,
| 
| Dr. Norbert Gertsch
| Managing Director
|
| PS: Joplin is also a focus of the exhibition » “Ragtime: Cakewalk in Pianoland”, which opens on 13 November at The Morgan Library & Museum, New York.

| | | | 25 Etudes op. 100 for Piano | | Andreas Pernpeintner (Editor), Friedrich Burgmüller (Fingering Piano), Melanie Spanswick (Notes, Additional markings)
Urtext Edition, paperbound
HN 1726
Friedrich Burgmüller’s 25 Etudes op. 100 from 1851 are an indispensable part of piano instruction. Their charm lies in the fact that they do not present themselves as mundane finger exercises, but as pieces with evocative titles such as “L’Arabesque” or “L’Hirondelle” (The Swallow).
For the Henle edition, the renowned piano pedagogue Melanie Spanswick has written short commentaries to explain the character and technical particularities of the individual etudes. This Urtext edition also presents for the first time musically expanded versions, which Burgmüller presumably wrote down only after the work had been printed.
