Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, Felix: Three Fantasies or Cappricios op. 16
(Elvers, Rudolf)
The hand-signed autographs are extant, and - along with several other manuscripts and first editions - serve as the basis for this Urtext edition. The extensive preface, which includes quotations from the composer's letters, lets the reader glimpse the magical atmosphere of the Welsh sojourn, and convey how a ''troika of melodious, rich and not overly difficult treasures came to be written'', as the music trade press has written concerning Henle's edition.
G. Henle Publishers stands for Urtext sheet music of the highest quality. Musicians around the world, both amateurs and professionals, can fully rely on our sheet music of what is called “classical music”. Our Urtext editions not only provide the undistorted and authoritative musical text but are also aesthetically pleasing, optimised for practical use and extremely durable. And then there is the strong, distinctive blue profile: (almost) all of our Urtext editions are bound in the characteristic blue cardboard.
Ever since Günter Henle founded our publishing house, we have concentrated almost exclusively on the scholarly preparation of Urtext editions of music from the Baroque onwards. This is why, as the world's undisputed market leader, we have the greatest knowledge about Urtext and the most comprehensive Urtext catalogue, comprising over 1,250 titles to date.
