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.
