Dear Reader,
 
When you play the piano, you leave traces behind. And I mean this in a literal sense. An instrument polished to a high sheen almost always bears traces of the player. And if you take some time off, you’ll soon find that your piano is covered in a fine layer of dust.
 
Our new » Henle piano polishing cloth is an ultra-fine microfibre cloth for cleaning pianos and other smooth and shiny interior surfaces. I use it regularly. Why not give it a try?
 
You can find out more about our new editions and several inspiring videos about what is going on at the publishing house in the following newsletter.
 
With very best wishes

Dr. Wolf-Dieter Seiffert
Managing Director
 
P.S. I have also given several people the piano polishing cloth as a gift.

In conversation with Piemontesi
The pianist Francesco Piemontesi has contributed his fingerings to volumes one and two of our Urtext editions of Liszt’s “Années de pèlerinage”.
 
In this video interview with Peter Jost, the editor of this edition who is also in our editorial department, the Swiss pianist talks about approaching these famous and in parts challenging pieces, about virtuosity, sound, “good” fingering and using the pedal when playing Liszt.

Schönberg, Ax, Woesner
“Playing this work is extremely rewarding – both physically and musically!” is what the pianist Shai Wosner says of Schönberg’s Suite for Piano op. 25. “They are just beautiful and expressive music that should be played as much as anything that is normally played!” adds Emanuel Ax in a conversation about the Piano Pieces op. 11 and op. 19.
We would like to draw your attention to this video interview that our editor-in-chief Norbert Müllemann conducted with these two extraordinary musicians and friends of our publishing house.
