In eerdere edities bespraken we al de afzonderlijke edities van de Scherzo’s opus 20 en 31. De uitgaven van de Scherzo’s opus 39 en 54 staan op hetzelfde hoge niveau, qua vormgeving en toelichting.

de nieuwe muze, 2019

Da Herausgeber Norbert Müllemann nun wirklich alle brauchbaren Quellen ausgewertet, beschrieben und sein Vorgehen begründet hat, kann man die Werke mithilfe dieser Edition besonders gründlich studieren. ... Durchaus hilfreich sind einerseits die vom Herausgeber angefertigten schematischen Darstellungen zum jeweiligen Verlauf der Drucklegung, andererseits die zahlreichen Notenbeispiele, anhand derer Unterschiede zwischen den verschiedenen Fassungen deutlich gemacht werden. ... Die Druckgrafik ist von jener sinnlichen Prägnanz, die man seit jeher von Henle-Urtext-Editionen kennt und schätzt.

Piano news, 2019

Going still further, Müllemann provides detailed footnotes throughout the score itself, too, and these are likely to be for many the first port-of-call when preparing a performance. ... As for the score itself, as one would expect from Henle this is beautifully engraved and presented on quality cream paper, with an enduring stitched binding. It must also be added that the score is also available as a digital download within the Henle Library app. ... Those studying these extraordinary masterpieces will be delighted with Norbert Müllemann’s outstanding new edition for Henle, combining as it does superb scholarship with industry-leading engraving and presentation.

Pianodao, 2019

Il punto forte, però, è il ricco apparato critico (tedesco e inglese), con vari alberi genealogici delle fonti e diversi esempi musicali.

Suonare news, 2019

The integrity and scholarship of the edition can be taken for granted, though, and Henle’s characteristically professional presentation makes for an attractive package.
