Pascal Rogé (Fingering)

Daarmee wordt het een regelrechte uitdaging voor de uitgever om enerzijds recht te doen aan alle bedoelingen van de componist, anderzijds te waken voor een overzichtelijke bladspiegel. Zoals we gewend zijn, is Henle hierin met vlag en wimpel geslaagd. Met zo'n tot in de puntjes verzorgde partituur is het een groot plezier om je te verdiepen in alle nuances van het zeer rijke kleurenpalet van deze ten onrechte niet veel gespeelde compositie.
