Henle’s new editions of these works are exemplary in their scholarship; their editors have returned to original sources, researched the composer’s letters and manuscripts, and compiled scores truer to his intentions than ever. ... The notation engraving has, as expected, Henle’s industry-leading precision and clarity, each volume also benefitting from a useful Preface at the start, and extensive critical commentary at the rear. ... These new editions of the scores from Henle immediately jump to the top of the pile as the edition to own, and can be recommended as such without reservation.

Pianodao, 2022

Editées avec le soin typique de la grande maison munichoise (intéressantes introductions et remarques musicologiques des éditeurs responsables, très bonnes suggestions de doigtés dues à Emanuel Ax, traduction des indications d’exécution et de tempo allemandes en anglais et français adjointe au commentaire, impeccable gravure claire et lisible, beau et solide papier), on peut espérer que ces importantes publications encourageront les pianistes curieux à explorer l’univers expressioniste et atonal des Trois pieces, Op. 11 comme celui des fulgurants aphorismes des Six petites pieces pour piano, Op. 19 qui s’annoncent si clairement ce que fera plus tard Webern.

Crescendo, 2022

Een overzichtelijke uitgave door een ruimtelijke indeling, ook geschikt voor amateurs. Ik zou direct deze nieuwe partituur kiezen voor een eerste kennismaking met de atonaliteit van de Weense school van Schönberg, Berg en Webern, de ingewikkelde structuren zijn hier beter te ontrafelen door de wijd uit elkaar gedrukte noten en tekens.

Pianist, 2022

Dank ihrer räumlichen Anordnung handelt es sich um eine übersichtliche Publikation, die auch für Laien gut geeignet ist. Ich empfehle diese Neuausgabe Leuten, die erste Bekanntschaft mit der Zweiten Wiener Schule machen, da die komplizierten Strukturen hier dank der weiten Notenabstände leicht zu entwirren sind.

Pianist, 2022
