Berg's pupil Adorno once said, “Whoever is seriously trying to comprehend Berg's music should closely apply themselves to the eleven-page piano sonata.” It is tempting to enlarge upon this statement: Whoever is trying to get to grips with New Music will not be able to avoid Berg's opus 1. It is one of the most frequently played sonatas amongst the Second Viennese School piano compositions. With this publication Henle is introducing Urtext editions to classical modernism. Once again, pianists will find flawless engraving, an absolutely reliable musical text and a commentary based on the sources. This edition is worldwide available.
