For unaccompanied cello. Text in Italian, German and English.

Piatti's Twelve Caprices, Op. 25, are the daily bread of all advanced players of the cello: Sir Yehudi Menuhin mentioned them in the same breath with the Bach Suites. Now Henle is presenting the very first urtext edition of this opus, with information on sources and alternative readings and with fold-out pages to solve the previously knotty problem of page turns.

The twelve Capricci op. 25 by the cello virtuoso and composer Alfredo Piatti, who performed with the likes of Liszt and Mendelssohn Bartholdy, are a must for all advanced cello players. Sir Yehudi Menuhin compared them to the Cello Suites by J. S. Bach, referring to these two works as the Old and New Testament of cello literature. Henle's Urtext edition of the Capricci (HN 746) - the first ever of its kind - is now available as a practical study edition and should be on every cellist's shelves!
