Piano editions now with fingerings

Selected piano pieces from Bärenreiter’s Urtext catalogue are now appearing for the first time with fingerings. These volumes combine the definitive Urtext from the new complete editions with tried and tested fingerings from well-known pianists and teachers.

They also contain notes on interpretation. Our Urtext editions without fingerings remain in print as before.
