To commemorate the 200th anniversary of Robert Schumann's birth, an ambitious project has been realized in 2010: For the first time since Clara Schumann's Complete Edition of 1879-93, all of the works for piano solo are appearing as one editorial project. All of the Schumann titles published by G. Henle Publishers have undergone a careful revision by Schumann expert Ernst Herttrich who also added works previously missing from Henle's catalog. The complete piano works, comprising six volumes, are now available in paperbound or clothbound editions, as well as a study edition set in a slipcase. Clearly ordered by opus numbers, the complete edition includes not only all of Schumann's piano works, revised to reflect the latest scholarly findings, but also informative commentary texts, alternative versions and many things more.

Contents: Fantasiestücke op. 12 (mit Anhang: WoO 28), Paganini-Etüden op. 10; Sonate fis-moll op. 11; Allegro h-moll op. 8; Carnaval op. 9.
