Schumann‘s Papillons op. 2 has been a best-selling item in Henle‘s catalogue for decades. What is special about our revised new edition? First, the musical text has been painstakingly compared once again to the two principal sources, the autograph manuscript and Schumann‘s personal copy of the printed edition. Moreover, the volume is rounded off with a new preface and an updated section of editorial comments. Finally, as a special attraction, the page layout has been thoroughly revised and a fold-out table allows players for the first time to play all twelve pieces of Schumann‘s famous and highly popular cycle without cumbersome page turns. Being of moderate difficulty,Papillons is virtually ideal for use in piano lessons.
