Abegg Variations F Major Op. 1 (Piano Solo). By Robert Schumann. Edited by Ernst Herttrich. For Piano. Piano (Harpsichord), 2-hands. Henle Music Folios. Pages: VI and 16. SMP Level 10 (Advanced). Softcover. 18 pages. G. Henle #HN87. Published by G. Henle (HL.51480087).
Who was “Pauline, Countess of Abegg,” the dedicatee of the first edition? Nowadays it is known that the matter revolves around a romantic mystification of the name of Meta Abegg, a friend from Schumann's youth, whose surname inspired Schumann to a theme on A-B-E-G-G (a-hb-e-g-g). The “rewarding and sparkling piece” – as it was described by a critic of the time – makes high technical demands, but is distinguished by a youthful freshness and ingenious virtuosity. With this work (the first, incidentally, that Schumann deemed worthy of publication), Henle has issued a good third of Schumann's piano works in revised versions that take account of the current state of research. The thoroughly-revised musical text is complemented by an informative preface and detailed commentary. Further revised volumes are in progress.

Great Book, Slow Delivery
The Henle edition is a great edition because it is URTEXT, so it tells you just what the composer had in mind. Physically it's great because once you open the book, it will stay open, unlike the Schirmer editions where you have to break the spine back a million times...
