Beethoven's "Diabelli Variations", written between 1819 and 1823, mark the pinnacle of his oeuvre for variations and next to Bach's "Goldberg Variations" form one of the most important contributions to this genre.

In the Preface of this edition, the editor Mario Aschauer describes the very complex source situation. Discrepancies between the main sources are presented with ossias in light grey print. A detailed Critical Commentary (Eng) and notes regarding Viennese piano performance practice during Beethoven’s day (Ger/Eng) complete this fine Urtext edition.

Lindley, Robert
Capriccios and Exercises for the Violoncello op. 15
BARENREITER URTEXT
Editor: Walden, Valerie
BA 10936 | EUR 16.95 | 9790006567287
Robert Lindley (1776-1855) was the premier cellist in England for more than 50 years. In 1822 he became the first professor of cello at the Royal Academy of Music in London, where he remained until his retirement in 1851. Lindley, an esteemed and much sought-after teacher, wrote not only the present Capriccios but also a cello method, several concertos, and chamber music in which the cello is prominently featured.

The "Capriccios and Exercises" contain a multitude of fingering patterns in related major and minor harmonies, exercises for the thumb position and many passages of double stops, all within a melodious framework. Barenreiter's scholarly performing edition is edited by Valerie Walden, offering cellists and teachers outstanding new material for use in lessons.

Buchcover
Edition of those sections of the Mass surviving in complete form

Reconstruction of movements handed down in fragmentary form

Completion of the incomplete movements

Reconstructed or added parts rendered in small print
Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus
Missa in C minor K. 427 "Great Mass in C minor"
BARENREITER URTEXT
Editor and Arranger: Leisinger, Ulrich
BA 9188 | EUR 84.00 | Full score | 9790006565092
Mozart's magnificent unfinished "Great Mass in C minor" K. 427 is impressive not only for its monumentality and musical beauty but for its fragmentary state which has fascinated scholars and performers for decades.

Working together with the International Mozarteum Foundation in Salzburg, Barenreiter now presents a new edition of this work, reflecting the cutting edge of scholarship while doing justice to the needs of performers.

High scholarly standards, the completion and reconstruction of movements: this pioneering publication incorporates all this in order to come as close as possible to the work itself:
- The Kyrie and Gloria, both of which survived complete in Mozart's autograph, are edited in accordance with scholarly standards.
- The first two sections of the Credo have been meticulously completed by the editor Ulrich Leisinger, drawing on original Mozart compositions, e.g. the aria "Deh vieni non tardar" from "The Marriage of Figaro" and paying attention to a stylistically appropriate and transparent sound.
- The Sanctus and Benedictus (with the Hosanna), which are either incomplete or survive only in secondary sources, have been reconstructed by the editor.

Sections without any known sources are left out in this edition. Rounding off the publication are an extensive Foreword (Ger/Eng) and a detailed Critical Commentary (Eng).

This hardcover vocal score includes an appendix with the duet between Tamino and Papageno "Pamina, wo bist du?" It has been handed down in a copy of the full score from the early 19th century and is thought, at least in parts, to stem from Mozart.

Ulrich Leisinger, Director of the Research Department at the International Mozarteum Foundation, gives a detailed account of the historical background and composition in a supplement to the Foreword.

Rameau, Jean-Philippe
Pigmalion RCT 52
Editor: Berton-Blivet, Nathalie
BA 8861-90 | EUR 19.95 | Vocal score (Fr) | 9790006558186
Composed for the Academie Royale de Musique, "Pigmalion" is the first one-act ballet to be introduced by an overture. Here Rameau turned to the form of the "petit opera". From the moment of its initial revival "Pigmalion"was extremely successful, and it remained so until 1781. Nathalie Berton-Blivet's new edition is based primarily on the performance material used at the Opera between 1748 and 1781 and for the revival at Fontainebleau in October 1754.

This later version, the one Rameau considered final, is reconstructed in the volume of the complete edition Opera omnia Rameau (OOR). Francois Saint-Yves has prepared a new keyboard reduction from this version. The vocal score also contains an Introduction in French and English.

Beethoven, Ludwig van
String Quartet op. 130 / Grande Fugue op. 133 in B-flat major
Documenta musicologica II/55 / Barenreiter Facsimile
BVK 2464 | EUR 349.00 | 9783761824641
There is a price reduction for subscribers of the Documenta Musicologica series.
"Unintelligible, like Chinese", a contemporary Viennese critic remarked on the premiere of Ludwig van Beethoven's Grande Fugue op. 133 in March 1826. Before Beethoven penned a more concise finale, the Grande Fugue concluded his String Quartet in B-flat major op. 130, a remarkable work in every sense of the word and one of the boldest of its time. With its six movements, it defies traditional form and today, it is regarded as a pinnacle among Beethoven's late string quartets.

After the composer's death, the original manuscript suffered a strange fate. It was separated into movements and distributed to different owners.

The parts of the autograph strewn across libraries in Europe and the United States have now been reunited in this facsimile edition for the first time in over 190 years.

The facsimile is rendered in high-quality colour printing, reproducing the autograph in such detail that Beethoven's correction process where he pasted over previous entries becomes evident. Without disturbing the bibliophilic overall impression, movement and measure numbers have been added to each page to facilitate usage. An Introduction by renowned musicologist Ulrich Konrad, winner of the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize, elaborates on the work's distinctive features and its history.

Reduced subscription price available
The new edition of Janacek's penultimate opera "The Makropulos Affair" is a reconstruction of the work's original version, which shows only a few deviations from the final version. The opera was premiered on 18 December 1926 at the National Theatre Brno with the composer in attendance. The second authorized copy of the score, prepared by Jaroslav Kulhanek, was used for the performance material. This copy also served as the primary source for the new critical edition of the full score.

This edition features clearly marked performance instructions by one of the editors, the experienced Janacek conductor Tomas Hanus. As they have been graphically offset, they can easily be distinguished from the original version.These practical suggestions facilitate the production of the opera and allow the conductor to study the work more easily. In this way, the performance material offers a welcome alternative to previous editions of the opera.

Compositions with a rich and expressive harmony

Includes instructive Foreword and Critical Commentary

With facsimiles from music and text sources
Telemann, Georg Philipp
Neues Lied
Georg Philipp Telemann. Musikalische Werke 53
Editor: Rettelbach, Simon
BA 7810-01 | EUR 495.00 | Full score | 9790006560080
Reduced subscription price available
This volume presents 13 pieces of sacred music from Telemann's cycle "Neues Lied" based on poems by Gottfried Simonis. In 1717 Telemann composed the music to be used between Trinity Sunday and the end of the church year, in 1720/21 those meant for the first half of the church year. The edited pieces include compositions from both phases: those written for the final Sundays of the 1717 church year as well as those from the first Sunday of Advent until the third Christmas day of 1720/21.

The sacred pieces are introduced by a four-part dictum, followed by alternating arias and recitatives, and concluded by a chorale verse. The magnificently constructed introductory tutti movements are characterized by prima practica polyphony and the arias contain rich word painting to describe the emotions, while Telemann's instrumentation shows a carefully directed use of color. Another distinguishing mark of this cycle is the rich and expressive harmony of each individual composition.

An instructive Foreword includes information on the complex genesis and the characteristics of the cycle. The Critical Commentary analyses and describes the works' sources and history. As now established in the volumes of the "Telemann Musical Works", an edition of the texts has been included. The volume is rounded off by facsimiles of both the music and text sources.

Schutz, Heinrich
Kleine geistliche Konzerte I 1636 SWV 282 - 305
Heinrich Schutz. Neue Ausgabe samtlicher Werke 10/11
Editors: Werbeck, Walter / Schmidt, Beate Agnes
BA 5965-01 | EUR 243.00 | Full score | 9790006497683
Reduced subscription price available
The "Kleine geistliche Konzerte" (Small Sacred Concertos), published in two parts in 1636 and1639, are among the best-known and well-loved compositions of Heinrich Schutz. Both parts constitute a collection of vocal pieces in a broad range of styles written for only a few voices with basso continuo. Most of the texts are in German, but some are also in Latin. The first volume presents a broad spectrum of vocal scoring, musical forms and texts: there are solo concertos in the Italian style, traditional four-part motets, well-known Psalm texts set to music, hymns as well as mystically contemplative meditative literature. The concertos' monodic qualities and high level of virtuosity - especially in the compositions with German text - made Schutz a household name shortly after the "Kleine geistliche Konzerte" were published in print. As the works required no large ensembles, they could be performed for different occasions and in various locations; particularly during the Thirty Years' War they could be heard at court, in cities or in villages but also in schools or at home.

Unlike the 1963 edition of the "Kleine geistliche Konzerte" (BA 3664, BA 3665, BA 3666) as part of the New Schutz Edition, this new volume presents the works for the first time in their original form and order. A historic-critical evaluation of all relevant sources yields new information regarding the composer's intentions, the printing process and the works' reception. Furthermore, the edition includes a reconstruction of an earlier version that has not been published until now. This edition is geared towards musicologists, as well as professional musicians and amateurs with a keen interest in early music.
