The present edition is based on all relevant sources. The preface sketches the work's genesis from the moment of its conception in Rome in late December 1879 (Yesterday, out in the streets, I heard a wonderful folksong that I will most certainly make use of.) to the first reviews, in which Tchaikovsky was accused of triviality and of having made an extremely unfortunate choice of themes. Yet this did nothing to hamper the worldwide success of the work, and Tchaikovsky's composer colleagues also culled ideas from it: a few years later, Tchaikovsky himself was the dedicatee of Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov's Capriccio espagnol.Mit seinen Urtext-Studienpartituren setzt Breitkopf nicht nur auf eine bewahrte Tradition, sondern blickt offenbar auch guten Mutes in die Zukunft. (Michael Kube, Schweizer Musikzeitung)Mit bemerkenswerter Konsequenz wird die Neuherausgabe von Studienpartituren fortgesetzt. Fast unnotig, zu erwahnen, dass die uberdurchschnittliche Seitenaufteilung, der vorbildlich klarer Druck das Studium auch eines so bekannten Werkes zu einer genussreichen Freude machen.
