Par ROSSINI GIOACHINO. This study score is based on the critical edition of “ The Barber Of Seville ” edited by Patricia B. Brauner and published in 2008 as part of the series “Works of Gioachino Rossini”. But who needs a new critical edition of “ The Barber Of Seville ”? The opera has been performed in theatres throughout the world since 1816 and has never been absent from the repertoire. There are two reasons for a critical new edition: firstly, none of the early editions satisfy modern demands for a scholarly-critical edition. Secondly, there is a wealth of previously unpublished material relating to this opera, of great interest to both scholars andperformers. Thus the famous overture, which Rossini had already used in his earlier opera “Aureliano in Palmira”, differs noticeably from earlier editions in many places. The new edition enables performers to perform the overture either in its original scoring (as in “Aureliano in Palmira”), which includes two Flutes, two Oboes and Timpani, or in the scoring for the subsequent opera “ The Barber Of Seville ” (with just one flute, one oboe and no timpani). A series of appendices contain music and information which have been included in no other edition of the opera to date. - Takes into account all original sources, also including five manuscripts with Rossini’s autograph ornamentation. - Takes into consideration the full extent of Rossini ’s personal notational characteristics. - With a detailed foreword (Eng/Ital)/ Répertoire / Partition de Poche

Par DEBUSSY CLAUDE. One of the most influential composers of the 20th century, Debussy overturned traditional concepts of form, harmony, rhythm, and orchestral coloration. Among his most popular works are the compositions in this volume, Prelude A ' L'Apres-Midi D'Un Faune and the Three Nocturnes, Clouds, Festivals and Sirens. The Nocturnes are described as 'exquisite, evocative models of Impressionism' and are all fantastic examples of the expressiveness and character of music from this period. These important compostitions, in Dover Miniature Score format, are reproduced from authoritative early editions./ RĂ©pertoire / Partition de Poche

Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. J. S. Bach ’s Four Orchestral Suites belong to that select group of works one could truly call classical hits! They stem from Bach ’s extremely productive time in Cöthen which ended in 1721. Unfortunately the only sources that have come down to us are copyist parts from Leipzig. These originally formed the basis for the critical complete edition volume which was published in 1967 as part of the “New Bach Edition”. At that time Bärenreiter also issued separate scores and parts which however were prepared with additional articulation and performance suggestions. Bärenreiter’s new edition of Bach’s great four suites nowpresents the Urtext as found in the “New Bach Edition” i. e. without emendations and performance suggestions. The orchestral parts have been re-engraved and the material includes an alternative version of the Overture and Air to the D major suite BWV 1068 including a “Violino concertato” part. - Urtext editions of these important works. - Newly engraved parts and fully realized continuo. - For the first time an alternative version of the Overture and Air to the D major suite BWV 1068 with “ Violino concertato ” is included. - Full scores, study scores and performance material available for sale./ Répertoire / Partition de Poche

Par SCHUBERT FRANZ. This study score of Franz Schubert 's complete string trios (Violin, Viola and Violoncello) takes its text from the New Schubert Edition. It also includes Schubert 's very first essay in the genre, which only resurfaced in 1997: the draft trio in B-flat major, D 111A (1814). Besides this draft, two other trios in B-flat major written a short while later have come down to us: D 471 and D 581. The first is likewise a fragment as it breaks off in m. 39 of the second movement. D 581 survives in two versions, the first based on the autograph score, the second on a set of parts prepared and thoroughly revised by Schubert. Both versionsprovide useful performance alternatives that differ widely in their form, rhythm, articulation and dynamics. - All of Schubert 's string trios - All drafts and alternative versions for the first time in a study score - Urtext from the New Schubert Edition Contents: - Trio in B-flat major, D 471 (movement 1) - Trio in B-flat major, D 581 (versions 1 and 2) - Incomplete first movement to Trio in B-flat major, D 111A - Incomplete second movement to Trio in B-flat major, D 471/ RĂ©pertoire / Partition de Poche

Cantata for Sunday Sexagesimae. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Gleichwie der Regen und Schnee vom Himmel fällt (Like as the Raindrops and Snow from Heaven fall) BWV 18 Cantata for Sunday Sexagesimae, Leipzig Version. These editions of Bach Cantatas offer the authoritative text of the New Bach Edition meeting Bärenreiter Urtext standards. No group of works in Johann Sebastian Bach's output is as wide-ranging as the cantatas. This is hardly surprising considering that for over five years Bach was required to compose a work, or at least re-work an existing one, for every Sunday and festival of the church year, as well as for numerous secular occasionssuch as council inaugurations, school and university celebrations and royal birthdays. Unfortunately, not all cantatas have survived. However, over 200 sacred and secular works exist and form a corpus of works suitable for all possible occasions. This rich musical heritage is still as relevant today as it was then. - Performance material vocal score & study score available for sale/ Répertoire / Partition de Poche

Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. “I know for a fact that the Emperor is proposing to mount a German opera in Vienna, and that he is making every effort to find a young Kapellmeister who understands German, has talent and is capable of striking out on a new path. [. . . ] I think it would be a good thing for me – provided, of course, that the pay is good. If the Emperor will give me a thousand gulden, I will write a German opera for him. ” Thus Mozart in a letter of 10–11 January 1778 from Mannheim to his father, Leopold. He continued by asking his father to “write to every good friend in Vienna you can think of and say that it is in my power to do honor to the Emperor. If he won’t take meon any other terms, then let him try me with an opera. After that he can do what he likes for all I care. ” Urtext of the New Mozart Edition Full score (BA4591-01), vocal score (BA4591-90) and study score format 22. 5 x 16. 5cm (TP311) available for sale Performance material available for hire (BA4591-72)/ Répertoire / Partition de Poche
