The dating ?nel mese Decembre 1776? on the autograph of the Missa K. 258 is not authentic; it was most likely written towards 1775/76. On the autograph Leopold Mozart inscribed the title Missa but at the incipit on the old cover of the autograph collection he wrote Missa brevis. This points to the lack of standardization and uncertainty of the nomenclature. Although the work is written in the brevis form it calls for additional instruments besides the usual church trio which assigns it to the genre of the brevis et solemnis mass. Mozart added two oboes whose parts he wrote out himself and which are enclosed together with the primary copy. The two oboe parts seemto have been unavailable to any copyists.Urtext of the ?New Mozart Edition?Straightforward piano reduction in the vocal score Ideal for church services and concert performances Full score & performance material (BA4851) and vocal score (BA4851-90) for sale

La renommée de Carl Maria von Weber repose principalement sur, Der Freischütz '. Le succès sans précédent de cet opéra éclipsé tous ses autres ouvrages et a contribué à augmenter leur chute dans l'oubli. Certaines oeuvres comme, Preciosa ',, Oberon ', et, Euryanthe', les ouvertures, concertos solistes et sonates pour piano, le lied et de la chambre de travaille connu une grande popularité et ont été largement connu en Allemagne et à l'étranger aussi tard que la seconde moitié de la 19e siècle. Cependant, toute chance d'un renouveau de l'influence de Weber et deimportance de son oeuvre a été gaspillé dans les années 1920, quand une édition complète - commencé par Hans Joachim Moser et avec les contributeurs potentiels, y compris Wilhelm Kempff, Hans Pfitzner, Max von Schillings, Fritz Stein et Richard Strauss - a échoué après le troisième volume.Depuis il ya eu de nombreuses tentatives pour relancer une édition complète des oeuvres de Weber, mais comme ce genre de projet, il aurait fallu la coopération des chercheurs des deux côtés de la frontière inter-allemande, la situation politique après 1945 n'était pas propice à une telle entreprise. Négociations minutieuses conduit à des premières étapes tangibles dans les années 1980. L'intention, dès le début, était de placer l'oeuvre de Weber dans son contexte, et de ne pas séparer sa production musicale de son travail d'influence en tant qu'écrivain, critique et organisateur dans le domaine musical, mais de publier ses compositions avec ses lettres, journaux intimes et l'autre production littéraire comme le meilleur moyen de documenter la fertilisation croisée entre ses activités musicales, littéraires et pratique.Depuis la réunification allemande les deux parties de travailler les concernés - à la Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin, et au Séminaire Musikwissenschaftliches, Detmold / Paderborn - ont coopéré sur l'édition complète des oeuvres musicales (C. 45 volumes en 10 séries: sacrés la musique- cantates, des odes et d'autres oeuvres de circonstance- oeuvres théâtrales, des oeuvres de lieder et vocale- oeuvres pour orchestre- musique de chambre, musique pour piano- réductions pour piano- Miscellanea, arrangements et orchestrations, les oeuvres d'attribution douteuse). Le journal (6-8 vol.) Sont édités à Berlin et les lettres (8-10 vol.) Et d'autres écrits (2 vol.) À Detmold.Cette édition complète vise à constituer une base fiable de débat scientifique ainsi que pour la pratique de la performance authentique de la musique de Carl Maria von Weber. Conforme aux normes de ces dernières éditions historico-critiques, le matériau textuel sera basée sur toutes les sources disponibles authentiques, accompagnés par une documentation détaillée de la genèse et une liste de variantes pour chaque travail. L'importance des travaux musicologiques seront évaluées en les plaçant dans leur contexte historique, la présentation de leurs commentaires genèse, l'histoire et la critique. Les lettres, les écrits et les journaux seront traités comme liés entre eux et pertinentes les unes aux autres dans les commentaires, donc les lecteurs devraient bénéficier d'une mine d'informations concises et des références croisées. / Soliste, Choeur Et Orchestre

The ?Petite Messe Solennelle? is the finest work of Rossini?s late years. He composed it between 1863 and 1864 at the age of 71 as a commission for Countess Louise Pillet-Will for the consecration of her private chapel where the work received its first performance in March 1864. Together with the ?Stabat mater? the mass is one of the composer?s most important sacred works.The unusual instrumentation with two Pianos and Harmonium is entirely in keeping with the Neapolitan Keyboard tradition of the 18th century which was cultivated in France in Rossini?s day. It forms a distinct contrast to the style of large-scale sacred compositionsas written by for example Liszt and Bruckner. Rossini explained that he wrote the later Orchestral version of the work dating from 1867 out of concern that if he did not do this other composers might orchestrate the mass too heavily in later arrangements.The Piano reduction by Andreas Köhs is extremely idiomatic and largely preserves the charming character of the unusual instrumentation.- Based on the Urtext of the series ?Works of Gioachino Rossini?.- Foreword in two languages (Eng/Ger).- With a separate Harmonium part and one part for Pianos I and II.

Handel wrote the famous Dixit Dominus with the text of Psalm 109 during his time in Italy in c. 1707. Although he was only 22 years old the work already demonstrates his wide spectrum of compositional abilities which are later fully realized in his operas and oratorios. Central to this work are the six choral movements which with their polyphonic structure are closely related to German choral music of the 17th century.The first Urtext edition BA 4002 based on the Halle Handel Edition was published in 1960. At that time no critical commentary was published so that in cases of doubt the basis on which editorialdecisions were made was not officially recorded. A new complete edition volume (BA 10704/01) due to be published in 2013 will include a detailed foreword providing information on the genesis and the first performance of this work as well as information on the psalm on which this work is based and on performance practice. In addition several facsimiles pages will be included giving a view into the source material. The critical commentary will provide a detailed insight into all the available sources and how they have been passed down.This newly revised Urtext performing edition offers a thorough revision of this frequently-performed work and meets all the requisites of a scholarly-critical edition. Former readings in the old edition regarding a small number of pitches but mostly basso continuo figures and the underlying text have now been able to be amended on the basis of the new findings. In the new edition the work appears in nine movements no longer eight which reflects the composer's intentions.The new performance material is not compatible with the old one.Presented in a revised Urtext editionClear straightforward Piano reduction in the vocal scoreUrtext of the Halle Handel EditionFull score performance material (BA10704) & Vocal score (BA10704-90) available for sale

Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy completed his first oratorio St. Paul Op.36 in 1836 at the age of twenty-seven. The first version which was premiered on 22 May 1836 was then extensively revised by the composer. This second version which at the same time served as the basis for the published version was premiered as early as October that year in Birmingham. The acclaim with which the oratorio was received was exceptional. Within eighteen months of completing the score Mendelssohn was able to list fifty performances of the work. Robert Schumann praised the work effusively and even Richard Wagner who later denigrated Mendelssohn was full of admiration. Today St. Paul belongs to the core repertoire of sacred choral music.This Urtext edition of the oratorio edited by the internationally-recognised Mendelssohn scholar Michael Cooper is based on all critical sources. As well as the principal version of the work the score also includes for the first time numbers which were composed for the first version and subsequently removed.
