Scholarly critical edition with many corrections in the score and orchestral parts.Clear presentation of orchestral parts in an enlarged format 25.5 cm x 32.5 cm.?Prélude A L?Aprés-Midi D?Un Faune? often referred to as the first composition of the ?modern? era is one of Debussy?s most popular and frequently performed orchestral works. The piece comes down to us in an array of sources and several important ones are drawn upon for the first time in Bärenreiter?s scholarly-critical edition.Most of the currently available editions are based on the first edition from 1895 which however contains many engraver errors.When the corresponding orchestral parts are also taken into consideration countless discrepancies are revealed.Bärenreiter?s Urtext edition incorporates readings of a printed copy of the score from c. 1908 which shows corrections and emendations by the composer. These important changes found in no other source include metronome markings different pitches and additional notes as well as added tempo and articulation markings which all subtly enhance Debussy?s finely sculpted work. There is even a breath mark added to the famous solo Flute passage which opens the work.

Par DVORAK ANTONIN. The profound impression it makes on us is due in part to the sequence of variations on a death motif that seems to have been borrowed from the beginning of the second Kyrie from Bach's Mass in B minor. Written in 1890, it was commissioned by the publisher Novello for the Birmingham Music Festival and premiered there under the direction of the composer on 9 October 1891. For this performance, Dvorák used a copy of the score which he had personally examined and which later served as the engraver's copy. The Dvorák scholar Klaus Döge succeeded in tracking down its location and evaluating this important source for the first time. It contains the 'Fassung letzter Hand' and, moreover, offers valuable insights into Dvorák's conducting workshop. It served as the principal source for the Breitkopf Urtext edition./ Répertoire / Alto

Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. Le 'Köchel' indique toujours l'autographe d'air de Mozart tant apprécié, mais a étiqueté 'manquantes' depuis 1964. La 'Neue Mozart Ausgabe-' n'était donc plus en mesure de prendre en considération. Maintenant, cependant, le manuscrit a réapparu et a été utilisé comme une source authentique pour cette nouvelle édition (1997). préface 'Eine Aria in die Oper, der von Balbier Seviglien. Für MADAME Hoffer. 2 Violini, viole, 2 Clarinetti, 2 Fagotti, 2 Corni e Bassi. Schon lacht Frühling der Holde.' Cette entrée dans le catalogue de Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart travail manuscrite se trouve sous la date du 17 Septembre 1789. Toutefois, étant donné que la performance prévue d'un accord allemand de Barbier de Paisiello a été apparemment abandonné, Mozart semble avoir mis de côté la pièce sans l'achever. Josepha Hofer (née Weber), le plus jeune soeur Constanze Mozart, était d'avoir chanté cet air, destiné à Rosina. En tant que membre de la Freihaustheater Schikaneder, elle a chanté la Reine de la Nuit à la première représentation de la Flûte enchantée. En plus de la partie vocale, le score fragmentaires ne contient que la ligne de basse ainsi que des répliques instrumentales pour une orchestration avenir. La version de l'éditeur orchestralement complété, délivré par le même éditeur, est basé sur le manuscrit autographe conservé à la Österreichische Nationalbibliothek à Vienne. Cette autographe a été redécouvert qu'en 1988. Nous avons poursuivi nos efforts pour fournir un son mozartien dans la réalisation instrumentale de la partition tout en préparant cet arrangement pour soprano, clarinette et piano. Depuis la première clarinette tisse à plusieurs reprises autour de la partie de soprano dans thr version orchestrale, il semblait parfaitement naturel producc l'arrangement actuel. En outre, il apportera inévitablement à l'esprit de Franz Schubert Der Hirt auf dem Felsen (même clé, section du milieu en sol mineur). Nous tenons à remercier la Österreichische Nationalbibliothek à Vienne pour mettre des copies de la source à notre disposition. Franz Beyer Munich, printemps 1997/ Répertoire / Alto
