Stra
uss's first tone poem
distinguishes itself from
all other subsequent
orchestral compositions
in its existence in three
different versions. Even
among the operas and
other compositions in his
hand there is no other
work with a comparable
history of origin and
publication. What is
more, the final version
of Macbeth is the only
valid form of the work
and the only variant with
further sources (cf.
Critical Report) in
addition to the autograph
score. In contrast, the
second version has only
been preserved in an
autograph score and
autograph piano reduction
(the orchestral parts
which must have existed
have obviously not
survived). This was never
printed and was replaced
by the published third
version. The two
surviving versions should
therefore not be
considered to be of equal
status. Unlike the case
of Ariadne auf Naxos in
which the earlier version
was for a time the sole
valid alternative and was
yet never completely
displaced by the soon
dominating later version
of the opera, only the
final third version of
Macbeth is considered as
valid. Right from the
outset, it was a matter
of course for the editors
of the present volume to
include the second
version as a first
publication (in addition
to the above-mentioned
surviving pages of the
first version), albeit in
different forms. The
surviving pages of the
first version are
reproduced in facsimile
and the second version,
as a subordinate form of
the work, appears
alongside Strauss's piano
reduction in a modified
source edition, i.e.
without intervention on
the part of the editors.
The ultimate third
version is published as a
full edition (please
refer to the Critical
Report for further
details). In order to
facilitate a comparative
study of the second and
third versions, the
relevant page numbers of
the score are placed
opposite one another (the
autograph piano reduction
of the second version is
included at the end of
the music section of the
volume). The editors hope
that this synoptic
representation will
prompt interest in
further studies on
Strauss's art of
orchestration: a field of
research which has still
remained insufficiently
examined. A study of
Macbeth namely
illuminates as clearly as
could be wished how much
significance Strauss
allotted to sound
alongside form. The
subjects were not merely
intended to generate an
individual figure, but
also specific tonal
colours, and the
instrumentation was
simultaneously designed
to provide an optimal
communication of
thematic-motivic texture
to the audience. The 'new
path' threw up
consequences which caused
Strauss a considerable
amount of difficulty. He
was however a fast
learner and had already
swum free with Don Juan
and all the more with Tod
und Verklarung.

When
the 24-year-old Richard
Strauss, assistant
conductor in Munich,
began the composition of
his third tone poem in
the summer of 1888, he
saw himself close to the
aspiration prescribed by
his mentor Alexander
Ritter: to become the
successor of Richard
Wagner as a musical
dramatist. Strauss had
already been working on
the text of his first
opera Guntram for a year
and additionally devoted
himself to programmatic
orchestral works oriented
to the musical language
of Liszt and Wagner in
order to prepare himself
compositionally for his
new task. With the aid of
Strauss and other
musicians including
Ludwig Thuille and
Friedrich Rösch who
had been gathering for
“Ritter's round
table†in Munich
between 1886 and 1889,
RitterÂ’s intention
was to achieve success on
a broad front with the
New German School
following the death of
its two protagonists
Wagner and Liszt. We do
not know whether Ritter
and his supporters
jointly planned Strauss's
compositional path
towards opera, determined
the subjectsof his
prospective tone poems
and considered various
strategies of their
musical realization, but
the influence of this
group shouldnot be
underestimated. It cannot
be ruled out that the
number of three tone
poems was fixed, as was
their sequence of
composition, which would
progressively achieve its
zenith in an increasing
orientation to Liszt and
Wagner. The circle could
possibly have also
discussed initial links
to literary subjects
(Macbeth and Don Juan)
and ultimately the
abstention from this
practice in the third and
final tone poem. The
subject of the work, or
rather in StraussÂ’s
formulation its
“poetic
modelâ€, has
occasionally been
interpreted from an
autobiographical aspect.
Strauss however did not
experience serious
illness until May 1891
and once more in June
1892, long after Tod und
Verklärung had been
composed. Even without an
external reason, the
material would have been
only too attractive for
an admirer of Wagner and
Liszt like Strauss, not
to mention for his mentor
Alexander Ritter. The
concept of 'death and
transfiguration' had
already played a central
role in LisztÂ’s
symphonic poems Tasso and
Prometheus.

Richard
Strauss's last completed
tone poem is regarded as
the pinnacle of his art
of orchestration: Now
I've finally learned to
orchestrate, he himself
is once supposed to have
said about it after the
dress rehearsal. The
single-movement Alpine
symphony that we know
today ultimately evolved
- over almost 15 years -
from the original drafts
of an artist's tragedy,
titled Der Antichrist.
Eine Alpensinfonie [The
Antichrist. An Alpine
Symphony] up to the stage
of the last sketches.
With unprecedented
plasticity, the work
showcases a
(metaphysical?) mountain
hike with stops in the
forest, at the waterfall,
on the alpine pasture
and, of course, at the
summit. Apropos alpine
pastures: up to the
score's fair copy stage,
Strauss envisaged a high
and a low alphorn for the
section Auf der Alm [On
the Alpine Pasture] and
the well-known Dulioh
theme, though for various
reasons first detailed in
our new Urtext edition,
these exotic instruments
did not find their way
into the printed version.
In the new edition, the
editor, Nick Pfefferkorn,
reproduces the alphorn
passages in small print,
also adding two alphorn
parts to the performance
material, besides
evaluating the
corrections made by
Walter Seifert at
Strauss's
request.

Farewell
Tod und Verklarung marks
a turning point in
Richard Strauss's corpus
of tone poems: Even
before the November 1889
premiere of his previous
work Don Juan, Strauss
had finished his third
work in this genre. He
leads the listener with
great clarity through the
dying hour of a person
who had pursued the
highest ideals. The
present Urtext edition
evaluates for the first
time all the corrections
that Strauss made in the
galley proofs of the
work's full score and
parts, correlating these
to the music text. The
preface provides insight
into the genesis and
reception history, while
the detailed Critical
Report systematically
documents all of the
editorial decisions.

Strauss
had originally intended
that Don Quixotealways be
performed, if possible,
together with
Heldenleben, since Don Q.
in particular is only
fully comprehensible
alongside Heldenleben. To
date, Strauss's wish is
rarely respected. The Don
Quixote Urtext edition
now being published by
Breitkopf & Hartel can
assist here. Once again,
the new edition is based
on Strauss's own
engraver's model, helping
to clarify numerous
misunderstandings, and
facilitating the
correction of dozens of
traditional errors.
Furthermore, the woodwind
parts, previously
available only in
manuscript form, are now
appearing completely
engraved for the first
time.This new edition is
also being augmented by a
piano reduction of the
most important orchestral
passages for facilitating
the study of the solo
cello and viola parts;
these two solo parts are
also separately included
with the purchase of the
piano
reduction.

With his
first horn concerto, the
merely eighteen-year-old
Richard Strauss succeeded
in producing a
captivating masterstroke.
To this day, the concerto
is beloved throughout the
world (not only) by horn
players, and together
with Mozart's
masterworks, numbers
among the essential
pieces in the
instrument's repertoire.
Peter Damm, former
principal horn for the
Staatskapelle Dresden and
world-class soloist, has
not only performed the
concerto publicly over
170 times himself, but
has also presented
pivotal research findings
and publications on its
genesis. Prepared after
reviewing all surviving
sources, the Urtext
edition he has edited may
thus been regarded as the
edition of reference. The
orchestral score,
available in a practical
study edition, eliminates
innumerable errors from
the first edition.

Strauss
third tone poem Don Juan
was composed in spring
1888. This work is
already an impressive
demonstration of the
composer's newly acquired
confidence in mastering
the orchestral apparatus.
Already completed in the
fall, it took over a year
until its premiere in
Weimar on November 11,
1889. Breitkopf &
Hartel's new Urtext
edition assesses not only
the autograph and the
first edition, but also
for the first time the
parts used under the
composer's direction,
resulting in some
surprisingly new
readings. An extensive
preface, facsimile pages,
and a detailed critical
report round off this
authoritative Urtext
edition.

from the first few notes,
the audience will be
captivated and ready for
this famous theme. This
