This
complete edition of
Beethoven's
correspondence has been
edited by Sieghard
Brandenburg on commission
from the Beethoven House
in Bonn. It forms a
milestone in the study of
Beethoven, being the
first complete edition in
German to be compiled and
fully annotated in
accordance with modern
scholarly-critical
criteria. The edition
includes all of
Beethoven's known letters
(1,789 items of primary
correspondence), all
obtainable letters
written to him (370 items
of secondary
correspondence) and
numerous documents
written on Beethoven's
behalf by third parties
(163 items of tertiary
correspondence). It
provides the text in a
diplomatic transcription
critically corroborated
against the original
sources, including
deleted passages,
addresses and drafts. The
texts are presented in
chronological order in
six volumes and are made
readily accessible by a
seventh volume containing
indices of names, places,
works, senders,
recipients, and text
incipits as well as a
list of sources and
concordances to other
editions of Beethoven's
letters.
