Spiritual AffinitiesSchumann had already worked on Byron's Manfred as a law student, and the topic fascinated him from that time on. Perhaps he discovered a spiritual affinity to himself in the romantic hero's inner conflict? In any event, he decided on a stage rendition of the drama with incidental music, an entirely new genre that he had been dreaming of for some time already. He conducted the overture - it dates from 1848 - for the first time as a separate piece in March 1852. In addition, he followed the preparations for the first edition of the complete performance material very closely, which was published by Breitkopf in Leipzig that same year. The Breitkopf Urtext edition of the Manfred Overture is based on this first print of the score and parts revised by Schumann. At the same time, this edition also marks a new chapter in the expansion of the collection of Schumann overtures that have already been published by Breitkopf (to Hermann und Dorothea op. 136, Szenen aus Goethes Faust WoO 3 and Genoveva op. 81).

Audiences should be ready for something new and unheard of, wrote Robert Schumann to Franz Liszt in late 1851, referring to the world premiere of his Dramatic Poem Manfred.

Arnold Schonberg ist die zentrale Erscheinung der Musik dieses Jahrhunderts. Seine Bedeutung ist noch zu seinen Lebzeiten offenbar geworden, sein Einfluss uber seinen Tod hinaus machtig. Seine Werke haben eine grundlegende Wandlung des musikalischen Weltbildes eingeleitet.Die Ausgabe samtlicher Werke von Arnold Schonberg nimmt fur sich in Anspruch, der Forschung wie der musikalischen Praxis gleichermassen zu dienen. Sie erscheint in zwei Serien: Die Serie A in Folioformat enthalt die vollendeten Werke, die vom Komponisten gefertigten Klavierauszuge und die auffuhrbaren unvollendeten Werke; ferner Fragmente, die in dieser Serie wegen des Grossformats (grosse Partituren) besser unterzubringen sind. Die Serie B in Quartformat enthalt Fruhfassungen, Skizzen, Entwurfe und Fragmente sowie den Kritischen Bericht und die Genesis.

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.
