Urtext
virgin territory: the
Fidelio OvertureTo this
day, the two major
Fidelio overtures are
still performed from
music texts that go back
to the imprecise and
corrupted first editions
of the parts. In the
meantime, however, the
state of the sources for
both works has
significantly improved
through many new
findings.For the new
Fidelio Overture, which
was written at lightning
speed in 1814 for the
reprise of the opera (and
was performed with a
slight delay), there is a
copy of the score in the
Austrian National Library
which offers a reliable
basis for a new,
text-critical edition.
This manuscript, in which
one finds countless
indications of
corrections and
completions in
Beethoven's hand, is the
only extant source that
was examined by the
composer
himself.

Promising
Discovery When a
recording of this
Symphony No. 17 by
Friedrich Schneider
appeared in 2002, it
attracted some attention.
Now, Breitkopf & Hartel
presents the work that,
like all Schneider's
symphonies, had remained
unpublished, for the
first time in a modern
edition. The composer
does not use a
pathetic-heroic tone as
suggested by the key, but
follows the urgent,
roving, and cantabile
character that the key
has possessed, especially
in early Romanticism
since the Sturm und
Drang. It is reminiscent
of Franz Schubert who
ventured a very similar
reinterpretation of the
classical symphony. With
this work Schneider
succeeds in designing a
remarkably coherent and
carefully developed
composition. A gain for
the repertoire, since the
symphony, composed in
1822 and premiered that
year in the Leipzig
Gewandhaus, shows so much
merit.

Franz von
Schober.
In late
September or early
October 1821 Schubert and
his close friend, Franz
von Schober, vacationed
in the countryside of
Lower Austria. Their
first stopover was at
Ochsenburg Castle, which
belonged to the Bishop of
St. Pölten (a close
relative of
Schober’s), after
which they moved on to
St. Pölten itself.
Roughly a year earlier,
two stage works by
Schubert had been
performed in Vienna: the
one-act singspiel Die
Zwillingsbrüder and
the melodrama Die
Zauberharfe. The
librettos were both
written by the seasoned
Viennese playwright Georg
von Hofmann, who blamed
the press for the
indifferent reception the
two works were given by
the audience. Schubert
and Schober now decided,
it would seem, to write a
grand romantic opera
uninfluenced by the
workaday world of the
theatre and beholden
solely to their own ideas
of what an opera should
be.
Not until 24
June 1854 was the opera
finally performed in
Weimar, under the baton
of Franz Liszt. It only
achieved success,
however, in an
arrangement by Johann
Nepomuk Fuchs that was
staged on many German and
Austrian stages in
1881–2, allegedly
with brilliant
acclaim.

Upon
hearing the words Big Sky
Country, one typically
thinks of the western
states; Montana in
particular. This piece,
however, depicts any
place where the sky is
vast, the view expansive,
and the setting natural.
The elements of the
music, with sweeping
melodic phrases and a few
key changes (G, C, D),
suggest a spirit of
adventure, freedom, the
outdoors, and the beauty
of the land. This lively
piece with melodic parts
for all---using slurs,
accents, divisi,
syncopation, and
accidentals---will
capture the enthusiasm of
players and audience
alike! (4:10).

Jean
Sibelius wrote his last
two tone poems
Aallottaret op. 73 and
Tapiola op. 112 as
commissions for the
United States.
Aallottaret is the
original Finnish title of
op. 73, as is found on
the autograph. Discreetly
concealed behind this
title, however, is the
title The Oceanides,
which also stems from
Sibelius, and which
Breitkopf & Hartel gladly
placed in first position
for the first edition of
1915, thus facilitating
the diffusion of the
work. The previously
unpublished early version
of Aallottaret is also
presented in the volume
of the Complete Edition;
it had been hastily
rejected shortly before
the world premiere.
Compared with this
genesis, the origin of
Tapiola , Sibelius last
great symphonic poem, is
relatively unspectacular:
though he was under
pressure to write and
publish the work,
Sibelius produced no
different versions. There
was only one printed
edition from Breitkopf
and no further revisions.
Thanks are given to
Professor Nors S.
Josephson for his
valuable work on this
volume, the editing of
which he began.
