Beethoven
described his grandly
conceived â??Missa
solemnisâ? as â??my
greatest workâ? and
sold manuscript copies to
some of the subscribers
even before it had
appeared in
print.
This Urtext
edition takes into
account all the sources
including the old and the
new complete editions
whose relationship is
clearly explained in a
stemma. In several
passages the renowned
Beethoven specialist
Barry Cooper has arrived
at variant readings, such
as in the
â??Sanctusâ?, where
the choir enters instead
of the soloists, rather
than coming in at
â??Pleni sunt
coeliâ?. No less
worthy of mention is the
addition of the soloists
to the choir in most of
the â??Credoâ?. These
matters and many other
editorial decisions are
documented in the
detailed Critical
Commentary
(Eng).
The
appendix contains
Beethovenâ??s
arrangement of the
Gregorian chant
â??Tantum ergoâ? for
the first time. This was
composed at the same time
as the â??Missa
solemnisâ? and most
probably stands in a
close relation to
it.
This edition
is designed for everyone
seeking a combination of
a reliable musical text
and well-founded
editorial suggestions for
a successful performance
of this
masterpiece.
