Mu
sical composition is
always related to the
work's realisation in
sound. A written form is
required in order to give
shape to the
compositional intention.
Consequently it is text,
the musical text, which
mediates between the act
of composition and the
performance. The object
of the musical edition is
to prepare the text so
that the will of the
composer is presented to
the musicians in a way
that allows the
composition to become
realised musically. The
edition thus inevitably
establishes a conflict
between divergent
orientations, such as
between science and
practice, preservation
and actualization, as
well as textual criticism
and hermeneutics. Because
his editorial decisions
are fundamentally
interpretive the editor
must know and understand
the historical and
hermeneutical problems of
his subject, especially
when it comes to
determining what stage of
the work is to be
presented. The editing of
music is not always
restricted to mediation;
it may also represent a
translation.
The
present collection of
essays -- all but one, in
German -- is a
Festschrift for
Petra Weber's 60th
birthday. It combines
contributions on music
and music editing by
Robert Abels, Fabian

Beate Angelika Kraus,
Heinz von Loesch,
Albrecht von Massow,
Gerhard Poppe, Michael
Raab, Bernhold Schmid,
Wilhelm Seidel, Glenn
Stanley, Andreas Traub,
and Reinhard Wiesend.
Among the composers
treated, Ludwig van
Beethoven will occupy a
prominent place. Special
consideration will also
given to Didier Lupi,
Francesco Cavalli, Johann
Sebastian Bach, Johann
Adolf Hasse, Franz
Schubert, Giovanni Simone
Mayr, Ferruccio Busoni,
Carl Orff, and Sandor
Veress.
