The
editor, Engelbert
Rontgen, writes in his
foreword:Following a
commission by the
gentlemen Breitkopf &
Hartel in Leipzig to
produce a complete
edition of Beethoven's
string quartets supplied
with bowing marks and
fingerings, I undertook
this task on the basis of
the critical complete
edition of these
quartets, published in
1862. First of all, it
seemed necessary to
change the original
slurring in some places
to suit the bowing
technique, with regard to
performing and
expression.In the
quartets from Beethoven's
early period, the
performing marks often
lack the accuracy and
completeness that is
required for an exact
interplay, whereas they
are given in the quartets
of his later period
almost everywhere with
the greatest detail and
precision, . Furthermore,
the before mentioned
scores contain a number
of mistakes, which in all
likelihood may have crept
into the manuscripts as
writing mistakes.I have
therefore endeavored to
carefully add the missing
performing marks, as well
as to correct the
incorrect notes, without,
however, claiming to have
done everything that is
questionable.Breitkopf
Originals invite you to
take a fresh look at
19th-century reception
history.The music is
printed clearly and in a
larger than usual
size.(Rebekah Smith,
