Prelude a
l'apres-midi d'un faune,
often referred to as the
first composition of the
modern era, is one of
Debussy's most popular
and frequently performed
orchestral works. The
piece comes down to us in
an array of sources, and
several important ones
are drawn upon for the
first time in
Baerenreiter's new
scholarly-critical
edition. Most of the
currently available
editions are based on the
first edition from 1895
which, however, contains
many engraver errors.
When the corresponding
orchestral parts are also
taken into consideration,
countless discrepancies
are
revealed.
Baerenreiter
's Urtext edition
incorporates readings of
a printed copy of the
score from c. 1908 which
shows corrections and
emendations by the
composer. These important
changes, found in no
other source, include
metronome markings,
different pitches and
additional notes, as well
as added tempo and
articulation markings,
which all subtly enhance
Debussy's finely sculpted
work. There is even a
breath mark added to the
famous solo flute passage
which opens the
work.
* Scholarly
critical edition with
many corrections in the
score and orchestral
parts * Clear
presentation of
orchestral parts in an
enlarged format.
