This new large-size paperback full score, based on the original printed score of 1929, provides a clearer and more authentic edition for conductors and students.
The original engraving has been graphically enhanced and edited with reference to the amended 1953 Edition Russe de Musique edition, the original engraved orchestral parts, and Ravel?s autograph manuscript.

This smart edition also features newly published editorial notes in English, French and German, plus facsimile pages from Ravel's original manuscript, containing markings made by the work?s commissioner Serge Koussevitsky.

Between 1996 and 2000 Bärenreiter published scholarly-critical editions of Beethoven's Nine Symphonies edited by the first class musicologist Jonathan Del Mar. The editorial process was a huge undertaking because of the complex source situation regarding Beethoven's Symphonies culminating in the Choral Symphony which came down to us in nearly 20 different sources. So it was not surprising that Bärenreiter's new Urtext edition caused a considerable stir in the music world. Since publication, Del Mar's edition enjoys the unabashed praise of conductors, performers and critics alike and has become the most widely used publication of the Beethoven Symphonies which can be heard not only every day in concert halls, but also on CD recordings by John Eliot Gardiner, David Zinman, Jos van Immerseel and Claudio Abbado. - A new reference set of Beethoven?s Symphonies for students, conductors and libraries Edition no.: BA 9000 ISMN: 9790006540952 Editor: Del Mar, Jonathan Language(s) of text: German, English Product format: Score, Anthology, Urtext edition Includes the following individual parts: Orchestra Binding: in a slipcase Pages / Format: 1186 S. - 32,2 x 25,0 cm
