With the publication of the performance materials to the Mendelssohn Complete Edition, Breitkopf & Hartel is fulfilling its promise to release the conducting scores, parts and, in the case of well-known orchestral pieces, separate materials as soon as possible after the appearance of the respective volume in the Complete Edition. Breitkopf believes that all these important new scholarly findings should be made available directly to performers and taken into consideration in as many Mendelssohn performances as possible.

Mendelssohn wrote his March, op. 108, in 1841 for a festival celebrating the famous painter Peter Von Cornelius' visit to Dresden. It is a stately and festive sounding work, and a rarely performed gem by one of the world's great composers. Careful observance of articulations and dynamics will make this march spring to life. This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.

The Overture for Harmoniemusik in C major op. 24 MWV P 1 by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy is a special work in two respects: on the one hand, it is unique in its instrumentation in the composer's oeuvre - in the main version for 23 wind instruments; on the other hand, it exists in several versions originating from Mendelssohn himself, namely a variant for eleven wind instruments from 1826 and two arrangements for piano four hands from 1838. These versions, called Nocturno and Overture for Harmonie- and Militairmusik respectively - form the content of the present volume. The outstanding position of the composition is also underlined by a considerable variety of sources, by a number of unresolved questions connected with its composition, e.g. concerning the specifics of the contemporary instruments to be used, and by the fact that the overture in the extended wind version was the only piece of this body of works that the self-critical composer considered worthy of publication. The inspiration for its composition ultimately goes back to a stay by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy and his father in 1824 at the Baltic Sea resort of Doberan (then: Dobberan), where the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin maintained a summer residence surrounded by members of his court orchestra of national renown. Thus, the music sketched there was initially not given a title, but was always referred to in the Mendelssohn family as Dobberan harmony music in reference to the place associated with it.

Christian Martin Schmidt is laying bare to musical practice the original form of Mendelssohn's epoch-making Overture to A Midsummer Night's Dream buried beneath layers of falsified material for the first time.
ISBN 9790004337387. 10 x 12.5 inches.
Autograph lays bare Mendelssohn's Overture to A Midsummer Night's Dream To this day, Mendelssohns epoch-making Overture to A Midsummer Night's Dream has been performed on the basis of a more than dubious transmission. Neither the first edition of the parts (1832), and certainly not the print of the score based on these parts (1835) go back directly to the autograph of the 17-year-old composer, which is now located in Krakow. No wonder, since Mendelssohn had breezily given away his original at an early date. The result: during his lifetime, versions were published with his authorization, even though they were full of unintended inconsistencies. Yet the autograph of 1826 is unequivocal: it is clear, practically free of irregularities and diverges considerably from the corrupted printed version. Christian Martin Schmidt comes up with occasionally differing musical passages, but above all with logical and compositionally compelling performance instructions, laying bare to musical practice the original form buried beneath layers of falsified material for the first time.Christian Martin Schmidt is laying bare to musical practice the original form of Mendelssohn's epoch-making Overture to A Midsummer Night's Dream buried beneath layers of falsified material for the first time.

I had really become especially fond of this piece, although it is hardly appropriate for the so-called public; but I liked it..., wrote Mendelssohn about his setting of Psalm CXIV.
ISBN 9790004330241. 9 x 12 inches.
Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy set the 114th Psalm to music during a summer holiday in Horchheim near Koblenz in 1839. After the world premiere at the Leipzig Gewandhaus, he subjected the score to a thorough revision, altered all the tempo markings and, above all, added a considerable amount of new measures. The result satisfied even the notoriously self-critical Mendelssohn: I had really become particularly fond of this piece, even though it is hardly appropriate for the so-called public; but I liked it...The present Urtext edition follows the first prints which were published simultaneously in Leipzig (by Breitkopf & Hartel) and London.

Die Chormusik hat in der europaischen Musikgeschichte die wohl ungebrochenste Tradition. Trotz ihrer verschiedenen Stile und zeitbedingten Erscheinungsformen ist sie wegen ihrer unmittelbaren Bindung an die menschliche Stimme die naturlichste aller Kunste geblieben und erfreut sich heute dank der Wirkung und Bedeutung leistungsfahiger Chorensembles einer neuen Wertschatzung in unserer Gesellschaft. Damit ist auch ein neues Bedurfnis fur das Verstehen ihrer Zusammenhange unter ganz unterschiedlichen Gesichtspunkten entstanden.Chormusik und Analyse beschaftigt sich erstmal in 18 Beitragen namhafter Musikwissenschaftler und des Herausgebers mit der Formanalyse und der Interpretation mehrstimmiger a-cappella-Vokalmusik von der ars antiqua durch alle Stilepochen bis zur Gegenwart. Dabei zeigt sich, dass die Chormusik kein Nebenschauplatz der Musikgeschichte ist und war, sondern durch ganze Jahrhunderte ihr eigentliches Zentrum bildete. Die geistigen Dimensionen der einzelnen Beitrage, die Vielfalt der Gesichtspunkte und stilistische Breite der behandelten Literatur machen diese Analysensammlung zu einem hochst informativen Buch, das sich Chorleitern und Studenten, Komponisten, Wissenschaftlern und allen denen empfiehlt, die in und mit der Chormusik leben.
