Bach's Wohltemperiertes Klavier was Bartók's first instructional publication, divided into four books. Bartók became a professor of piano at the Budapest Music Academy in 1907, and it was probably in this capacity that he was entrusted with preparing a Hungarian edition of the set of pieces. His basic idea was that students learning independently without adequate guidance should receive sufficient directions from the music to perform the works. As a consequence Bartók's score is deliberately over-detailed.For pedagogical reasons the composer ignored the original order of pieces, and compiled the material according to grades of difficulty, dividing it into four books. Thepresent edition presents the Bartók Wohltemperiertes Klavier in two volumes, each containing two books. One interesting feature of the Bartók edition is that two of the fugues in both book III and book IV are written out in full score, to accustom the pupil to score-reading. For some pieces he deliberately refrained from providing performance indications, to give pianists an opportunity to exercise their creativity.The current edition is not a reprint: errors we know of have been corrected, and the layout of the score has been re-arranged keeping in mind the need to turn pages. This edition which includes Bartók's detailed comments is complemented by facsimiles of Bach's manuscript and an afterword by László Somfai.

Anne Fuzeau Classique propose to discover our facsimiles' music in CD. Regis Allard, historical organ of Saint Michel de Bolbec (Calvados). Mass in the 8th tone for organ - Gaspard Corrette. Processional of the Royal Abbey of Chelles - Guillaume Gabriel Nivers. Romano-Monasticum Gradual - Guillaume Gabriel Nivers. Divine Office for use by the Ursuline Ladies of Dijon - Charles Derey. Improvised verses on the organ, Regis Alard. Alternating with Nivers's 'musical plainchant', Corrette's Mass sounds like a homage of the organ to itself, as it gracefully takes on the role of preacher of the Divine Cult. Regis Allard was trained by Andre Isoir and Michel Chapuis (for several years he had private lessons with the latter) as well as at the Schola Cantorum in Paris, where he graduated. He devotes himself exclusively to the interpretation of early music and participates in numerous events centred on historic instruments in France, Spain, Holland and northern Germany. He was a prize winner in the International Competition of French Music in Toulouse. His first disk, with pieces by Heinrich Scheidemann on the Arp Schnitger organ in the Stade church in northern Germany, received a Choc from Le Monde de la Musique. His latest recording, J. S. Bach's Art of the Fugue under the Hortus label performed on the new instrument of the church Saint Louis en l'isle in Paris, received critical praise. Ad Limina This group of women cantors, all trained in the Conservatory, themselves music teachers, choir directors, soloists, come from either side of the French-Swiss border, whence the name Ad Limina, which means 'at the border'. This ensemble pursues a novel exploration of the paths of religious music, from the baroque period to our day, with emphasis on Gregorian plainchant and European music from the 19th century to contemporary creation.

But their true significance consists in the new scholarly discoveries made by the editors. Similarly to the other NLE volumes, both the cloth-bound (Z. 14504a) version and the one bound in hard-paper (Z. 14504) contain in three languages the series preface, the preface to this volume, and the captions below the facsimiles, but the critical notes in English are to be found only in the linen-bound edition.

Volume 9 in the series of Supplements is mainly devoted to hitherto unpublished or inaccessible works. Apart from the piano score of the Berlioz symphony it contains smaller-scale late masterpieces (Excelsior!, Resignazione), the Album leaves written in Woronince in 1847, the large-scale but unfinished and not fully worked out Figaro and Don Juan fantasia, incorporating several Mozart themes, the piano piece No.1 in A flat major, two unpublished works incorrectly identified up till now by the special literature, the Maometto fantasia and the Siege de Corinthe (both transcriptions of Rossini works), and the volume also includes three other unpublished works (the Piano piece in Fmajor, the Cavatina from Robert le Diable by Meyerbeer, and Freudvoll und leidvoll, written down for Pauline von Iwanowska. The Prefaces preceding the scores, which give very accurate, detailed information about the genesis of the works, make interesting reading in themselves, but their true significance consists in the new scholarly discoveries made by the editors. Similarly to the other NLE volumes, both the cloth-bound (Z. 14504a) version and the one bound in hard-paper (Z. 14504) contain in three languages the series preface, the preface to this volume, and the captions below the facsimiles, but the critical notes in English are to be found only in the linen-bound edition.

With the publication of Volume 11 in November 1999, Werner Breigs fundamentally new scholarly concept of Richard Wagners complete letters begins to make itself felt more strongly. The meticulously annotated volumes are illustrated with facsimiles and little known photos. Further enhancing the value of this edition are a number of letters, which were hitherto practically unavailable and are published here for the first time. The commentaries are based on many previously unpublished documents.
Concerning Volume 10 (published one year later than Volume 11) we have obtained the following fax by the English Wagner expert Stewart Spencer, who wittily praises Werner Breig's fundamental new concept:
There is a general problem of reviewing such magnificent volumes. They are the yardstick by which all other writings on Wagner will be judged. It is like sending someone to inspect the standard metre rule in Paris and asking them to review it. All one can say is that it exists and that it is in a class of its own. I'd like to congratulate you on its publication and thank you most warmly for picking up this edition. (Stewart Spencer, October 11, 2000)

Schumann's Piano Concerto is known all over the world, yet despite its popularity it remains in a certain sense an undiscovered work. The aim with this edition is not only to provide a critical score of the work, but at the same time to indicate what questions of detail should form the focus of future research. The critical analysis offered here thus offers discussion of the relationship between the one-movement Fantasia version and the three-movement concerto version, the problem of the transition from the second to the third movement and a series of questions relating to the version completed in 1853. A booklet of facsimiles completes the volume.
