Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. 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 (No. 9) 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 theBeethoven 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.

Music from the last movement of the Ninth Symphony. Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. The European Hymn is the hymn not only of the European Union but of Europe in a broader sense. The melody has been taken from the Ninth Symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven from 1823. In the last movement of this symphony Beethoven set music to the 'Ode to Joy' by Friedrich von Schiller from 1785. This poem sprang from Schiller's idealistic vision of men who become brothers – a vision Beethoven shared with him. In 1972 the Council of Europe adopted Beethoven's 'Ode to Joy' as its anthem. The well-known conductor Herbert von Karajan was commissioned to arrange three instrumental versions – for solo piano, wind orchestra and symphony orchestra. Without words, in the universal language of music, the anthem is an expression of the idealistic values of freedom, peace and solidarity which Europe stands for. In 1985 the heads of state and government adopted the hymn as the EU's official anthem. It does not replace the national anthems of the member states, but rather celebrates common values as well as unity in diversity. The score of this offical anthem is exclusively available from the Schott publishing house./ Répertoire / Orchestre

Op. 84. Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. Beethoven?s incidental music op. 84 was written in 1809 for a performance of Goethe?s drama ?Egmont? at the Burgtheater in Vienna. Numerous composers of the day tried their hand at writing music for the dramatic material of Goethe?s tragedy, several in collaboration with the author himself. The overture reflects the themes of the play through its expressive music, and over the last two hundred years it has become one of the most popular works by Beethoven conceived for the stage. For this new edition, Beethoven specialist Jonathan Del Mar draws on various manuscript sources including a handwritten set of parts which has never been taken into account before. Thus, numerous discrepancies such as missing notes in the flute part or unclear bowing could be clarified for the first time. / Date parution : 2022-04-05/ Répertoire / Orchestre

Ludwig van Beethoven
Symphonie n° 6 en Fa majeur (Pastorale) op. 68
Jens Dufner (Editeur)
Beethoven acheva sa Sixième Symphonie, qu?il intitula «Pastorale», probablement au début de l?été 1808. Elle fut donnée en première audition au même concert que la Cinquième, à Vienne, en décembre de la même année. Les deux symphonies sont communément considérées comme des oeuvres contrastantes complémentaires. Avec un texte musical repris des oeuvres complètes de Beethoven, qui reflète l?état actuel des recherches sur Beethoven, et une nouvelle préface, voici une édition accessible à tous grâce au format de poche pratique et avantageux. / Partitions classique / Ensemble et orchestre / Conducteur / HENLE VERLAG

Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. Prise en tenaille entre les célèbres Symphonies n° 7 et n° 9, la relativement courte 8e Symphonie a, aujourd’hui encore, un statut particulier. Déjà après sa création en février 1814, un critique signala qu’elle n’avait déclenché «keine Furore», aucune fureur. Du premier coup d’œil, elle retourne à des formes et à des genres déjà dépassés, allant même jusqu’à réintroduire, après un Allegretto scherzoso, à nouveau un Menuet (et non un mouvement lent) en troisième place. Mais Beethoven se mesure intensément à l’histoire de la musique, brise les comportements et les modèles traditionnels et parvient à de nouvelles solutions surprenantes, qui font de la Huitième un jalon essentiel dans l’histoire de la symphonie. Basée sur le texte musical de l’édition complète des œuvres de Beethoven et accompagnée d’une nouvelle préface, cette toute récente édition fait état du stade actuel de la recherche beethovénienne. Avec cette édition d’étude, ce texte est maintenant accessible à tous à peu de frais et dans un format maniable. / Date parution : 2020-07-04/ Répertoire / Orchestre Symphonique

Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. Après que les premières esquisses en eurent été jetées sur le papier dès 1815, il fallut attendre jusqu’en 1824 pour parvenir à la conclusion de la dernière symphonie achevée de Beethoven. Avec son Finale étendu, dans lequel interviennent solistes et chœur avec leur appel à la fraternité, pour former un pont avec la cantate symphonique, elle présente une rupture dont l’effet se fit fortement sentir dans l’histoire de la symphonie tout au long du XIXe siècle. Le thème principal de l’Ode «An die Freude» («À la joie») de Friedrich Schiller est devenu l’une des mélodies les plus populaires de toute la musique classique et constitue aujourd’hui l’Hymne européen.

Op. 62. Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. Beethoven?s ?Coriolan? overture was composed in 1807. Whether the work was originally intended as a concert overture or for the stage has not been clarified to this day. The work was first performed at the Palais Lobkowitz and it was the Lobkowitz family who played a decisive role in the transmission of the sources. For this new edition, Beethoven specialist Jonathan Del Mar incorporates various manuscript sources, including a handwritten set of parts that has never been considered before.

Beethoven, Ludwig vanLeonore Overture for Orchestra no. 3- The most popular of the ?Leonore? overtures- Based on the G. Henle Complete Edition of the ?Works of Ludwig van Beethoven?- Orchestral parts in an enlarged format (25.5 cm x 32.5 cm)Of the four overtures that Beethoven composed for his only opera, the ?Leonore Overture? No. 3 is the most popular. The first reviewer found fault with it for its ?incessant dissonances and overblown fluttering of the violins? (Wiener Theater-Zeitung, 1806), but it soon became famous as ?one of the most imposing, difficult, yet richest and strangest of compositions? (Allgemeine Musikalische Zeitung, 1810). This version of the ?Leonore Overture? quickly established itself independently of the stage in the concert hall and has found a lasting place in the symphonic repertoire.The editor has devoted herself to the complex genesis of the various ?Leonore Overture? versions, in particular the question whether the trumpet call in measures 272?277 and 294?299 should be played by one or two instruments. The edition is based on the Complete Edition of the ?Works of Ludwig van Beethoven? issued by the G. Henle publishing company. / Grand format / Barenreiter

Symphony No. 9 in D minor Op. 125 Facsimile Score. With his ninth symphony, Beethoven ventured into new musical dimensions. In the final movement, soloists and choir join forces with the orchestra and Schiller?s ?Ode to Joy? becomes a global aspiration, a declaration: ?Alle Menschen werden Brüder ! / All mankind becomes brothers.? In his commentary the great Beethoven scholar Lewis Lockwood describes the plea which Beethoven wanted to deliver at that time with this work and how views of this have changed over the centuries. Jonathan Del Mar, a renowned editor of Beethoven?s works, comments on noteworthy passages in the autograph manuscript and allows the reader to share in the composer?s working process.,br>Already the large-format paper which Beethoven used for some passages makes the large forces clear. Cuts, sometimes reversed later, show how he wrestled with the final version of the musical text and refined it right down to the last detail. The history of the autograph manuscript reflects an episode in German history: after storage in various places because of the war, the major parts were returned to Berlin but were initially divided by the Berlin Wall and only reunited in 1990. Martina Rebmann who is the Director of the Music Department at the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin traces this story. In 1972 the main theme of the last movement was chosen by the Council of Europe as the European anthem and in 1985 it was adopted by the European Community as its official anthem. In 2001 the manuscript was listed in UNESCO?s Memory of the World Register. For the first time the facsimile presents all the parts of the manuscript including pages preserved in Bonn and Paris as well as the trombone and contrabassoon parts. The first edition (2010) was awarded with the German Music Edition Prize ?Best Edition? 2011.

For his only opera Leonore/Fidelio Beethoven wrote four overtures in total. Chronologically the so-called Leonore Overture no. 3 is the second of the series and perhaps the most performed of all Beethoven's overtures. During his own lifetime it was heard not only in the theatre but also in concert thereby establishing with the Coriolan and Egmont overtures the new genre of the concert overture. Recognised around the middle of the nineteenth century as a masterpiece it went on to become the 'declared favourite of all orchestras ' as Beethoven biographer Anton Schindler testifies. It now appears as astudy score based on the musical text of the Beethoven Complete Edition with its own specially prepared foreword.
