After Peter Gulke's revised edition of the Unfinished, here is the new edition (1992) of the Fifth by Peter Hauschild. Since the Fifth Symphony was first published by Breitkopf & Hartel in 1885, a text-critical edition based on the sources of this work was long overdue. Though the alterations in the earlier text were made by none other than Johannes Brahms, they are treated here as footnotes, for our new edition rigorously follows the primary sources.Die neue Partiturausgabe ist der Qualitat des Werkes ebenburtig. Sie eroffnet herrliche Einblicke in die grossartige musikalische Welt dieser Kompositon, fur deren Studium sie zum unentbehrlichen Hilfsmittel wird. (Das Liebhaberorchester)

,,Der schwierige Spagat zwischen den Erfordernissen praktischer Brauchbarkeit und philologischer Akribie ist auf einem Niveau gegeluckt, welches die Messlatte fur vergleichbare Bemuhungen beangstigend hoch legt. (Chor und Konzert),,Die Studienpartitur bietet neben einem detailliert scharfen und angenehmen uberschaubaren Notentext ein nuchtern-aufschlussreiche s Vorwort Hauschilds, in dem die nicht gerade geradlinige Entstehungsgeschichte der letzten Sinfonie Beethovens erlautert wird. (Tobias Gebauer, Das Orchester)

The edition does justice to the principle of source criticism for performance practice. In addition to an evaluation of the sources and metronome markings, Hauschild questions the dynamic markings, notated negligently by Beethoven and his copyists..

The Atlas Symphony for symphonic wind band is an impressive and subtle work, thematically complex, with a rich orchestration, but also great beauty. The composer was keen to draw a parallel between an atlas, where all the geographical maps of the world are collected in one book, and his score, which brings together all the facets of his musical style. Despite being written without any breaks, the symphony is structured around three main ideas. It is based upon a series of notes that will become the very essence of the piece, its building blocks. Like the works of composers of serial music, the series appears in different forms - melodic and harmonic, thematic or simply asan accompaniment. With its wealth of rhythms and contrapuntal power, this piece is a compelling concerto for orchestra. The Orchestre de la Police Nationale was the first to be attracted to this work and premiered it with excellence under the baton of composer Thierry Deleruyelle.

Die Atlas Symphony für symphonisches Blasorchester ist ein eindrucksvolles, feinsinniges Werk, mit einer komplexen Thematik und einer reichhaltigen Orchestrierung, aber dennoch anmutig. Der Komponist beabsichtigte, eine Parallele zwischen einem Atlas, der geografische Karten der ganzen Welt enthält, und seiner Partitur zu ziehen, die alle Facetten seines persönlichen Musikstils enthält. Obwohl sie ohne Unterbrechung geschrieben ist, ist diese Symphonie doch auf drei Hauptachsen aufgebaut. Sie basiert auf einer Reihe von Noten, welche die Quintessenz, das Material des gesamten Stückes bilden. Wie bei den Komponisten serieller Musik tritt diese Reihe in verschiedenenGestalten auf - melodisch oder harmonisch, thematisch oder einfach als Begleitung. Mit seinem Reichtum an Rhythmen und der kontrapunktischen Brillanz ist die Atlas Symphony ein wahrhaftes Konzert für Orchester. Das Orchestre de la Police Nationale (Frankreich) war das erste Orchester, das sich von diesem Werk verführen ließ und spielte eine brillante Uraufführung unter der Leitung des Komponisten Thierry Deleruyelle.

La Symphonie Atlas pour grand orchestre d’harmonie est une œuvre imposante et subtile, l’orchestration riche et la thématique complexe mais néanmoins gracieuse. Le compositeur a tenu faire un parallèle entre l’Atlas, ce livre où toutes les cartes géographiques du monde sont répertoriées et sa partition, qui possède toutes les caractéristiques de son style musical. Volontairement écrite d’un seul tenant, elle s’articule néanmoins en trois axes. Sa construction est basée sur une série de notes qui deviendront l’essence même de la pièce, son matériau. Tel le travail des compositeurs de musique sérielle, « la série » apparaitra sous différentes formes, mélodiqueet harmonique, thématique ou simplement d’accompagnement. Sa richesse rythmique et son pouvoir contrapuntique fait de cette pièce un véritable concerto pour orchestre. C’est l’Orchestre de la Police Nationale qui a le premier été séduit par l’œuvre et qui en a fait la brillante création sous la direction du compositeur Thierry Deleruyelle.

Atlas Symphony è un brano grandioso, di enorme bellezza, pieno di sfumature, tematicamente complesso, con una ricca orchestrazione. La sinfonia è scritta senza interruzioni e basata su una serie di note che vengono proposte nella melodia, nell’armonia e nel tema. La ricchezza di ritmi e la brillantezza dei contrappunti, fanno di Atlas Symphony un brano da concerto perfetto.

Tchaikovsky's Hamburg Symphony in the Urtext

ISBN 9790004213698. 6.5 x 9 inches.

Like Hamlet Overture, originating at about the same time, Tchaikovsky's 5th symphony, composed in 1888, focuses on the human existential question: To be or not to be - triumph over fate or triumph of fate? The per aspera ad astra dramaturgy underlying the symphony culminates in triumphant certainty. If Tchaikovsky was initially euphoric, then severe self-doubts befell him after he conducted the premiere in St. Petersburg. These doubts demonstrably led him to make interpretative changes for the Hamburg performance in 1889, including a cut in the finale. Only with the extremely positive response to this performance did his doubts dispel. Nevertheless, Tchaikovsky himself never again conducted the 5th symphony. It was only posthumously established in the repertoire through Arthur Nikisch's commitment. The new edition's textual criticism takes into account besides the autograph and first edition also the first edition's orchestral parts, together with the piano arrangement produced from the autograph by Sergei Taneyev. In addition to thoroughly clarifying dynamics and articulation, the source comparison also corrected many errors and solved problematical passages, such as, for instance, the trombone entry in m. 372 of the finale. Considered, moreover, for the first time has been the composer's doubts about his work and its ambiguities, frequently successfully suppressed in the history of its performance and reception. Tchaikovsky's conductor's copy is unfortunately lost, hence his alterations made for the Hamburg performance are not precisely known. They have survived only indirectly through remarks that Willem Mengelberg left to posterity, for which he could draw on Tchaikovsky's conductor's score and oral references by the composer's brother Modest. So, anyone wishing to deal seriously with the work's certainties will not be able to do so in the future without having also to deal with its uncertainties.

The piano versions of the Children's Symphony have been part of Breitkopf's orchestral materials for over a hundred years now. They are not merely piano parts, however, but full-blooded reductions for piano twohands or four-hands.

The work, originally titled Berchtolsgader-Musik, goes back to the Cassatio ex G by Leopold Mozart, whose movements 3, 4 and 7 are identical to the Kinder-Symphonie [Children's Symphony]. For a long time, the authorship of the work was uncertain. It was attributed to Joseph Haydn and his brother Michael, at times also to Edmund Angerer and Leopold Mozart's pupil Johann Rainprechter. The work probably first received the designation Kinder-Symphonie in 1813 through an edition by the music publisher Hofmeister.In the Children's Symphony, a cuckoo, a quail and other unusual instruments are used in addition to the usual orchestral scoring. These belong to the Berchtesgaden instruments: flutes, whistles and rattles carved from wood, manufactured in the Berchtesgaden region and widely used as children's toys throughout the country. Today, these instruments can also be replaced by flutes, whistles as well as ratchets, rattles or bell trees.

List en to Scandinavia er et samarbejdsprojekt mellem tre nordiske konservatorielærere , Brita Bremberg (Stockholm), Gro Shetelig Kruse (Oslo) og Mette Stig Nielsen (Odense), som underviser i hørelære,aud itiv analyse og musikpædagogik.

Den nordiske musik fører i al almindelighed et usynligt og uhørligt liv i musikundervisningen - såvel i lærebøgerne som i klasseværelserne.En dvidere mangler der pædagogiske værktøjer og metoder til undervisning i partiturmusik fra det 20. århundrede, næsten al klassisk musikpædagogik er bygget op omkring vesteuropæiskmusikf ra 1700- og 1800-tallet.

I denne bog har vi derfor udarbejdet et undervisningsmateriale, der kan bruges på gymnasier, seminarier, MGK- kurser, musikkonservatorier, universiteter og andre steder, hvor derundervises i musik, musikteori, musikhistorie og musikpædagogik. Vi håber, at den nyere og nye nordiske musik vil blive brugt til intensiv lytning, hørelære, formlære, musikanalyse bl.a. gennem detforeliggende materiale, og at musiklærere og studerende vil kunne blive inspireret af vores spørgsmål i opgaverne og vores forskellige ideer til grafisk partitur, fri tegning og improvisation..

Detmusikalske materiale er et rigt udvalg af musik fra Danmark, Norge, Sverige, Finland, Færøerne og Island, og repræsenterer musik fra årene 1900-1919, 1920-1939, 1940-1959, 1960-1979 og 1980-2003.

Det ligger udenfor mulighederne i denne bog at omtale alle de betydningsfulde komponister som de nordiske lande har fostret. Musikeksemplerne er udvalgt, så de tilsammen giver et bredt indtryk af den nordiske musik efterår 1900 og ud fra deres kunstneriske og pædagogiske potentiale.

BOGENS METODE
Bogen er baseret på den idé, at man ved at lytte mange gange med skiftende fokus på et musikstykke kanudvikle evnen til at.

Promising Discovery When a recording of this Symphony No. 17 by Friedrich Schneider appeared in 2002, it attracted some attention. Now, Breitkopf & Hartel presents the work that, like all Schneider's symphonies, had remained unpublished, for the first time in a modern edition. The composer does not use a pathetic-heroic tone as suggested by the key, but follows the urgent, roving, and cantabile character that the key has possessed, especially in early Romanticism since the Sturm und Drang. It is reminiscent of Franz Schubert who ventured a very similar reinterpretation of the classical symphony. With this work Schneider succeeds in designing a remarkably coherent and carefully developed composition. A gain for the repertoire, since the symphony, composed in 1822 and premiered that year in the Leipzig Gewandhaus, shows so much merit.

A Programmatic Declaration of BeliefFelix Mendelssohn Bartholdy composed his Reformation Symphony for the celebrations marking the 300th anniversary of the Confessio Augustana, the Protestant declaration of faith. Owing to various and only partially explained reasons, there was no performance in 1830, the year in question; it was only two years later that the composer conducted the premiere of his work, now heavily revised, in Berlin. There was only one more performance in Mendelssohn's lifetime, this one conducted by Julius Rietz in Dusseldorf; the composer had since distanced himself from his opus.Conceived for the concert hall, the symphony formulates its theological references through the integration of various motives. This occurs in the finale, for example, in which Mendelssohn quotes the Luther chorale Ein feste Burg in the flute, from where it builds up to a triumphant principal theme. The strong extra-musical aspect must have been one of the reasons for the composer's later avoidance of this score, especially since Mendelssohn was becoming increasingly skeptical about explicitly programmatic music in the instrumental domain. Next to the Dusseldorf performance material of 1837, two scribal copies have been examined for the first time; they transmit the main stages of the version of 1830.

With the Symphony K. 112, Cliff Eisen, Professor at the renowned Kings College and one of the leading Mozart specialists of the younger generation, continues the series of new editions of Mozarts orchestral works which began with the Prague Symphony. Here too, the editorial principles follow the guidelines of Urtext. In his work, he takes particular care in bringing his expert knowledge of contemporary performance practice into play when evaluating authentic part material. Eisen comes to surprising conclusions in a number of cases. At the very least, the Symphony K. 112 will sound different in these passages with the new material.

Of all his symphonies, Mahler gave the Fourth, his favorite and problem child, his most particular attention. The Heavenly Life, a humoresque composed in 1892 for soprano and piano, which he already wanted to use in the final movement of the Third Symphony under the title What the Child Tells Me, ultimately became the nucleus and final movement of the Fourth. Even after publication in 1901, Mahler kept repeatedly refining the orchestration. His maxim not without my retouching led to a whole series of revised reprints. It is probably no coincidence that Mahler performed especially the Fourth Symphony in his last two New York concerts in February 1911, using this opportunity to review once again the score and parts. This performance material with his retouching served as the main source for the new edition. Furthermore, included for the first time were corrections and annotations in conjunction with performances of the Fourth, which Mahler entered into the scores of conductors such as Mengelberg and Wickenhauser.

The Symphony No. 1 (originally in five movements) was first performed in Budapest in 1889, but the premiere as well as two further performances in Hamburg and Weimar turned out to be a fiasco. After 1894 Mahler removed the Blumine-movement. Until the last performance under his direction in New York in 1909, Mahler made revisions again and again. This edition strives to present a, for the performance practice, reliable music text of the final extant version that in 1910 Mahler corrected and deemed accurate for the new print. The Editorial Report gives detailed information on the provenance and evaluation of the sources as well as authentic annotations on performance practice. Individual comments document editorial interventions and deviations from current editions.The cloth-bound volume PB 5661 contains next to the final version of the four-movement Symphony, the Blumine movement.Le format permet une lisibilite parfaite; le materiel a ete realise en tenant compte des conseils des bibliothecaires de grands orchestres. Particulierement precieux pour les non-germanistes, on trouve en fin de volume un glossaire traduisant les indications de Mahler de l'allemand vers l'anglais (ou l'italien).
