Par MAHLER GUSTAV. Over the years, the need for a new edition of Mahler's Symphony No. 2 became apparent for several reasons. First, many new sources for this work have become accessible since 1970, when Erwin Ratz completed the first critical edition of this symphony, the most significant being Mahler's personal reference score in which he recorded changes to be made (his last entries were made i…

Par BARTOK BELA. Bartók?s Second String Quartet was composed ? with several long interruptions ? between 1915 and 1918, after he had spent several years almost solely devoted to collecting folk music.

The ?Sonatas of III Parts by Henry Purcell? were first published in 1683. A facsimile of the first edition was published in 1975. This arrangement follows the facsimile faithfully, simply writing out the first violin and cello parts of the trio sonata, with the seco…

Par MAHLER GUSTAV. The Song of the Earth , composed in the summer of 1908, is Mahler’s best-known and most personal work. Reflecting drastic changes in his life, its immense emotional density is very moving. Until the very end, Mahler continued to refine the extremely differentiated instrumentation, as is evident in numerous retouchings in the autograph score and engraver’s model. It is therefore …

First Edition. Par KORNGOLD ERICH WOLFGANG. Erich Wolfgang Korngold was one of the greatest child prodigies in the history of music. His early songs, now published for the first time, reveal the young composer's extraordinary talent. Based on the musical language of the late Romantic period, he created a unique world of sounds for Eichendorff's poems: full of melodic expanse, refined harmony and s…
