| Barenreiter News – July 2022 |
Dear musicians
This summer month we are pleased to present two very special new publications.
Editor Christoph Rinne-Schroeder has carefully evaluated the first print of Edvard Grieg's Suite "From Holberg's Time" and has compiled a new critical Urtext edition of this work.
In a video, Douglas Bostock (Principal Conductor of the Southwest German Chamber Orchestra) takes you through the new edition with musical examples. Let yourself be inspired.
With the new edition of Beethoven's last string quartet in F major op. 135, all of Ludwig van Beethoven's string quartets are now available in Bärenreiter critical Urtext editions.
Further information on these editions and music samples can be found on our website. All editions can be ordered directly from our webstore.
We look forward to receiving your orders.
With kind regards
Your international sales and marketing team

| Grieg, Edvard | | From Holbergs Time for String Orchestra op. 40 | BARENREITER URTEXT
Editor: Rinne-Schroeder, Christoph | | BA08830 | EUR 24.95 | Full score | 9790006567621 | To celebrate the 200th birthday of the playwright Ludvig Holberg, a statue was erected in his honour in 1884. Edvard Grieg, who, like Holberg, was born in Bergen, was commissioned to write an open-air cantata for the ceremony. But he also refers to Holberg in his instrumental music. The result was a "powdered wig piece" (as Grieg wrote to his publisher) that hearkens back to Holberg's era – a historicising suite of baroque dances for piano, ranging from an exhilarating prelude and several dance numbers to a Bachian "air" and an impetuous "rigaudon".
Later Grieg arranged his "Suite in the Olden Style" for string orchestra. This version became one of his most popular compositions.
For our new scholarly-critical edition Christoph Rinne-Schroeder has meticulously examined the original print and compared it with previously neglected performance material annotated by Grieg himself. | | BA08830-74 | Violin 1 | EUR 4.50 | Minimum order quantity: 4 copies |

| Beethoven's String Quartets |
|
| | Beethoven's final string quartet with many new readings
Introduction by Misha Donat (Eng/Ger), foreword by editor Jonathan Del Mar (Eng/Ger) and a scrupulous, separately published Critical Commentary (Eng) |
|
| Beethoven, Ludwig van | | String Quartet in F major op. 135 | BARENREITER URTEXT
Editor: Del Mar, Jonathan | | BA09035 | EUR 25.95 | Parts in a slipcover | 9790006569908 | Beethoven completed his String Quartet op. 135 at Wasserdorf Castle in Gneixenhof, where he sought to recuperate with his nephew Karl after the latter's failed suicide attempt in summer 1826. It stands out among his late quartets owing to the often cheerful, almost pastoral character of its four movements. Since Beethoven's death it has often been interpreted as an attempt to take wise and positive stock of the mishaps that had befallen him in the preceding years regarding his life situation, family and health. This interpretation is strongly suggested by the final movement, "Der schwer gefasste Entschluss" (The Difficult Decision), with its motto "Must it be? It must be! It must be!"
The editing of this quartet proved especially complex, for the authentic sources were reworked at various stages by the composer. By judiciously assessing them, editor Jonathan Del Mar has managed to clarify many anomalies found in previous editions. | | | | |

|
| Schubert, Franz | | Piano Sonatas I | BARENREITER URTEXT
Editor: Litschauer, Walburga | | BA09642 | EUR 39.95 | 9790006575350 | Schubert was visibly adventurous in his early piano sonatas, as is apparent in their wide-ranging key schemes, diverging versions of many movements or entire sonatas, and numerous works left incomplete.
This revised Urtext edition contains the sonatas he composed between 1815 and 1817.
An updated preface and valuable notes on central questions of performance practice (e.g. articulation, pedalling and embellishments), with a special emphasis on his idiosyncratic treatment of accent-like diminuendo hairpins, form a useful introduction to the sonatas. Schubert's drafts and fragments can be accessed on the Barenreiter website.

Informative introduction, notes on performance (Fr/Eng/Ger) and Critical Commentary (Eng) |

| Faure, Gabriel | | Pavane for Piano op. 50 | BARENREITER URTEXT
Editor: Bartoli, Jean-Pierre | | BA11832 | EUR 8.50 | 9790006575381 | Faure's "Pavane" was composed for orchestra in 1887, followed by a version for chorus and orchestra in that same year. Three decades later Serge Diaghilev had it choreographed for his Ballets russes – a sign of its great popularity. "Pavane" exudes the spirit of Paris's fetes galantes at the turn of the century. A version for solo piano appeared in 1889; it was most likely prepared by Faure himself, who performed it several times and even recorded it for player piano.
Our Urtext edition is based on the musical text from "Gabriel Faure Oeuvres completes". The editor has drawn in particular on the original solo piano print while also consulting the autograph of the orchestral version and Faure's second recording of the piano version. Elegant engraving and practical page-turns invite players to study this popular piece. | | |

| | One of Rameau's main works for the stage, now available with all its versions
With an easy to work with piano reduction by Francois Saint-Yves |
|
| Rameau, Jean-Philippe | | Zoroastre RCT 62 B | Jean-Philippe Rameau. Opera Omnia (OOR) IV/26
Editor: Sadler, Graham | | BA08867-90 | EUR 56.00 | Vocal score (French) | 9790006564170 | Richer than ever – Rameau's "Zoroastre" in the version of 1756
Rameau's revised version of his opera "Zoroastre", which could be heard and seen between 20 January 1756 and 26 March 1757 at the Academie royale de musique, was favourably received. Also from today's point of view the work profits dramaturgically from many of the changes and seems altogether richer and more tightly woven than the original of 1749. The subject matter of the libretto, derived from Ancient Persian sources, is timeless: the struggle between good and bad. The good is embodied by the religious reformer Zoroastre, a representative of the supreme light being Orosmade. He is opposed by the ambitious magician Abramane who serves Ariman, the spirit of the dark.
The opera includes some of Rameau's most ecstatic and spiritual musical numbers, such as the episode of sun worship in Act 3 with the sublime "Hymne a la Lumiere", which, for unknown reasons, was not integrated in the revision of 1756. It is therefore included in Appendix 3 of this Barenreiter edition. Incidentally, with "Zoroastre" the prologue, which had been customary since the beginnings of French opera in the 1670s, was abandoned. Instead Rameau was the first to introduce an overture which set the scene for the entire drama and thereby anticipated Gluck's opera reform by many years. | | |

| Bunk, Gerard | | Legende for Organ and Brass Quartet op. 55a | BARENREITER URTEXT
Editors: Boecker, Jan / Schmidt, Christof | | BA11259 | EUR 27.95 | Score and parts | 9790006569717 | As a 20th century composer, Gerard Bunk developed a distinctive musical style comparable perhaps to that of Max Reger or Sigfrid Karg-Elert. In addition to Bunk's large-scale organ work "Legende" op. 29 and its symphonic version op. 29II, there is a further well-known "Legende" op. 55b written for organ and string orchestra (or string quartet) which was composed in 1945.
This edition offers the earlier version of this work, dating from 1914, in its original instrumentation for organ and brass quartet. In order to facilitate performance, the sketchily notated score is carefully supplemented by performance markings from the string version. | | |

| | The first complete catalogue of the works of Pavel Haas, one of the “Theresienstadt composers”
Written in English
Incorporates the latest findings of scholarly research |
|
| Pavel Haas | | Pivoda, Ondrej / Spurny, Lubomir | | H08054 | EUR 33.50 | 9788086385426 | Although the life of Pavel Haas (1899–1944) found a violent end in the horrors of Auschwitz, his music survived and is increasingly attracting the interest of today’s musicians and scholars. Now, for the first time, this talented pupil of Leos Janacek is being introduced in a lavish English-language publication devoted to his complete output. The authors, Lubomir Spurny (a professor at Masaryk University in Brno) and Ondrej Pivoda (the curator of the music department at the Moravian State Museum in Brno, where Haas’s estate is preserved), have long studied Haas’s artistic legacy. Ondrej Pivoda has already edited the Urtext edition of Haas’s String Quartet No. 2 (“From the Monkey Mountains”) for Barenreiter.
In Pavel Haas: A Catalogue of the Music and Writings, the authors draw on the most recent scholarly research. The catalogue of works covers finished compositions, film scores, incomplete and lost works as well as the composer's literary estate. In addition to the standard description of each and every work, the entries also include bibliographical references and lists of musical editions and recordings. The book contains a foreword by the editors, an index and illustrations. | | |

| | First scholarly-critical edition of Saint-Saens's Piano Concerto No. 3
Taking into consideration numerous new sources
Two key works in the genre of the French 19th century piano concerto with a reliable musical text, extensive introductory texts (Fr/Eng/Ger), and Critical Commentary (Ger) |
|
| Saint-Saens, Camille | | Concerto No. 3 in E major op. 29 / Concerto No. 4 in C minor op. 44 / Cadenzas for the Concertos by Ludwig van Beethoven for Piano and Orchestra | Camille Saint-Saens. Oeuvres instrumentales completes II/2
Editors: Oehl, Klaus / Rumenapp, Peter | | BA10314-01 | EUR 550.00 | 9790006563425 | | Reduced subscription price available | Camille Saint-Saens left behind five true piano concertos, of which the second and fifth are most frequently performed. This scholarly-critical new edition published in the series "Camille Saint-Saens Oeuvres instrumentales completes" now focuses on piano concertos Nos. 3 and 4. Piano Concerto No. 3 in E-flat major op. 29 caused quite a commotion when it was premiered in Leipzig – mainly because of its harmonic audacity "which did not have just a slight aftertaste of futuristic music" ("Allgemeine Musikalische Zeitung" of 15 December 1869). Some years later in Paris the work was refered to as "The Last Judgement" which presumably signified "the death hour of virtuosity". In the introduction to this edition Peter Rumenapp spreads out the whole spectrum of the fascinating as well as fierce controversy reflected in the press.
The Piano Concerto No. 4 in C minor op. 44 on the other hand represents a work that is unique in the concerto literature of the 19th century because of its symphonic form and structural unity. It is related not only to the third, so-called "Organ Symphony" but at the same time is based on a symphonic fragment of 1854 as Klaus Oehl was able to verify.
This volume also includes the cadencas which Saint-Saens composed for Ludwig van Beethoven's piano concertos, amongst them two previously unpublished ones. | | |
