Instructive Edition, Edited and Supplied with Fingerings by Frederic Lamond EB 4341 Volume 1 EB 4342 Volume 2

Frederic Lamond (1868–1948) belonged to the world’s leading interpreters of Beethoven’s music. In his edition of the sonatas, he did not allow any intervention in the music text per se. His indications give instead interpretive approaches, additionally inspiring today’s musicians in the realization of the musical composition. When Lamond first published his edition of Beethoven’s 32 piano sonatas with Breitkopf & Härtel in 1923, he became the epitome of Beethoven interpretation.

The present “Instructive Edition” of Beethoven’s 32 Piano Sonatas is part of the “Breitkopf Originals” series on the occasion of Beethoven’s 250th Birthday in 2020. Apart from the established Urtext editions, this reissue opens up a fascinating view on the interpretation and performance practice of one of the most important Beethoven interpreters in the 19th and 20th century.

“Tremate, empi, tremate” op. 116

The history of the origins and sources of Beethoven’s Choral Fantasia poses considerable difficulties to today’s researchers.

A definitive “final version” is not extant. Instead, there are contemporary printed editions which diverge from each other in many details.

Editor Clive Brown thus based his text-critical work on his comprehensive knowledge of the performance and notation practice of Beethoven’s time.

The Ruins of Athens op. 113 Incidental Music to August von Kotzebue’s Festival Play for Soloists, Choir and Orchestra

What with all the traditional editions available on the market, can we still expect new readings? This is what editor Clive Brown asked himself as he meticulously examined the often conflicting sources. The result: a wealth of new readings in the score as well as an extensively commented piano reduction. The historically informed setting of the solo part deserves special attention. The entries of fingerings and bow strokes go back to the premiere interpreter Franz Clement and the Viennese performance tradition of Beethoven’s time. The edition is thus a unique treasure trove for today’s performers, providing many inspiring ideas for one’s own interpretation.

The Overture Leonore, wrongly named No. 2, is the first of a total of four overtures that Beethoven wrote for his only opera, which was unsuccessful in 1805 and has therefore been revised several times. He was still composing between rehearsals for the premiere of the original version in 1805 at the Theater an der Wien. The music text is based on Volume 11 of the “Supplements to the Complete Edition”.

Performance material available on hire “The whole matter concerning the opera is the most troublesome in the world. There is a very great difference between letting oneself be guided by reflection and giving oneself up to free inspiration. In short, I assure you, dear Treitschke, the opera is going to win me a martyr’s crown.” Beethoven had already revised the opera several times when he wrote these words to the then director and dramaturg at the Court Opera. Reworked partly at the urging of friends and partly of his own free will, the opera finally made its breakthrough in its final version.

The triumphal first performance of the third version of the work was held at Viennas Kärntnertortheater on 23 May 1814 with Beethoven conducting.

The Creatures of Prometheus op. 43

Ballet in Two Acts Performance material available on hire In the ballet Gli uomini di Prometeo, Beethoven interprets the Greek legend about the titan Prometheus. Prometheus resisted the will of the gods by standing up for the people he had created. He had formed two people from clay, woke them to life and was at the same time their teacher. When teaching them about the secrets of fire, he incurred Zeus’ wrath upon him. Prometheus’ support for the people was not to remain without consequences.

In the season after its premiere on 28 March 1801 in Vienna, the ballet was performed almost 30 times and was thus a great success for the time. Today, the music belongs to Beethoven’s less known works.

Performance material available on hire When the original Leonore was performed at the Theater an der Wien in 1805, adverse circumstances prevented the hoped-for success. Beethoven had to revise his only opera several times until it finally succeeded in 1814 as Fidelio. It then comprised only two acts instead of three; apart from that, the dramaturgical focus was different. In 1953, Willy Hess succeeded in uncovering the editorial potential of Beethoven’s bold opera debut by means of a thorough comparison of the versions.

Milestones of the Publishing-house and Music History What could be a more fitting time than our 300th publishing-house anniversary to open for you the bookcases and drawers of our archives? With the brand new series ”Breitkopf Originals” promptly starting our 2019 anniversary year, we are offering you an unprecedented view into our publishinghouses’ archives, a treasure trove for scholars, musicians, and music lovers alike, placed today under cultural asset protection.

In the coming years we shall be making available editions in premium-quality reprints that are historically and musico-historically invaluable as witnesses to their times. The selection will initially include the core repertoire of (string) chamber music, to be expanded step by step. We are attaching great importance to continuing the historic Breitkopf ”look.” Our popular ”Angel Oval” in modern columnar bar form gives our Urtext editions its distinctive face today. In its historically baroque original form, however, it has almost completely disappeared from the publishing program, to experience now its renaissance in this new series.

So, we invite you to join us in looking forward to the great chamber music repertoire of the 18th and 19th centuries, together with exciting discoveries that often still astonish even us.

Beethoven – MESSE C-DUR

Christus am Ölberge (Christ on the Mountain of Olives) is Beethoven’s only oratorio. The premiere took place on 5 April 1803 as part of an academy concert. Breitkopf & Härtel published the original edition of the score in 1811, however, against Beethoven’s will, with strong textual interventions in the opera-like libretto by Franz Xaver Huber.

The new Urtext edition by Anja Mühlenweg represents a kind of historical reparation; it not only precisely reproduces the original text, but also presents the work as a whole in the form intended by Beethoven.

In his op. 112, Beethoven brings Goethe’s poems Meeresstille (Calm Sea) and Glückliche Fahrt (Prosperous Voyage) together. A few sketches reveal that Beethoven had already begun exploring the poems by the end of 1814.

He conducted the premiere at a charity concert in support of the Vienna Citizens’ Hospital Fund in 1815. Due to delays in printing, Goethe received a dedicatory copy of the score only in May 1822. Later, Beethoven inquired of him whether he thought that he had set the texts to music in an apt manner. He expressed his readiness for an “indoctrination that is to be seen as the truth,” as he loved the truth above all, saying: “To me, the following shall never apply: Veritas odium parit.”

As is often the case with Beethoven’s orchestral works, various, often contradictory sources arising from both the material used at the first performance and the first edition, calling for the knowledgeable assessment of a specialist. Editor Jeremiah W. McGrann takes Breitkopf’s original edition as the main source, despite its shortcomings due to time constraints, placing particular emphasis on the aspect of the organ’s figured bass.

As it has been transmitted in two authentic readings, both are printed in the score. The newly revised orchestral material contains a new organ part, realized by Siegfried Petrenz, and fulfills every requirement for a stylistically authentic performance.

Ludwig van Beethoven wrote his Missa solemnis, which he declared to be his most accomplished work in the last years of his life, between 1819 and 1822. The primary source for the present edition is the working copy of the score that Beethoven most likely commissioned immediately after completing the piece. It is the earliest copy of the work and the sole copy based on the now incomplete autograph. Since the work copy was repeatedly revised and corrected as further copies were made, it comes closest to a “definitive version” today.

TWO PERSPECTIVES – ONE GOAL: BEETHOVEN SYMPHONIES AT BREITKOPF & HÄRTEL

PB 14600 Score OB 14600 Orchestral parts

Edited by Armin Raab

1993 marked the start of the first text-critical edition of the Beethoven symphonies edited by two acknowledged specialists: Peter Hauschild, who had previously monitored Kurt Masur’s complete recording with the Gewandhaus Orchestra from a musicological point of view and Clive Brown, author of the standard work “Classical & Romantic Performance Practice” and as violinist one of the world’s authorities on historical performance practices. The systematic editing of the complex, sometimes contradictory sources was still far from complete when Breitkopf & Härtel began collaborating in 2003 with the Henle Verlag, publisher of the Beethoven complete edition.

With this came the unique opportunity of assuming not only Henle’s hitherto existing Beethoven orchestral material (including all seven solo concertos, several concert overtures, and the Missa solemnis), but also of participating in future, highly specialized Beethoven research projects. In the case of the symphonies, Choral Fantasy, and the violin concerto, however, this involved a duplication as unusual as it is in need of explanation.

What could be regarded in the case of less important works by other composers as an expendable luxury, proved here to be a magnificent enrichment. It is not without reason that both performers and editors regard Beethoven as the ultimate challenge.

The double edition impressively shows how to manage “the difficult balancing act between the requirements of practical usefulness and philological meticulousness” (Peter Gülke).

Each approach offers different solutions from varying perspectives, especially in terms of presenting source facts. Both, however, combine the absolute penetration of the material, the seriousness and consistency of opening up Beethoven’s musical practice intentions.

“I ask that the score be written as it stands so far as concerns the words,â€? is Beethoven’s clear statement to a copyist. His separation rule after stretched-out vowels is observed in the edition for the first time (here: “Ste - rnen,â€? “Mu - Ă&#x;â€?). Also visible: the reproduction of the original dashes before or parallel to rests (after “BrĂźderâ€?) and spelling (“Sternen Zeltâ€?), as well as Beethoven’s capitalization of the beginnings of the verses in Schiller’s poem (“MuĂ&#x;â€?).

The autograph of the incidental music to Egmont is located at the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin Preußischer Kulturbesitz. It is, however, lacking precisely the Overture, of which only three scribal copies corrected by Beethoven have survived as manuscript sources.

Particularly important is the manuscript preserved in the collections of the BeethovenHaus in Bonn, since this is the one into which Beethoven entered all the corrections made with respect to the autograph, no doubt during the rehearsals for the first performances.

The source situation of the ballet music to The Creatures of Prometheus is typical of Beethoven’s work: No autograph, but various sources bearing corrections by the composer.

For preparing the Urtext edition for practical performance of op. 43, Editor Klaus Kropfinger primarily used a copy of the score examined by the composer himself and located at the Austrian National Library in Vienna. It was complemented by proofs of the piano version corrected by the composer along with the original edition of the orchestral parts.

Taking these sources into account, the present edition differs from the first Beethoven Complete Edition.
