Par BRUCH MAX. Thanks to the premiere performance by Joseph Joachim and to the release of the printed edition in 1868, Max Bruch's Violin Concerto #1 zipped onto the road to success and has never left it since. Yet from the preface of the 'BreitkopfUrtext' edition,one can infer how things looked like behind the dazzling facade. After the world premiere, the composer struggled for the definitive fo…
Par VANHAL JOHANN BAPTIST. The unbroken popularity of Vanhal's sole double bass concerto in competitions and for practice and concert purposes is reason enough for us to publish the work in Breitkopf Urtext. The new edition profits from Tobias Glöckler's experience of many years. As with the other great double-bass concertos of the classical Viennese repertoire (Dittersdorf, Hoffmeister), Glöckler…
Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's horn concertos: the Mozart expert Henrik Wiese edits the central work genre of Viennese classicism according to the current status of international Mozart research. Mozart wrote the Horn Concerto K. 417 - like the other works of this genre as well - for his horn-playing friend Joseph Leutgeb. The jokes which the composer made at Leutgeb's expe…
Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. Le 'Köchel' indique toujours l'autographe d'air de Mozart tant apprécié, mais a étiqueté 'manquantes' depuis 1964. La 'Neue Mozart Ausgabe-' n'était donc plus en mesure de prendre en considération. Maintenant, cependant, le manuscrit a réapparu et a été utilisé comme une source authentique pour cette nouvelle édition (1997).

Here is a publication that springs from the spirit of Baroque transcription practice at its best. In our case it also goes hand in hand with a reconstruction made with scholarly precision. As to the choice of the key editor Klaus Hofmann decided against C minor which the previous generation had preferred and turned instead to D minor that Max Schneider had chosen back in 1921. The fruit of Sie…
Par MOUSSORGSKY MODEST / RAVEL MAURICE (Arr.) . Ravel’s brilliant compositional interpretation of the Pictures at an Exhibition is, to this day, the most famous and independent orchestration of Mussorgsky’s masterpiece. When the French composer turned his attention to his Russian colleague’s piano cycle in 1922, he was at the height of his mastery and Paris was enraptured by Russian music. Notated…
Par . Until now, anyone looking for music on the theme of Pentecost and the Holy Spirit for church services and concerts usually had to do so in larger collections that cover the entire church year or parts of it. With Music for the Spirit, there is now a choirbook specifically for the feast of Pentecost for the first time, closing a gap for an important feast of the Catholic, Protestant, and Angl…

Par SCHUMANN ROBERT. In 1925, Breitkopf & Härtel approached the young pianist Wilhelm Kempff to prepare Clara Schumann’s “Instructive Edition” of her husband’s works for the new engraving. “[…] The comparison with the autograph and the Urtext edition [First Schumann Complete Edition], the results of the Schumann research, the modern principles of notation – all of this would have to be taken into …
