Documenta Musicologica, II/39 (= Faksimile-Reihe Bachscher Werke und Schriftstücke, Neue Folge, 3]. Kassel, 2007. 23 x 30 cm, xxxv, 48 pp; 18 pp. Recently rediscovered manuscript in the Herzogin Anna Amalia Bibliothek, Kassel consisting of four fascicles notated in organ tabulature: I) Johann Adam Reinken, “An Wasserflüssen Babylon”; II) Dietrich Buxtehude, “Nun freut euch lieben Christen g’mein”; III) Johann Pachelbel, “An Wasserflüssen Babylon”; IV) Johann Pachelbel, “Kyrie Gott Vater in Ewigkeit” + Fuga. The Bach portion of this rare source—fascicles I & II—has been dated c.1700, making it the earliest testimony we have of the master’s autograph.

[Sonatas & partitas, violin, BWV 1001-1006] Sei solo a violino senza basso accompagnato, BWV 1001-1006. Faksimile nach der autographen Handschrift in der Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin – Preußischer Kulturbesitz. Mit einem Geleitwort von Julia Fischer herausgegeben und mit einer Einführung von Sven Hiemke.

Meisterwerke der Musik im Faksimile, 8. Laaber, 2006. 21 x 33 cm, 19, 48 pp. New full-color facsimile, in the original format, of the autograph score prepared in 1720. One of the most beautiful and meticulous of all of Bach's manuscripts, “Sei solo à violino senza basso accompagnato” are a delight for the scholar and perfomer alike. Bach clearly has taken performance from the autograph into consideration—by using comparatively large note heads, detailed articulation and phrasing marks, "custodes" that sit nearly throughout the manuscript at the end of each staff and anticipate the pitch at the beginning of the following staff, and by deligently planning the page layout with only few page turns, which are accompanied with the instruction "volti subito" (turn immediately). Bibliophile edition with commentary in Ger-Eng. Hardbound with blue paper boards and faux title etikett. $105 (more info... ) [item no.8624]

BEETHOVEN, Ludwig van, 1770-1827

[Concerto, piano, orch, no.5, op.73, “Emperor”, Eb major] Konzert für Klavier und Orchester Es-Dur Opus 73. Faksimile nach dem Autograph in der Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin Preußischer Kulturbesitz. Mit einem Kommentar herausgegeben von Hartmut Hein und einem Vorwort von Alfred Brendel. [Mus. ms. autogr. Beethoven 15].
Meisterwerke der Musik im Faksimile, 7. Laaber, 2005. Oblong, 32 x 24 cm, xxiv, 240 pp. Facsimile, in full-color, of the autograph manuscript preseved in the State Library, Berlin. Beethoven called his last piano concerto, written in the same key as the Eroica, E-flat major, “a grand concerto”. It was influenced by the political and social events of the time, originally intended as the people’s call to arms against Napoleon. Beethoven’s 1809 autograph score documents not only the compositional process of the work written over a period of more than a year, but also provides a fascinating biographical testimony, as it was in the same year, sadly, that the composer had to discontinue his own public performances as a pianist due to his ever worsening deafness. This tragic break in his performing career caused him to develop a much more detailed autograph of the Fifth Piano Concerto than those of his earlier works.

Cronaca del luogo. Azione musicale. Testo di Talia P. Berio (1999). Partitura.
Milan, 2006. 32 x 46 cm. iv, 229 pp. Line-cut of the composer’s fair copy full score. Commissioned by the Salzburg Festival in 1999, Berio’s “Cronaca del luogo” (Chronical of the Place) consists of a prologue and 5 scenes set within a biblical landscape. It is the composer’s celebration of a special place—the “Felsenreitschule”, a stage carved out of a rock on a mountainside—and an extraordinary voice, expressed through the composer’s distinct music-theater called “azione musicale”. The work’s most dominant visible element is the musically ever-changing wall (stage) of immutable memories—where the story of Jericho, the tower of Babel, etc., unfold and define the place or luogo, chronicling through sound and light the varying manifestations of the presence of God in human life.

BOULEZ, Pierre, 1925

Le marteau sans maître. Fac-similé de l’épure et de la première mise au net de la partition / Facsimile of the Draft Score and the First Fair Copy of the Full Score. Édité par / Edited by Pascal Decroupet.
Eine Publikation der Paul Sacher Stiftung. Mainz, 2005. Oblong, 38 x 30 cm. 215 pp. Beautiful full-color facsimile edition of the autograph draft score and fair copy, produced on the occasion of the 80th birthday of the composer. Since its premiere 50 years ago at the 1955 Baden-Baden Festival, “Le marteau sans maître”, with its novel scoring (contralto, alto flute, viola, guitar, vibraphone, xylorimba and unpitched percussion) and poetry by René Char in four of the nine interlocked movements, has been considered one of the most outstanding serial works of the postwar avantgarde. Commentators have pointed out its wonderful hypnotic soundworld, complex rhythmic structure, and sudden bursts of instrumental crossfire, creating such a demand on the performers that some fifty rehearsals were required before its premiere. This excellent facsimile offers an exciting entry into Boulez’ “workshop”—allowing us to examine, side by side, the pencil draft score, final ink version, as well as a selection of sketch pages. Handsome binding in red linen with slipcase. $254 (more info... ) [item no.8588]

Prague, 2006. Oblong, 4°, 5, 4, 4 pp. Full-color facsimile of the autograph score, together with modern performance parts. The recently rediscovered bifolio begins with a sketch for a piece in four-part choral texture, without words; the Largo, spanning pages 2 through 4, consist of 64 bars in 3/4 time and was probably composed in 1867. We can easily imagine this Largo having been composed to provide variety in a musical soirée in someone’s home, with the composer himself playing the viola, colleagues of his the flute and violin, and one of the audience members the triangle. Dvořák’s annotation at the end—”mea culpa, mea maxima culpa”—suggests that the piece may have been intended as a joke. Preface in Czech-Eng-Ger-Fr-Jap. Wrappers. $28 [item no.8784]

Almerico in Cipro. Partitura dell’opera in facsimile, edizione del libretto, saggio introduttivo a cura di Giovanni Morelli.
Drammaturgia Musicale Veneta, 7. Milan, 2005. Oblong, 30 x 23 cm, lxvi, 207 pp. Line-cut of a contemporary ms copy (full score), and first edition of the libretto. Almerico in Cipro is a representative opera from a long period in which the Venetian Republic experienced military and political setbacks; the opera’s sentimental and extremely intricate plot, containing many absurdities, is woven around royal characters from the Mediterranean area. The musical treatment seems to hint at the emergent “da capo” aria soon to blossom. Although there is a lack of any relationship between the contemporary historical events that affected the life of the city and state (here, the war in the Peloponnese) and the fictional stories of the opera, there does exist a typically Venetian allegorical dimension.

Facsimile and First Edition Edited by Berthold Over and the Bavarian State Library Munich, in Collaboration with the Editorial Staff of the Halle Handel Edition.
Documenta Musicologica, II/34. Kassel, 2006. Oblong, 4˚, iv, 12, 24 pp. Color facsimile of the recently rediscovered autograph fair copy. This exciting find was made in 2004 by Berthold Over and presents a different version of the aria arranged for solo soprano and realized keyboard (it was originally written for solo voice and orchestra). The three arias and two recitatives are transposed up one step from the orchestral version. The Munich autograph also has been given additional ornaments including numerous trills and slides in the vocal part. The new source is also very instructive for questions regarding performance practice, as Handel did not merely reduce the musical texture of the aria to an instrumental upper voice, vocal part, and bass, but the left hand of the keyboard part is often in two voices, whether in real two-part counterpoint or in doubled octaves. The autograph realization departs in several respects from realizations commonly used today, being very full in its sonority, and sometimes both the the right and left hands have to play multi-note chords. The realization—in the “full-voiced accompaniment”—makes no attempt to avoid doubled thirds or parallel fifths and octaves. Preface in Ger/Eng, together with practical edition.

Tokyo, 2005. 24.4 x 32 cm, xii, 48, 76 pp. Full-color facsimile edition of the recently rediscovered autograph score, a fair copy with numerous revisions and corrections on almost every page. Die erst Walpurgisnacht is considered one of Mendelssohn’s finest pieces and the composer lavished much care on its composition which spanned from 1830 until 1843, finally being published in 1844. This autograph of Die erste Walpurgisnacht was presented to the late Spanish cellist, Gaspar Cassadó by his patron, Giulietta Gordigiani von Mendelssohn, and upon Cassadó’s death it was inherited by his Japanese wife, the late pianist Chieko Hara. Subsequently it was donated by her family to Tamagawa University as part of a large collection of Cassadó’s former possessions. Critical commentary in Eng-Jap.

MEYERBEER, Giacomo, 1791-1864

L’Africaine. The Manuscript Facsimile. Introduced and Edited by Robert Letellier.
Middlesex, 2005. Oblong, 4°, xvi, 887 pp. Line-cut, in reduced format, of the composer's ms—clearly written and hardly annotated at all—providing Meyerbeer's original intentions. L'Africaine, Meyerbeer's last opera, was first considered in 1837 when Scribe presented him with two new libretti. The first—Le Prophète—he began composing immediately and by 1843 a piano score was ready for L'Africaine, but the subject as it stood then, concerning Fernando da Soto explorations in West Africa, did not satisfy Meyerbeer. Scribe was asked to rewrite the libretto in 1851, with the hero changed to Vasco da Gama, and focussed on his epic voyage around the Cape of Good Hope to India. A new contract was signed in 1857, and the greater part of the opera was written between 1857 and 1863, in spite of the Meyerbeer's growing debility. A copy of the full score was delivered to composer the day before he died on 2 May 1864. The opera was performed in a version prepared by François-Joseph Fétis a year later, 28 April 1865, and was a glorious posthumous tribute to its creators. It became enormously popular, being performed 60 times in the first four seasons and receiving 485 performances in Paris up until the end of the century. Hardbound, in black buckram.

Les Huguenots: The Manuscript Facsimile. Introduced and Edited by Robert Letellier.
Middlesex, 2005. Oblong, 29 x 20 cm, xx, 981 pp. Line-cut, in reduced format, of the composer's ms. Meyerbeer's Les Huguenots is the first panel of a central diptych on the Reformation, and the heart of the wider tetralogy of Meyerbeer's grand operas, where issues of power, religion and love are examined in a variety of modes. It is a gigantic drama, partly adapted by Scribe from Merimée's Chronique de Charles IX. Most of the vivid details gleaned from every available document related to the time, were the composer's contribution to Les Huguenots. The music for this sombre tapestry of the Saint Bartholomew Massacre creates a panoramic alternation of moods and captures the tragedy of religious intolerance and personal anguish in one of the most fraught events in history when some 30,000 French Protestants were murdered during the night of 24 August 1574. The opera became enormously popular, its various arias a touchstone of operatic lyricism, and by 1936 had been performed 1120 times in at the Paris Opéra alone. The facsimile edition of the manuscript, for so long kept private and then thought lost after the Second World War, enables lovers of opera to examine for themselves the compositional procedure of its great and often misunderstood creator. One can see the extent to which curtailment of the original conception was needed on the eve of the premiere: in the ensembles of both act 1 and 3 Meyerbeer's complex developments had to be reduced. The ever present problem of censorship also meant that the original idea of depicting Catherine de' Medici on stage as the instigator of the massacre had to be radically altered and her role substituted by the Comte de Saint Bris. The famous viola d'amore accompaniment to Raoul's rhapsodic act 1 romance ("Plus blanche que la blanche hermine") was originally conceived for the cello. Hardbound, in black buckram.

Le Prophète: The Manuscript Facsimile. Introduced and Edited by Robert Letellier.
Middlesex, 2005. Oblong, 29 x 20 cm, xv, 963 pp. Line-cut, in reduced format, of the composer's ms. Le Prophète is the second panel of Meyerbeer's Reformation diptych, his darkest and most mysterious opera. It explores issues of power and religion, fanaticism and faith, betrayal and trust, the demonic forces of history and the witness of little people caught up in them—the ultimate and enduring sacrificial power of love. The plot is based on the revolt of the Westphalian Anabaptists under the leadership of the Leyden tailor Johann Bockholdt in 1537-38. Meyerbeer, as usual, studied the historical period carefully, and the opera is especially remarkable for its vivid human portraiture, its psychological realism mixed with religious mysticism, prophecy, dreams, unconscious promptings, telepathy, aspiration, conversion, rich in mythical resonance. The opera was a worldwide success. The beauty of the Breughelesque recreation of 16th-c. Netherlandish scenery and costumes, as well as the glory of the Cathedral Scene, constituted nothing less than an apotheosis in the history of theatrical mise en scène. It was performed 573 times in Paris until 1912, and some individual numbers like the famous Coronation March, the Skaters' Ballet and the two arias of Fides became extremely popular. The manuscript shows how Meyerbeer had to make many musical adaptations to fit in with the stringent temporal regulations of the Paris Opéra, and the exigencies of his soloists. Jean's role in act 3 was considerably reduced to conserve the singers' stamina, as was the full version of Berthe's suicide in act 5, to save on performing time. Several scenes of real historical interest or dramaturgical importance had to be sacrificed and their restoration, together with the dark-hued but brilliantly virtuosic overture, should be considered for future productions.

Robert le Diable: The Manuscript Facsimile. Introduced and Edited by Robert Letellier. [Staatsbibliothek Preußischer Kulturbesitz, Berlin].
Middlesex, 2005. Oblong, 29 x 20 cm, xiv, 636 pp. Line-cut, in reduced format, of the composer's autograph score. The première on 21 November 1831 of Robert le Diable was one of the most sensational in the annals of opera, and its success throughout the 19th c. universal and enduring. Not only did the composer sum up the various impulses of the splendid French lyrico-dramatic tradition of grand opéra, and introduce widely influential, structural, melodic and orchestral ideas into general operatic currency, but he seemed to address the very soul and aspiration of the people of his age. The opera based on a legend, became a legend in its own right. The facsimile edition of the manuscript of this famous work, for so long kept private and then thought lost after the Second World War, enables lovers of opera to examine for themselves the compositional procedure of its great and often misunderstood creator. The admired pieces like Bertram's Évocation, Isabelle's cavatina of grace, the sensational Ballet of the Nuns in the ruins of a moonlit cloister, the decisive trio of redemption in the last act, can all be seen at their very inception. Meyerbeer produced a work “that changed the face of opera” (William J. Collins). The full significance of this score in the history of opera must still be properly assessed.

Mozart Operas in Facsimile, 1. Los Altos, 2006. Oblong, 4°, 3 vols, 888 pp. A beautiful and exacting full-color reproduction of the autograph score composed between September of 1780 and January of 1781, with additions and corrections as late as 1786. The facsimile reunites Acts I & II preserved today in the Biblioteka Jagiellońska Kraków, and the Act III and the ballet music (K.367) held by the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin. Mozart's score, written in a clear and neat handwritting, served as the source for a copyist's score used for the premiere. Yet by no means is Mozart’s autograph score a fair copy, as it represents a fascinating mixture of completely stable portions with ones that show clear signs of fluidity and development, with numerous crossouts, multiple versions, even versions that appear as rehearsal trials. The nature of the commission and the relatively strict time frame imposed on the composer must have turned the Palatine Elector Carl Theodor's residence into a noisy production studio, with various rehearsals going on simultaneously, copyists preparing parts, Mozart coaching and cajoling singers, all the while he was still composing the work. The opera saw, in addition to its Munich performance, a concert version in Vienna in 1786 with orchestra and tenor, portions of which are also documented in the facsimile. This beautiful bibliophile edition, in three volumes, bound in dark brown quarter leather with beige linen boards, inagurates the series "Mozart Operas in Facsimiles". $200 (more info... ) [item no.8623]
