Etudes d'exécution transcendante
Product Details
Description
Notes from numerous sources
In the new edition of 'Etudes d'execution transcendante'(1851) the music has been revised and corrected. These corrections were drawn from numerous sources (including the 1837 version of Grandes Etudes appearing in the appendix) and complemented by variations previously disregarded and with Liszt's own fingerings. Also included is the critical edition of the alternative version of Etude No 11 (Harmonies du soir from 1876) and, published for the first time, the critical edition of two 'Grandes Etudes'. The notes on interpretation are based exclusively on historical sources, such as documentation left by Liszt's pupils and the analysis of performance instructions in the early edition.

Standard works of music literature in the original text
The Wiener Urtext Edition is a scientific critical edition for prac-tice and differs from other editions declared as "original text" in that it contains extensive textual informa-tion in German and English (partly French):
Its preface informs about the work, its genesis and significance for the history of music, about written records and problems of the wording of the text as well as about the respective method applied for editing. Despite their necessary briefness, the critical annotations clearly account for editorial decisions and mention textual divergence going back to the author himself. The music text itself was produced on the basis of an exact checking of all sources by experienced musico-logists. Autographs, first editions, copies and patterns for engravings were used.
In some cases, these materials were analysed completely for the first time. Editions for teaching, studies, concert practice, including comprehensive information about the works by detailed introductions and editorial notes and notes on interpretation. Prepared for practice by interpreters resp. educationalists of international repute.
