BachScholar Edition Vol. 18 – Toccata & Fugue in D Minor, BWV 565 (10 pages) presents Bach’s famous organ work in a highly idiomatic piano transcription. More of a literal transcription than an arrangement, this version remains true to Bach’s original organ score, which makes it accessible to the average pianist. (In contrast, the Busoni and Tausig arrangements are too difficult for most pianists.) Ideal for pianists from the late-intermediate levels and higher as well as concert artists and teachers who seek an exciting and authentic transcription of Bach for the concert hall or teaching studio. Includes tempo indications and fingering. Published by: BachScholar Publishing, LLC.

Busoni's Bach Advanced SchoolIn October 1909, Breitkopf & Hartel succeeded in winning Ferruccio Busoni for the edition of Johann Sebastian Bach's piano works. Busoni had studied the music of Bach more intensively than almost any other artist of his time had. As a pianist, arranger, theorist and pedagogue, Busoni was instrumental in bringing Bach out of the 19th century and into the 20th century. That same year, Busoni and two collaborators, Bruno Mugellini and Egon Petri, began work on the instructive edition, which was to comprise 25 volumes. The first volumes were published in the spring of 1916, and in May 1923, the Bach Advanced School project was finally completed. This also marked the end of Busoni's thirty-year-long creative involvement with Bach's works, the impact of which still reaches far beyond the Bach-Busoni formula.All alterations and additions pursue the educational intent of affording the student insight into the mechanism of the composition. Moreover, they illustrate and supplement the views presented only in a sketchy manner in the introductions. In several cases, it takes the sum of the comments on the various pieces to constitute the all-encompassing opinion on one and the same question. (Ferruccio Busoni).

Bach's pedagogical pieces, which even his sons practised, especially Wilhelm Friedemann and Carl Philipp Emanuel, are still used throughout the course of learning the piano today. These eighteen preludes have been grouped and published in one volume ever since the Ferruccio Busoni edition at the beginning of the 20th century, although current scholarship questions the authorship of some of the works.Through his work as teacher and editor, Lajos Hernádi has supplied the eighteen preludes with performance indications. This edition, already familiar to the Hungarian public, is now available to students of music in a new form.

Saggi di Robert Abels, Fabian Brinkmann, Bernd Edelmann, Thomas Emmerig, Vincent Grau, Hartmuth Kinzler, Michael Klaper, Beate Angelika Kraus, Heinz von Loesch, Albrecht von Massow, Gerhard Poppe, Michael Raab, Wilhelm Seidel, Bernhold Schmid, Christian Speck, Glenn Stanley, Andreas Traub, Reinhard WiesendMusical composition is always related to the work's realisation in sound. A written form is required in order to give shape to the compositional intention. Consequently it is text, the musical text, which mediates between the act of composition and the performance. The object of the musical edition is to prepare the text so that the will of the composer is presented to the musicians in a way that allows the composition to become realised musically. The edition thus inevitably establishes a conflict between divergent orientations, such as between science and practice, preservation and actualization, as well as textual criticism and hermeneutics. Because his editorial decisions are fundamentally interpretive the editor must know and understand the historical and hermeneutical problems of his subject, especially when it comes to determining what stage of the work is to be presented. The editing of music is not always restricted to mediation; it may also represent a translation.The present collection of essays -- all but one, in German -- is a Festschrift for Petra Weber's 60th birthday. It combines contributions on music and music editing by Robert Abels, Fabian Brinkmann, Bernd Edelmann, Thomas Emmerig, Vincent Grau, Hartmuth Kinzler, Michael Klaper, Beate Angelika Kraus, Heinz von Loesch, Albrecht von Massow, Gerhard Poppe, Michael Raab, Bernhold Schmid, Wilhelm Seidel, Glenn Stanley, Andreas Traub, and Reinhard Wiesend. Among the composers treated, Ludwig van Beethoven will occupy a prominent place. Special consideration will also given to Didier Lupi, Francesco Cavalli, Johann Sebastian Bach, Johann Adolf Hasse, Franz Schubert, Giovanni Simone Mayr, Ferruccio Busoni, Carl Orff, and Sandor Veress.
