The volume contains 122 portraits of Hector Berlioz, including paintings, medals, busts, woodcuts, drawings, lithographs, photographs and caricatures. It also presents several doubtful or spurious portraits. Each reproduction is accompanied by information on its date, artist and present location. This collection of all known Berlioz portraits sheds entirely new light on the life and surroundings of the great French composer. The Portraits of Hector Berliozis the first collection of all the portraits made of Berlioz during his lifetime. It ranges from photographs, formal paintings and drawings by way of woodcuts and lithographs to the many caricatures which his striking appearance attracted. Each picture is accompanied by a full description and thorough documentation of its location and history, details of the artist's career and relationship with Berlioz, an explanation of the circumstances of the picture's creation, and much else in the way of relevant comment. This documentation also sheds light on the development of photography and its position in the society of the Second Empire , as well as on the emphasis on caricature in the often satirical journalism of the day. Where they contribute to the appreciation of the picture, the articles which the caricatures illustrate, or extracts from them, are also included in an Appendix. Some of the pictures are published for the first time and many for the first time in colour. As well as being fascinating and often entertaining, the collection adds to our understanding of Berlioz's life, times and the circumstances in which his music was composed and performed.

Mit dem Thema des 5. Internationalen Schumann-Symposions 1994 wurde erstmals ein Forschungsbereich gewahlt, der nicht auf Schumann allein bezogen ist, sondern eine bewusste europaische Ausweitung zur Musikkultur der westlichen Nachbarnation beinhaltet. Unter dem Motto Phantastik und Virtuositat liessen sich wesentliche Gemeinsamkeiten subsumieren, die Schumanns Verhaltnis zu franzosischen oder in Paris wirkenden Komponisten wie Berlioz, Liszt, Chopin, Herz und Meyerbeer kennzeichnen. Im Blickpunkt der Beitrage stehen Schumanns Besprechungen franzosischer Musik, seine personlichen Bekanntschaften und Briefwechsel, gegenseitige Widmungen von Werken, aber auch unterschiedliche literarische Orientierungen der Komponisten, die zuruckgehende Rezeption Schumannscher Werke in Frankreich und die zunehmende Distanzierung von Tendenzen franzosischer Musik bei Schumann selbst. Der Bericht wird vervollstandigt durch die Dokumentation eines Roundtables Zum Quellenwert von Originalausgaben, in dem auch das projektierte Schumann-Werkverzeichnis erstmals vorgestellt werden konnte.

Supplementary Volume 16 of the New Liszt Edition contains free arrangements and technical exercises. In the first section can be found early versions of three arrangements. The first consists of the first and intermediary versions of a transcription of Die Rose, a song Schubert composed to a poem by Schlegel. The arrangement of the second movement of Berlioz's Harold Symphony also draws on literary inspiration: Lord Byron's (1788-1824) narrative poem Childe Harold's Pilgrimage (1812-18) was a literary experience Liszt shared with Berlioz. The fantasy on themes from Bellini's opera La sonnambula [The Sleepwalker] (here the first version of 1842, and the second version dating from the following decade are given) is important in music history because it was while he worked on this (and other operatic fantasies) that Liszt developed a new concept of the form, which took shape in more complex and more concentrated fantasies than before. Particularly interesting material can be found in the appendix. In addition to sketches and drafts for arrangements of Spanish themes, there are three sources published here for the first time, which shed light on technical aspects of Liszt's piano teaching. These are three sets of exercises: the first written by Liszt himself for Valérie Boissier in 1832; the second a copy in an unidentified hand from the same period or slightly later; and finally the third which was noted down in 1871 by Henri Maréchal in Rome based on the composer's dictation. This latest volume of the New Liszt Edition includes a detailed preface in German, English, and Hungarian containing new research findings, together with five manuscript facsimiles and critical notes. Simultaneously with the cloth-bound Complete Edition, a practical paperback version has been published, the contents of which are identical to those of the hardcover edition, minus the inclusion of critical notes.
