Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy completed his first oratorio – St. Paul Op.36 – in 1836 at the age of twenty-seven. The first version which was premiered on 22 May 1836 was then extensively revised by the composer. This second version which at the same time served as the basis for the published version was premiered as early as October that year in Birmingham. The acclaim with which the oratorio was received was exceptional. Within eighteen months of completing the score Mendelssohn was able to list fifty performances of the work. Robert Schumann praised the work effusively and even Richard Wagner who later denigratedMendelssohn was full of admiration. Today St. Paul belongs to the core repertoire of sacred choral music. This Urtext edition of the oratorio edited by the internationally-recognised Mendelssohn scholar Michael Cooper is based on all critical sources. As well as the principal version of the work the score also includes for the first time numbers which were composed for the first version and subsequently removed. This gives not only an insight into the history of the composition of the work but also with the complete performing material into the performance of the original version. The full score and vocal score (BA9071-90) include the German and English texts of the oratorio. The vocal score is by Mendelssohn. Urtext edition representing the latest musicological research Includes all numbers from the original version for the first time Vocal texts in German and English Straightforward Piano reduction

Ballade by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe-During the summer of 1799 Goethe wrote his ballad ?Die erste Walpurgisnacht ? and asked his friend Carl Friedrich Zelter to set the work to music. Zelter however felt unable to do this and so Goethe?s wish was only realised thirty years later by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy.The ?heavenly words? of the pagan ballads had impressed the composer so much after a visit to Weimar that he was inspired to set them to music. In 1832 the composition took shape and was performed a year later in the Sing- Akademie in Berlin.Mendelssohn was however unhappy with the first version of the work and held it back until he decided on a radical revision ofthe work ten years after its premiere. Die ?erste Walpurgisnacht? was first performed in 1843 in Leipzig in the presence of Robert Schumann and Hector Berlioz in the form in which the work is still performed today. The publication of this edition by John Michael Cooper Associate Professor of Music History at the University of North Texas (Denton) makes the work available in an Urtext edition for the first time in time for the 200th anniversary of the composer?s birth. The edition reflects the latest state of research and the volume includes a Critical Commentary.- One of Mendelssohn?s most important secular works in an edition reflecting the latest research findings.- Bärenreiter Urtext for the Mendelssohn anniversary year 2009.- Critical Commentary (Eng)- Full score (BA9072) and vocal score (BA9072-90) for sale; performance material (BA9072-72) available for hire.

With his Variations Sérieuses Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy contributed to the anthology Album-Beethoven which had been initiated by the Viennese publisher Pietro Mechetti and whose proceeds were to be donated for the funding of the Beethoven monument in Bonn. In order to do justice to the high standards of the composer to be honoured Mendelssohn decided in favour of a cycle of variations which clearly stands out from the superficially virtuoso variation style of that time. The new edition of the Wiener Urtext Edition is based on the autograph engraver’s copy and the first prints. In addition the correspondence of Mechetti'seditor Becher with Mendelssohn could be consulted for clarifying problematic textual instances. The notes on interpretation by Peter Roggenkamp cover various aspects – from learning to master the technical demands to practical performance details. The edition is rounded off by a practical and user-friendly notation.

LIght pieces by Cornelius Gurlitt, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, Paul Zilcher, Eberhard Werdin and Reinhold Weber Instrument : piano (6 hands) Nombre de Pages : 52 Charles Burney (1726-1814), to whom we owe the educational merit of 'Duets for two performers', also points out one of the difficulties of that entirely new genre: and although at first sight the greater proximity of both players' hands seems restricting and confusing, a little practice and imagination as regards fingering and positioning of hands will eliminate these problems. This applies particularly to these original (and adapted) piano pieces for six hands. They are intended for both school and home, and used appropriately and intelligently by a discerning teacher may offer pupils equal 'study and leisure' opportunities. Apart from the first original compositon for six hands by Wilhelm Friedrich Ernst Bach (1759-1845), a grandson of J.S. Bach, this book contains in particular 'pièces célèbres' in skilful arrangements by Theodor Herbert (first edition 1880) and Max Schultze (first edition 1888). The edition is part of the Trinity syllabus 2007 (grades medium and advanced) Content : J.S. Bach: 2 Gavotten - Haydn: 2 Menuette - W.F.E. Bach: Dreyblatt - Beethoven: Türkischer Marsch - Mendelssohn Bartholdy: Hochzeitsmarsch

Instrument : flute Nombre de Pages : 72 In this volume, the teacher Robert Winn from the Cologne Academy of Music has compiled a collection of 133 tunes which shall spur on and encourage flutists to listen to and play also music composed for other instruments as well as different styles. From the repertoire for strings, piano or voice, symphonic music, chamber music, solo literature and operas, he has compiled a repertoire that shall contribute to the discovery of elements which are imperative to the development of the performer's interpretive skills and the flute sound. The ideas presented in the present edition are the result of his experience as a flutist in major international symphony orchestras and chamber music ensembles as well as a studio musician.
