Although 'Rhinegold', like any of the following three parts, is a drama on its own, it reveals its entire meaning only as introduction to the complete work. In 'The Nibelung's Ring', Wagner used his own word creations the principal characteristics of which are effective alliterations. For the first time, this first part of the 'Ring' also contains the 'reminiscence motifs' (it was not until after Wagner's death that Hans von Wolzogen invented the expression of the 'leitmotif' as it is used today).Apart from the libretto, this edition contains introductory commentaries of Kurt Pahlen who also adds information on the compositional structure and context to the musical as well as external and internal dramatic action of the opera. A short synopsis and a brief outline of the genesis bring the work into relation with the composer's entire oeuvre and life, thus offering a comprehensive, richly illustrated introduction.

First published in 1957, this work has been reprinted multiple times and appears now as both a full score as well as the individual parts that comprise it. Endre Szervanszky (1911-1977) created this work during a creative period when the basic starting point for musical invention was Hungarian folk song. However, the demanding and expert reshaping of this musical material also characterized his musical creations. This quintet for winds has also earned recognition from instrumental musicians with its sophistication, intensity, superb instrumental arrangement, and classical four-movement structure.This publication is printed on high-quality, age-resistant paper that is producedin an environmentally-friendly, climate-neutral manner using renewable raw materials.
