Beethoven’s Greeting is geschreven ter gelegenheid van het 400-jarig bestaan van de Canadese stad Quebec. Philip Sparke schreef deze fantasie, gebaseerd op Beethovens canon Freu’ dich des Lebens, als muzikale groet aandeze stad. Beethoven’s Greeting heeft een langzame inleiding die is gebaseerd op de canon, dan volgt een levendig Vivo, dat later dient als discant van de canon - die terugkomt in de zang van het optionele koor (SATB).De melodie is ook verweven in de orkestratie.Beethoven’s Greeting wurde zur 400-Jahrfeier der kanadischen Stadt Quebec geschrieben. Philip Sparke wählte für seinen musikalischen Gruß den Kanon Freu dich des Lebens, den Beethoven auf Wunsch eines nach Quebec ausgewanderten befreundeten Musikers zum Andenken geschrieben hatte. Der Kanon in Sparkes Fantasie kann optional von einem SATB-Chor gesungen werden, die Melodie ist auch in der Orchestrierung enthalten. L’année 2008 marque le 400e anniversaire de la fondation de la ville de Québec (1608-2008) au Canada. Pour célébrer cet événement, la Musique des Voltigeurs de Québec, une unité d’infanterie de la force terrestre des Forces canadiennes, a fait appel au compositeur Philip Sparke pour l’écriture de deux œuvres de concert (disponibles sur un compact disc édité spécialement pour cette occasion). Philip Sparke a composé Sounds of the Saint Lawrence (Échos du Saint-Laurent), une suite de chants traditionnels québécois, et cette fantaisie libre sur le canon Freu’ dich des Lebens de Ludwig van Beethoven. L’histoire de ce canon est absolument fascinante. En1822, Théodore Frédéric Molt, un professeur, auteur, pianiste et organiste allemand - ancien soldat dans l'armée napoléonienne ayant combattu Waterloo - arrive Québec. En 1825, il retourne en Europe afin de parfaire sa formation. Au cours de son séjour, il rend visite Beethoven. Quelques jours plus tard, il fait parvenir une lettre au compositeur sourd en incluant une feuille blanche sur laquelle il lui demande d'écrire « du fond de son grand cœur » un souvenir « qui restera pour moi, une distance qu'il me faudra presque 3000 heures pour parcourir, un document éternellement précieux. »Beethoven accepte et, le 16 décembre 1825 (jour de ses cinquante-cinq ans), il présente Théodore Molt le canon Freu’ dich des Lebens Le manuscrit est actuellement conservé dans une collection canadienne.Beethoven’s Greeting (“La signature de Beethoven”) débute avec une introduction lente basée sur le canon. S’ensuit un Vivo qui sera repris ultérieurement sous la forme d’un déchant la mélodie du canon. Le thème du canon est chanté par le chœur quatre voix (SATB) optionnel (AMP 243-050), mais la mélodie est également présente dans l’orchestration.

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.

Beethoven’s “Diabelli Variations”, written between 1819 and 1823, mark the pinnacle of his oeuvre for variations and next to Bach’s “Goldberg Variations” form one of the most important contributions to this genre. In addition to Beethoven, 50 other composers from Austria, mainly Vienna, followed Diabelli’s call to create variations for his famous waltz, among them Czerny, Moscheles, Fr. X. Mozart, Schubert, the 11-year-old Liszt and J. N. Hummel.The variations first printed by Diabelli fictively as “Fatherlandish Union of Artists Part I” (Beethoven’s op. 120) and “Part II” (the 50 variations of Vienna’s “most excellent composers and virtuosos”) are presented here by Mario Aschauer for the first time in one edition. Furthermore the variations of Part II appear in an Urtext edition for the first time. The musical text is based on a meticulous study of the sources and for the first time relevant discrepancies between the main sources are presented in light grey print.A detailed Critical Commentary (Eng) and notes regarding Viennese piano performance practice during Beethoven’s day complete this special Urtext edition based on the most current research.
