That Schumann truly dug his heels into symphonic creation becomes clear at the latest when we look not only at his four well-known symphonies, but also at the works between the genres, such as the Overture, Scherzo and Finale. Unlike the traditional symphonic form, this work has no slow movement. Schumann spoke of it as a suite which hints at a loose connection of movements and as a sinfonietta. Ultimately, he decided to name it after the headings of the three movements which also share common traits among one another. Overture, Scherzo and Finale is being published here for the first time with an Urtext score and parts. The genesis of the work was marked by corrections and revisions. Schumann subjected the work to a thorough revision after the premiere performance and, after the publication of the orchestral parts in 1846, made more changes for the first edition of the score seven years later.Urtext of Schumanns Sinfonietta.

Das 3. Schumann-Symposion 1988 wurde aus doppeltem Anlass unter das Thema 'Robert Schumann in Dusseldorf' gestellt. Die 700-Jahr-Feier der Stadtwerdung Dusseldorfs gab Anlass, Leben und Wirken des bedeutendsten Komponisten, der in der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts hier wohnte und wirkte, zu gedenken. Das Vorhaben der Schumann-Forschungsstelle, den Beginn der Gesamtausgabe mit den vernachlassigten spaten Werken zu beginnen, war zugleich auch Richtschnur fur das 3. Robert-Schumann-Fest in seiner Programmgestaltung. Das Symposion, die Arbeit an der Gesamtausgabe und das Fest waren so eng aufeinander bezogen. Die Ausstellung 'Schumann und die Dusseldorfer Malerschule' im Foyer des Tagungsortes dokumentierte bildhaft erganzend die soziale und kunstlerische Einbettung von Clara und Robert Schumann in die Dusseldorfer Gesellschaft. Zunachst erwies sich, dass durchaus trotz eines so geringen Zeitabstandes von nur drei Jahren zum vorhergehenden Schumann-Symposion wirklich neue Ergebnisse in der Schumann-Forschung vorgelegt werden konnten. Dazu bei trugen die wichtigen Quellen der Tagebucher und Haushaltsbucher, die Gerd Nauhaus 1982 und 1987 veroffentlicht hatte. Seine Anwesenheit gab Gelegenheit, die besondere Rolle des Schumann-Hauses in Zwickau fur alle Forschungsbemuhungen hervorzuheben. In den drei Vortragen und zwolf Referaten kamen zwar die beiden Schwerpunkte: Schumanns Lebens- und Wirkungsverhaltnisse in Dusseldorf, seine Begegnung mit einer besonderen rheinischen Kunstszene sowie das Spatwerk in seinem grossen Umfang voll zur Sprache, jedoch stellte sich bald heraus, dass das Verstandnis der Zeit und der Werke nur auf dem Hintergrund seiner fruheren Jahrzehnte zu begreifen und zu interpretieren ist. Mannigfache Faden verbinden Schumann mit seinen fruheren Wirkungsstatten und seinen jeweils spezifischen Schaffensprinzipien der einzelnen Gattungen.Obwohl die Generalthematik so auf eine bestimmte Zeitphase zugespitzt war, ergaben die Beitrage und Diskussionen bald, dass uber sich vernetzende Bezuge letztlich ganz allgemeine Dimensionen von Schumanns schopferischer Personlichkeit auch sein Spatwerk durchdringen und die forschenden Fragestellungen bestimmten. Naturlich behielten die Musik und ihre quellenmassige Uberlieferung ebenso wie Fragen der Auffuhrungsweise und der Rezeption ihren Stellenwert, jedoch weitete sich manche Analyse des Details aus zu den Grundfragen von Genie und Krankheit, neben dem Verhaltnis von Musik und Literatur trat jetzt verstarkt das Verhaltnis von Musik und Malerei in den Vordergrund, aber mit der nachrevolutionaren Zeit und dem Ortswechsel auch das Verhaltnis von Musik und Offentlichkeit, ja Musik und Politik. Wieder einmal zeigte sich gerade bei Schumann die romantische Einheit von Kunstler und Werk mit den geistigen und geschichtlichen Stromungen und Ereignissen seiner Welt.

Schumann's Piano Concerto is known all over the world, yet despite its popularity it remains in a certain sense an undiscovered work. The aim with this edition is not only to provide a critical score of the work, but at the same time to indicate what questions of detail should form the focus of future research. The critical analysis offered here thus offers discussion of the relationship between the one-movement Fantasia version and the three-movement concerto version, the problem of the transition from the second to the third movement and a series of questions relating to the version completed in 1853. A booklet of facsimiles completes the volume.

Between Beethoven and Brahms, a long neglected workSchumann's last work for solo instrument and orchestra was not given its premiere until 1937, at which time it was also released in an editorially inadequate version. A re-evaluation of Schumann's late oeuvre began in the 1980s, in the wake of which the missing link between the concertos of Beethoven and Brahms (Yehudi Menuhin) also drew increasing attention. Since then, those in the know have come to appreciate the work, whose unique musical and technical demands challenge for both interpreter and listener.This new edition of what is perhaps the most underestimated masterpiece of the Romantic era is the first meticulously prepared Urtext edition of the score. Nothing short of incredible is the fact that the composer's own piano reduction from which Clara Schumann and Joseph Joachim played the piece is being published here for the first time! Thomas Zehetmair, who has significantly contributed to the re-assessment of the concerto, assumed the task of providing a sound technical basis to his revision of the solo part.Perhaps this edition will help stimulate awareness and appreciation of this unjustly forgotten romantic violin concerto described by Menuhin as the missing link between the concertos by Beethoven to Brahms. (John Thomson, Stringendo)Schumann's last work for solo instrument and orchestra was not given its premiere until 1937. This new edition is the first meticulously prepared Urtext edition of the score and the composer's own piano reduction - from which Clara played the piece!

Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy as letter-writer: at the heart of 19th century European cultureAs one of the most important letter-writers of the 19th century, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy maintained an extensive correspondence. With great style and eloquence he wrote letters to friends and family, letters from his travels and he also wrote to leading composers, musicians, artists as well as publishers. He corresponded with famous contemporaries such as Robert Schumann, Franz Liszt and Richard Wagner as well as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Carl Friedrich Zelter and Alexander von Humboldt. The correspondence begins in 1816 and ends in 1847 with the composer’s death. These letters are invaluable documents shedding light not only on the genesis, publication and revision of his musical works, but also on a period when relations between Christians and Jews still had a chance to become harmonious, as Moses Mendelssohn, the imminent scholar and grandfather of the composer had advocated.This edition will therefore be of great interest far beyond the circles of musicologists and music specialists. It will appeal to those who are interested in the history of culture and ideas and to those who perceive Mendelssohn and his family as representatives of a unique, diverse cultural epoch. The complete correspondence shows that Mendelssohn not only went on to become one of the leading figures of German musical culture in the 1840s, but that he also maintained a network of musical contacts throughout Europe.The edition of the complete lettersThis scholarly-critical complete edition comprises 5,855 letters by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy. Previously only a small part of his correspondence had been published and made accessible to the public. The complete edition is based on Mendelssohn letters which have been compiled over decades by Rudolf Elvers as well as on international research carried out by an academic workgroup in Leipzig spearheaded by chief editors Helmut Loos and Wilhelm Seidel. They determined 500 additional letters hitherto unknown. Versions of the letter texts have been compiled from a scholarly-critical analysis of the sources, their historical context has been discussed and comments on all points in need of explanation have been made.This edition of the complete letters consists of 12 volumes and a CD-ROM. Each volume contains indices of mentioned individuals and institutions, compositions by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy and Fanny Hensel as well as a register of place names and currencies. In this way one obtains an all-encompassing view of this unique historical cosmos.The Complete edition has been produced to the highest standards in terms of layout, cover and binding. It is an ideal collector’s item for bibliophiles, providing an excellent means for studying the composer and the period in which he lived.The CD-ROM forms a valuable addition to the printed volumes. It offers the complete printed edition in the form of pdf. files, thereby making its approximately 9,500 pages digitally accessible and enabling letters and the corresponding commentary to be read in parallel.
