Projektleiter: Professor Dr. Christian Martin Schmidt, Berlin. Adresse: Karl-Tauchnitz-Straße 1, 04107 Leipzig. Anschrift für Briefe: Postfach 100 440, 04004 Leipzig; Tel. 0341/7115336, Fax 0341/ 7115344, e-mail: [email protected], www.saw-leipzig.de. Verlag: Breitkopf & Härtel, Wiesbaden/Leipzig. Umfang der Ausgabe: Geplant sind ca. 80 Notenbände mit eingebundenen Kritischen Berichten, ca. 75 Bände Briefe, Schriften und Tagebücher, eine noch unbestimmte An- zahl Dokumentenbände sowie ein Band Werkverzeichnis. Seit 1992 sind davon 25 No- tenbände sowie eine Studien-Ausgabe des Werkverzeichnisses erschienen. Hauptamtliche wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiter der Forschungsstelle sind Dr. Salome Rei- ser und Dr. Ralf Wehner. Als wissenschaftlich-technische Mitarbeiterin ist Birgit Mül- ler M.A. halbtags tätig. An der Edition sind externe Bandherausgeber beteiligt. Erschienen sind folgende Bände: Sinfonie in A-Dur („Italienische“) (I/6), Fassung 1833, herausgegeben von Thomas Schmidt-Beste. Von Mendelssohns A-Dur-Sinfonie MWV N 16, die der Komponist nie zur Publikation freigab und die demzufolge erst 1851 postum als „Opus 90“ (und Nummer 19 der nachgelassenen Werke) erschien, liegen zwei Fassungen vor: eine Erstniederschrift, vollständig in vier Sätzen, die im April 1833 unter Leitung des Komponisten in London uraufgeführt wurde (und dort auch noch drei weitere Aufführungen erlebte), sowie eine 1834 begonnene Neufassung, die allerdings nur die Sätze 2 bis 4 beinhaltet und erst in jüngster Zeit der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich gemacht wurde. Aus Sicht des Komponisten waren beide Fassungen dieses heute so populären Werkes für Aufführung und Publikation gleichermaßen ungeeignet. Die erste Fassung wurde zwar öffentlich aufgeführt, nahm damit kurzzeitig auch aus Mendelssohns eigener Sicht „Werk- charakter“ an – aber er zog sie schon kurze Zeit später zurück und verwarf sie letztlich.

  • Mendelssohn's DIE ERSTE WALPURGISNACHT Beethoven's CHORAL FANTASY and OPFERLIED
    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon tile quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1 The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)" If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity 2 When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame If copynghted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3 When a map, drawing or chart, etc , is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of "sectioning" the material has been followed It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete 4.

  • The Cambridge Companion to Mendelssohn Edited by Peter Mercer-Taylor Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 0521826039 - The Cambridge Companion to Mendelssohn Edited by Peter Mercer-Taylor Frontmatter More information The Cambridge Companion to Mendelssohn The Companion to Mendelssohn is written by leading scholars in the field. In fourteen chapters they explore the life, work, and reception of a composer-performer once thought uniquely untroubled in life and art alike, but who is now broadly understood as one of the nineteenth century’s most deeply problematic musical figures. The first section of the volume considers issues of biography, with chapters dedicated to Mendelssohn’s role in the emergence of Europe’s modern musical institutions, to the persistent tensions of his German-Jewish identity, and to his close but enigmatic relationship with his gifted older sister, Fanny. The following nine essays survey Mendelssohn’s expansive and multi-faceted musical output, marked as it was by successes in almost every contemporary musical genre outside of opera. The volume’s two closing essays confront, in turn, the turbulent course of Mendelssohn’s posthumous reception and some of the challenges his music continues to pose for modern performers. peter mercer-taylor is Associate Professor of Musicology at the University of Minnesota School of Music. He is the author of The Life of Mendelssohn (Cambridge, 2000) and has published in a number of journals including The Journal of Musicology and Popular Music. © Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 0521826039 - The Cambridge Companion to Mendelssohn
