March 2018 | Prices correct at time of going to print but subject to change PREFACE 3 Edition Peters, with its three offices in Leipzig, London and New York, has always had a truly international approach to music. Continuing the tradition, 2018 sees the company launch many projects sourced from a richly diverse range of cultures and countries. We begin with the launch of The Silk Road Series, a groundbreaking co-publication with our partners in China, the Central Conservatoire of Music Press in Beijing. Eight of China’s leading contemporary composers have contributed major works to the series, inspired by the Silk Road. And fittingly, Leipzig – where the Peters story began in 1800 – is now on the New Silk Road (“Belt and Road”). Leipzig provides the powerful music included in our Peters East German Library 1949 – 1990. The years in which Germany, and the publishing house itself, were divided between East and West form an important chapter in the company’s story. The output of composers from the East German firm – then known as VEB Edition Peters, Leipzig – forms a unique and valuable part of the company’s identity and, more widely, of European cultural history, making this repertoire well worth rediscovering. Additionally, as a city inextricably associated with J.S. Bach, Leipzig links to The Orgelbüchlein Project: a 21st-century completion of Bach’s Orgelbüchlein. From the New Silk Road we travel to South America with La Voz Latina – a project eagerly awaited by choral directors around the world. This landmark project has been years in A MUSICAL development, and will provide an amazingly rich new offering of previously unavailable music for choirs. Our Latin theme continues with Tango Canción. Tango is surely one of the most JOURNEY passionate and popular musical forms, and this new collection brings together some of the most famous tunes in new arrangements for voice and piano. Back in Europe we continue our commitment to new Urtext editions, renewing and extending some of the most important sections of the Edition Peters catalogue. Highlights this year include the release of the next volumes in The Complete Chopin – A New Critical Edition, and new editions of the keyboard music of J.S. Bach and Liszt. 2018 also brings the completion of our award-winning Fauré Songs edition: the first ever serious critical assessment and Urtext edition of this inspirational and essential repertoire for singers. Finally, with more than the score… we explore the exciting link between print and digital products from a truly global perspective. This series uses exclusive content available in the Piano Masterworks collection on the Tido Music platform. This rapidly growing library of video performances, masterclasses and digital editions, enhanced with audio recordings and enlightening contextual articles on the composers and their music, now boasts over 100 Edition Peters volumes of essential piano music – a truly amazing resource for all pianists. Edition Peters is without doubt the vocal music publisher of choice for singers around the world, and has now released vocal digital editions on the two latest collections on the Tido platform: Vocal Masterworks and Educational Vocal. The first titles released in digitally-enhanced editions with audio include the iconic Arie Antiche and Vaccai’s Metodo Pratico, together with hundreds of Lieder and chansons. A great start for singers of all levels. We hope you find something to enjoy from the music of our world tour!
