GERSHWIN, George (1898-1937) - Concerto for Piano in F (Urtext) (Gertsch). BREITKOPF & HAERTEL

PB15140 / pf, orch

From publisher's website: In its eventful history, George Gershwin's "Concerto in F" went through numerous changes, cuttings, arrangements, many of which were doubtful and unauthorized. Even the first and so far only printed orchestral score, edited by Frank Campbell-Watson, published in 1942 (five years after Gershwin's death), contains many unauthorized interventions. Through years of research, editor Norbert Gertsch has succeeded in ridding the work of all unauthorized additions and alterations and thus reconstructing an Urtext in its original literal sense from the complex source material from autograph sketches to early recordings. The first text-critical edition of the work is a joint production of Breitkopf (score and orchestral parts) and G. Henle Verlag (piano reduction).

PB05299 / orch: 3d1, 2d1, 3d1de-fl.cl, 3d1, 2sax - 4, 4, 3, 1, timp, perc, hp, cel, str

Jean-Francois Monnard's new Urtext edition is the first to be based on a musicologically well-founded source comparison. Ravel's first sketch of the score as well as his final handwritten score were laid down as the principal sources. In his preface, Monnard examines Ravel's sound aesthetics against the background of concert reception and historical recordings. Moreover, he also provides insights into Ravel's ideas concerning the tempo: "I must say that the Bolero is rarely conducted the way I think it should. Mengelberg speeds up and slows down excessively. Toscanini takes it twice as fast as it should be and broadens the tempo at the close, which is indicated nowhere. No: the Bolero should be played in one single tempo from the beginning to the end, in the plaintive and monotonous style of Spanish-Arabian melodies."

4.4(4th dEH).4+BCl.3+CBsn: 4.4.4.1: Timp(2).Perc(3-4): Clst.Hp: Str (4-4-3-3-3 in set): Banda: OnStg Pno: Vocal Soli (12 roles: STrebleATTTTBarBarBarBB): Mixed Chor.

Austrian composer Alban Berg (1885-1935) composed the three-act opera Wozzeck between 1914 and 1922 after seeing a production of German playwright Georg Büchner's incomplete drama Woyzeck. Beginning the work in 1914, including the adaptation of Büchner's text into a libretto, Berg's obsession with completing the opera was interrupted by his serving in the Austro-Hungarian Army from 1915 to 1918 and during World War I, an experience which significantly altered his approach to Wozzeck. The plot, which depicts the lives of the inhabitants and soldiers of a rural German-speaking town, follows the title character as he is abused by the soldiers and deals with the infidelity of his wife, who he eventually murders before drowning himself. The opera ends with Wozzeck's son obliviously continuing to play with the other children as word of his murdered mother begins to spread. The opera finally premiered by the Berlin State Opera, Erich Kleiber conducting, on December 14, 1925, eleven years after Berg began work. It is considered the first avant-garde opera, and it famously employs atonality and Sprechgesang, although it does make use of leitmotifs and some classic forms to create some unity and coherence throughout the music and plot. The opera is performed often in both staged and concert settings.
