Editorial 

Dear customers, 

35 in quick succession! Is it possible to prepare a new edition of 

Beethoven’s complete piano sonatas in exceptional quality in just 

a few years’ time? The answer is: Yes! – with an exceptional editor – 

Jonathan Del Mar. We are grateful that we found such a person to 

work with us on this special project. 

Jonathan Del Mar is not only known for his astounding knowledge 

of Beethoven’s music and his phenomenal memory, he also works 

with remarkable precision and speed. At times, one is reminded of 

Beethoven’s words: “I live only in my notes, and with one work barely 

finished, the other is already started; the way I write now I often 

find myself working on three, four things at the same time.” (1801). 

The edition of the piano sonatas was scheduled to be completed 

by 2020, the year of Beethoven’s 250 th anniversary. This was a 

timeline that kept all of us – the editor, proofreader, engraver, 

production and me – on our toes. The Beethoven anniversary was 

our incentive and constituted a great challenge for us as a music 

publisher. We made it and it is with pride and joy that we now 

present you with our new edition. 

Join us as we look forward to one of the most important music 

anniversaries of our time. There will be no shortage of outstanding 

performances of Beethoven’s works, of special events, and festive 

celebrations – making a choice might not be easy at times. 

But when it comes to selecting your music editions, the choice is 

simple: For Beethoven, use Bärenreiter! 

For our music dealers, we have many promotional materials and gifts 

for you to make a wonderful display of Beethoven and Bärenreiter 

Urtext in your shop. Please see pages 50–51 of this New Publications 

Bulletin for all the details. Our newsletter will keep you updated 

about current dealer promotions. And don’t miss our film “Searching 

for the True Beethoven. Bärenreiter Urtext Editions”. 

Look forward to the Beethoven Anniversary Year!

Beethoven: A limited edition 

with a special price 

from: Sonata quasi una Fantasia op. 27 no. 1, movt. 3 · BA 10853 

Our original edition of the Piano Sonatas op. 27 which includes the 

famous “Moonlight Sonata” (BA 10853, € 11.95) has now been made 

available for the Beethoven Anniversary Year 2020 in a limited print 

run with a special price of only € 3.00. 

At the dawn of the 19 th century Beethoven struck out on new paths 

with his two opus 27 sonatas, each of which he called a “sonata quasi 

una fantasia”. Both of them, in particular the second sonata later, 

nicknamed the “Moonlight Sonata”, were destined for immortality. 

Why present a new Urtext edition of Beethoven’s piano sonatas? 

The answer lies in the uncompromisingly precise editorial work of 

Jonathan Del Mar. This Urtext edition of the two Sonatas op. 27 offers 

a musical text that meets the highest scholarly demands as well as 

the practical needs of performers. Along with a correction in the third 

movement of op. 27 no. 1 (the 1 st eighth note in the right hand is a C, 

not a C-flat as noted in other Urtext editions and even corrected as 

such in Brahms’ personal copy), the musical text is presented in a 

reader-friendly layout with practical page turns. The detailed 

Critical Commentary offers information and explanations regarding 

alternative readings and all editorial decisions.

Eminent pianists on this edition: 

“Jonathan Del Mar’s Beethoven edition is 

unparalleled in terms of its precision. What I 

value most about it is the use of lesser-known or 

previously unknown sources, the commentary, 

which is the most extensive to date, and the 

discussion of problematic sections. 

I wholeheartedly recommend this new edition 

of Beethoven piano sonatas.” 

(Paul Badura-Skoda) 

“An edition such as this Bärenreiter Urtext 

edition is important in that it lets me work with 

"only" the core, the original foundation that the 

composer – in this case Beethoven – provided 

me with as working material. In its pure form, 

this is of course a gift, but it is also only the 

beginning.” (Igor Levit)

from: Variations on a Given Theme · BA 9656 

Beethoven’s “Diabelli Variations”, written between 1819 and 1823, 

mark the pinnacle of his œuvre 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.

Volume III of Schubert’s Piano Sonatas includes the tuneful, dance-like 

Sonata in G major D 894 (1827), sometimes called the “Fantasie” sonata, 

as well as the three great sonatas in C minor, A major and B-flat major 

(D 958, 959 and 960), which were conceived as a triptych and constitute 

the composer’s greatest contribution to the piano sonata genre. 

The works pay homage to the three late sonatas of Beethoven. 

This scholarly-critical Urtext edition is based on the definitive musical 

text of the “New Schubert Edition” and presents the works in a 

spacious new engraving with practical page turns. It includes an 

informative Foreword and detailed notes (Ger/Eng) on central 

performance practice issues such as the use of pedals and Schubert’s 

distinctive manner of notating accents. It is rounded off by a 

Critical Commentary (Eng) with performance-related alternative 

readings. Schubert’s drafts for individual sonata movements can be

The Piano Sonata in B minor op. 58 constitutes Chopin’s third and 

most significant contribution to the genre. An entirely new evaluation 

of the sources by the editor resulted in a revised reading of the work. 

This edition is based on the French first edition, a version to which 

Chopin added corrections until and even beyond the time of printing. 

Some of the most important variants can be found in the first 

movement (such as in m. 96), but also in the Largo and the Finale. 

A Foreword (Ger/Eng) addressing the complex source situation and 

notes on performance practice by Paul Badura-Skoda, a pioneer of the 

historically-informed style of playing, provide extensive information 

for the study of this newly edited work, presented here in an elegant 

engraving with practical page turns. The Critical Commentary (Eng) 

extensively documents readings and all editorial decisions. Chopin’s 

original fingering is supplemented by fingering by the editor.

Already published, not announced 

in previous New Publications Bulletin 

Beethoven often incorporated musical influences from other 

countries in his works. Jean Kleeb has picked up on this idea and 

developed it further in these arrangements for piano solo. In his 

tributes to Beethoven he emphasizes ethnic attributes such as 

“alla turca” or he coaxes exotic rhythms out of certain works with 

playful exaggeration. At other times, he simply enjoys demonstrating 

the stark differences between the “classical” piano piece and world 

music. 

Enjoy pieces in samba style, with Cuban rhythms or jazzy-Arabic-like 

scales. These pieces are fun to play, making Jean Kleeb’s “Beethoven 

Around the World” a true musical pleasure. 

• Can be performed individually or as a complete cycle 

• Inspirational mix of classical/jazz fusion 

• Of intermediate technical difficulty

When it comes to music, Jean Kleeb

Beethoven’s ten sonatas for piano and violin, along with those by 

Mozart, constitute the heart of this classical music genre. Following 

the lead of Mozart’s late sonatas, Beethoven lets the violin part 

become increasingly independent from the piano part.

Not only does Clive Brown’s scholarly critical edition offer a 

meticulously edited text but for the first time it presents a list of 

sources and a Critical Report. Furthermore Brown documents 

a great number of passages where, by today’s standards, the notation 

raises some questions. These passages had previously been 

overlooked in the autograph but their significance is now clarified.

Strings 

from: BA 9014, volume I 

One example can be found in Beethoven’s “Tempo di Minuetto” 

from Sonata op. 30 No. 3, where he uses a notational idiosyncracy 

based on C.P.E. Bach’s “Versuch über die wahre Art das Clavier zu 

spielen” to denote a rest. This musical symbol, which was included in 

the first edition published during Beethoven’s lifetime, has not been

In May of 1802, the “Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung” praised the 

violin sonatas op. 23 and 24 as being “... among the best Beethoven 

has written, which is to say that they are among the best being 

written at all. The composer’s original, fiery and bold spirit … 

becomes more and more apparent now ...” 

The time during which Beethoven composed his “Spring Sonata”, 

which was to become increasingly popular during the course of the 

19 th century, was marked by a frantic surge of compositional 

creativity. “I live only in my notes, and with one work barely finished, 

the other is already started; the way I write now I often find myself 

working on three, four things at the same time.”, he wrote in a letter 

to Wegeler on 29 June 1801. However during this time, Beethoven also 

suffered from the rapid deterioration of his hearing, a fact he was 

still trying to hide and that the enchanting “Spring Sonata” certainly 

does not divulge. 



Strings 

A Violin Sonata 

“come d’un concerto” 


Sonata in A major 

for Pianoforte and Violin 

op. 47 “Kreutzer Sonata” 


An autograph fragment of the Violin Sonata op. 47 is titled, in 

Beethoven’s hand, “Sonata mulattica composta per il mulatto 

Brischdauer, gran pazzo e compositore mulattico” – meaning 

“Mulatto Sonata composed for the mulatto Brischdauer, great 

madman and mulatto composer”. The genesis of the sonata, which 

was to become famous under the name “Kreutzer Sonata”, 

is closely connected to a visit to Vienna by George Augustus Polgreen 

Bridgetower (1778–1860), a violinist with an Afro-Caribbean father 

and a European mother. In the language of that time, his descent 

made him a mulatto. 

Beethoven was apparently deeply impressed by Bridgetower’s 

musicality and virtuosic abilities. However, when the sonata was 

published in 1805, he dedicated it to Rodolphe Kreutzer under the 

title “Sonata per il Pianoforte ed uno violino obligato in uno stile 

molto concertante come d’un concerto”. The work “in the style of a 

concerto” is probably Beethoven’s most demanding violin sonata 

and since the 19 th century has formed part of the core repertoire of 

the great violin virtuosos.

Terezín Composers 

About the new series:

© Music History Department of the 

Moravian Museum in Brno 

Before being deported and murdered, Czech composers 

Pavel Haas, Gideon Klein, Viktor Ullmann, and Hans Krása were 

detained at the Terezín (Theresienstadt) Ghetto. Even there they 

continued to compose music. Although they suffered the same 

tragic fate, their respective creative output was quite unique 

with diverse and colorful compositions. Our new series “Terezín 

Composers” aims to highlight these characteristics and comprises 

selected chamber music works in new Urtext editions. 

Pavel Haas: 

String Quartet No. 2 op. 7 

“Z Ópičích hor” / “From 

the Monkey Mountains” 

With percussion ad libitum 


Edited by Ondřej Pivoda 

Pavel Haas was one of Leoš Janáček’s most gifted students. His String 

Quartet No. 2 “From the Monkey Mountains” is considered to be one 

of the first high points of his œuvre. 

In this work, Haas combined elements of Janáček’s compositional 

technique with jazz, particularly in the fourth movement’s 

instrumentation for string quartet and percussion ad libitum. This 

version was premiered in Brno in 1926; later, the work was revised for 

string quartet only. For this edition Ondřej Pivoda has reconstructed 

the original version, bringing to light passages that were never 

published until now.

Although Beethoven did not live to see the publication of his String 

Quartets op. 130 and op. 133, he oversaw the production process, 

making corrections and putting the works into their final form. 

The String Quartet op. 130 is the longest piece within Beethoven’s 

extensive chamber music œuvre. Originally, the Große Fuge was 

meant to be the final movement of op. 130. Beethoven’s conversation 

books document the separation of the Große Fuge from op. 130, its 

replacement by a new finale and its assignment to a new opus 

number op. 133.

Even by today’s standards, the Große Fuge is a complicated work and

music history to include a helpful addition: rehearsal numbers. These 

were included in the first edition so that during rehearsals musicians 

could find a common entry without having to start the piece afresh.

“Unintelligible, like Chinese”, a contemporary 

Viennese critic remarked on the premiere of 

Ludwig van Beethoven’s Große Fuge op. 133 in 

March 1826. Before Beethoven penned a more 

concise finale, the Große Fuge concluded his String 

Quartet in B-flat major op. 130, a remarkable work 

in every sense of the word and one of the boldest 

of its time. With its six movements, it defies 

traditional form and today, it is regarded as a 

pinnacle among Beethoven’s late string quartets. 

After the composer’s death, the original manuscript 

suffered a strange fate. It was separated into 

movements and distributed to different owners. 

The parts of the autograph strewn across 

libraries in Europe and the United States have 

now been reunited in this facsimile edition for 

the first time in over 190 years. 

The facsimile is rendered in high-quality colour 

printing, reproducing the autograph in such 

detail that Beethoven’s correction process 

where he pasted over previous entries becomes 

evident. Without disturbing the bibliophilic 

overall impression, movement and measure 

numbers have been added to each page to 

facilitate usage. An Introduction by renowned 

musicologist Ulrich Konrad, winner of the 

Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize, elaborates on 

the work’s distinctive features and its history.

hand at playing together with others. In order to allow them to get 

a feel for rhythmic steadiness and playing in tune, the entire first 

volume of the Sassmannshaus violin method has been enhanced by 

a piano accompaniment 

The piano part provides a harmonic background for each piece 

as well as an effective musical support for the young violinist. 

The accompaniment is easy to play and ideal for use by the violin 

teacher or a parent.

Along with Symphonies Nos. 76 and 77 Haydn composed Symphony 

No. 78 for a journey to England that never took place. Nonetheless, 

H. C. Robbins Landon referred to these works as the “English 

Symphonies” as they are stylistically closely linked to “the London 

Bach”, Johann Christian Bach. In a letter Haydn wrote to his Paris 

publisher Charles-Georges Boyer in 1783, he described the works as 

“Leicht und nicht vil Concertirend”, meaning they were light in spirit 

and did not contain extensive solo passages but rather a clear sense 

of classical form. 

Continuing the cooperation between Bärenreiter and the G. Henle 

publishing company regarding Haydn’s large-scale choral works, 

operas, and symphonies, this edition is based on the G. Henle 

Complete Edition of the “Works of Joseph Haydn”. To date, Bärenreiter 

has published the complete performance material for several of 

Haydn’s “Sturm und Drang” symphonies as well as the complete 

London and Paris symphonies.

The first Urtext edition 

of a key orchestral work 

Camille Saint-Saëns: 

Danse macabre 

for Orchestra op. 40 


Edited by Hugh Macdonald 

Saint-Saëns was a great admirer of the symphonic poems by Franz 

Liszt. His own symphonic poem “Danse macabre” reflects not only 

his affinity to medieval superstitions but also constitutes a tribute 

to Liszt’s “Totentanz”. 

“Danse macabre” is based on the eponymous song Saint-Saëns 

composed in 1872 after Henri Cazalis’ poem. At its premiere, the work 

was not well-received; in fact it was booed, possibly due to the “diabolic” 

solo violin playing on an E-string that was tuned down to E-flat, which 

the audience might have misinterpreted as being out of tune. 

However within ten years the work had become so popular that 

Saint-Saëns quoted some of its musical themes in “The Carnival of the 

Animals”. Since the composer’s death, “Danse macabre” is among the 

works most often mentioned in connection with the theatrical face 

of death found in popular mortuary cult.

☞ BA 8527 · approx. € 4.95 

Mårten Jansson is internationally known, particularly for his masses; 

the Missa brevis in E-flat minor and the Missa Popularis are regularly 

performed in concert programmes. 


Minimum order quantity: 10 copies 

The new Missa Brevis Arosiensis is stylistically connected with these 

masses. Due to its moderate technical difficulty, manageable length 

and overall positive mood, it can be tackled even by amateur choirs. 

The mass was commissioned for the Mariakören, the choir of the 

Västerås cathedral, Sweden. The title Arosiensis refers to this city.

Opera / Vocal Scores 

Important vocal scores 

available again in 

hardcover 

Mozart’s “Don Giovanni” is now available again in hardcover. 

Due to numerous customer requests, Bärenreiter will be successively 

offering vocal scores to major Mozart operas in hardback editions 

again. This means you now have the choice: perhaps you prefer a 

lower-priced and slightly lighter soft-cover edition with excellent 

lay-flat characteristics or you feel that sturdier hardcover editions 

of important repertoire works are more likely to survive the rigours 

of a musician’s life.

Thérèse 

Chamber opera 

Libretto by Otto Katzameier 

inspired by the novel “Thérèse Raquin” by Émile Zola 

BA 11168-72 

Émile Zola’s novel “Thérèse Raquin” tells the story of 

a violent crime, of madness, and of self-destruction. 

Philipp Maintz chose the subject of the husbandmurdering 

heroine for his second stage work 

“Thérèse”. The chamber opera calls for two female 

and two male singers as well as 11 instrumentalists. 

The libretto by Otto Katzameier narrates the action 

in an unusual, almost cinematic manner, for which 

Philipp Maintz composed an animated, highly 

effective music that appeals to the listener on a 

very immediate level. 

The work was premiered on 14 April 2019 at the 

Salzburg Easter Festival.
