Mahler: Symphony No. 4

Description

This new edition of Mahler's great 4th symphony takes us to a point where the numerous stages of reworking and countless reading errors, misunderstandings, further printing errors and contradictions missed by Mahler himself, in addition to the final version of the score, have been considered and evaluated. The new, computer-based score generation required several rounds of precise proofreading; all editorial decisions are outlined transparently in an extensive critical commentary. A preface on its genesis, performance history and printing, and notes on performance practice, facsimile reproductions and an English glossary complete this entirely bilingual edition.
