Brings new insights to the music of well-known European composers
by telling a fascinating, little-known story about French music
publishing, specifically through the lens of Jacques Durand's
Édition Classique. French composers, performers and musicologists
acted as editors of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century European
'classics', primarily for piano. Among these editors were Fauré,
Saint-Saëns, Debussy, Ravel and Dukas; the objects of their
enquiries included core works by Rameau, Bach, Mozart, Beethoven,
Mendelssohn, Schumann and Chopin. Presenting six composer-editor
case studies, the volume shows that the French 'accent', both
musical and cultural, upon this predominantly Austro-German music
was highly varied. Editorial responses range from scholarly
approaches to those directed by performance or compositional
agendas, and from pan-European to strongly patriotic stances.
Intriguing intersections are revealed between old and new, and
between French and cross-European canons. Beyond editing, the book
explores the Édition's role in pedagogy and performance, including
by pianists Robert Casadesus and Yvonne Loriod, and in the
reassertion of contemporary French composition, especially
regarding innovation around neoclassicism. It will interest a wide
readership, including musicologists, performers and concert-goers,
cultural historians and other humanities scholars.
