A must-have for any conductor, conducting student and orchestral
librarian. How does a conductor know whether the score they use is
what the composer wrote? How do orchestral players know that their
parts are reliable and reflect the latest scholarship? As Jonathan
Del Mar reminds us in this ground-breaking book, editions of the
orchestral repertoire are beset by textual problems: simple
misprints, mistakes in the score or player's part, or hopelessly
outdated scores at odds with current scholarship. Driven by a
fundamental respect for what the composer actually wrote, Jonathan
Del Mar addresses these problems through textual reports on over
100 orchestral masterpieces of classical music. Each report is
introduced with essential guidance and succinct commentary on the
first performance and publication of the work. Critical editions
are compared with commonly used editions, and in those cases where
no Urtext Edition exists, this much-needed reference work functions
as a replacement for an Urtext Edition. Orchestral Masterpieces
under the Microscope will be an indispensable reference tool for
all who care about performances honouring the correct text that
composers have left us. It serves as an essential survival guide
for conductors and musicians to make informed choices, and it
offers much-needed clarity on the latest scholarship for
musicologists and music librarians alike
