Lübeck, Vincent: New Edition of the Complete Organ and Keyboard Works 1
playing score
A number of unknown compositions whose sources have previously been overlooked appear here for the first time in print. Special attention has been given to the manuscript S.M.G 1691, previously thought to be lost. Besides five works by Lübeck the Elder, it also contains the only known compositions of his like-named son (1684-1755) as well as 38 clavier pieces and 22 chorale settings, all of which derive from Lübeck's circles in Hamburg and are published in the app endices to the two volumes. Our edition is rigorously based on the surviving source materials.
Each volume contains a critical report and a detailed preface with sections on the sources, ornamentation, editorial technique and performance practice. Rounding off this scholarly-critical performance edition are a number of facsimiles.
- First complete scholarly-critical edition of the surviving organ works of Lübeck pere and fils
- Recently rediscovered sources taken into account (S.M.G. 1691)
- Critical report, informative preface (English/German), facsimiles
In the autumn of 1923, a young man produced the first music editions of his newly founded publishing house in his parents’ living room. He named his company Bärenreiter. In the spring of 1924 when Karl Vötterle came of age, he was able to register it with the German Publishers and Booksellers Association. At first, he mainly put out folk song collections, church as well as organ music including early music by Leonhard Lechner and Heinrich Schütz, at the time primarily known in specialist circles.
During the last months of the Second World War, the publishing house in Kassel was destroyed and once more a fresh beginning had to be made. With the start of the extensive German music encyclopaedia MGG – "Musik in Geschichte und Gegenwart" – as well as numerous series of scholarly-critical complete editions such as the “New Mozart Edition” and the “New Bach Edition”, the visionary founder of the publisher created the basis for the further development of Bärenreiter. The musicological editions increasingly aroused interest abroad, and Bärenreiter found itself on an expansion course.
When Karl Votterle died in 1975, his daughter Barbara took over the helm, supported by her husband Leonhard Scheuch. Under their leadership, the catalogue grew significantly and the brand BÄRENREITER URTEXT was established. Finally, in 2003, their son Clemens Scheuch joined the publisher which today he is managing together with his parents. Thus Bärenreiter has remained a family business to this day and has become a company of international standing in the world of classical music.
