The Publication Schedule
Producing a critical edition of Rossini’s music is complex. The operas often issued from his pen in multiple versions, all of which need to be made available. Sources for his non-operatic music, spread all over the world, must be identified, catalogued, and evaluated if we are to edit his music in a way that will serve the needs of both scholars and performers.
Bärenreiter will issue practical editions derived from these critical editions wherever appropriate, including vocal scores and performance materials based on the new editions for operas and sacred music.
Discussions are under way concerning the continuation of the series for a second group of ten volumes.
