Niels Wilhelm Gade1817-1890 Works Edited by the Foundation for the Publication of the Works of Niels W. Gade, Copenhagen |

Niels W. Gade is one of the leading Danish composers of the nineteenth century. Of his prolific œuvre, however, only about half has appeared in print. Given this fact and the
growing interest in Gade in our time, there is an urgent need for a critical edition of his music in Urtext editions designed for scholars and performers alike. This edition will contain all of Gade's completed compositions and seperate movements as well als the arrangements he made of his own works and those of other composers. The main text generally presents the »definitive« version based on Gade's personal copy of the printed work. However, all the remaining sources have also been consulted for purposes of comparison. Every editorial decision is mentioned and justified in the critical report (English). |
The complete edition is divided into seven series:
