Janacek: Complete Critical Edition  

Leos Janacek
1854-1924


Complete Critical Edition of the Works of Leos Janacek




Over the years Janaceks œuvre has increasingly received the recognition it so richly merits, and performances of his works are becoming more and more frequent. This development is, however, offset by a manuscript tradition so disorderly that some of Janaceks works continue, as before, to be played in versions which are heavily adapted, corrupt, or otherwise contrary to the composer's intentions. Thus, a critical edition of Janacek's music is indispensable for scholars and performers alike.
This editon presents, for each work, an authentic printed text based on all available sources. In addition to the musical text, each volume also contains a critical report, a rendition of deleted or rejected versions, and a comprehensive appendix of facsimiles.
  The complete critical edition is divided into the following series:

A: Stage Works (11 volumes)
B: Cantatas (8 volumes)
C: Choruses (6 volumes)
D: Orchestral Works (10 volumes)
E: Chamber Music (7 volumes)
F: Compositions for Solo Instruments (2 volumes)
G: Adaptions of Folk Tunes and Dances (3 volumes)
H: Study Works, Arrangements, Fragments and Miscellaneous (6 volumes)
Available on complete or partial subscription.
