Description
When Richard Wagner arrived in Paris in September 1839, he had grand plans: Paris was to help him achieve his international breakthrough as an opera composer. in his luggage he carried his comic opera Das Liebesverbot oder: Die Novize von Palermo and the as yet unfinished score of his tragic opera Rienzi, der Letzte der Tribunen. He hoped to stage them at one of the Parisian opera houses, or even better - to be commissioned to compose a new opera. But these hopes proved all too soon to be illusions. Even the support of Giacomo Meyerbeer, who wielded great influence in Parisian musical life, was not enough. Wagner therefore found himself forced to earn a living by other means.
Wagner arranged the operas La Favorite by Gaetano Donizetti, Le Guitarrero and La Reine de Chypre by Fromenthal Halévy, as well as Zanetta ou Jouer avec le feu by Daniel François Esprit Auber, and the original two-hand version of Grande fantaisie sur la Romanesca, Op. 111, by Henri Herz for piano four hands. The opera arrangements consisted, as was customary at the time, of piano reductions for two and four hands and those without text, of individual pieces, known as 'Morceaux détachés', as well as versions for quartet (string quartet or flute and string trio), for two violins and for cornet à pistons. Some of these, such as the latter, have not survived. Nor is it definitively established how many arrangements Wagner actually produced. Some appeared in print without the arranger's name being mentioned, and furthermore, a certain Paul Wagner was also working in Paris at the time alongside Richard Wagner, so that the name Wagner on the title page alone is not sufficient to attribute an arrangement to Richard Wagner. However, the arrangements presented here - the musical text based on the complete edition - were certainly produced by Richard Wagner, as relevant documents attest.
Publishers use a lot of words to describe what they sell, and we know it can be confusing. We've tried to be as clear as possible to make sure you get exactly what you are looking for. Below are descriptions of the terms that we use to describe the various formats that music often comes in.
Choral Score
A score for vocalists that only contains the vocal lines. The instrumental parts are not there for reference. Generally, cheaper than a vocal score and requires multiple copies for purchase.
Digital Download
Digital, PDF version of the score.
Facsimile
Reproductions of the original hand-written scores from the composer.
Full Score
For ensemble music, this indicates that the edition contains all parts on a single system (there are not separate parts for each player). In larger ensembles, this is for the conductor.
Hardcover
Hardbound. Generally either linen-covered or half-leather.
Orchestral Parts
Similar to a wind set, this is a collection of parts. In the case of strings, the numbers listed are the number of copies included, though generally these are available individually (often with minimum quantities required).
Paperback
When publishers offer multiple bindings (e.g. hardcover) or study scores, this is the "standard" version. If you're planning to play the music, this is probably what you want.
Performance / Playing Score
A score of the music containing all parts on one system, intended for players to share. There are not separate parts for each player.
Set of Parts
For ensemble music, this indicates that there are separate individual parts for each player.
Solo Part with Piano Reduction
For solo pieces with orchestra, this is a version that contains a piano reduction of the orchestra parts. For piano pieces, two copies are typically needed for performance.
Study Score
A small (think choral size) copy of the complete score meant for studying, and not playing. They make great add-ons when learning concertos and small chamber works.
Vocal Score
A score prepared for vocalists that includes the piano/organ part or a reduction of the instrumental parts.
Wind Set
For orchestral music, this is a collection of wind and percussion parts. The specific quantities of each instrument are notated.
With Audio
In addition to the printed music, the edition contains recordings of the pieces. This may be an included CD, or access to files on the internet.
With / Without Fingering (Markings)
Some publishers prepare two copies - a pure Urtext edition that includes no fingering (or bowing) suggestions and a lightly edited version that includes a minimal number of editorial markings.
