Description
"An immense work, meticulous, detailed with the greatest skill. in short, a musicological edition of reference in which I am happy and proud to have participated." Marie-Louise Langlais
"The result is spectacular…an editor from the cold invited himself into the big leagues with a landmark realisation…Pater seraphicus can be satisfied." Alain Pâris (La Lettre du Musicien)
"This edition is a vade mecum, which will undoubtedly be an essential reference for a long time. "James Lipka (Nineteenth-Century Music Review)
The music of César Franck is revered by musicians the world over. for organists, he holds a significant place in history as one of the founding fathers of the French Romantic organ tradition. First published during the bicentennial year of his birth, Franck's journey from unsettled pianist to master craftsman at the organ and harmonium is presented in a new light. The objective of this chronologically ordered edition spanning the three different periods of his life combines as many elements as possible from the study of available autograph manuscripts, first editions and letters in the hope of contributing to a more holistic evaluation, in practical terms, of his output for organ and harmonium.

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.
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.
