Description
Trio No. 1 for Violin, Cello and Piano., Op. 8. Trio No. 2 for Violin, Cello and Piano., Op. 67. Score and parts. Edited by Olga Kuzina. Editor-in-Chief Manashir Iakubov. Explanatory article by Manashir Iakubov.
Dedicated to Tatyana Ivanovna Glivenko Trio No. 1 for Violin, Cello and Piano., Op. 8.
The author's manuscript of the score of Trio No. 1, Op. 8 has not survived in full, the pages containing bars 257-278 are missing. What is more, the following author's documents have survived: rough score, containing the first 130 bars of the work; a version of the violin part, in which pages containing bars 162-252 are missing; the second, full version of the violin part; and the cello part.
For the first edition of Trio (D. Shostakovich, Collected Works - Volume 37, Muzyka Publishers, Moscow, 1983), composer Boris Ivanovich Tishchenko finished writing the missing bars of the piano part and edited the score as a whole. in so doing, the bowings and dynamic inflections missing in author's manuscript were introduced into the score of the author's manuscripts of the violin and cello parts. The discrepancies between author's manuscript and the string parts are reflected either in the score in the form of different versions of the bowings, or in the comments.
Some unclear places in author's manuscript were clarified with the help of rough score. All the versions and additions proposed by the editor (Boris Tishchenko) are enclosed in square brackets. Obvious slips of the pen and other errors in author's manuscript have been corrected without additional explanation.
This publication adheres to the text of the first edition. Boris Tishchenko's notes are also used in the comments (Collected Works - Volume 37, pp. 210-211).
In Memory of Ivan Ivanovich Sollertinsky Trio No. 2 for Violin, Cello and Piano., Op. 67.
Trio No. 2, Op. 67 was published for the first time by the Muzgiz Publishers in 1945. At the same time, VOKS (All-Union Society of Cultural Ties) printed it from the same moulds. It was republished several times. in Volume 37 of Shostakovich's Collected Works (Muzyka Publishers, Moscow,1983), Trio was published under the editorship of D. Tsyganov, who made several changes and additions to the edition, which were incorporated into the V-no and V-c. parts, with the composer's consent, during the rehearsals and joint performances of Trio, beginning with its premiere. But Shostakovich did not incorporate these changes and clarifications either into the author's manuscript of the score, or into the first edition of Trio, or into the subsequent lifetime editions, obviously considering them to be an individual performance version of this particular cast of musicians.
In the meantime, the composer made changes to the author's manuscript, in particular in black ink (Indian ink), even after the 1945 edition was published. We know this because the changes in black ink are not reflected in this edition, but can be found in later publications.
This publication is based on the author's manuscript of the score (RSALA, rec. gr. 2048, inv. 1, f. 28). The lifetime 1945, 1962, and 1968 editions, in which the author participated, the 1983 edition mentioned above, and a copy of the 1962 edition of Trio (Sovetsky kompozitor Publishers, Moscow) with the composer's own corrections, kept in Dmitri Shostakovich's Archives, are also taken into account.
Works:
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.
