Description
Throughout his composing career, Dotzauer experimented with a plethora of chamber music settings: from the most basic solo instrument with piano accompaniment to the string quartet (25 exemplars), from solo woodwind with string trio to quartet with two cellos and several vocal settings. One piece, though, was missing to make his puzzle complete: a chamber piece where the piano would've been the main actor. Dotzauer eventually completed his quest with the last chamber piece he would ever write, in 1851 (aged 68): a majestic Trio for piano, violin, and cello (Op. 180). This monumental, 32-minute-long piece in four movements, is dedicated to his elder son Bernhard (1808-74), piano virtuoso and chamber music teacher in Hamburg from 1835. Dotzauer's passion for counterpoint that traverses all his production can be found here as well, especially in the Finale whose theme is based on a fugue. The third movement, then, shows a usage of harmony whose chromaticism predates much more blazoned composers by about 25 years. This should come as no surprise, though: Dotzauer was first solo cello in the Dresden Court Opera where both Wagner's Rienzi and The Flying Dutchman were premiered (1841-2). His curiosity and talent for writing did the rest. This edition represents the first modern publication of the Trio, and includes a detailed introduction and analysis alongside Critical Notes that list all editorial choices. The separate string parts include the original bowing and fingering suggestions by Dotzauer.
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.
Digital Download
Digital, PDF version of the score.
