Description
Carl Eduard Schuberth (Magdeburg, 1811 – Zurich, 1863) is considered one of the most talented students of Justus Johann Friedrich Dotzauer (1783–1860), the eminent German cellist and pedagogue, father of the Dresden Cello School. in 1833, the young Carl set out to conquer the European stages with only this solid training and his enthusiasm. At the beginning of 1836, following a particularly notable concert in Saint Petersburg, he was appointed 'concert cellist' at the Court Orchestra and at the Imperial Theater. This is how his long and successful career in Russia began. During the following 27 years, Schuberth fulfilled his duties as soloist, quartet player, teacher, conductor, and composer. His, Op. 3, composed around 1829 but first published in 1836, titled "Souvenir de la Hollande | Fantasie et Variations brillantes | sur un Thême national hollandais | pour le | Violoncelle | avec | Accompagnement de l'Orchestre | ou de Pianoforte." is inspired by an old popular song titled, in Dutch language, "Wien Neêrlandsch bloed in de aders vloeit" (Whose Dutch blood flows in the veins), composed by the Dutch-German composer Johann Wilhelm Wilms (1772–1847) on text by Hendrik Tollens (1780–1856). It served as the national anthem of the Kingdom of the Netherlands from its foundation in 1815 until 1932. This edition is the first modern publication of this virtuoso piece, remained forgotten for almost 200 years. It is available in three versions, for cello and piano, with orchestral accompaniment, and with strings accompaniment only. Rich editorial notes preface the score with an in-depth analysis of the piece, while Critical endnotes allow a complete understanding of the choices made during the reconstruction of the piece.
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.
