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, pedagogue, and father of the Dresden Cello School. Armed only with his enthusiasm and this foundational training, a young Schuberth set out to conquer the European stages in 1833. in early 1836, following a highly acclaimed concert in Saint Petersburg, he was appointed solo cellist for both the Court Orchestra and the Imperial Theater. This milestone launched a long and illustrious career in Russia, where Schuberth flourished over the next 27 years as a soloist, quartet player, teacher, conductor, and composer.
First published in 1840, his Nocturne pour Deux Violoncelles avec accompagnement de Pianoforte, Op. 6, became an immense success story. The work's popularity ultimately spawned no fewer than three different versions involving the cello, alongside successive adaptations for violin, viola, and flute—some published even after his passing.
This edition proudly marks the first modern publication of this piece in its original iteration for two cellos and piano. The set includes the full score and two individual solo parts, each provided in both a clean and an annotated format to facilitate a seamless performance. Rich editorial notes preface the score, offering an in-depth analysis of the work, while comprehensive Critical Endnotes provide complete transparency into the choices made during the reconstruction of this historic 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.
Digital Download
Digital, PDF version of the score.
