Bach, Complete Variations For Cello/Piano (Barenreiter)
A fresh scholarly approach to Beethoven’s complete cello variations, this Bärenreiter Urtext Edition brings together all three sets inspired by famous themes from Handel’s Judas Maccabaeus and Mozart’s The Magic Flute. Particular attention has been given to correcting the rhythmic notation in the cello part, resolving inaccuracies that had persisted through earlier editions. Since Beethoven’s autograph manuscript of Op. 66 has been lost, the accompanying English critical commentary includes a complete facsimile of the cello part from the surviving first edition, giving performers valuable insight into the editorial process.
