CONTENTS             
Beethoven said of Handel that he of all composers knew best how to achieve grand effects with simple means. Those magnificent moments are nowhere more evident than in Handel’s great oratorios, perennial favorites with audiences and musicians alike. Grove’s Dictionary of Music and Musicians says of Handel: “. . . in oratorio he brought the level of artistry to a higher plane than his contemporaries.”
Judas Maccabaeus was first performed in London at Covent Garden in 1747 and was an instant success. The subject of the oratorio ― the triumph of the Jewish warrior-hero Judas Maccabaeus over the invading enemies of the Israelites ― was deliberately chosen to appeal to the patriotic sympathies of eighteenth-century Londoners immediately after the crushing of the Jacobite rebellion in April 1746.
Although political overtones had some role in the oratorio’s initial success, it is the beauty, dramatic power, and brilliant originality of the arias, duets, and choruses that have kept this work constantly in the active repertoire. This is religious music on a grand scale in a work that has greatly influenced major choral music into the twentieth century. Now all music lovers can enjoy the full score of this splendid masterwork, reprinted here in an authoritative, inexpensive edition.

Composer / Author: Max Bruch
CONTENTS
The First Violin Concerto in G Minor is one of German composer Max Bruch’s most enduring works, filled with exuberant melody and colorful orchestration, richly displaying the virtuoso role of the violin solo. First performed in Bremen in 1868, this brilliant work remains today one of the most performed and recorded concertos in the violin repertoire.
Bruch’s life-long interest in folk music is reflected in his Scottish Fantasy, a charming and vigorous work for violin and orchestra, first performed in Berlin in 1880. The composer was especially proud to have gathered his folk themes not from books but from his own travels throughout Britain. The full orchestral score of the Scottish Fantasy is reprinted here, along with the full score of the First Violin Concerto, from authoritative German editions.

Composer / Author: Johann Sebastian Bach
CONTENTS
Among the many great works created for the church liturgy by Johann Sebastian Bach, the Magnificat in D is one of the most universally loved and studied. It is thought that Bach originally composed it for Christmas 1723, soon after arriving in Leipzig to take up his musical duties at the Thomasschule, then later revised it.
Bach scored the Latin text of the Magnificat for the soloists, five-part chorus, and an orchestra of two flutes, two oboes, three trumpets, timpani, strings, and basso continuo. Powerful, compact, and deeply moving, this ardent hymn of praise is today one of the most frequently performed of all masterworks of devotional music.
In addition to the Magnificat, this volume contains all six Bach motets. Most of these stirring contrapuntal works, generally sung a cappella, were created, like the Magnificat, during the composer’s earliest years in Leipzig. The motets were composed for special occasions, probably for memorial services of prominent Leipzig citizens.
The motets are “Singet dem Herr nein neues Lied,” “Der Geist hilft unsrer Schwachheit auf,” “Jesu, meine Freude,” “Fürchte dich nicht, ich bin bei dir,” Komm, Jesu, komm!” and “Lobet den Herrn, alle Heiden.” Along with the Magnificat in D, they have been reprinted here from the authoritative Bach-Gesellschaft edition published by Breitkopt & Härtel of Leipzig.

Composer / Author: Ludwig van Beethoven
CONTENTS
The five Beethoven piano concertos have long been staples of the pianist’s repertoire and are perennial favorites of concert audiences. Here in one convenient volume are all five, reproduced directly from the authoritative Breitkopf and Härtel edition, including most of the composer’s own cadenzas.
These concertos reveal the steady development of Beethoven’s mastery of pianistic and orchestral resources through his early and middle periods. The first two, No. 1 in C Major, Op. 15 (1795), and No. 2 in B-flat Major, Op. 19 (before 1793), reflect the youthful exuberance of Beethoven’s earlier style. No. 3 in C Minor, Op. 37 (1800), is “one of the most successful embodiments of Beethoven’s “C Minor mood'” (New Grove Dictionary) and No. 4 in G Major, Op. 58 (1805–1806), is considered a milestone in concerto development. No. 5 in E-flat Major, Op. 73 (“Emperor,” 1809), clearly illustrates Beethoven’s further innovations in concerto structure.
Pianists, musicians, conductors, and students seeking to learn more about Beethoven’s impact on musical history, and lovers of music in general, will appreciate having these concertos in one handy, inexpensive edition.

Composer / Author: Edvard Grieg
CONTENTS             
In 1874 Henrik Ibsen invited Edvard Grieg to compose incidental music for a staged version of his Norwegian verse drama Peer Gynt. The result of this collaboration between Norway’s greatest dramatist and its greatest composer was a set of pieces that have become among the best known and most loved of the late nineteenth century.
Grieg’s complete incidental score to Peer Gynt comprises 22 pieces: it is the two orchestral suites arranged from eight of these pieces that have become staples of the repertoire, with innumerable performances and dozens of recordings. This inexpensive, authoritative edition contains both suites complete, including such concert-hall favorites as “Morning Mood,” “Anitra’s Dance,” and “In the Hall of the Mountain King.”
Musicians and music lovers will appreciate having these favorite scores in one handy volume, and students and scholars will want to have them on hand for the study of Grieg’s melodic and harmonic style and orchestration, as well as for their influence on a wide range of composers, from Debussy to Sibelius.

Composer / Author: Alexander Borodin
CONTENTS
It was said of Russian composer Alexander Borodin (1833–87) that “no musician has ever claimed immortality with so slender an offering.” His lifelong work as a graduate research chemist and teacher preoccupied him, leaving little time for the music composing that he loved. But while the quantity of Borodin’s compositions was small, the quality of his music was extraordinarily high. Such works as his opera Prince Igor, his first two symphonies, two string quartets, and songs place him firmly in the front rank of nineteenth-century Russian composers. This volume brings together Borodin’s two most popular works: the melodious, vivacious “Polovtsian Dances” from Prince Igor and the richly evocative tone poem “In the Steppes of Central Asia.”
The enormous success of these works is evidenced by their frequent performance in concerts worldwide and their many recordings. This attractive, durable, authoritative edition brings the full score of each composition to students, musicians, conductors, and music lovers everywhere.

Composer / Author: Joseph Haydn
CONTENTS                     
Over a 50-year period, Haydn composed more than 80 string quartets featuring a range and variety of structural invention exceeded only by Beethoven’s works. In this volume, the composer’s mastery of the form is strikingly evident, particularly in the six popular and much-recorded “Prussian Quartets.”
This volume contains the full scores of:
Op. 42, in D minor (composed in 1785)
Op. 50, Nos. 1–6 (“Prussian Quartets,” composed in 1787 and dedicated to the Prussian King Friederich Wilhelm II)
Op. 54, Nos. 1–3 (First set of “Tost Quartets” composed c.1788 and dedicated to the merchant Johann Tost)
Large, readable noteheads, ample margins for notations, opaque paper and permanent binding make this a fundamental addition to music libraries and musicians’ repertories.

“It was from Haydn that I first learned the true way to compose quartets.” — Mozart.
Twelve String Quartets marks the second volume in a projected monumental undertaking — the complete Haydn string quartets. Players and students, music historians, and Haydn lovers will have inexpensive access to a uniform, strongly bound, and clearly printed modern edition of Haydn’s finest pieces in complete score.
Musicians, music students, and music publishers have a difficult time keeping up with Haydn, whose ceaseless production of original, first-rate work was legendary. He essayed most of the recognized genres, conferring upon several a legacy of expanded possibilities and clearly defined, characteristic form. Among these may be mentioned the symphony, the sonata, and perhaps most notably, the quartet.
In a period of 50 years, Haydn (1732–1809) composed over 80 string quartets. Scholars are still debating questions of attribution and even completeness (unknown works by Haydn still turn up), and music lovers have had to make do with scattered, out-of-date, out-of- print editions of a few of the more familiar quartets.
Otto Jahn wrote: “It is not often that a composer hits so exactly upon the form suited to his compositions; the quartet was Haydn’s natural mode of expressing his feelings.” Haydn’s affinity to the quartet began with his earliest works, when he perhaps more than anyone established the four-movement structure of chamber music. In common with truly great and complete artists, who surpass early innovation to achieve their greatest work at the end, Haydn’s later quartets are his best.
This volume contains the full scores of:
Op. 55, Nos. 1–3 (including “Razor”) — dedicated to Joh. Tost, ca. 1788
Op. 65, Nos. 1–6 (including “The Lark” or “Hornpipe”) — dedicated to Joh. Tost, 1790 or 1792
Op. 71, Nos. 1–3 — dedicated to Count Appony, 1793
Large readable noteheads, ample margins for fingerings, etc., opaque paper, and permanent binding make this a fundamental addition to music libraries and musicians’ repertories: a book for all who pay tribute to Haydn and who agree with Grove’s Dictionary: “The quartet he … brought to perfection.”
