Johannes Brahms’s violin concerto, written for his friend Joseph Joachim, has remained a standard in the concert literature since its first performance. No scholarly critical edition of this work has ever been published and therefore the many, sometimes conflicting, sources have never been evaluated for a critical performing edition. Not only Brahms’s autograph score, solo part and autograph piano reduction but also his personal copies of the first edition score as well as the first edition orchestral parts have all been consulted. Clive Brown’s edition offers insights into the genesis of the composition and the working relationship between Brahms and Joachim. The critical commentary comments on all discrepancies in the sources and is available separately.
The critical edition of Brahms’s own piano reduction is at the same time a performing edition and includes an informative introduction as well as comments on performance practice.
In addition the piano reduction includes a separate brochure with not only the well known Joachim cadenza but also those by J. Halir, H. Heermann, L. Auer and F. Busoni.
An informative preface (Ger / Eng) with references to performance practice is included in the edition.
– First scholarly critical edition of this standard work
– Insightful comments on performance practice
– An Urtext violin part and an additional violin part marked with fingering and bowing suggestions by Joseph Joachim
– Valuable cadenza brochure with cadenzas by Joachim, Halir, Heermann, Auer and Busoni

* After Joachim’s revised edition of 1905

Beethoven’s Concerto for Violin and Orchestra is one of the most famous works in the history of music. Over the last 150 years it has been published in numerous editions and up to now, none of these really does justice to the work.
After detailed study of all sources this new edition, prepared by the outstanding Beethoven scholar Jonathan Del Mar, now presents Beethoven’s original slurring and articulation in the solo violin part, together with over 100 corrections in the orchestral parts.
The musical text has been freed of additions made over the decades by various editors and violinists.
The significance of Beethoven’s solo and tutti markings has also been clarified for the first time.
The pioneering critical new edition will prove indispensible for all violinists as well as for orchestras and music libraries.
