CONTENTS
Along with Bach’s Brandenburg Concerti, Handel’s twelve Concerti Grossi, Op. 6, are the crowning achievement of the Baroque concerto. Endlessly inventive in structure, rhythm, phrasing, and color, they range in mood from solemn and tragic, through expansive and serene, to lighthearted, jocular, and playful. For over two centuries they have been a mainstay of the concerto repertoire.
This volume reproduces the full scores of all twelve of these masterworks, together with the six Concerti Grossi, Op. 3, and the C-Major “Alexander’s Feast” Concerto Grosso — nineteen in all — exactly as they appear in the authoritative Deutsche Händelgesellschaft edition.
These full orchestral scores are not abridged. This is the only moderately priced, large-format edition of Handel’s complete Concerti Grossi currently available. Printed on opaque paper and bound so that the pages will lie flat and not fall out, it makes an invaluable and durable reference, study guide, and listener’s companion.
Dover (1981) republication of all 19 Concerti Grossi from volumes 21 and 30 of Georg Friedrich Händels Werke as originally published in 1865 and 1869 by the Deutsche Händelgesellschaft in Leipzig.

“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and even completeness (unknown works by Haydn still turn up), and music lovers have had to make do with scattered, out-of-date, out-of- print editions of a few of the more familiar quartets.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.”
