Béla Bartók - Bd. 24 Konzert für Orchester

The Béla Bartók Complete Critical Edition is a joint project of G. Henle Publishers, Munich, and Editio Musica Budapest. The volume at hand was edited by Klára Móricz. With the publication of the Concerto for Orchestra the score for one of Bartók’s most important orchestral works is now available. The genesis of this work that Bartók wrote during the last part of his life under special circumstances is described in the introduction, making it very worthwile to read. The critical commentary documents the compositional process in detail, and also contains transcriptions of the extensive sketches.
