Description
More than 230 years have passed since the first publication of an organ work (“Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern”, 1793) by Buxtehude in the Breitkopf publishing house. Since 1875, practical and scholarly editions have appeared repeatedly, adapting to the style of interpretation of the time. In contrast, the new edition of the Complete Organ Works, edited by Harald Vogel, is a practical source edition that provides the information derived from the historical notation transmission.
This edition is the result of Harald Vogel’s many years of experience as an organist and musicologist. It comprises five handy volumes, which, in addition to a clear set of notes on two and three staves, provide new information on the sources and the organs played by Buxtehude; this is the first time that elements of the construction and sound structure of the organs in the Marienkirche Lübeck have been explained. Despite from its practical usability, the image of the sources is not distorted (e. g. by superfluous rests or the unhistorical adaptation of time signatures).
While volumes I/1 and III/1 contain only the music, vols. I/2, II and III/3 also include the critical reports and comprehensive texts on notation, ornamentation and Buxtehude’s original instruments, among other things.
„This new edition belongs in every academic library, and it will bring new insights unto this wonderful music to every organist who adds it to a personal library.” (Kerala Snyder, The American Organist, July 2023)
