DESCRIPTION:
-BÄRENREITER HAS JOINED FORCES WITH THE INTERNATIONAL CÉSAR FRANCK SOCIETY TO PRODUCE A FIVE-VOLUME COMPLETE EDITION OF THE ORGAN WORKS OF CÉSAR FRANCK. IN ADDITION TO ALL ACCESSIBLE SOURCES, IT DRAWS ON PREVIOUSLY NEGLECTED MANUSCRIPTS, MAKING IT POSSIBLE TO OFFER A RELIABLE MUSICAL TEXT BASED ON METICULOUS TEXT-CRITICAL COMPARISONS. TEXT VARIANTS, CASES OF DOUBT AND EDITORIAL DECISIONS ARE RECORDED IN A COMPREHENSIVE CRITICAL COMMENTARY.

VOLUME 1, EDITED BY CHRISTIANE STRUCKEN-PALAND, IS THE FIRST PUBLICATION TO CONTAIN ALL OF FRANCK’S SURVIVING EARLY ORGAN WORKS, FRAGMENTS AND VARIANTS. SPECIAL ATTENTION HAS BEEN GIVEN TO HIS LARGEST EARLY WORK, THE FANTASY IN A MAJOR, WHICH WAS LEFT UNPUBLISHED DURING HIS LIFETIME AND ONLY RESURFACED A FEW YEARS AGO. HERE FRANCK ALREADY DISPLAYS HIS CONSUMMATE MASTERY OF THEMATIC DEVELOPMENT.
