Complete Concert Arias for Soprano, Vol. III

"The three-volume collection of Mozarts complete concert arias for soprano comprises all the individual arias and scenes for soprano which are not contained in Mozarts stage works, masses or cantatas. It also includes opera arias written at a later date and that have been widely neglected in stage practice, as well as a few works that have survived in fragmentary form. Very valuable for performance practice are the cadenzas and Eingänge provided by the internationally acclaimed Mozart singer Juliane Banse. Franz Beyer's edition, which incorporates the cadenzas and ""Eingänge"" (ornamental flourishes) that Juliane Banse has already performed in concert, provides extensive information on the performance practice of Mozart's vocal music (including appoggiaturas, recitatives, cadenzas/flourishes, dynamics) and supplies an individual commentary on the contents and historical position of each aria. Moreover, the volume contains a list of instructional methods from Mozart's day (with indications of facsimile reprints or English-language translations) as well as German and English translations of the predominantly Italian aria texts. For the first time ever, piano-vocal scores of all of Mozart's concert arias for soprano are now available in the Breitkopf edition. "
