Symphony No.9 in D minor Op.125 - Urtext Facsimile

Awarded with the German Music Edition Prize "Best Edition" 2011

Already the large-format paper which Beethoven used for some passages makes the large forces clear. Cuts, sometimes reversed later, show how he wrestled with the final version of the musical text and refined it right down to the last detail. For the first time the facsimile presents all the parts of the manuscript including pages preserved in Bonn and Paris as well as the trombone and contrabassoon parts.

Synonymous with the highest authenticity The BÄRENREITER FACSIMILE seal is used exclusively for facsimile editions published by Bärenreiter which meet the highest demands in both scholarly and technical terms.

The distinguishing features include:
- a facsimile in high quality colour printing
- attractive cover design
- scholarly commentary
