Leipzig Edition of the Works of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy Series II (Concertos and Concert Pieces) Volume 3
A complete edition volume of high repertoire value With the 2nd Piano Concerto in D minor op. 40, the Leipzig Mendelssohn Complete Edition publishes a central composition for which the editors can come up with previously unprinted, authentic work versions. It is completely unknown that Mendelssohn wanted to allow string orchestra accompaniment in his 2nd Piano Concerto from the very beginning. In the Complete Edition, this alternative is published for the first time as a separate score. In addition, the study version for solo piano arranged by Mendelssohn appears, also as a first printing.The concerto was written in 1837 for the Birmingham Music Festival and was premiered there on September 21, with the composer playing the solo part. It was published in the summer of 1838 almost simultaneously by Novello in London, Schonenberger in Paris, and Breitkopf & Härtel in Leipzig. The edition consisted of piano part and orchestral parts (in Novello without wind parts). Mendelssohn provided the piano part with notes in small type in the pauses of the solo part and in some other places, which offered a partial piano score of the orchestral accompaniment. This allowed the work to be performed by a single player. In the string parts he inserted, also in small engraving, selected notes from the wind parts, which were to be played along if only strings were available.The edition presented here offers, in addition to the score for full instrumentation, for the first time a score for piano and string orchestra, which was prepared on the basis of the parts, as well as in the appendix the piano part in the form of a piano reduction for two hands given to it by the composer. The volume also includes an early version of the piano part, the surviving sketches and drafts of the work, and a list of the composer's changes to the orchestral parts after the first two performances:
