Melodramen und Lieder mit Instrumenten - Critical Report, Part 2, Sketches, Fragments. Notes critiques.

Arnold Schönberg is the central figure in the musical world of this century. His musical significance was already apparent during his life-time, but his posthumous influence has increased immensely. His work paved the way for ground-breaking changes in musical perception. This complete edition aspires to be equally indispensable for research as well as for performance. The edition is published in two series : series A in folio format contains all completed works, all piano scores prepared by the composer himself and all unfinished works suitable for performance ; also fragments (large scores) which are better suited to be printed in such a format.
Series B, in quarto format, contains early versions, sketches, ideas and fragments as well as genesis and a Critical Commentary.
