Hello, Everyone. There was a lesson about different editorial manuscripts while I studied<\/div>\n
in CUHK MA and University of York MA (Musicology). This is a very interesting topic, indeed. It can<\/div>\n
especially help us to understand dissimilar scores\u2019 style, and choose a suitable one for your<\/div>\n
students as well as yourself. Therefore, I would like to share knowledge which I have learned in<\/div>\n
my study and hope they would help you to make a good choice.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
First of all, manuscripts can divide into three different categories in general. They are<\/div>\n
scholarly edition, critical edition and interpretative (performing) edition<\/strong>. However, if you refer to<\/div>\n
Grove music online, it mentioned four kinds of music edition. \u201cFour types of edition should satisfy<\/div>\n
the needs of most potential users of music editions: the photographic facsimile; the edited print<\/div>\n
that replicates the original notation; the interpretative edition; and the critical edition.\u201d Therefore,<\/div>\n
why are they differ with each other?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Indeed, the\u00a0photographic facsimile<\/strong>\u00a0is related to handwritings from a composer but using<\/div>\n
technology to demonstrate those manuscripts, like scanning or photocopying of them then<\/div>\n
present in a book. The edited print that replicates the original notation is the version which<\/div>\n
interprets those scores in highly respective with composers. They may not be many changes in<\/div>\n
comparing with the handwriting but a slightly difference. To be simple, I have asked my lecturer<\/div>\n
in UoY to clarify about these two versions on the relevant categories of edition. Her answer is we<\/div>\n
can put these two version into\u00a0scholarly edition<\/strong>.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We may\u00a0find critical edition<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0interpretative (performing) edition<\/strong>\u00a0easily in many music<\/div>\n
stores in Hong Kong. Critical edition is the original score of one composer, however, editors may<\/div>\n
add some markings into the score. Additional marking will be clearly stated by the editor. For<\/div>\n
example, if the editor adds a slur which did not show on the composer\u2019s score, that slur may mark<\/div>\n
a dot on it. Therefore, performers may easily to identify which musical elements are from<\/div>\n
composers in origin and which are from editors. Those markings may be based on researches from<\/div>\n
some musicologists or editors. As a result, I think these versions are authenticity.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Interpretative (performing) edition contains many information. Editors add tempo<\/div>\n
marking, dynamics, articulations, etc. into scores. This kind of version is for performers who can<\/div>\n
conveniently in interpreting the piece of music. However, you may not know exactly which<\/div>\n
markings are from composers and which are from editors. In addition, some interpretative edition<\/div>\n
may include performing guidance in the front of at the back of the book. They may explain reasons<\/div>\n
in those additional markings or changings. Therefore, these information are useful as well.<\/div>\n
In my opinion, different versions have their own advantages. Hope information stated on<\/div>\n
the above can help you and your students.<\/div>\n
