Close on the heels of Regina Back’s critical edition of Debussy’s
Children’s Corner come the
equally popular Deux Arabesques in the definitive Urtext performing
edition.

These two jewels of the piano literature were first published in
1891 and made available at the
time in a relatively small print run of 300 copies. In 1903 the
French publisher Durand attempting
to capitalize on Debussy’s quickly growing fame published the
Arabesque No.1 in an
advertisement in Le Figaro and between 1904 and the new engraving
with corrections and
revisions in 1912 more than 50,000 copies were sold!

Bärenreiter’s new Urtext edition while drawing on all known sources,
documents the geneses of the
compositions until 1912 and the new edition is based on this
corrected 1912 re-engraving.

- State-of-the-Art Bärenreiter quality Urtext

- Performer information on Aesthetics i.e. pedalling, tempo,
articulation, dynamics

- Critical report (Eng.) and Facsimile…

“Another direct hit for Bärenreiter’s!” (Piano Journal, Winter 2008)
