Talk:Mass No. 3 (Bruckner)

The different versions and editions

As mentioned, the Mass was composed 1868, and revised several times: 1876, 1877, 1881–83 and 1890–93.

It is a complex situation:

• The first edition (Doblinger, 1894) was based on the revision made by Josef Schalk in 1893; it was re-edited by Woess in 1924.
• The Haas edition (1944, re-edition 1952) was based mainly on the 1883 version, mixed with some elements of the 1868 and 1893 versions.
• The Nowak edition (1960) was a somewhat "cleaned" Haas edition, as did also the Hans Ferdinand Redlich edition (Eulenburg, 1967).
• The Hawkshaw new edition (2005) contains two critical versions: 1883 and 1893.

It is not always obvious to know which edition is used by a recording. The older recordings are mainly using the Haas edition or a variant of it. The most recent recordings presumably are mainly using the Nowak edition. A few recordings however, as by Andrievskyi, are apparently still using the Woess edition. A few others, as by Ricardo Luna, are actually using the Hawkshaw new edition.

There is as yet no edition or recording of the original version of 1868. --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 11:08, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

Review and update

I have restructured the lay-out of the page. I am now updating its different sections, according to van Zwol's and Harten's handbooks. I will later also add info coming from Max Auer's book. --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 08:21, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
