Theodore Presser published this repertoire standard in Critical Edition, marking its 50th anniversary. Unlike most critical editions, however, this one was supervised by the composer himself. The set includes a full score, and corrects and revises dynamics, articulations, and pitches - all exactly as the composer intended. A true "urtext" in every sense of the word.
