Kodály: Háry János Suite

Description

This edition is based on the fi rst printed score published in 1927 (Universal Edition UE 8943), and was compared with Kodály's own conductor's copy, three additional scores held in the Budapest Zoltán Kodály Archives containing autograph notes, as well as the corrections from the piano reduction and the orchestral parts of the stage work, kept in the archives of the publisher. The present new edition has adopted only as many changes as could be authentically traced back to the composer's intentions of revision. These being preponderantly dynamic or agogic accents, the provision of a detailed Critical Report was deemed unnecessary. (Ferenc Bónis)
