In 1955, the G. Henle publishing house published a milestone in Beethoven literature with Georg Kinsky and Hans Halm's list of all of Ludwig van Beethoven's completed works. Since then, Beethoven research has virtually exploded in many areas. The new complete edition of Beethoven's works is well advanced, the entire correspondence and Beethoven's conversation booklets have been published in excellent editions. In addition, groundbreaking works by international authors on Beethoven's creative process have changed our image of the composer. Reason enough to present this current state of research in a new standard work for a broad readership!<\/p>\n

The new, two-volume Beethoven catalog raisonn\u00e9 is clearly structured to facilitate
The presentation of the historical aspects of each work - creation, publication, first performances, dedicatees, etc. - is followed in a second section by a description of the manuscripts and prints. For the first time, the sketches for the work are also comprehensively listed among the autographs. The prints also include contemporary reprints and arrangements with details of where they were found.<\/p>\n

The works without opus numbers are supplemented by 23 new works. In addition, there are separate chapters on Beethoven's unfinished works, his compositional studies, opera and oratorio plans and copies of works by other composers and theoretical works. Several appendices provide information on spurious and dubious works and on publishing and printing in Beethoven's time. Extensive overviews and indexes make it easier for the reader to find the desired information. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
