The Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach Edition was an edition of the music of C.P.E. Bach projected between 1982 and 1995. Many noted musical scholars, such as Christopher Hogwood, were participants in it, and it had the support of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Unfortunately, although musicologist and contributor David Schulenberg states that several volumes were prepared by their designated editors, only four volumes ever saw publication, and at present these are out of print. (These four volumes were published by Oxford University Press.)
However, many of the same Emanuel Bach specialists involved in this abandoned edition are now involved in the preparation of Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach: The Complete Works, an edition of C.P.E. Bach's music started in 2005.
Famous quotes containing the words carl, emanuel, bach and/or edition:
“The millere was a stout carl for the nones;”
—Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
“In the atom’s fizz and pop we heard possibility
uncorked. Taffeta wraps whispered on davenports.
A new planet bloomed above us; in its light
the stumps of cut pine gleamed like dinner plates.
The world was beginning all over again, fresh and hot;
we could have anything we wanted.”
—Lynn Emanuel (b. 1949)
“The author’s conviction on this day of New Year is that music begins to atrophy when it departs too far from the dance; that poetry begins to atrophy when it gets too far from music; but this must not be taken as implying that all good music is dance music or all poetry lyric. Bach and Mozart are never too far from physical movement.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
“I knew a gentleman who was so good a manager of his time that he would not even lose that small portion of it which the calls of nature obliged him to pass in the necessary-house, but gradually went through all the Latin poets in those moments. He bought, for example, a common edition of Horace, of which he tore off gradually a couple of pages, read them first, and then sent them down as a sacrifice to Cloacina: this was so much time fairly gained.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
