Summary of This Score

"My angel, my all, my self": it is with these words that Beethoven opens, in July 1812, a famous love letter addressed to a woman whose identity remains unknown. This mystery still shapes our perspective on certain pages of the composer, notably on "An die ferne Geliebte," a song cycle composed a few years later on poems by Alois Jeitteles.

In this new edition, Barry Cooper does not merely offer a carefully verified musical text: his Introduction explores possible links between the biography and inspiration of the work, while posing concrete musical questions useful to the musician. The result is a score that is both demanding and accessible, designed to support daily work, whether you are a singer, accompanist pianist, teacher, or conservatory student.

Particularly valuable for ensemble work, this edition highlights elements of interpretative practice that directly influence the voice-piano balance, phrase breathing, and the continuity of the discourse between the different songs of the cycle. An ideal resource for building a nuanced interpretation, refining German diction, polishing dynamics, and giving relief to the poetic narrative, all while respecting Beethoven's spirit.
