Edition of the letters of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy

该项目一直在精心设计作曲家菲利克斯·门德尔松·巴托尔迪(Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy，1809-1847)书信的批评版。预计将有12卷。除了这些信件转录文本的可靠印刷品外，该版本还对文献学、内容和上下文的维度以及关于个人、公司和作品的索引、地名的一致性以及进一步的重要解释学登记进行了批判性评论。该版本由Bärenreiter出版社(Kassel)出版。第一卷于2008年出版，第二卷于2009年出版，第三卷于2010年出版，第四卷于2011年出版。第五卷已经准备好付印了。第六卷的很大一部分已于2011年底作为草稿移交给出版商。正如一再报道的那样，由于工作人员变动，生产出现了延误。由于推断和发现了新的来源，工作的程度有所增加。这些卷现在将有830页，而不是750页。由于贡献者的巨大承诺，这项工作的结束现在是可以预见的，并且是现实地安排的。该版本的非凡意义是毋庸置疑的贡献者和所有参与的同事，并已在评论中得到肯定的评价。

The project has been elaborating a critical edition of the letters of composer Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy (1809-1847). 12 volumes are projected. Besides a philologically reliable print of the letters’ transcribed texts, the edition features a critical comment on the dimensions of philology, content and context, as well as indices on persons, corporations and works, a concordance of place names, and further hermeneutically important registers.The edition is published by Bärenreiter Publishers (Kassel). The first volume has appeared in 2008, the second followed in 2009, the third in 2010, the fourth in 2011. The fifth volume is ready for press. Huge parts of the sixth volume have been handed over to the publisher as a draft at the end of 2011.There has been a delay in production as a result of staff fluctuation, as has been repeatedly reported. The extent of work has increased due to deductions and discoveries of new sources. The volumes will now have 830 rather than 750 pages. As a consequence of the contributors’ great commitment, the work’s conclusion is now foreseeable and realistically scheduled. The edition’s extraordinary significance is beyond doubt with the contributors and all involved colleagues and has already been evalued affirmatively in reviews.
