Historical editions form part of a category of printed music, which generally consists of classical music and opera from a past repertory, where the term can apply to several different types of published music. However, it is principally applied to one of three types of music of this sort: * Scholarly or critical editions are music editions in which careful scholarship has been employed to ensure that the music contained within is as close to the composer's original intentions as possible. Such editions are sometimes called urtext editions. * Collected Works or Complete Works, generally in multi-volume sets, are devoted to a particular composer or to a particular musical repertory. This is sometimes referred to in German as ''Gesamtausgabe''〔Literally: "whole edition"〕 when containing the works of one particular composer. * Monuments or Monumental Editions (or the German ''Denkmäler'')〔Literally: "memorials"〕 when containing a repertory defined by geography, time period, or musical genre. == The origins of historical editions == Up until the 18th century, music performance and distribution centered around current compositions. Even professional musicians rarely were familiar with music written more than a half century before their own time.〔Moser, p. 7〕 In the second half of the 18th century, an awakening of interest in the history of music prompted the publication of numerous collections of older music (for example, William Boyce's ''Cathedral Music'', published around 1760-63, and Giovanni Battista Martini's ''Esemplare, ossia Saggio... di contrappunto'', published around 1774-5).〔Sydney Robinson Charles, ("Editions, Historical", ''Grove Music Online'' ) ed. L. Macy. Accessed 17 April 2007〕 Around the same time, the proliferation of pirated editions of music by popular composers (such as Haydn and Mozart) prompted respected music publishers to embark on "oeuvres complettes," intended as uniform editions of the entire musical output of these composers. Unfortunately, many of these early complete works projects were never finished.〔Lang, p. 337〕 In the 19th century, the emergence of romantic hero worship of composers, sometimes described as the "cult of genius," fired the enthusiasm for Complete Works series for important composers.〔Lang, p. 377.〕 The development of the academic field of musicology also contributed to an interest in more accurate and well-researched editions of musical works. Finally, the rise of Nationalism within music circles influenced the creation of Monumental Editions devoted to geographical regions, such as ''Denkmäler deutscher Tonkunst'' begun in 1892 and ''Denkmäler der Tonkunst in Österreich'' begun in 1894. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Historical editions (music)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
