Organ Compositions III - Bedřich Antonín Wiedermann
None of the compositions by Bedřich Antonín Wiedermann (1883 – 1951) in the current issue has come out in print yet. The objective of this edition is to enliven – if possible – the author’s original intention. Any editorial modifications – which were not very frequent – appear in brackets in the score. This publication includes Variation and Fuge on a Moravian folk song from Napoleonic era (1937), Lullaby (1945), two Patorelas (1912, 1943) and Adoration (1912).
As sources the author’s autographs were given preference (these are partly stored at the Czech Museum of Music – ČMH, and partly they come from Irena Chřibková’s private collection – ICh). The individual sources differ substantially as to the details they contain, ranging from “bare” notation to scores containing quite elaborate dynamic, articulation, and expression instructions. Only at times was the mode of notation tacitly altered (e.g. in the case of added or deleted “safety accidentals”, or when long legato slurs were substituted by the appropriate text “legato” or “leg” that remain valid until the next articulation instruction).
