Messiah (Klavierauszug XL englisch)

Georg Friedrich Händel is celebrated as a pivotal figure in English oratorio, with "Messiah" being a quintessential work of sacred music. This critical edition presents all known alternative versions of the solo parts, reflecting Händel's adaptations influenced by changing performance conditions and soloists. A concordance links these variations to performances from the 1742 Dublin premiere to London concerts through 1754. The edition also includes two piano reductions for ease of reading and offers ornamentation suggestions from expert Ton Koopman, alongside a standard choir score for modern performances.
