Description
The St Matthew Passion of 1758 exemplifies several aspects of Georg Philipp Telemann's late Passion writing: his evolving recitative style in the 1750s, the sometimes considerable abridgements of the Gospel texts, the use of new chorale texts – including those by Christian Fürchtegott Gellert and Christlob Mylius – and the division of the Evangelist part between two singers. Telemann also reused the biblical recitatives and turba choruses from this Passion in two later Passions, a technique he generally employed in his late Passions and which can be traced here in an exemplary manner.
The source situation is favourable, as a Hamburg set of parts by Telemann's principal copyist Schieferlein exists in addition to a copy of the full score by Georg Michael Telemann. This means that the colla-parte parts and the underlying texts have been preserved in their entirety; only one original figured organ part is missing.
The foreword addresses all these aspects in meticulous detail and also discusses performance practice issues at length. It furthermore documents the chorale texts and melodies. The volume contains a complete facsimile of the Passion text, selected illustrations from the musical sources, the Critical Report and the music score with a concise appendix. It provides a broad and solid foundation for research on Telemann as a church composer; for performers it makes accessible in a Major work from Telemann's late creative period.

Publishers use a lot of words to describe what they sell, and we know it can be confusing. We've tried to be as clear as possible to make sure you get exactly what you are looking for. Below are descriptions of the terms that we use to describe the various formats that music often comes in.
Choral Score
A score for vocalists that only contains the vocal lines. The instrumental parts are not there for reference. Generally, cheaper than a vocal score and requires multiple copies for purchase.
Facsimile
Reproductions of the original hand-written scores from the composer.
Full Score
For ensemble music, this indicates that the edition contains all parts on a single system (there are not separate parts for each player). In larger ensembles, this is for the conductor.
Hardcover
Hardbound. Generally either linen-covered or half-leather.
Orchestral Parts
Similar to a wind set, this is a collection of parts. In the case of strings, the numbers listed are the number of copies included, though generally these are available individually (often with minimum quantities required).
Paperback
When publishers offer multiple bindings (e.g. hardcover) or study scores, this is the "standard" version. If you're planning to play the music, this is probably what you want.
Performance / Playing Score
A score of the music containing all parts on one system, intended for players to share. There are not separate parts for each player.
Set of Parts
For ensemble music, this indicates that there are separate individual parts for each player.
Solo Part with Piano Reduction
For solo pieces with orchestra, this is a version that contains a piano reduction of the orchestra parts. For piano pieces, two copies are typically needed for performance.
Study Score
A small (think choral size) copy of the complete score meant for studying, and not playing. They make great add-ons when learning concertos and small chamber works.
Vocal Score
A score prepared for vocalists that includes the piano/organ part or a reduction of the instrumental parts.
Wind Set
For orchestral music, this is a collection of wind and percussion parts. The specific quantities of each instrument are notated.
With Audio
In addition to the printed music, the edition contains recordings of the pieces. This may be an included CD, or access to files on the internet.
With / Without Fingering (Markings)
Some publishers prepare two copies - a pure Urtext edition that includes no fingering (or bowing) suggestions and a lightly edited version that includes a minimal number of editorial markings.
