  Urtext edition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An urtext edition of a work of classical music is a printed version intended to reproduce the original intention of the composer as exactly as possible, without any added or changed material.
The sources for an urtext edition include the autograph (that is, the manuscript produced in the composer's hand), hand copies made by the composer's students and assistants, the first published edition, and other early editions.
Since first editions often include misprints, a particularly valuable source for urtext editions is a copy of the first edition that was hand-corrected by the composer.

 URTEXT Sheet Music - original text
Different URTEXT editions are often available for a single composition because different musicologists reach different conclusions regarding a composer's intent.
Almost all URTEXT editions include editorial additions that aid in playing including fingerings and bowings that are clearly marked as such.
URTEXT editions are as true to the composer's original intent as possible.

 good editions   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
You should already be asking just who wrote your favourite editions of Bach, Mozart and Schubert, unless of course you own Urtext editions already (Urtext indicating that the edition in front of you is faithful to the original and any tampering is minimal and should be marked as such).
The fact that an edition does not have incipits or introductions does not necessarily mean it is a bad edition, but it will help you in choosing and assessing your purchases.
Most of Saraband Music's own editions do not have incipits, but this is not because I did not want to do it; more that the music notation program that I use does not allow it.

 Universal Edition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Founded in 1901 in Vienna, and originally intended to provide the core classical works and educational works to the Austrian market (which had until then been dominated by Leipzig-based publishers), the firm soon expanded to become one of the most important publishers of modern music.
In collaboration with Schott, they have published the Wiener Urtext Edition series since 1972.
Originally consisting of works for one or two performers by composers from Johann Sebastian Bach to Johannes Brahms, the series was later expanded to include a limited number of later works, such as the Ludus Tonalis of Paul Hindemith.

 The Recent Editions of the Bach Cello Suites
When I published my edition in 1964, which was based on the Kellner and Westphal manuscripts (which I uncovered), as well as the Anna Magdalena and the Lute versions (for the Fifth Suite), it was the 52nd.
This new edition comes in a nice blue case, and includes, besides the score of the Suites, an explanatory text, the facsimiles of the four copies, and a very welcome novelty: the reprint of the first edition of 1824 by Norblin.
Whether or not necessary, these seven new editions are additional evidence of the enduring richness of the Suites, and should be an enticement to the younger generation to study them in depth and realize that they are a bottomless treasure.

The critical edition (Urtext) of the First Concerto, produced by Thomas Wood, was published in 1994 by N. Simrock Publishers (London-Hamburg).
This Urtext edition, generously supplied with detailed preface and extensive critical notes, is available for violin and piano (with Joachim's original fingerings and a new piano reduction by Wood) as well as for violin and orchestra (Urtext full score with Urtext parts).
The first edition of the Octet was premiered in Karlsruhe, Germany on 12 December 1996, led by violinist Ulf Hoelscher.

 Beethoven: The 32 Piano Sonatas. How this edition can be useful to pianists.
I have chosen the Henle Urtext edition for the comparisons, because it is known as a source which serious pianists use, but the same issues will arise with all modern editions.
In the original edition the A and the B in the middle voice are placed on the bass stave where they continue on from the G's which are in the bass stave in the first half of the bar.
Then, check them against modern editions which may (as I hope is the case with my editions of Sor and Giuliani and others) have solved certain problems which are in those early editions such as misprints or unclear repeats.

Compared to some older editions, the differences in the musical text are often so far reaching that Bärenreiter Urtext editions are audibly different.

 The Recent Editions of the Bach Cello Suites
Henle is at the basis of the “Urtext movement” which has had an immense impact on interpretation and is indirectely at the source of the "historically informed" stream.
This edition is conservative, and for this matter should appeal to a certain type of cellist, who expect a fairly reliable text, but without adventure.
These eight new editions are, if necessary, an additional proof of the enduring richness of the Suites, and should be an enticement to the younger generation to study them in depth and realize that they are a bottomless treasure.

 Henle or Barenreiter - Bach Double
The Barenreiter website specifically mentions that their publication is an "urtext edition." There is no such mention on the Henle website, but every Henle part I've ever owned has included both the unedited urtext and an edited part, usually with period bowings, articulations, and fingerings.
Even if they don't have the urtext, you can be sure that their edited edition was taken directly from the urtext.
Barenreiter urtexts tend to be unedited, be of better quality in terms of durabitlity, and sit better on your stand, so I prefer them.

 Piano Forums at Piano World: Best Editions
Arrau made an excellent edition of beethoven's sonatas for peters, cortot has made very very good and fascinating editions of chopin and debussy which should be examined by everyone interested in those composers, even for bach a good edited edition can give good ideas...mugelini's edition for example have ample notes and are informative.
Besides, the editions are usually by people who are much smarter than me with respect to piano playing, hence I appreciate all suggestions regarding tempo, dynamics etc. This does not mean that I actually follow all suggestions.
One edition I would avoid is the Schnabel edition, which alters Beethoven’s phrase marks and generally imposes the pianist’s ideas on the performer (ironically, Schnabel’s own recordings are often poles apart from his own editions!).

Publishing an Urtext edition requires an eye for detail and sometimes strange encounters similar to those in an exciting mystery novel.
To publish an Urtext edition of the Ghost Variations, Henle had to act as a detective, searching for references in letters, journals, special reports, and in the catalogues of old booksellers.
Geiringer's mysterious "English source" for the first edition of the variations was actually a copy he had made before he escaped from the Nazis to the United States via London.

Rosen's book, now in a revised edition, is a follow-up to his classic "Classical Style," and it helps to be acquainted with the earlier work, or at least to be somewhat accustomed to the author's elaborate and occasionally repetitive prose and his habit of illustrating the discussion with copious, lengthy musical examples.

It is here that the first complete edition of Mozart's works began to appear in 1876, that the historically important biographies by Georg Nikolaus von Nissen of 1828 and Hermann Abert of 1919/21 were published, and that the Köchel-Verzeichnis, still a work of fundamental importance, saw the light of day.
More than ever before, the publishing house has taken it upon itself to make Mozart's works available according to the latest musicological standards in Urtext editions for scholars and performers.
Among the new Breitkopf editions are the violin concertos with cadenzas by Andrew Manze, works for flute and orchestra by Henrik Wiese, Mozart’s “Jupiter” symphony edited by Mozart expert Cliff Eisen, the Sinfonia concertante in E flat major K. 364 by Tabea and Frank-Peter Zimmermann, and Mozart’s concert arias with Juliane Banse and Christoph Prégardien.
