Schicksalslied, Op.54 Buchkatalog

Brahms started work on his lush setting of Friedrich Hölderlin's poem Hyperions Schicksalslied (Hyperion's Song of Destiny) in 1868 but did not complete it until 1871, being unsatisfied with the ending until he completed his better-known Alto Rhapsody, Op.53. The vocal score offered here is a clean digitally-enhanced reprint of the classic vocal score issued by Breitkopf & Härtel in the early 20th century edited by the eminent musicologist Eusebius Mandyczewski. Matches the widely available reprint orchestral parts offered by E.F. Kalmus (A1343) and Luck's Music Library (07292). IMSLP page Wikipedia
