Re: Fake Haas Edition
※ 引述《Piaf (...)》之銘言：
: There is an article about the 1887/1890 Bruckner 8th in Ben Korstvedt's
: book. Worth reading.I agree with Fassbaender: this book is really a good
: one, although the reviews in amazon.com are pretty terrible. The full score
: of the 1887 version can be achieved in Schott-Eulenberg Miniature Scores
: edition (USD 25).
I must clarify my review of Prof. Korstvedt's book. First, it's a good book
for those who are interested in the background of this master piece
(Bruckner's 8th), since Prof. Korstvedt followed a rigorous method
to investigate the problems behind this symphony. In this book readers
can find several tabulated data, plenty references, and clear argument.
However, I am not completely convinced by Prof. Korstvedt's argument
about the Haas edition. It is widely known that Haas's Edition is based
on the 1890 manuscript, inserted some material by 1887 version. But,
(and this is a BIG BUT), Prof. Korstvedt used some exaggerate terms when
describing this which is terribly misleading. For example, he wrote:
"his edition does not include any scholarly apparatus nor does the
introduction adequately explain this edtorial intervention."
He also applied some patriotic terms to strengthen his argument against
Haas edition, and this should not have happened in an academic article.
He tends to link Prof. Robert Haas to the Nazi Party, and National
Socialism, then went to conclude ...what so ever, and finally he implied
that the Haas edition should be forbidden. I cannot agree this at all.
Most people would agree Haas edition still has its meaning in the studies
of Bruckner's music.
(The American people are more patriotic then you can imagine. You can
almost see the TV programs blameing on those who they regard as
"Center of EVIL", "TYRANT", and "NOTORIOUS BARBARIANS" every day.
Terrible!)
Therefore, when you are reading this book, don't forget to read Deryck
Cooke and Robert Simpson's book, to get a fair balance on the Haas/Nowak
issue.
I know I went too far from the title that I initially set. Maybe I can
end this series of article by correctting another mis-labeled recording.
Karl Boehm/VPO/Bruckner Symphony no. 8 (1977, DG Gallery Series)
Actually it's Nowak Edition, not Haas edition as printed on the back
cover.
