Vierne Messe Solennelle

[nachthorn]

Does anyone have, or know where to find, a list of errata/corrections/misprints for the Hamelle/Leduc edition of the Vierne Messe Solennelle?

 

Assistance gratefully received!

 

Thanks,

Is inaccuracy of this edition thought to be a problem? I have just performed it (singing, not playing), and only became aware of one very obvious misprint in the soprano part. The poor reproduction of double sharps in particular can give the appearance of misprints in some places, I suppose. Oh, and there are a couple of (obvious) typos in the recent resetting of the words (only).

I don't remember being aware of any misprints when I played it a while back. I hope that's not a reflection on my playing!!

Thanks Paul and Vox. It was only an assumption that one would be needed, based on the number of corrections needed for other Vierne works - the Pieces de Fantaisie, for instance. I haven't performed it yet, so I thought I'd see if someone else had done the hard work first!

 

Now that I think about it, my Vierne organ scores are published by Lemoine, who perhaps had a different approach to proof-reading than Hamelle.

In the not-too-distant future, you may care to invest in one or other of the new editions of Verne's organ music by Carus or Bärenreiter.
