Works
All existing compositions by Leonhard Lechner, one of the significant German composers before the age of Heinrich Schütz, are for the first time made accessible to the general public in this critical edition.
In order to make the musical text immediately useful for performance purposes it uses standard clefs and shortened note values. The score has a modern layout though it does use Mensurstriche instead of bar lines.
Each volume contains an accompanying remark by the editor on the significance and position of the works in music history, as well as a critical report and a characteristic sampling of facsimile sources.
The series is complete. The following purchase options are available:
Purchase of individual volumes at retail sales prices

A strong plot, and fabulously imaginative music: but until now Handel’s “Giustino” has not been one of his most frequently-performed operas. With the new edition this could all change.
Franz Schubert’s stage works have never become firmly established in the repertoire. And yet they contain interesting examples of Romantic opera aesthetics. And with the 2028 Schubert anniversary year in mind, they offer a variety of opportunities for productions.
