some important corrections made in the bärenreiter new berlioz edition
The standard edition for Berlioz used always to be the Breitkopf & Härtel Gesamtausgabe, edited by Charles Malherbe c.1900. But this edition did take some liberties with Berlioz's original text, making emendations on more or less arbitrary grounds, and from the 1970s a new and excellent Gesamtausgabe was published by Bärenreiter. However, many orchestras continue to use their own Breitkopf material (these overtures only appeared in the NBE in 2000), so a guide to some of the important differences follows.
In all these Berlioz works the Eulenburg miniature score (EE) derives from the original French edition, so is in almost every case correct (✓ below). Only in some (more recent) printings has Berlioz's 4 Bassoons been changed to 2 (× below).
