Urtext Edition of Leopold Koželuch’s settings of Robert Burns’s Songs for George Thomson

Rycroft, M.(Ed.) (2022) Urtext Edition of Leopold Koželuch’s settings of Robert Burns’s Songs for George Thomson. [Scholarly Editions]

Abstract

This online edition provides readers of Kirsteen McCue’s Robert Burns’s Songs for George Thomson (The Oxford Edition of the Works of Robert Burns, Vol IV) the opportunity to explore the Scottish Airs that George Thomson commissioned from Leopold Koželuch to which Thomson set the verses of Robert Burns. It should be noted that we are presenting only the Burns songs that appeared with Koželuch arrangements in Thomson’s collections; during his collaboration with Thomson, he made many more arrangements of airs which were published with lyrics by other writers, along with a set of six piano sonatas based on Scottish airs with accompaniments for violin and ’cello. The edition of Koželuch’s Burns settings provided here complements previous Urtext editions (ed. Rycroft et al) of Thomson’s Scottish Airs arranged by Pleyel, Haydn and Weber.
