Complete editions and Selected works

One very important area for Carus is the supervision of historical-critical complete editions and editions of selected works; these are developed in collaboration with renowned edition institutes such as the Bach-Archiv Leipzig, the Max-Reger-Institut, the Heinrich-Schütz-Archiv in Dresden or the Centro Studi Giacomo Puccini in Lucca.
  • Heinrich Schütz

    The Stuttgart Schütz Edition is being published in cooperation with the renowned Heinrich-Schütz-Archiv of the Hochschule für Musik Dresden.
