Johann Adolf Hasse. Selected Works

Edited by the Hasse-Gesellschaft Bergedorf e.V.

On the occasion of his 300th birthday, the Hasse-Gesellschaft Hamburg-Bergedorf began publishing a selection of his works in a critical edition. The Hasse Works Edition (HWA) is intended to serve both as an impeccable text for muicologists and as basis for practical performance.
