Richard Wagner

Siegfried-Idyll WWV 103

With the "Siegfried Idyll" WWV 103, Richard Wagner created one of the most touching and intimate orchestral works in the history of music. Originally composed as an affectionate birthday gift for his wife Cosima, this chamber-like symphonic poem enchants with its incomparable warmth, lyrical tenderness, and masterful polyphony. This edition from the prestigious publisher Breitkopf & Härtel provides the complete harmony/wind parts (Harmoniestimmen) for orchestra. It stands out for its high editorial precision, excellent legibility, and performer-friendly page turns. Whether in a large concert hall or an intimate setting, these harmony parts form the resonant core of this masterpiece, granting the performance its characteristic, ethereal magic. Essential sheet music for orchestras and conductors looking to bring Wagner's deeply personal musical love letter vibrantly to life.
