This new critical edition contains the first critical edition of the versions for one (1781) and three voices (1801) of the Stabat Mater, edited by Luca Lévi Sala. One of the most familiar of Boccherini’s works, even amongst non-specialists, the Stabat Mater can be considered the most representative work of the notoriously small sacred output of the composer. The edition is ground-breaking on many fronts. Via study of the handwriting, it provides evidence that the most important sources – the manuscript in Washington, the only source relating to the rst version of 1781, and the manuscript of the second Spanish version, Op. 61, preserved in Lucca and dating back to 1801 – are not autographs. Consequently, these and other sources can now be dated almost definitively. Finally, three new manuscript sources (preserved in Washington, Paris and Rome, mentioned neither in RISM nor in the related literature) have been found, together with new specimens of the Amiconi edition published in Naples, the first French edition by Sieber, and of those of Guidi and Breitkopf.
Luca Lévi Sala is Researcher at New York University. He is on the scholarly committees of the Italian National Editions of the complete works of Luigi Boccherini and Muzio Clementi, and has contributed articles and reviews to the «Journal of Musicological Research», «Notes», «Revue de musicologie», «Journal of Jewish Identities», «Eighteenth-Century Music», «Studi Musicali», «Rivista italiana di musicologia», «Ad Parnassum Journal», «Analecta musicologica», «Grove Music Online», «Die Musik in Geschichte und Gegenwart». He is also a contributor to «Oxford Bibliographies Online» (Oxford University Press), and the General Editor of the musicological series Music, Criticism & Politics [Brepols Publisher], Ad Parassum Studies [Ut Orpheus Edizioni], and Editor-in-Chief of the «Journal of Music Criticism».
