Premiering shortly after its world debut under Serge Koussevitzky on 2 December 1944, Bartók's Concerto for Orchestra quickly earned its status as a concert repertoire “classic.” This volume presents the entire score with absolute authenticity in both textual and notational style, based on a thorough examination of all available sources—including a previously unknown full score copy containing Bartók’s own corrections and two early sound recordings.

The edition includes a detailed introductory essay on the genesis and reception of the Concerto, as well as extensive performance notes addressing Bartók’s specific notation and interpretative challenges. These essays and annotations are provided in Hungarian, English, and German, making this edition an indispensable resource for performers, scholars, and students of modern orchestral music. In addition, the critical commentary offers an annotated diplomatic transcription of all sketches and the entire continuity draft, exhaustively documenting the evolutionary process of this revered masterpiece.

A Bartók Béla: Concertó zenekarra – Tudományos összkiadás kritikai jegyzetekkel, 24. kötet a 20. század egyik leggyakrabban játszott zenekari művének hiteles és alaposan kutatott kiadása. Bartók Concerto zenekarra 1944. december 2-i Bostoni elsőbemutatója után röviddel már a hangverseny-repertoár klasszikusa lett. Ebben a kötetben a kottaszöveget és a notációs stílust teljes mértékben hitelesítettük, miután tüzetes vizsgálatot folytattunk minden rendelkezésre álló forráson, beleértve egy eddig ismeretlen, Bartók javításait tartalmazó partitúramásolatot és a mű két legkorábbi hangfelvételét.

A kötet részletes bevezető tanulmánya (angol, magyar, német) feltárja a Concertó keletkezésének és fogadtatásának történetét, valamint eligazítást nyújt az előadók számára Bartók jellegzetes notációs és interpretációs kérdéseiben. A kritikai kommentár jegyzetelt diplomatikus átírást tartalmaz a Concerto teljes vázlatanyagáról, amely kimerítően dokumentálja a mestermű megszületését.
