Author Description

The William Walton Edition is a collected edition of the works of one of England's finest and best-loved composers. Each work is newly edited and checked against the composer's manuscript, previous published editions, and all other relevant material. The result is a definitive and fully practical edition, based on the form in which the composer ultimately wished his music to be performed, and including in some cases both original and revised versions. Carefully researched introductory essays place the works in their historical context and in the composer's oeuvre, and there are full critical notes.
