Norbert Gertsch (Editor)

Dr. Norbert Gertsch, born in 1967 in Rheinkamp/Moers, studied piano solo at the Mozarteum in Salzburg and read musicology and philosophy at the Paris Lodron University in Salzburg and the Ruperto Carola University Heidelberg on a scholarship from the “Studienstiftung des Deutschen Volkes”. In 1996 he wrote his doctoral thesis on Ludwig van Beethoven’s Missa solemnis (as part of the New Complete Edition) under Ludwig Finscher.

In the following year, he began to work at G. Henle Publishers, initially as an editor for electronic publishing. After working on a two-year project (1999–2000) sponsored by the German Research Foundation (DFG) preparing a new Beethoven Catalogue of Works, he became a scholarly editor at G. Henle Publishers. In 2003 he became Editor-in-Chief, in 2009 Deputy Managing Director and Head of Publishing. As of 1 January 2024, the Executive Board of the Günter Henle Foundation has appointed Dr. Norbert Gertsch, as the new managing director, succeeding Dr. Wolf-Dieter Seiffert.

Gertsch has published many Urtext editions for G. Henle Publishers, including volumes for a new edition of Beethoven’s Piano Sonatas together with Murray Perahia.

Norbert Gertsch zeichnet im Vorwort zur Urtextausgabe wunderbar die zum Teil abenteuerliche Hintergrundgeschichte der Etüden nach. So klärt er zum Beispiel das Rätsel um die Frage auf, ob es nun ursprünglich 40 oder 42 Etüden waren. Dank Gertschs akribischer Detail- und Quellenarbeit erhält der interessierte Leser im Vorwort sowie in den Bemerkungen am Ende einen umfangreichen Einblick in die verschiedenen von Kreutzer selbst überarbeiteten Fassungen. ... Die in farblich abgesetztem Graudruck gehaltenen Fingersätze und dynamischen Zeichen von Turban zeugen von einer sehr feinsinnigen, musikalisch klanglichen Gestaltung der einzelnen Phrasen und sind ein weiteres Highlight dieser Ausgabe. ... Es bleibt zu resümieren, dass es sich hier um eine sehr empfehlenswerte Ausgabe handelt.

das Orchester, 2020

Cette nouvelle parution de Henle – sortie à l’automne 2019 – est basée surtout sur la première édition et le manuscrit contenant 25 études et 3 esquisses. Elle présente les coups d’archet et les doigtés originaux de Kreutzer. Des doigtés alternatifs et des courtes explications de travail, préparés par Ingolf Turban, conformes aux habitudes de jeu actuels, sont imprimés en gris pour les distinguer des annotations de l’auteur. Grâce aux pages pliantes aucune tourne est nécessaire. Un vrai bonheur dans le travail! Il ne reste plus, chers élèves, qu’à plonger dans le contenu et grimper les marches vers l’excellence!
