The edition Richard Strauss Werke · Kritische Ausgabe (RSW) [Richard Strauss Works · Critical Edition] is the first scholarly critical edition of Richard Strauss’s complete musical oeuvre. Up until now, the majority of his
compositions have been available only in largely uncorrected reprints of older publications. In the new edition, all compositions in major genres – the complete stage works, orchestral works, lieder and songs (with piano
and orchestral accompaniment) and chamber music - are newly edited. The edition also incorporates different versions and fragments alongside a documentation of the sources, the genesis of individual works, and performance variations authorised by the composer. The edition consists of printed musical volumes with integrated critical reports and is augmented by an online platform featuring text comparisons and annotated collections of documents. The extensive introductions and footnotes are written in German and English.
