hey ya'll.
looking through several different editions/publications of the Weber "concertino" and Mozart's "Concerto" i have noticed that different editions have different articulations, additional rhythms and even added repeats. How does one know which edition is closest to the composer's wishes. (you know, what he actually wrote). do different editions make an impact on judges ears at a competition (if not specified)? should i be concerned about this at all?
any thoughts?

'Urtext' is the most common designation, but unfortunately that term has been corrupted. In the case of the Mozart, there's no manuscript available, so the best you can do is the result of research into what Mozart might have written.

I'll wait for a judge to respond, but theoretically it shouldn't. However, there are horrible editions of certain works out there that should be banned.

Speaking as a NYSSMA high school adjudicator, any edition of the Mozart Concerto or Weber Concertino is acceptable.
As for articulation, rhythms, dynamics, etc... as long as the performer is consistant with his musical decisions and is within the framework of the style of music, there should be no problem...GBK
