I need to buy a new set of parts for this piece.
Which edition is generally considered to be the most authoritative?
Thanks
Chris

The Henle edition claims to be the "Urtext." Gary van Cott has it as item C360.
The word Urtext is often used loosely, and good editors can resolve inconsistencies. However, Henle is a good house. Perhaps Tony Pay can give us his opinion on the Henle and other editions.

Actually, I don't own the Henle, but I'm sure it's OK.
The only few insights I can offer are drawn from a photocopy of the manuscript, which incidentally Mark has put online at:
http://www.woodwind.org/clarinet/Music/Manuscripts/BrahmsTrio/
The first is that you can see that bars 2 and 3 are written in an archaic notation system that I for one find suggestive; the second that in the manuscript the 'cello continues with the low E repetition through bars 74 and 75, stopping in bar 76 -- I think this is better than stopping in bar 73; and the third is what I wrote about the slow movement in:

I've found the Henle edition to have very little or nothing that's "questionable," but it's also laid out very nicely visually.
