URTEXT EDITIONS The word URTEXT means original text. An URTEXT then is closest to what the composer originally intended. Over the years, various editors have often made additions to compositions which have obscured the original purity of the composition.

In creating an URTEXT edition, musicologists strive to re-create the purest version of the composition. Extensive research goes into creating an URTEXT edition - scholars examine all available manuscripts, variances, copies and early editions of compositions available. Different URTEXT editions are often available for a single composition because different musicologists reach different conclusions regarding a composer's intent. Almost all URTEXT editions include editorial additions that aid in playing including fingerings and bowings that are clearly marked as such.
