Abstract

The Carl Nielsen Edition (CNU) was established in 1993 on the initiative of the then Minister of Culture in response to press polemics concerning the poor state of performance material for the opera Maskarade . The project was concluded with the publication of the last volume in March 2009. Prior to the CNU the dissemination of Nielsen’s music had been compromised by the generally bad state of the written music, either in the form of bad editions or no editions at all. The edition of all Nielsen’s completed works in 35 volumes has been prepared on a scholarly, philological basis and presented in a way that aspires to the highest possible standard. The edition now presents all Nielsen’s music for the first time, making possible a new and broader approach to the composer by scholars and musicians.
