Introduction by Nicholas Kitchen to this manuscript expressive markings edition score and parts for
Beethoven String Quartet in Eb Major, Op. 127. This edition was created by violinist Nicholas Kitchen in
order to have an easily legible document showing the details of the way Beethoven notated expressive
markings in the manuscript of Op. 127.
What I have discovered working closely with Beethoven manuscripts is that Beethoven employed a far
more elaborate system of expressive markings in his manuscripts than we see in print. By "expressive
markings" I mean all the markings which communicate with the player how the notes should be played to
achieve expression: this includes beaming of notes, ties of notes, staccati, slurs, swells, dynamics, changes
of dynamics including continuation marks, and words denoting character. This more complex system is
evident in the great majority of his manuscripts after Op. 30, and the elaborateness of his use of these
markings increase with time, so that the manuscripts of works such as Opp. 123, 125, 126, 127, 130, 131,
132, 133 and 135 have the highest levels of complexity. I would feel remiss if I did not immediately
mention Opp. 92 and 93 because these manuscripts are also spectacularly elaborate, and let me just
mention Opp. 120, 111, 109, 102, 96, 95, 90, 73, 61, 59-3, 59-2, 53, to identify a few more particularly
vibrant examples. Editors in general have treated the marks I include in this edition and that I am
describing in this introduction as insignificant variants of basic markings. Choosing just one of multiple
possible examples, when "fo", "for" or "forte" appear in the manuscript, editions have treated these all as
equivalent to "f". In contrast, I do not consider "fo", "for" and "forte" to be equivalent. I find that a wide
range of subtle distinctions is represented through the details of the way Beethoven wrote expressive
markings in his manuscripts. I find these markings meaningful and very useful in understanding the
expressive landscape of each work on both the small scale and large scale. It is for this reason that, where
possible, I personally play directly from pdf files of the manuscripts while performing, keeping in mind
corrections which occurred after the manuscript stage. In making this edition of Op. 127, I am taking a
"diplomatic" approach to representing the expressive markings in the manuscript. This approach is similar
to the approach scholars take when they create a "diplomatic" rendition of a Beethoven's sketch. In these
renderings, the pitch content and the spatial content of the sketch page are preserved but they are put into
![Page 2: Guide to reading score of Op. 127 20181221...2019/04/08 · I have tried to react to every detail of the staccato marks even in the cases where I think the apparent distinctions may](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051804/5fec0df9111c4d00b715489e/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
a more legible form. In this edition, I do not try to reproduce the spacing of Beethoven's writing on the
page, but instead focus on the accurate representation of the expressive marks, trying to represent the
marks just as Beethoven himself marked them. My hope is to allow players and scholars to more easily
discuss and evaluate the content of these markings. As of now, if one does not read the manuscript
directly, there is no way to know that this wider variety of expressive marks even exists. In terms of the
level of detail shown, though I myself have not yet perceived any meaning to the difference between "p",
"p.", and "p:", I have tried to preserve even these details of punctuation, representing whether he adds no
punctuation, a period, or a colon. I have also preserved the nature of what one sees in the manuscript
even when I personally see it as an accident. To observe one of these likely accidents one need only look
at the first bar, where "f" is probably missing in the cello part. I have tried to react to every detail of the
staccato marks even in the cases where I think the apparent distinctions may also be accidents, and this is
because I believe in the majority of cases the distinctions are not accidents and that they are in fact
intentional, clear and meaningful. So, again, looking at the very first bars, you will see I represented a few
of the staccati as the longest variety. My personal musical thought is that all the staccati in the first four
bars are probably intended to be the same type, but I am trying to let the reader judge for themselves by
being as faithful as I can to the details. My suggestion to the reader is to use this score in combination
with an urtext score such as the Henle or Bärenreiter edition. Comparing the various scores for each
passage will allow the evaluation of the meaning of the manuscript expressive marks and also allow the
evaluation of some items changed after the manuscript stage.
I will share with you here my opinion about possible meanings for each expressive mark. These opinions
have survived testing through rehearsal and performance by the Borromeo String Quartet, the group in
which I am first violinist. I fully expect that if others take interest in these markings, there will be many
different points of view concerning the meaning of these marks. This variety of points of view exists for
every expressive mark used by Beethoven, and the debate refines all of our sensitivity to what is possible in
the realization of his music.
![Page 3: Guide to reading score of Op. 127 20181221...2019/04/08 · I have tried to react to every detail of the staccato marks even in the cases where I think the apparent distinctions may](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051804/5fec0df9111c4d00b715489e/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Though I am glad that this edition will provide an easily legible document, I hope that the reader will also
view the manuscripts directly. All movements can be found online at the addresses below. I have no
doubt that each reader of the manuscripts may disagree with some of the choices that I made, particularly
regarding variety in staccato. Beethoven is often very distinct with the length of his staccati, but
sometimes he is not. The same is true for the endings of slurs and the crests of expressive swell pairs, and
many other details. I also have no doubt that despite my best efforts to proof-read the edition, there
certainly will be mistakes I have made. Despite all of this, I am very excited to share with you a document
which will provide a starting point for evaluation and discussion of this potentially wider range of
expressive marks. Speaking in general of expression marks, it seems to me that in multiple categories,
Beethoven invented distinctions that allowed him to create a more detailed description of his vision of
how the sounds would be realized. Some of these details of extreme subtlety are printed, and they are
printed whether or not there is a clear notion of how they should be played.
Consider a few subtle distinctions that ARE printed:
The distinctions of how note groups are beamed together;
The difference between a single pitch that is written as a longer rhythmic value or as a composite
of same-pitch-notes slurred together (on this there is no real agreement on how to play the marking!);
The distinctions between various "f" and "sf" marks within a passage;
The extremely detailed layering of heterogeneous slurring, often with multiple simultaneous layers
even within the piano part and the combination of these marks with the occasional use of the word
"ligato";
Subtle combinations for the piano of using pedal with combinations of rests during pedaling;
swells or even crescendo marked on single notes in the piano;
The specific usages of "sempre staccato" and "ben marcato";
The distinction between "poco cres", "cres", and "più cres";
Varieties of diminuendo markings: "decres", "dimin", più dimin", "mancando", "morendo",
"perdendo", "smorzando";
![Page 4: Guide to reading score of Op. 127 20181221...2019/04/08 · I have tried to react to every detail of the staccato marks even in the cases where I think the apparent distinctions may](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051804/5fec0df9111c4d00b715489e/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The distinctions between "semplice", "sotto voce" "mezza voce", "dolce", "espressivo", and
"cantabile"
Extreme expression markings such as "beklemmt" and "mit innigster empfindung".
Subtle instrumental instructions for orchestra such as "just a few violins" and "2 violas" and "2
cellos."
All these distinctions are printed (of course there is no question that they must be!) and they show us how
Beethoven sought out detailed refinements within each category of expressive marking. I am here
suggesting that his need to refine what he could communicate, and his invention of his own systems to do
so, was active in more categories of expressive markings than the ones I mention that have been printed.
The unprinted categories that I suggest that may also have these levels of refinement are: staccati (4 types),
dynamics (22 distinctions) and expressive swell pairs (2 types). The distinct markings that I am pointing
out that I believe show these distinctions ARE there in the manuscripts, put there in Beethoven's own hand
thousands of times in the same form, year after year. And they are present even in manuscripts such as
Op. 77, which was a fair copy that Beethoven prepared himself specifically to be used to make the plates
for printing (the marks, by the way, did not make it into the printing). And contemplating the wide range
of categories of expressive marks, it seems likely that his demand for subtle distinctions in one category
would be present in other categories as well. With dynamics in particular, what I articulate here is in stark
contrast to what I myself learned in Conservatory. I learned that Beethoven was rather austere in his
treatment of dynamic distinctions, tending to avoid "mezzo forte" or "mezzo piano" or any other subtle
modifiers to the basic "ppp", "pp", "p", "f", "ff" and "fff". What I am pointing to as most likely is that in every
category of expressive marking, Beethoven would have felt compelled to develop an independent and
personal system that allowed him to use a greater level of detail in organizing the expressive marks for his
scores. And whatever his attitude might have been regarding whether or not he could plan for these
marks to be printed, it is easy to see that in the manuscripts these more elaborate marks are present and
appear with greater and greater frequency throughout the course of his life.

OUTLINE OF THE MANUSCRIPT EXPRESSIVE MARKINGS
1. STACCATO: FOUR TYPES
Dot - a carefully formed dot
Small Line Staccato (SLS) - like a dot but with a tiny bit of length
Medium Line Staccato (MLS) - longer than the Small Line Staccato
Long Line Staccato (LLS) - longer than the Medium Line Staccato and sometimes approaching the length of
a note stem
Suggested meaning: the varying length of the mark of staccato suggests a varying energy in the initial
articulation of the note. This combines with a shortening or releasing of the note.
The Dot has the lightest energy,
Small Line Staccato - SLS - has slightly more energy,
Medium Line Staccato - MLS - has still more,
and Long Line Staccato - LLS - has the highest energy.
Different energies of articulation are often used simultaneously and this will create a particular voicing
because of the different energies, but it does not mean that instruments play different lengths. Also, these
energies are completely independent of dynamic - so one can have Long Line Staccato in pianissimo or a
Dot in fortissimo.
As I am about to bring up in connection to dynamics, it is possible some of Beethoven's techniques of
differentiation for staccato were inspired by Haydn. In his manuscripts Haydn uses at least 3 types of
staccato: Dot, Medium Line Staccato and Long Line Staccato.
![Page 6: Guide to reading score of Op. 127 20181221...2019/04/08 · I have tried to react to every detail of the staccato marks even in the cases where I think the apparent distinctions may](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051804/5fec0df9111c4d00b715489e/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
2. DYNAMICS: A SPECTRUM OF 22 DYNAMICS
In manuscripts Beethoven uses a wider spectrum of dynamics than what we see in print. In piano
dynamics, he works with the letter or letters "p" by employing horizontal lines on the stem or stems: either
2 lines, 1 line, or no line. In forte dynamics, he chooses how many of the letters of the word "forte" to use:
"f", "fo", "for" or "forte"; and how many letters of "fortissimo" to use: "ff", "ffmo" or "fortissimo". Noticing
one related use of the horizontal lines that Beethoven puts on "p", there is a mode of abbreviation that
Beethoven uses when he notates "Allegro": he puts "All" and then "o" with two horizontal lines beneath the
"o", resulting in the mark "Allo//". [Please note that in this text and in the score, I have decided to mark
the horizontal underlines using "/", so a "p" with two lines on the stem becomes "p//". I would prefer to
find a better method, but this method seems durable to the way computers read fonts.] Regarding how
many letters of a dynamic he includes, Beethoven may have taken some inspiration from Haydn. In
Haydn's manuscripts, when he wants a special emotional quality in one or more parts, he will mark
"pianiss." instead of just "pp". For Beethoven, in almost all opus numbers after Op. 30 there is active use of
dynamics that incorporates single and double underlines on the stems of the letter "p" for piano dynamics
and various numbers of letters used for the writing of the words "forte" and "fortissimo". There is also a
pair of special opposite marks: the "ffmo" I mentioned above has its opposite, "ppmo". I think the meaning
of the lines on the stem of the letter "p" is related to emotional intensity: one line has some emotional
intensity, two lines has much more emotional intensity. The underlines do not change the volume level of
the playing. An imperfect (and I stress imperfect!) analogy might be that adding one line is like adding the
mark "dolce", and adding two lines is like adding the mark "espressivo". As far as the different markings of
forte, where there are more letters it seems to serve to both identify a moment of importance in the
unfolding of the musical sequence as well as ask for greater energy. "ppmo" and "ffmo" both seem to
indicate that there is tremendous importance for that section of the music and that it should be played
with the highest intensity: "ppmo" very soft, and "ffmo" very loud. The full word "pianissimo" or
"fortissimo" seems to ask for an intensity even beyond "ppmo" and "ffmo". Here is the resulting spectrum:
![Page 7: Guide to reading score of Op. 127 20181221...2019/04/08 · I have tried to react to every detail of the staccato marks even in the cases where I think the apparent distinctions may](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051804/5fec0df9111c4d00b715489e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

3. EXPRESSIVE SWELLS PAIRS: TWO TYPES
Beethoven makes active use of expressive swells: the swell up "<", and the swell down ">". Single
expressive swells up or down are represented very accurately in print, but when they are in pairs,
"< >", there seems to be a very clear distinction for Beethoven between swell pairs that connect "<>"
[please read these as if they connect into a diamond], and pairs that do not connect "< >". Beethoven will
even correct swell pairs to reinforce the part that connects them. These distinctions are not preserved in
print except in some early editions. Actually, in Op. 127, Beethoven uses almost exclusively closed swell
pairs. What I have found over time is that the swells of all sorts are most successful musically when read
as being led by expressive intensity. A swell up is a rise to a high expressive intensity and a swell down is a
transition from a high expressive intensity to lower expressive intensity - this can amount to an expressive
accent sometimes. This change in expressive intensity will affect the dynamic but the leading agent of
change is expression. The connection or disconnection of the swell pairs is analogous (imperfectly, once
again) to a certain portion of music being under one slur, or divided into two slurs. When a pair is joined
into a diamond, there is one musical event (like one slur) which is a rise in expressive intensity joined with
a fall in expressive intensity. When the pair is separated there is an event where the expressive intensity
goes from low to high, and a separate event where goes from high to low. As I have mentioned, Op. 127
is basically full of closed (diamond) expressive swell pairs. In terms of playing, the increasing and
decreasing of expressive intensity is naturally understood, but what has been extremely helpful is to read
the expressive swells as quite directly affecting timing. The increased expressive intensity bends the time,
with the higher intensity taking more time. It does not stop the pulse, but it pulls on it. This
understanding has had enormous importance in our quartet, and it has proved an extremely reliable way
to read these markings.

SOME SPECIAL NOTATIONS USED IN THIS SCORE:
Throughout the score and in the first violin part you will see "page/system" number markers: 6/2, for
example, would indicate the 6th page of that movement's manuscript and system 2 of that page. I am
counting pages as they are referred to in pencil marks on the corners of the pages themselves, and these
do not always agree with the page numbers of an actual pdf file. These numbers aim to make it easy for
you to quickly compare the edition and the manuscript pages.
"i" on a slur means that it is a slur that spans a system change but that the spanning is incomplete. If the "i"
is to right of the bar-line, the slur was "sent" from the previous system and not "caught" on the next system.
If the "i" is to the left of the bar-line, the slur was not "sent" from the previous system but was "caught" on
the next system.
"d" on a slur indicates that Beethoven made a "decision" about the slur as he was writing it. Beethoven
seems to choose, while writing, how much music to include in the slur. There is some decision-making by
me about times when a slur has special curving because of a decision, where I will give it a "d"; and where
the slur has special curving because Beethoven was avoiding other material on the page. You may
disagree with some of my choices, but many cases are unambiguous.
"c.s." in the third movement abbreviates "come sopra". So, what you see in the score where there is "c.s"
has been copied exactly from where that material appeared earlier in the movement.
I am excited to share this score and these parts with you, and I hope this information is as inspiring for you
as it has been for me. December 21, 2018
