Breitkopf & Härtel is proud to see this recognition of a singular research achievement and warmly congratulates editor Christian Martin Schmidt on this award.

After more than 13 years of editing work, the five-volume edition of "Elijah" has been completed in fall 2022. From sketches to various versions and arrangements, along with a critical report, Mendelssohn's major work has been comprehensively made accessible in this eminent complete edition.

The award ceremony took place at the Leipzig Book Fair.
