Breitkopf&Härtel comunica la publicación de la primera edición Urtext de Noches en los jardines de España. Impresiones sinfónicas para piano y orquesta de Manuel de Falla,^* preparada por Ullrich Scheideler, profesor de teoría musical de la Universidad de las Artes de Berlín y de la Universidad Humboldt de Berlín, asistente de investigación en la Arnold Schönberg Complete Edition, su principales áreas de trabajo son la música de la II Escuela Vienesa y la edición de obras musicales del siglo XVIII a principios del XX.

Reproducimos a continuación la nota remitida por Breitkopf&Härtel sobre la nueva edición de Noches en los jardines de España que, debido a razones de copyright, no puede ser comercializada en España ni Francia. 

Composed by Manuel de Falla during his lengthy residence in Paris, these three symphonic impressions for piano and orchestra are an expressive work bringing the southern Spanish gardens, which are laid out in the European and Arabic-Moorish tradition, to life. The influence of contemporary French music is noticeable in this composition. 
Despite many modifications, involving among other things, the scoring, number of movements, as well as layout and content, the basic idea of a nocturnal impression is retained from the outset. 
The work was finished – and likewise the orchestral material – only shortly before its premiere on 9 April 1916, which was a great success. World War I prevented its publication, though further performances followed, played then from manuscript material. 
The Urtext edition presented by Ullrich Scheideler takes as the main source the first edition of the score. The Critical Report gives detailed information about the source situation.
