Specific information available for subscribers.
A critical edition of the score with historical and analytical essays is available from Norton; it includes in addition Wagner's own concert ending of the Prelude.
An early Breitkopf "concert edition" (no longer in print except for Kalmus and Luck's reprints) omits the voice part in the Liebestod, but has a few minor adjustments in instrumentation to accommodate that absence. Its provenance is unclear, though some copies bear the note, "Arranged for orchestra alone by the composer."
