This edition is based upon Wagner's autograph manuscript; which is the only reliable source to reproduce the composer's intentions. Besides this; the edition records changes made by Wagner during rehearsals in 1876 for the first complete performance at Bayreuth; written in on his instructions by Heinrich Porges; Hermann Levi; Felix Mottl and others. Anyone using this edition thus not only benefits from the best possible musical score; but also gains insight into the performance practice of that time.
