Deutsch term

für die aufführende Musikpraxis einzigartig

Deutsch > Englisch Kunst/Literatur Musik
Für die Musikwissenschaft ebenso wie für die aufführende Musikpraxis einzigartig sind die Funde von 3 Opern italienischer Meister, die man bisher für unwiederbringlich verloren glaubte.

Not sure what they mean by "Musikpraxis" here. Also, would you agree that "exciting" sounds more natural in this context than the German "unique" ("einzigartig")? Thanks.

of unique importance for musicologists and performers alike

Attempts to elaborate on 'performers' just muddy the waters, I suspect, and 'practising musicians' might imply they haven't got their scales right yet...

extraordinary for the field of performance music

'extraordinary' is better than 'exciting'
Peer comment(s):

disagree Francis Lee (X) : "performance music" sounds like Yoko Ono playing a triangle with an I-Pod next to a cactus in the Sahara, not Verdi

Deutsch term (edited): f�r die auff�hrende Musikpraxis einzigartig

For academics, artists and opera directors alike, ... an invaluable discovery

"artists" is not strictly accurate, hence the "directors" to cover everybody (except for the tea lady, perhaps)
Peer comment(s):

agree Frosty : Aren`t they `artistes´. Artists are those with dirty smocks, berets and paintbrushes, aren`t they?
