Re: "Library" vs "Performance" editions
For some, the lack of fingering in a critical edition would an advantage in using it as a practical edition. But the lack of concern about page turns in some critical editions of the past (Schumann and Mendelssohn) and even present (Chopin National edition) can make them awkward to use.The Breitkopf...

Re: An ossia (or oppure) - is this one clear?
That looks fine, David, and I think it gets your message across. I think that your alignment of the small whole notes with the large is standard. I couldn't find examples in Gould, but if they were on a separate staff, they would align like that. You might place the start of the small "jaws&quo...

Re: So what is generally considered the best all-around Beethoven piano sonatas edition?
Must be a old story. Had a student who was married to a university pianist and would only play pieces that her husband didn't. Thankfully, I married a non-musician and got all 32 Beethoven Sonatas.

Re: What do you think?
based on the textural context, the existence of the F in the bassline already, and the resulting discomfort for pianists. It makes little sense on musical grounds. I agree totally. And since it isn't in the first French edition published around the same time, or any other edition at IMSLP, these ed...

Re: What do you think?
According to the article, Mendelssohn made particularly extensive changes and careful corrections in the proof copies for the first editions. For that reason, they are taking this measure very seriously.
Anyone have an opinion about the note? Would Mendelssohn have actually written such a note?

Anyone think Mendelssohn actually wrote the F and why?
If not, should it appear in the main text of an Urtext edition?

Re: Incomplete tuplets - yes or no?
I agree with OCTO.
My ideal notation would able to do everything, even crazy things, which might prove to be not so crazy after all. And I certainly don't want to be "protected" by the software...

Re: An ossia (or oppure) - is this one clear?
You are welcome, David. One might also put a small up stem on the A# or a small A# next to the large one as you do with the next two notes.

Re: An ossia (or oppure) - is this one clear?
It's clear as is, but I would leave off "oppure", move the upper "jaws" so it is directly over the lower "jaws" (-: add extension lines to the upper "jaws" and "clay" and give the dashed slur more dashes by changing the setting so the dashes and spac...

Re: So what is generally considered the best all-around Beethoven piano sonatas edition?
Great point, ruaraidh. It's free on IMSLP. Sometimes the best things in life ARE free. I forgot to mention the excellent page turns and engraving. Thanks, John. It's my favorite piano music. What never fails to amaze me is how different each is from the other (although there are interesting relation...
