NOTATIO

Your description of Critical Editions is just spot on, John, and I think I feel more at peace with myself for calling most of my editions "Critical Performance Edition"(s). I do indeed research all available sources, list everything in the critical apparatus BUT I also make performance-ori...

The supplementary cello part is in addition to the empty, untouched part which indeed is 100% Urtext. Henle was the first one to do this and many copied them, and for good reasons. Now, why they add fingerings to the piano part can only be explained by economical reasons: more pages, more retail cos...

This is perhaps bringing this off-topic but my knowledge and experience of Urtext vs Critical editions is different.

Wow, John! You are a true hunter! I had to look twice before noticing it... but yes, now that I see it I cannot erase it from my view! Luckily these fingerings are not Ravel's.

If that is correct, the upbeat to 54 is in the 9th 8th of the bar. Henle edition 1260, from the screenshot above inside of the Henle Libr...

... and it is a festival of wrong or forgotten accidentals!

I see ...
I believe in my re-engraving I will put the rest where it rhythmically belong.
Thank you for all the precious feedback!

Through the nkoda app I could browse the 2008 Barenreiter edition and the most recent Max Eschig one, this last claiming to be the only true updated source from the composer manuscript. Due to nkoda policies I could not take screenshots but one thing is certain: both editions keep the same mistake p...
