Thanks for that Julia.
It helps to see the full ms and makes perfect sense. The music is at least
arranged spacially the way I have suggested and the double length symbol in
the last bar shows it to be a slowed finish, again as suggested.
Writing music longhand is a slow and precise process. I have mistakes in my
own handwriten manuscript books from the pre computer days and wonder how on
earth did I miss that when I wrote it.
I feel that Dunk was distracted before he finished the piece off with the
playing symbols and sent it away unaware it was incomplete. We shall never
know.
It is a little clunky and overcomplicated in places and if it had survived
in this form in the repertoire it would have changed in a generation or so
anyhow.
Also, Francis said
I look forward to hearing Dave Shaw's recomposition of the piece.
It's formatting, not recomposition.
Cheers,
Dave
