OK. I've put up a PDF a the first half of the score, and an MP3 of the recording. They are: http://www.dfenton.com/K612/K612.PDF http://www.dfenton.com/K612/K612.mp3 The PDF is just under a megabyte (and the scans were not good -- strange lines in them, dunno why), and the MP3 is about 10MBs (192K encoding). Comments welcome. I find the recording to be a dreadfully wrong representation of what Mozart wrote. The singer is quite good, but the bass is awful, in my opinion. -- David W.
