Thanks for the reminder of just how lucky I am to have
found my current teacher.  Sometimes we do cool stuff
like comparing a full score & several different
piano-vocal editions or looking at facsimilies, and
talking about why editors might have done certain
things, and how views have changed over time.  It's
really fascinating to compare for example 19th
century, mid-20th century, and current editions of the
same piece of early music.

Io la Musica son, ch'ai dolci accenti
So far tranquillo ogni turbato core,
Et or di nobil ira et or d'amore
Poss'infiammar le più gelate menti.
