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. _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
