The excellent Kings Music editions are still as available as before; simply the name of the company has changed to The Early Music Company. All you need do is google Kings Music - as before.
MH PS The only trouble with Clifford's editions for continuo work is that the numbers are terribly small: generally smaller than early printed sources and much smaller than most Ms sources. A big advantage of the KM editions is that an attempt is made to put page turns at natural breaks. --- On Mon, 26/10/09, Jeff <[email protected]> wrote: From: Jeff <[email protected]> Subject: [LUTE] Re: Continuo To: "List LUTELIST" <[email protected]>, "Bruno Correia" <[email protected]> Date: Monday, 26 October, 2009, 14:35 Re: getting your hands on the Bartlett edition--I had heard unhappy rumors about King's Music and recently came across this article. Looks like the music may still be available, but King's Music is no more. Very unfortunate.
