[Eugene C. Braig IV] I suppose not so strange and not so different than Kreisler, Giazotto, Vasilov, Segovia/Ponce, etc. ad nauseam foisting "discoveries" (of their own concoction) in ancient music on the world. I suppose the biggest difference is that this new breed is more performance-/interpretation-driven and often has a wee nugget of actual early composition somewhere at the core.
