• (Posted 2020-03-20)  CPDL #57610:     

Editor: Mick Swithinbank (submitted 2020-03-20).   Score information: A4, 9 pages, 84 kB   Copyright: CPDL

Edition notes: Original pitch and note values retained. A few emendations made, as indicated in the body of the score. Most importantly, an abrupt transition from from an accidental-free passage to a chord of E flat major is avoided, rendering the harmony as E minor instead. The subsequent transition to B flat major is not shocking in the same way, but may have swayed the copyist.
