Editing Early Music is designed as a guide to editorial procedures suitable for music written from the Middle Ages to about 1830. In this revised edition the opportunity has been taken to make a number of corrections and to add a Postscript entitled `Stemmatics and Textual Criticism'. The bibliography has been updated.
Should be owned, not just read once, by aspiring editors and by all who direct performances of early music....Brief, but packed with sound advice, sensible admonitions, useful information, observation and common sense.
