This from internal evidence of the tablatures (including the song accompaniements) which show a marked aversion to using the first course. rgds MH LGS-Europe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > To those of you who have expressed an interest in The John Wilson > Preludes that I have started posting on I am Why go through all this trouble when there's a beautiful edition available? Diapason press (DP49, Utrecht) has an edition which includes the small but readable facsimile as well as a modern transcription, excellently done by Matthew Spring. And on a more general note, whithout wanting to demean anyone's efforts, why do many people on the net spend hours of typing in music that is readily availble in good editions, facsimile and modern, while there is still music waiting to be published that is left untouched by them?
