Dear Stewart,
It is the falce and unperfect aspect of modern editions, which
make me want to look at facsimiles. I want to get as close as
possible to the original text to learn as much as I can about the
music. It's an academic thing, I suppose.
It is also admirably professional
Put another way, and taking the gamut of the list which runs from the
professional to the rank amateur, how people see the facsimile is going to

So a publisher that does nothing but facsimiles, like Minkoff for example,
is using facsimiles to promotes facsimiles?
Madam Minkoff produces NOT facsimilia, BUT replicas of antique books of
various sorts, not necessarily with artistic content, for a totally
