Some Corrections to the Collected Edition

As is inevitably the case with such projects, a number of erroneous readings have since been noted in the original printings of this series; the Trust’s policy has been to enter the appropriate correction as the volume in question has come up for reprint. In some cases, where this has been considered unlikely in the short term, errata slips have been prepared and inserted into the stocks held by the publishers in question.

It is realized that this does not satisfactorily address the position of those who purchased the original volumes on their first appearance, especially where libraries have installed the complete series. Hence the present decision to take advantage of the general accessibility of the web to distribute the most important such information in an easily-retrievable form. To avoid unnecessary complication the principal concern here is with incorrect notes (and clefs) not obviously rectified. Dynamics, notes and accidentals easily supplied or amended by analogy are in general not considered; nor are purely “cosmetic” details concerning (e.g.) alignment or layout. Some important cases affecting tempo or other performance indications are, however, included. (The Editorial Report volume should also be consulted by all users of this Edition)
