Since its publication in 1985, Editing Early Music has been the guide to editorial procedures suitable for music written from the Middle Ages to about 1830. For this revised edition, Caldwell has made a number of corrections, brought the bibliography up to date, and added a Postscript on stemmatics and textual criticism.
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.
