Very much of interest. As so often, I find this comparison almost 
heart-rending. The old engraving is so beautiful and loveable, and the 
new one so cold and mishapen – how could anyone prefer to use the new 
one[1]? …

Best, Simon

[1] Probably, they don’t; but I’ll assume there was need for a critical 
edition, and someone thought it was a good idea to reengrave the whole 
thing instead of fixing whatever issues by graphically amending the old 
engraving, in respect for its abounding virtues; and now often 
performers are stuck with such reengravings… AAAARGH!
