Hi Bill, how cool that you are doing Bolmimerie! I am guessing it is no longer in print? (Sad, if so…) Did you check AHS Archives in the International Harp Archives? Perhaps it is one of the pieces that has been scanned for the digital archive project.

Thank you very much! The edition is so beautifully prepared. I would have had to read the manuscript with a magnifying glass.

Thanks for this, Carl! Are there any other corrections to the parts? Not sure if you have made any previous posts to that effect. I am looking forward to playing from your edition with my university colleagues on a November recital.

Thank you, Carl.  I agree that it is a bizarre mistake in that edition.

Thanks also for the alert about the flute note in your edition!

Thanks for the reply, Emily, and the reminder about Carl’s edition! I have not (yet) purchased his annotated work so was unable to compare directly.  I have read the Journal articles he wrote on the first two movements — fabulous scholar. I checked a 1915 manuscript found on IMSLP, and the flute part begins with the pick up to the 5th bar there, just as we are accustomed to hearing. It seems to me that leaving out an entrance is a big deal and I am just stumped over it. One would think that in the case of a discrepancy in an individual part, one should defer to the full score. Or at least defer to the way the piece has been performed for the past 100 years, from the original edition.
