Misc. Notes Original edition printed by John Johnston, No 97 Drury Lane, London. The scores of Nos. 1, 2 and 5 published by Hinrichsen Edition Ltd (ed. G. Finzi, London 1953) contain a number of misreadings as well as editorial bowings and dynamics. The present edition adheres as closely as possible to the original parts with a few corrections of obvious mistakes and the addition of courtesy accidentals, also dynamics when these are inconsistent between parts in the original. Acciaccaturas should be read as appoggiaturas throughout (acknowledged limitation of Finale Printmusic 2011)
