Misc. Notes Source: The original edition (available under the scores tab). Since its quality--its accuracy as well as its presentation--is very good there is no reason to post a newly typeset score. The few errors that were found (very few missing accidentals, some rhythmic errors) were corrected but not marked as corrections.
