Subj: Articulation in Mozart
Date: Fri, 8 Nov 1996 22:07:56 -0500

With the recent discussion of the difficulty of playing Mozart, I
have been itching to ask Dan Leeson about where to turn for what is
known about how these works were articulated.

Although it wouldn't be fair to ask for an exhaustive account of the
literature, I have to admit that at the moment I don't have access to
a university library and my German is a little shrecklish, so -- how
about it, Dan? What distinguishes the better editions of the Mozart
canon? Has the original instrument movement had any influence on the
scholarship? -- I have often wondered to what degree the legato
qualities of the instrument may have changed over the years.
