the exact edition number, but I have one of the first editions and I also
have the ninth edition. In the ninth edition, there were changes made with
some mention in a preface. Again, I'm not sure who the editior was, the the
changes are also in a Chester publication, so they have tried to rectify the
previous mistakes. So any older recordings, would have the earlier
versions.
