Subj: [kl] Looking for an early printed edition of the Mozart Concerto
Date: Mon, 1 Nov 2004 14:04:38 -0500

Hi everyone,
 
I've been getting to grips with the open-source music
notation program Lilypond (www.lilypond.org) over the
last few weeks and as a bit of a learning project I'm
thinking of entering the Mozart Clarinet Concerto (or
to start with, the solo clarinet part) for the Mutopia
Project (http://www.mutopiaproject.org/)
This site makes public domain music available to
download for free.
Anyway, I need to find a public domain edition of the
Mozart to enter, and I think that the first published
edition would be the most historically interesting to
enter (of course, once entered, anyone would be free
to create their own edition by editing the lilypond
source code).
I'm wondering if anyone on the list has a copy of the
first printed edition (which would by now well and
truly have entered the public domain...) and might be
able to send me a scanned copy of this. I own the
Breitkopf & Hartel edition from the 1880s, which is
also public domain now, but doesn't seem to have been
improved by the additional editing, so I'd rather
start from something a little nearer to Mozart's time.

Thanks in advance

Mark Cookson
