(Please forgive that little editorial bit.)

Dan - I have no idea if it will sell very much. I don't think that's =
the
right question, though. I'd replace with two:

(1) Should it be done?

Is K361 enough of a masterpiece that it's worth having such a work
"preserved" by such a scholarly work? It might not be needed now - but
without it, will performances 100 years from now suffer from its =
absence?

I vote yes.

(2) If Dan Leeson doesn't do it, who's gonna?
