Well, yes. That's the JOY of IMSLP. :-)

It's also the reason for the collaborative Urtext project I proposed,
which I'm pleased to say does seem to be sparking off some interesting
developments. Though we'll probably steer clear of the Concerto for now
given that our likely best priority (in the short term) is to focus on
works that _need_ an Urtext treatment rather than works that already
have high-quality editions.

(That's assuming there isn't a ground-breaking discovery like a complete
or even partial new manuscript coming to light. Of course, if that
happens we'll have to first make sure that it isn't a publicity stunt by
Dan for his book...:-)
