Forgive me for resurrecting a previous topic, but the last post was back in July 2013 and some updated and/or new editions have either been published since then, or were published about then.
Has anybody who purchased the latest editions of Bärenreiter, Breitkopf or Leupold have any (further) comments based on your experience of using them over the past few years? And if you have experience of more than one edition, how do they compare with older editions such as Schirmer, Novello or Peters?
I am possibly considering updating from my old and 'falling-apart' complete editions of Novello - a few of my books the older ones edited by Higgs and Bridge. Of course these do not contain some of the 'additional' pieces now freshly discovered, and also contain the more dubiously attributed pieces such as the Short Preludes and Fugues and 565.
In particular and if I do update, I want a resonably scholarly correct edition - but most importantly, an edition which has the player at the forefront - good page turns, a clear layout that achieves a balance between not too many page-turns, yet not too 'crowded' on the page.
I would be very interested in any comments and views along these lines from those who have actually used them.
Many thanks in anticipation
David
