This volume has been specially designed as a playing edition. The noteheads are large and easily readable at the piano, and wide margins allow plenty of room for written notes, fingerings, analysis, etc. To keep the score uncluttered, no editorial suggestions of fingerings have been added to these standard texts, but measure numbers have been added for convenience.
