Janna, Thank you. If we change the slur markings of those edited books, will adjudicators at festivals and competitions know that the editing of the books is not original? I suppose we could always bring the urtext edition for the adjudicator.
I have loaned an urtext to a student for this very reason. Otherwise, I would feel comfortable leaving a post-it note saying “student and teacher have altered some articulations” if I felt like it was a festival where this was appropriate. Any informed judge knows the composer didn’t write those slurs.
Thanks. I own the Masterclass Classics Level 3 and I agree with you.
I love almost all of the editing in those books! Just not that one.
Me too.@@JannaWilliamson
Always lovely insights!
