Editor’s Note

This is the encoding of the 3rd movement of K. 80 according to the Neue Mozart-Ausgabe VIII/20/1/1 (ed. Karl Heinz Füssl, Wolfgang Plath and Wolfgang Rehm, 1966). In the digital edition, this publication is encoded as 'source_1', while the corresponding Critical Report (Wolf-Dieter Seiffert, 1989) is listed as 'source_2'.

The NMA edition is based on the autograph score (NMA siglum A), held at the Biblioteka Jagiellońska, Kraków, call number Mus. ms. autogr. W. A. Mozart 80 and the score copy (NMA siglum B) held at the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin — Preußischer Kulturbesitz, call number Mus. ms. 15430. For more information on the sources see the Critical Report.

In the digital edition, the diacritic markup of editorial interventions used in the NMA print edition (i.e. small size, italics, brackets, dashed line form) are coded as additions; as such they are marked as decisions by the editors of the NMA (@resp). Wherever possible the markup of additions affects the smallest unit that can be individually addressed, usually an element. In some cases, a distinction between supplied and un-supplied elements is made through a <choice> element. With the exception of possible corrections of obvious printing errors (marked in the code as such) the coding of the musical text is faithful to the aforementioned NMA editions. Some normalizations have been applied; for a full description of the editorial principles see the Editorial Guidelines of the DME Music Editions.

The present encoding in MEI 4.0.1 (with some minor customizations) is based on a previous encoding in DOX format. The DOX data were gained from optical music recognition (OMR) and proofreading processes developed and carried out by The Packard Humanities Institute, Los Altos, CA.

For technical reasons, it is possible that some of the original editorial markup not captured by OMR (e.g. small staccato signs) is not represented in the encoded versions.

Lacunae may be reported to the Editorial Office of the DME.
