Thanks to ctsebius for loading the Schmelzer Violin soantas. For the 'Sonatas from the manuscript tradition', is there any possibility that the seprarate violin part could be loaded onto the site too pease?
Many thanks.

Hi,
DTOe are not intended to be a practical edition. I doubt there are the separate parts for performance.
Regs,
Ctesibius

Actually, for some of the small scale works, (e.g. one instrument plus continuo) certain volumes of DTÖ did have separate parts – for example, the Biber Mystery Sonatas did, albeit the solo violin part had errors strewn all the way through it…

As for ensemble works, I haven't heard of parts existing for these (which is why I typeset some of the Biber vocal works a few years ago).

Obviously it would be comparably easier to do a typeset of just the violin part from the Schmelzer to match the score, than to completely retypeset the score and extract the part.

Cheers, PML
