Hi Fred, these seem to be the same as yesterday.

Perhaps Fred started uploading BEFORE he got his morning coffee

Thank you again for these.
What is it that makes these editions so valuable in the opinion of the musicologists ? What the layman that I am can admire above all is the perfect print and legibility of the edition (quite modern in my opinion), but I regret there are no fingerings nor explanations of the ornaments, grace notes, etc. Are they also particularly faithful to the manuscripts or first editions ?

I suspect it is because in many cases, other than the limited publications during the composers' lifetime, that these were the first publications of many of these composers to become available to the general public. This appears to be the case certainly with CPE Bach, according to the list in Grove. It also appears that there was no intention to 'edit' as such, but simply to copy the notes. In some cases, for example Chambonnieres, a list of ornaments is included (I think I got them in when I saw them). With regard to the reliability, that depends on the sources. If there is an error in the source, that has been continued in TDP. An example is an (upcoming) Sonata by JCF Bach for which the source was the Clementi Practical Harmony as uploaded by CS. There is an error (!) in the last movement (compared to the manuscript dated 1774, the manuscript is not easy to read) in the Clementi which is repeated in the TDP, so this must have been the source rather than the manuscript, which in all likelihood hadn't seen the light of day at that time. So I don't think you can regard it as a 'critical' or urtext edition per se. Having said that, I think on the whole it is as reliable as any other edition from the 19th century, and certainly better than some of the German publications in that regard. I would be interested to hear comments, for example, about the Beethoven sonatas, and in the last volume (20) there are works by Chopin and Mendelssohn which have bee urtexted to death, as it were.
