Editing
As a central part of my musicological research, I have been invited, or have received permission, to produce scholarly-critical editions of several works by various composers.  Many of the works in question have never been published; the sources for such editions therefore comprise the composer’s sketches and autograph manuscripts.

All my editions are prepared to the highest modern standards of scholarship and include an appended set of Editorial Notes, which incorporates full details of the sources used and bibliographic references; a Summary Explanation of Editorial Policy; and an Editorial Commentary, in which each alteration to the composer’s autograph is explained and the reasons for the alteration given.
