Why We Use Van Camp:
- It is edited from Handel’s autograph & conducting scores. Over 100 errors were corrected from previous editions.
- It has been re-engraved in modern notation, making the score cleaner and easier to read.
- It includes measure numbers.
- It includes breath marks and other useful editorial suggestions.
- The keyboard accompaniment is more manageable than the Schirmer edition.
If you already have the Schirmer edition, don’t worry. The pagination & rehearsal letters are the same as the Van Camp.
However, you will need to edit your Schirmer for measure numbers, breath marks, and occasional text placement and rhythmic corrections.
