"The style of engraving used has been adopted from a practical angle of consideration, the layout of the notation conforming essentially with the manuscripts and first editions ... In cases where the 'original' notation merely corresponds to the code of printing and engraving that was formerly the rule of the day ... modern music engraving technics have been employed ... The technical aspect of the edition includes a revised system of fingering, the original Beethoven fingering being reproduced in italics"--Pref.
