Re: [ARSCLIST] The waltz (was Which U.S. orchestra recorded first and Arthur Fiedler)

I couldn't think of a better way to prove my point that without completely 
annotated music, for thosw wishing to perform the music as its creators 
intended, a properly qualified recording is a defining document.

A qualified recording is one made by the creator(s) of the music or those 
known to be aware of and to deliberately implement that tradition.
