A 41-Cent Emendation: A Textual Problem in Wheatstone's Publication of Giulio Regondi’s Serenade for English Concertina and Piano
by Allan W. Atlas: In Wheatstone & Co.’s 1859 publication of Regondi’s Serenade, there is one note that is at least highly suspect—surely the most interesting wrong or questionable note in the entire repertory of Victorian art music for the English concertina.
