Misc. Notes:

scan: score scanned at 600dpi
filter: score filtered with 2-point algorithm explained in High Quality Scanning
I provide the original scanned version and the filtered, because the filter does some changes (smoothening, sharpening borders) and some portions of the scan get lost sometimes (when they are too small e.g.) - so you can choose your favorite. You may ask me for a manually cleaned version.

Misc. Notes:

Apparently a re-engraving of the Durand score above. No copyright claim. LMC 1974 (issued shortly after this score) is a critical edition by James Briscoe on which copyright is claimed. Scanned at 600dpi. Monochrome.
Some extra work has been done in erasing the titles at the beginning of each piece and placing them at the end, following the Author's wish.
