Autograph or first editions?

And no3 on an 1818 instrument, and no's 1 and 2 on 1795 instruments that would also knock your socks off. You'll hear for yourself in due course!

I'm sure he reserved the right to make changes up until publication, no?

Perhaps afterward also. The early 20th-century painter Bonnard was found in a museum working on one of his paintings which was hung there. He was coutesously but firmly escorted from the premises.

I wouldn't bring up Mendelssohn in this discussion, but since Rod already did, I recently purchased a BIS recording of his violin concerto which was the premiere recording of his original score,

With the Mendelsonn concerto I was talking from the point of view of the sound, and not the score.

Rod,
Yes, of course, it was merely your reference that put me in mind of.

I have heard some "period piano" Chopin. It was interesting, but I can't say it really made too much of a difference one way or the other.

I have the same impression overall from the few 'authentic' recordings I've heard of Romantic music. There is the dynamic and quasi baroque nature to Beethoven that really makes the most of what these instruments had to offer. Even with Mozart the difference is less pronounced. Yet with Handel I cannot suffer modern instruments under any circumstances, which probably explains why there are almost zero new Handel recordings on modern instruments.

Whilst on the subject I just bought a very good recording of the Archduke and Ghost trios on period instruments (Graf piano) by the Trondlin trio last week (Etcetera label). Recommended.
