Hello, I dont really think this should be listed as "Urtext", as it doesnt fully matches the manuscript.
It is better described as "Orfeo Mandozzi Edition".
Not all different bowing suggestions are dashed, there are some which are notated in full lines.
And there are a few wrong notes too (usually missing flats or naturals).
Also, there are so many bowing and fingering suggestions, that my printed score ended up full of black dots, and I wrote my own. I mean, if it is meant to be urtext, there should not be any fingerings at all, unless the author wrote... Same with up/down bows; and, those dashed lines should be added only where the author wrote inconsistently within the piece (where he was distracted and forgot previous articulations), and not where the editor thinks it is unpractical to play as written...
Still, I'm thankful for this edition being shared. I just think it shouldn't be listed as Urtext, after all, there are many editions that were possibly "based on the manuscript".
