10 Oddly enough, the computer disk containing the revisions of his dissertation that Senici kindly sent me before the publication of his work included several footnotes correcting the misinformation. These had been added after hearing my paper, ‘Mozart's La clemenza di Tito in the Early Ottocento: The Making of a Pasticcio’, at the annual meeting of the American Musicological Society in Montreal, November 1993.1 must presume that the editors at Brepols refused to include footnotes citing unpublished works.Google Scholar
