Editorial Policy

 

Many of the works published by Cat on the Keys Music are critical performing editions, which means that a thorough standard of transcription, type-setting, and editing has been adhered to in its preparation, to give an accurate representation of the composer's original text. In the preface of each work, a clear editorial policy is presented, with a commentary indicating any changes made from the original printed or manuscript material.

Where possible, multiple sources of the music are consulted and any relevant alternative readings are incorporated.

We engage consultant editors to peer-review our Critical Editions.
