If you have been practicing without these errata issued by the publisher, you need to re-look again and make the amendments needed.
Let’s face it, nobody’s perfect and composers and publishers do make additional effort to ensure the final printed product is correct. However, with the amount of errata listed below, it leaves us wondering what happened since 1999? What happened to those who have bought for their performances?
And, of course, why did the Ministry of Education choose to give out ‘exam papers’ with errors?
Oh well… have fun and enjoy!
