Thanks for that, really fascinating! It makes you wonder what other pieces are languishing in libraries and private collections, maybe the last 2 movements of Schubert's 8th?

My pleasure. Yes, I'm hoping the same for the missing pages from the finale of Bruckner's 9th!!!

Nice to see these pieces come to light, and very nice to see Ton Koopman still active and leading the way in this.
