George Butterworth

19 Playford Dances CM105

£5.00


Butterworth’s original manuscripts are available to see here.

They feature ‘corrections’ and I thought at first that they were Butterworth’s own revisions. There is the occasional direction ‘thicken’ and some examples of ‘thickening’ (horrible word!), none of which I felt added to these delightful arrangements: quite the contrary. I have come to believe, though, that these are Cecil Sharp’s revisions, and I have stripped them out of my edition. It is curious that Cecil Sharp published his own versions, several of which owe rather a lot to Butterworth’s, using exactly the same transpositions.

see our Butterworth page for an example of his arrangements
