Truly inspiring to watch a master craftsman engraving. I too was
astonished at the cutting of beams and stems without a rule, and the
virtuoso slur engraving. When you consider slurs are thinner at the
ends, there must a lessening of the graver pressure at the ends of the
slur which is incredibly subtle. Astounding technique.
The video shows the plates in the archives 'lovingly preserved'. I note
that the Henle website now has plates for sale for all of 31 euros each,
for which I understand you get a random plate. So have they decided to
disperse the collection and throw it away? Seems a great pity to lose
such a valuable reference library of engraved material.
