Beebe, Gwen Broude The Broude Trust for the Publication of Musicological Editions, established in 1983, is a not-for-profit organization formed for the purpose of producing scholarly editions of a quality not possible under normal commercial conditions. Among its publications are some of the most editorially sophisticated and handsomely produced musicological editions published during the past three decades. The Trust is committed to bringing together the disciplines of textual scholarship and musicology in order to produce editions of music that are responsibly prepared and methodologically innovative. This commitment has been evident in its various projects. In its Art of the Keyboard volumes, “versioning” (the strategy of printing more than one text of a work) has been employed to afford scholars and performers access to the multiple forms in which much early keyboard music circulated. The advantages of critical editing and facsimiles are inventively combined in the controversial Critical Facsimiles® series. The complex and untidy transmission of Buxtehude’s organ compositions, only one of which survives in an authoritative source, is exhaustively discussed in Michael Belotti and Christoph Wolff’s much-praised editions of these works, enabling users to understand just what the editor’s texts represent.
