Mozart, at all costs...


...and at all price points, it seems. While the Packard Humanities Institute is distributing Mozart's entire catalog - the entire Neue Mozart-Ausgabe - for free here, they're selling bound facsimiles of the manuscripts of his operas here "at a price that is affordable to lovers of Mozart’s music everywhere." That price is $175 for each opera.

Your choice. It seems to me that "free" is a price that is affordable to lovers of Mozart's music everywhere.
