I think the people and orchestras hunting down historic instruments to
recreate the original setting for certain pieces will disagree with you
on this one.Well, I did say this with my tongue firmly planted in my cheek while transcribing some Haydn. But, despite the fact that my little group will be playing it with totally different instruments, etc. ... I'm sure that Papa would recognize his tune. My point is that a piece of paper is very "archival" ... a piece of tape or a shiny plastic disk in 100 or 200 years?
Case in point... some lute tablature from the late 1500s...
