Rossini La Pietra del Paragone

The vocal score listed as complete seems unlikely to be exactly that - it includes material (including the overture) from La Cenerentola, (modern performances use that for Tancredi, which is closer in date of composition) and seems to ignore extended ensembles and choruses altogether, though it does include duos and a quartet. The numbering would appear to be the publisher's, not Rossini's. I'm not saying it should be withdrawn - simply recatalogued.
