Many thanks, Laon.  Good of you to take the time.

It's really bugging me now.  I know I read it somewhere, but now that you've
confirmed that that encyclopedic work makes no mention of  Verdi owning a
_Tristan_ score, I wonder how much that other reference, that we both seem to
have read which does make note of it, can be trusted.  The only saving thing is
that the Budden is not, strictly speaking, a biography, and therefore may not
have deemed such mention pertinent (yes, I know that's a stretch)..

Tantalizing -- and frustrating.
