In her article on 8va (ottava) and other issues, several mistakes were made. The correct abbreviation for 2 octaves higher is 15ma which is an Italian word "quindicesima."Further in her article she said that sheet music with two treble staff signs and one bass staff was unusual and she opined that the upper two (treble) staffs' music should be played with the right hand. Sorry - the upper staff is for the singer, the grand staff below it is for the piano.
