I scanned at 600 dpi (which obviously refers to inches on the resultant magnified image, not the microfilm), although it doesn't look nearly as clear as if I had scanned a full size score at 600 dpi (on the viewer it appeared clear enough. Perhaps there was something wrong with the focus). As for &q...

Well, I used the Canon MS 300 that was available in the library. I had a good deal of trouble figuring out how to use the device and how to make the scans look the way I wanted, but once I figured that out, it went pretty quickly. The whole thing took me about 2.5-3 hours just for the scanning (cert...

Hmm, very enlightening, Peter. Or did you mean to say that Brussels is not the capital of Belgium? What am I missing here? I'm slowly getting it all uploaded (my connection seems very slow this evening). Before you thank me, Philip, I should warn you that it was scanned from microfilm and thus is no...

Happy Holidays

Hopefully today or tomorrow I will be uploading a special score to celebrate the holiday season. Think of it as an early Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa present. Here's a hint: it's 138 MB (in total), 400+ pages, and about a famous Belgian city... Hope everyone is having a joyful holiday season. -Lyndon

My opinion: I think a student should challenge his or herself with technically difficult pieces by Liszt, etc. as soon as possible. As long as the basics of mechanism at the piano are working well, there is no need to wait until you are "ready". On the contrary, I find that it takes a grea...

I might possibly scan them in the future, but for now they are (way down) on my list

Sibley has excellent ORIGINAL editions (not reprints) of the Old Mendelssohn Ausgabe. It could be part of a later project.

For some reason, parentheses break the hyperlink. The only way I know how to fix it is to replace opening parentheses with "%28" and closing parenthesis with "%29" (the corresponding ASCII hex codes for those symbols). For example, http://imslp.org/wiki/%C3%80_Argenteau%2C_Op.40_...

I voted for Sen. Obama, and have been elated at our victory. Some students here at Eastman were also elated, and decided to have a makeshift parade at 1:00 AM until the police decided to arrest them and confiscate their instruments. So much for the 1st amendment. http://www.democratandchronicle.com/...

The best open-source (free) audio compression format is Ogg Vorbis. It gives compression rates with quality comparable to MP3s. The only downside to Ogg Vorbis is that it may not be supported by all programs. You can find more information at the wikipedia page:

A. Scriabin arrangements of Symphonies for Piano Duet

Hi guys, I'm wondering about a little gem I just found in the library. It's a 1972 Muzgiz edition of Scriabin's first three symphonies transcribed for piano duet. The first symphony was transcribed by Alexandre Winkler (1865-1935), the second by Vasily Kalafati (1869-1942) and the third symphony (Di...
