Re: Maestro VIVALDI!!

SLUB Dresden has quite a number of Vivaldi manuscripts, if anybody has the time and inclination to import them here.

http://www.slub-dresden.de/en/collectio ... nt/?type=0

I think a few of them have been uploaded, but there are still many more.

40,000 Scores!

The counter on the main page is now reading 40,000 scores.

That's a very big number!

How shall we celebrate this important milestone?

Australian Doctor's Orchestra

I always say that "the medical profession is full of frustrated musicians" - and for the benefit of anyone who will be in Melbourne this Sunday and wants to go to a concert, I'd like to put in a plug for some of them. http://www.ado.net.au/ado/public/concerts/2009/concert2009.aspx All proc...

Re: Copy of manuscripts from the Austrian National Library

The Austrian National Library has lots of Schubert manuscripts.

http://www.schubert-online.at/

Just the thought of seeing such a valuable collection mirrored here on IMSLP makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

Re: [FEAT] - Birthdays?

I like that idea. It would be another way of drawing attention to the more obscure composers.

Plus, it would be fun checking the site on my birthday to see who I share a birthday with.

Duplicate File Submission

Hello all,

I have just uploaded the Quartet No. 2 for Flute and Strings (Op.95) by Gabrielski from Sibley - it got stuck and froze mid-upload, and then proceeded to upload the files twice.

Could I please ask one of the mods to remove the duplicates.
Thank you in advance,

Re: Arrangements You Have Made

Schubert's "Arpeggione" Sonata - solo part edited & transcribed for alto flute in G.
Still a work in progress - tidying it up and correcting bits here and there.

The next challenge will be learning to play it.
(So many good intentions, so little time to practice.)

Re: Mahler, Overrated?

Uh, oh, this is going to get emotional . . . . . Seriously, though, without making people hugely upset, just because you think someone has no talent doesn't automatically make him evil, which is the connotation associated with Satan.

Re: Problems with the Music World

I completely agree with your comment about the competitive/harsh/elitist tendencies in the classical music world. I do not exaggerate when I say that this is a major reason why I did not make music my career, and entered the world of medicine instead. We certainly had our share of horrible medical t...

Re: Opinions on Carl Maria von Weber's Works

I am not as familiar with Weber's works as I am with other composers of the same period, but what I have heard so far has impressed me a lot. At the moment his Trio in G Minor for Piano, Flute and Cello (Op.63) is on my list of Top 10 Favourite Pieces. There is something very addictive about it. And...

Trouble uploading Sibley files...

I have made several attempts at importing the Fesca Quartet No. 1 for Flute & Strings, Op.37 (4 files) from Sibley. First, there were illegal symbols in the filenames and so I saved them to my own computer under alternative filenames. Then, I have tried several times to upload them but each time...

Re: Bug Report? Bach Cantatas

Thanks for the info about BWV 200 - I heard it on a recording and thought I would try to hunt it down.

As for BWV 53 - sorry about not being more specific, it was the piano/vocal score that I was having trouble opening - it worked fine on the computer at work, it must be my home machine.
