Ahh, the eternal question about whether Beethoven was classical or romantic...

Is light a particle or a wave?

Looking up some Bach cantatas and discovered a couple of minor problems... 1. There is something wrong with the file of BWV 53 ("Schlage doch gewunschte Stunde") - any attempt to download it yields only a blank page. 2. I cannot find BVW 200 ("Bekennen will ich seinen Namen") - d...

In Australian news just in today...the cost of licence fees for playing background music in restaurants, clubs, gyms and other venues is about to increase sharply, in some cases by 2000-fold. http://www.theage.com.au/national/ill-have-a-little-elvis-with-that-thanks-20090613-c6sy.html Cafe and resta...

Re: Hardingfele vs Nyckelharpa... No, it is not. The closest relative would be the viola da gamba, or any other stringed instrument with resonance strings. The hardangerfiddle is played as a normal violin, but it has 4 (5) resonance strings (most commonly tuned like the melody from "morning moo...

It might be, as well as it might be an alto bassoon, as well something completly different... For all we know it might be a strange russian instrument RK have just made up a name for. Take norway's national instrument for instance, called Hardingfele - in english Hardanger fiddle. This instrument h...

That will teach me to try to import files from Sibley too early in the morning when there is still too much blood in my caffeine... I created a work page for "Poème, Op.16" under the composer A.A. Krein. Then my brain caught up to the rest of me and realized it was the wrong Krein (should ...

OK, how about now?

(uploaded it again, this time with a different file name - I think it seems to have worked)

OK, I have uploaded the corrected version of the violin part for the Sitt transcription of Schubert's Unfinished Symphony. Could I please ask one of the mods to delete the previous scan (which had the final page missing) and put everything in its correct place? Thanking you muchly in anticipation. A...

I also promise to scan and upload the Sitt version for piano and violin as soon as my patients leave me alone for long enough. Well, I thought I had it all scanned and uploaded...then it looks like the last page of the violin part is borked... I'll fix that as soon as I can (although I'm having com...

I've been listening to "The Magic Flute" all week driving to and from work. It's impossible to fall asleep at the wheel when listening to "The Magic Flute." Especially if one "sings" along. (I am not a morning person, and before the necessary amount of caffeine enters t...

places where the piano can leave out the lines given to the cello (second subject of the first movement is an obvious place). :-) Earworm alert!! (singing, or a reasonable facsimile thereof...) "this is the sym - pho - ny, that Schubert wrote and never finished...." (oh well, I can think ...

I know there are many versions of Schubert's "Unfinished" Symphony arranged/transcribed for piano solo, piano 4-hands, two pianos, and there is a version for piano and violin (arr. Hans Sitt). Does anybody know whether there exists a version for piano trio (piano, violin, violoncello)? If ...

Wow...that site certainly has some interesting and rare material.

Thank you to Lyle for the Fierrabras uploads so far!

Does anybody know whether this opera score exists in a piano reduction?

Aldona

I am just wondering how could you get the score of Fierrabras?I have checked many websites, there was no one selling it.Can you tell me is it possible to have one at present? Quite possibly Aldona purchased her score from one of the (now defunct) music retailers here in Gotham City, who kept a colo...
