Re: Songs for Bass Voice?

Hmm...if you had one or two notes higher, you could try for the Shostakovich Michelangelo Suite...that's technically written for baritone, but it's in sort of a limited range. This is an interesting question, I don't think there are many songs written for bass. Maybe some but not all of the Suite wo...

Old file version removal

For all of my own compositions on IMSLP (under http://imslp.org/wiki/Category:Gill,_Kenneth_J. ), I had originally thought that the fastest way to get them in PDF form would be to actually scan the printouts. Soon, I realized that I could take screenshots of Finale and assemble them. Yesterday, I FI...

Re: Zdzislaw Jahnke

I don't. I guess the PWM plate doesn't matter so much if the reprint is cited. Especially if a date is estimated, as it has been edited to be.
Thanks!

Re: Zdzislaw Jahnke

The part is now on IMSLP. And, since it's a reprint, how would I go about finding the PWM number (if I have to)? On the PWM site, they don't appear to offer Jahnke's edition.

Re: Zdzislaw Jahnke

OK, I looked harder (meaning on non-English sites) and found that he lived from 1895 to 1972. So I guess it was edited at an unspecified point and reprinted in 1993. There's no copyright page in the score- would the date 'November 1993' at the end of the piano score signify renewed copyright? Becaus...

Zdzislaw Jahnke

Does anyone know when this guy died? I can't seem to find anything on him, except that he held administrative positions in a Polish musical organization in the '30s and '40s. The reason that I ask is because it seems that there's no violin part of the Wieniawski Legende on this site, and I have a 'M...

Re: Your professional, academic, or social relationshipwithmusic

I started teaching myself to read and write music and compose when I was about 3 or 4 years old. I listened to a lot of Chopin and in fact used the Cortot recording and scores of the Etudes to learn to read music. Also, most of my early compositions were failed imitations of some of the more interes...

Re: In the news (sort of)

I have to agree- it's always nice to just browse through a shop (such as Presser's, which was before they closed all their stores the only nice one close to me). And Patelson's did have a fairly nice selection of Shostakovich- I got my Sikorski of the 5th and 8th Symphonies there (they didn't have D...

Re: Shostakovich's Seventh Symphony Question

I don't really think it 'means' anything in particular- they wanted heroic-sounding crap and that's what he gave them (at least, for the outer movements). Who was it who said back in the 1790s that that which an artist could put into a work was finite, but that which everyone else could derive from ...

Re: Best Composer ever

I'm not saying Testimony is evidence, it's hard to believe (for me) that anyone actually thinks it could be true. It just played into the hands of the West. But, of course, you don't need me to say that. But I think that we don't need any kind of 'reminiscences' to judge that Stalin held him back to...

All right, I put 'Composed by the uploader' in the Comments section on all three of my work pages. Will that work?

Re: Best Composer ever

(especially Opp. 15 or so to 43- before Stalin crushed him) Given the involvement of the CIA and McCarthyism, what Stalin did was no different than what the US did. Point taken, but the US didn't do that to Shostakovich, Stalin/Zhdanov/the hordes of 'musicologists'/miscellaneous hacks like Kabalevs...

All right, I tried it with Opera (Firefox didn't respond/was too slow), and it worked...should have done that.

Autotagging/Page edit problem

For some reason, I have not been able to edit any pages. When I submit edits, it just says over and over again, 'solve this simple sum' with the picture. I do, and it repeats endlessly. I realize the site is sort of under construction at this point, so I wasn't going to bring this up until it was mo...
