For a minute, try to imagine being Schubert and not being able to set to music Goethe's poems because Goethe's publisher asks you an absurd fee, or even refuses to gives you permission because he thinks Goethe's poems are worth a better musicians. This is exactly what is happening now, that contemp...

I'd like to second that - having recently discovered Schobert's music because I kept stumbling across it while searching catalogs and CD stores for "Schubert". :lol: He wrote some really nice chamber music, too. I haven't seen any sheet music yet but I'll keep my eyes open. (Edit: Have jus...

I wonder who makes the more money, the publisher with copyright thingy or the composers.. Usually when a composer is alive, trying to get their music published is like trying to get blood out of a stone...so they die young in poverty and obscurity...and then after their death, the publishers start ...

Can I just add my sentiments to those above. Let it be hereby known that neither I will not be purchasing any music or other product produced by Universal Edition, from this day forward. Even if they are the sole publisher. Let my repertoire be poorer due to the lack of such pieces, rather than one ...

(And I've tried nwc with wine, and it's just not the same, somehow) ROFLOL :lol: The soiree was lots of fun and now the NWC is now getting another use - one of my cello-playing friends was so impressed with the Schubert-Lieder that she wants me to transcribe some into bass clef for her to play on t...

That's what I meant by me being too far away from where all the experts are, to be able to evaluate it... It's probably every Schubertian's dream to stumble on a long-lost work. Just look at the Deutsch-catalog on the www.trovar.com site and note how many works are listed as "lost", "...

I was going to make a modest bid at the end of the auction if nobody else did - and then it was ended early because "the item is no longer for sale."

Interesting...

(even more confused)

I was under the impression that IMSLP was aiming "to create a virtual library containing all public domain musical scores" (as the home page states). I also noticed that each of the major composers has a list of their complete works, to which work pages are linked as they are added, so I a...

I have not made a bid yet...am still thinking... I would be very happy to stand back and let people more musically qualified than myself buy it. I am only an armchair enthusiast with very limited formal music history/theory education, and I am in Australia, far away from the people and places in Eur...

Someone on EBay claims to have a manuscript, copied by hand in the 1870's/80's, of a song by Schubert. http://cgi.ebay.com.au:80/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220155312813&sspagename=ADME:X:RTQ:AU:11 I know that Schubert would often give out songs to friends and acquaintances without retain...

Thank you...

It will have to wait until after work tonight as I'm about to dash off.

I did a bit of research and answered my own question... So I've gone ahead and uploaded the Fantaisie Pastorale Hongroise. I got so excited I couldn't stop myself, so I've thrown in Doppler's "Fantasy on a Theme of Beethoven" Op.46 and Schubert's "Introduction & Variations on 'Tro...

I've just uploaded the Fantaisie Pastorale Hongroise Op.26 by Doppler - and I've managed to screw up the title by leaving out the "e" at the end of "Pastorale". :oops: :roll: Sorry to create more work for the admins but could this be rectified please...(I'd do it myself if I coul...

Is that the Fantaisie Pastorale Hongroise, Op.26? I have a flute + piano version on my "Flute Music Library" CD, which is widely distributed through EBay. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Great-Flute-Sheet-Music-Collection-CD_W0QQitemZ170153898990QQihZ007QQcategoryZ23298QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZ...

So here I am at work, with a few minutes to kill until my next patient comes in... I look up the work page of the last Schubert song that I uploaded this morning, just out of curiosity to see how many people have looked at it. The message says "This page has been accessed 4 times." Then I ...
