Re: Notating a bar
But in my experience, the note distribution in piano music written by the finest composers (=great musical thinker) who were also fine pianists is almost always the best distribution. The reason is that they didn't compose music and then fit it to the hands of a pianist. The composition and the act...

Re: Notating a bar
I would remove the rests in the latter third of the measure as they add visual clutter and the beaming already conveys distribution between the hands.

Re: How to beam this?
I agree with John—his notation is much simpler and conveys just as much information.

Re: cross staff or not?
B without question, though most of your rests are redundant when compressed onto just one stave.

Re: MuseScore 4 Beaming
To my eyes, the old beaming is far superior and obviously more musical. I'm amazed that anyone could call this progress.

Re: Henle then and now
While I agree that the modem Henle output is decidedly inferior to their previous work, it is also miles ahead of almost every other publisher with the possible exception of Wiener Urtext. Choosing between this or something from even a major esteemed publisher like Bärenreiter's new Beethoven editio...

Re: The biggest scandal in music publishing
Malcolm Bilson takes everything he finds in the old treatises to extremes and produces caricatured performances, then takes other performers to task as "romanticist" for not agreeing with his extremes. As an organist who has actually read through the treatises and writings by Neumann (than...
