Re: Ornaments in different languages
I have no suggestions of ornaments resources in different languages, but I am wondering. Speaking of baroque ornaments, I’d say most ornaments are kept in their original language: pralltriller, coulée de tierce, appoggiatura… Some others are translated: mordente/mordent/mordant… To make things more ...

Re: Italian question
the problem with the Italian "standard" terminology is, how do you determine where it means "continue to use the pedal as normal until the end" and when it actually means "hold your foot down on the pedal constantly without lifting it until the very end of the piece"? ...

Re: Italian question
What about “Tenere il pedale abbassato fino alla fine”?

Re: Interesting notation in Henle
I think that I would play this one as a very fast roll starting on the second beat: Acciaccatura.png Precisely. I can add its name is “tierce coulée en ascendant”. A French name because it is mainly used by Couperin and other French composers. In English it’s something like “upgoing third with a pa...

Re: Italian question
However, I remember that in Beethoven times pianos had a pedal-driven action which put a felt between the hammers and the strings, named “sordino”. Am I wrong?

Re: Italian question
Here Henle says the Moonlight is to be played with the resonance pedale pressed - “senza sordini = without dampers”. https://www.henle.de/blog/en/2013/06/24/una-corda-–-con-sord-–-mit-verschiebung-how-do-i-‘mute’-my-piano/ Again, a sideways glance at Beethoven is advisable. He opens his ‘Moonlight’ ...

Re: Italian question
I’d say:
- Pedale [sempre] tenuto fino alla fine del movimento
Or
- Pedale tenuto per tutto il movimento.
Not “al fine”. “Fine” is feminine nowadays so it’s “alla fine”. Once it was used in masculine too (until the XIX century), today “la fine” means “the end”, “il fine” means “the purpose”.

Thanks NeeraWM, I didn’t know of Primerate, I’ll check it as soon as I’ll have something to print.

Re: How to print a softcover with larger spine
What about simply 5 different volumes, 1 score and 4 parts, each with its own cover? You could then have a carton box containing all of them, if you want (not necessary).
This would be my preferred solution, again it’s a cost-related issue.
More I see it, less I like Henle’s solution.

Re: How to print a softcover with larger spine
I don’t fancy Henle solution as much. Is a two-volumes solution viable? The second volume could have the form of a closeable envelope which you put the separate parts in. This could prove to be too costly, hovever. Or you could try to simplify the second volume’s making, I could give you a couple id...
