Re: Orchestra librarian forum?
Seems a good idea. I'm for it.

Re: Music Theory Forum?
I found this "https://discuss.societymusictheory.org/" that was retired in 2021. None of the other places I found were that interesting.

Re: Music Theory Forum?
I'd be interested. I gave up on Reddit as they are mostly uninteresting. Too many questions come from either those who do not understand basics or those pushing "new and better" notation suggestions. Stack Exchange is ok, but like most of these sites, it discourages discussion of older (already ...

Re: OOLOI - Igor Engraver reborn
I used a demo version of Igor some 30 or so years ago, but I don't remember much. I settled on Encore (until it died) and then Finale (until it died). I never really got Sibelius. I seem to want something quite different from what Dorico provides. I am trying to learn Dorico and Musicscore.

Re: 6/8 time signature dotted minim
I don't know where I got the idea, but dotted half in 6/8 would look wrong. It seems like there would be a shift to 3/4. Were the pair of notes on different pitches, dotted quarters would sound different from a half note followed by a quarter note. I would like to see the tied notes following the ...

Re: A Question of Hearing and Notation in Beethoven
I always thought of the Beethoven opening as melodic and didn't think about harmony. After the discussion, I'd say that he's intentionally using (what may be analyzed) as an F minor arpeggiation with an F minor 64 leading to C (adumbrated with the E natural in the following triplet). When Beethoven ...

Re: Some Slurs in the “Appassionata”
I think that the lowest notes being the melody seems to be the correct interpretation. It fits the harmony. It's a rather interesting voice exchange procedure.

Re: Progressive correction in op. 54
I think you are correct. Though Beethoven did vary stuff for different occurrences of the "same" object, this seems different in that there are no other signals. I would guess that he probably would have also changed articulation or slurs or dynamics if he really wanted to move the expressivo around.

Re: Beethoven Brainteaser 2
I didn't try to play these but I did look a bit closer. I found one dissertation and one book on performance interpretation. Neither were that helpful.
From looking at part of the score (in the first posts, and a few in the literature), it seems that the domain of these markings is shorter than I ...
