NOTATIO

my assumption as well, David.

fingers crossed that it is officially correct.
I haven't found a reference for it yet, but will keep searching.

aha, the edition I'm using is an old Schirmer edition, edited by Alwin Schroeder.
Seems to be an edition from 1914.

John, no, actually. My edition has all the busy work remaining in the lower staff in that section. It's actually in the 3rd and 4th measures of the 2nd theme (when it switches to major... the conflicts are at measure 25-30), the down-stem right hand melody, the beams are all smooshed into the spaces...

I can't seem to find the answer to this in Gould's book, so... I notate a harp glissando. Starting note... then 6 grace-note sized notes to show the required string tunings. That's all fine. It's even fine when the glissando is, for example, two hands in3rds, or 5ths... The problem arises when in oc...

there're a few spots in the sheet music where beams get messed up in the staff lines, and I keep reading the notes wrong because of this. it's very frustrating because the music itself is NOT difficult to play, but some of the easier passages are just frustrating to read because of this type of issu...

Thank-you John. Now that cannabis is legal almost everywhere I NEVER take the musical literacy nor the musicians' states of mind during rehearsals as a given. So I tend to over-write in my scores. After a disastrous reading of a band work where the percussionists came in :forte mid-way through a lov...

At the bottom of this page, the piano right hand does something, but there is no rhythmic marking to clarify it. I'm presuming that the right hand is playing 32nd note triplets (first note of each missing)? Isn't it odd that an edition from this time period would omit a detail of that sort? I might ...

thank-you John.

by the way, this is actually the first piece I entirely composed with Dorico (instead of Finale).

(to be precise, I use pencil and paper as well as the software.)

this week I had a rehearsal with the violist who is supposed to premiere the concerto, and she played the bariolage passage beautifully.
its not a fast passage, nor particular virtuosic, but it was beautifully expressive.

sounds like an F# to me.
structurally, it looks logical to have an F# there as well considering the subsequent measure.
