IMSLP Forums

To the people who are getting impatient and frustrated over this, please consider the amount of time and work going to getting IMSLP back online, and it doesn't happen overnight. Plus, put yourself in the administrator's shoes, would you rather make promises that you can't keep? What will other peop...

Pardon me, even though I know this is about posting some scores to the wishlist, but can somebody please translate the above posts as not everybody speaks Italian and French.

You might also be interested in W. A. Mozart's Serenade in B-flat (Gran Partita) for 13 wind instruments -

If one substitutes the double bass with the double bassoon, then the serenade will become a true opus for wind ensemble.

That is very impressive. This is also very useful for transcribing the full orchestral score of sacred and/or secular vocal works to a vocal or piano score.

By the way, aldona, "Kritische Durchgesehene Gesammtausgabe" can be translated as "Critically revised complete edition".

So that would mean if the song is transposed, most of the time the piano part would have to be rewritten? A tedious task indeed.

Hang in there. IMSLP will be back up.

I agree. Singers would use a vocal score when rehearsing or performing an operatic or sacred work, this not only saves page turns, but the score would be lighter and thinner than a full score. Referring to transposing a song though. It would be easy for a singer to transpose a step or two for conven...

If you have MS-DOS you can use a utility called midi2wav to convert MIDI to WAV files. However, since most people use Windows I doubt this utility (or the old operating system itself) still exists. The other method should work. It goes like this: Open your MIDI file on media player (or any program w...

And don't forget me. I'm just 200 behind ArcticWind7

On a related note, will the new IMSLP be allowed to use the original domain name of www.imslp.org or will it have to be changed (and use country specific domains like .us or .ca)?

I found a site where the sheet music for Bergamasca under the second suite of Ancient Airs and Dances (Antiche danze ed arie per liuto) by Ottorino Respighi are listed: http://www.ottorinorespighi.it/catalogo_db.php?gruppo=4 The second suite should contain Bergamasca if the individual titles of the ...

And with the issue of the editors, I think Canadian law looks at the nationality of the editors and publication + 25 year rule, which is used to determine which editions of the Neue Mozart Ausgabe are PD in Canada.

That's fine with me.

And regarding the source of Daphnis' quote, it is from a section of IMSLP that currently only the admins have access to, for copyright tagging purposes.

Would it be possible for us non admins to just see the page but cannot alter or edit anything?

Hi Generoso, No offense but it may also be helpful to provide some information about the editor too, since any work which is originally PD might be rendered copyrightable if it has been edited by an editor (depending on the nationality). Since Henry Schradieck was born in the last century (1846) I t...

I agree with the method employed by Hyperion by counting the songs in the song cycles individually.
