Hélène Montgeroult Cours complet - Source

[msacuthbert]

Hello all! I'm afraid I've forgotten how to add a new source for an existing file, but since there are 25 partial scores of Hélène Montgeroult, Cours complet pour l'enseignement du forte piano https://imslp.org/wiki/Cours_complet_po ... t,_Hélène) I thought worth mentioning that Wikimedia Commons appears to have a higher resolution source than anything on IMSLP at present; very helpful for reading some fingerings etc.

I had a look. Despite the presence of "pdf" in this URL, you can only obtain a 2,133 × 2,916 image of each page. The images I downloaded from Gallica are about 3300 x 4500 after margin trimming. Look at the 10-studies monochrome versions I made instead of the 3 huge color scans.

But if you succeed in finding partie 3 I welcome pages 101-104 which Gallica-Bibliothèque nationale de France has lost.

You can download an original page of Gallica at e.g.https://gallica.bnf.fr//iiif/ark:/12148 ... native.jpg
Save this image with a right mouse click. Change 103 into another page number if you want.

And the summary of the Wikimedia says page source = Gallica.
