Your tireless explorations and hours of scanning put many of us to shame, and as for the music..!
All that remains for us to do, again, is thank you from the bottom of our hearts and the tips of our piano-playing fingers!
Dear 4candles,
thank you for your kind words; they are warming my heart !
I will light a 5th candle for you!
Best regards, Alfor S. Cans
Music is a higher revelation than wisdom and philosophy (Beethoven)
Thank you Alfor, for your 3000 posts.
You had share with me............... not only rare scores that I will never ever find, not only music unknown to me, but also many of your experience in playing (I am referring to Rachmaninoff PC 3 fingering, and many others too)....
Thank you Alfor, for your 3000 posts. That is quite an amazing accomplishment. The major part of my digital library consists of YOUR POSTS.
I was quite delighted to find the Schnabel Edition of the Diabelli Veriations--these along with the Eroica variations are my favorite sets from Beethoven. Interesting that Schnabel did not edit all the Beethoven Sonatas. I have the original bound Schnabel editions and have used these primarily as a reference while the Peters Edition has been my mainstay for over 40 years.
No extermination allowed........... until we get the entire collection out (but that is not possible)
May I hijack the thread to ask a question....
what is a good FREE (downloadable) manuscript programme... and a notation programme.
Need a manuscript programme to customize manuscript paper, and a notation for some simple works (like writing out small exercise for students.... had been doing hand-written job) not for major composing work... Sibelius is too sophisticated.
Soh choon wee, I have been using Musescore for scoring which mostly does the job very well. I don't think there are many alternatives for free, open source scoring software.
