Re: Overrated, Overused, Overdone, underrated etc.

Bach...... When I was young my father told me not to worry and that I would appreciate Bach when I was an old man. So I think I must be reaching the end of middle age (certainly if we go by male life expectancy in Russia)! So no ageism intended... I never ceased to be amazed at the vast quantity of ...

Re: is IMSLP offline?

Re: Composer list

Hi,

Wording of CCL attribution in scores

I can’t sing the praises of IMSLP too loudly and whilst I can’t upload most of my collection of scores as they are still in copyright (and you already have those that in the public domain anyway!) I have been gradually adding my own under a creative commons license. I am not sure when the header on ...

Re: Harmonizing a Melody

Harmonisation implies thinking vertically but I would suggest that you think linearly as well…. A melody is just a line in sound, and is broken into phrases that take you in time from point A to B and then point B to C. etc. Sometimes there is a strong sense that the individual phrases complement or...

Re: Do you like to read?

Try some Andrei Makine - Russian born 1957 - living in France since 1987. "le testament francais" is the only novel to win both Prix Goncourt and Prix Medicis. It is a lovely read. Reading is still a live tradition in Russia... we all have a book tucked away for when you are stuck in a que...

Re: Searching for obscure Russian composer

Could this be Veniamin Fleishman born 1913 died 1941: student in Shostakovich's class... his opera Rothschild's Violin (after Chekhov's story) was completed and orchestrated by Shostakovich. see entries in wikipedia.

Re: Shostakovich?

What about DSCH?
This is their link to the hire library
http://www.chostakovitch.org/BILINGUE/hire.htm

And of course there is lots in the Philharmonia Library here (lovely to see them play from the original parts).. but I don't expect that is very useful!
