Hans, I was not taking either side just passing on the article. As a professional the librarian puts the parts on the stand and they are never IMSLP parts. They have been corrected if page turns are a problem rectified. I was more surprised at the scope of the material IMSLP has, the numbers were staggering. Staggering to the point of an article in the NYTimes.

IMSLP is a good source indeed, but what do you think about manuscript music, which needs to be deciphered first, cleaned off mistakes & writing errors, which must be repaired first and about arranging a full score, arranging a practical edition, which can be used as performance material ? Would you & others think that be just a voluntary work without any payment ? Just joking. And most of younger players become desperate, if they have lost a part & have to write it out on music paper to save a performance. And other people have to consult dissertations about a missing accidental or a wrong note, as they know nothing about style. The next group has difficulties to decide how to play a certain piece, even a piece from preclassic or classical or romantic period, if they do not have a recording handy. And those, who know the things, should not charge a fee for the service ? Ridiculous, very ridiculous. Would the same folks with the problems and relaying on public sources like ISMLP provide their own service of what ever kind FREE ? - Guess, please. - NEVER EVER. That´s the world. Sneeking around rules, betrayal, dishonesty, etc. and denying the knowledgeable people their profit, which is even not much. In sports, this cannot happen. And all pay !!!!! ######################################################################### ### Am 22.02.2011 um 13:20 schrieb [email protected]: > An article from the NYTimes by Daniel Wakin about IMSLP and the music > publishing business. > http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/22/arts/music/22music-imslp.html?_r=1&scp=3&sq=daniel%20j.%20wakin&st=cse > > > > Debbie > > > _______________________________________________ > post: [email protected] > unsubscribe or set options at https://pegasus.memphis.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/options/horn/hpizka%40me.com _______________________________________________ post: [email protected] unsubscribe or set options at https://pegasus.memphis.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/options/horn/jasoncat%40aol.com _______________________________________________ post: [email protected] unsubscribe or set options at https://pegasus.memphis.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
