[Finale] TAN: Mac Scanner Acrobat question
To the wisdom of the list: I have an Epson Stylus DX4250 All in one machine, which I use only as a scanner. It used to work just fine, but the combination of MacOS 10.6.x, Acrobat 9.x and the available scanner driver doesn't work any more (and hasn't for over a year): When scanning black and white in Acrobat, a preview scan works fine, but the real scan aborts after 2 seconds. The scanner driver seems to crash. My questions: Does anyone know of a fix? Or, alternatively, do other scanners still work with this combination in Acrobat, or is there a problem in Acrobat itself? Note that scanning through Apple Preview works fine, but simply doesn't cut it for me. I occasionally have to scan 100s of pages of music, and Acrobat is far better. Currently I do this through Acrobat 7, which works fine, but is not Intel optimized and painfully slow. Johannnes ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
Re: [Finale] TAN: Mac Scanner Acrobat question
If it used to work with Acrobat and still works with Preview, then it seems likely that the problem is with Acrobat. Have you tried trashing all preferences and .plist files for Acrobat? You could also look for other versions of the driver, from either Epson or Adobe.

I don't know why I didn't try trashing prefs myself, having been on Macs for like decades, this should be routine trouble shooting... I had tried for ages with all sorts of driver versions, and I was close to giving up on this scanner altogether, and now it works!

[Finale] Jazz piano dvds

Re: [Finale] Jazz piano dvds
I really enjoyed "The Universal Mind of Bill Evans" which is interview and demonstration. He is interviewed by his brother, who also played jazz piano, though not to the same level. It might be a little high-level for jazz newbies, though. There are some fantastic Ahmad Jamal trio videos from the 60s that are on YouTube, one tune per video. They were kind of precursors to modern pop music videos, shot in documentary fashion. If you are able to come across Billy Taylor's TV show from the late 50's called "This is Jazz", it is an admirable set of broadcasts, though not restricted to jazz piano by any means. All these suggestions are 40 years old, though. Others may have more modern suggestions, but I have found that mostly all you get are concert videos these days. Which is fine, don't get me wrong! But if you want a bit of background or explanation, you won't really get it.

As with most everything Bill did, the intellectual level and commitment to emotional and creative integrity is indeed high in this video. But I don't think that presents a danger to a beginning student.

I don't know of any Bill Charlap videos, but he'd be a contemporary pianist I could recommend with enthusiasm. There are YouTube clips of many pianists with diverse styles - from superhuman Art Tatum to the quirky percussive Thelonious Monk (fine examples of music architecture - maybe not so universally acceptable as demonstrations of how most would want to play the piano). There are concert videos available of Bill Evans, some very good. I did run into a nice (relatively recent) clip of Benny Green playing "Taking a Chance on Love" - quite conventional, but very good - with excellent accompaniment by bassist, Christian McBride, and drummer, Billy Drummond. I'll continue to think about this and watch for other examples.

[Finale] OT: grace note interpretation in von Weber
Hi List, A little unsure about the proper interpretation of this grace note in a Carl Maria von Weber tune. Clicking the link will download a 32KB jpg: files.me.com/ryanwbeard/dsc94z Should the grace note come before the beat? Or should it come on the beat, making the resulting rhythm 2 sixteenths followed by an eighth? Thanks! ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
Re: [Finale] OT: grace note interpretation in von Weber
Coming before the two note figure it should certainly be a short grace note (see Leopold Mozart's "Violinschule" or Daniel Gottlob Türk's "Klavierschule"). In this situation, two sixteenths followed by an eighth would be an unusual rhythm: if Weber had wanted it to sound that way, he would have written it out, as Beethoven did in the last movement of his first piano concerto (in this piece Beethoven uses both the written-out notation to indicate the two sixteenths + eighth rhythm and the notation with grace note to indicate the short snap). The old treatises disagree if such short grace notes come on or before the beat (C.P.E. Bach's examples show them on the beat whereas Leopold Mozart's show them before the beat): use your own musical taste! I think that in fact it should be so short that it would be hard to tell the difference between on and before the beat.

Clicking the link will download a 32KB jpg: files.me.com/ryanwbeard/dsc94z The link doesn't seem to be a valid link. Oops! I lied. It didn't work as a link, but it did when I pasted it into my browser. Should the grace note come before the beat? Or should it come on the beat, making the resulting rhythm 2 sixteenths followed by an eighth? What you're asking is whether they are an appoggiatura or a grace note, and unfortunately the answer is that judging by that single example it could be either. In general, however, the older practice described by C.P.E. Bach and others holds through Mozart and Haydn. It's with Beethoven that the questions start coming up. And of course von Weber was of Beethoven's generation (although 16 years younger, and a cousin of Mozart's wife, as a matter of fact). My instinct would be to treat it as an appoggiatura, on the beat, taking half the value of the main note, and to see whether that makes musical sense. I rather suspect that the use of a slash through the stem was probably not yet standardized for grace notes in von Webers's time, but I don't know for sure. And I wonder whether that slash was original, or was added by a later engraver. John -- John R. Howell, Assoc.

Re: [Finale] Jazz piano dvds (a little OT)
Thanks, Nice to be appreciated, but not so good to be thought a hero. The hero and the scapegoat are two sides of the same coin! I did work and record with George (my first jobs in New York in 1960). David Young was the tenor player, and Alan Kiger (as far as I know, still in Muncie, IN) and Don Ellis were the trumpet players. I have had occasion recently to work with the drummer from that band, Joe Hunt, who is still playing beautifully. In reference to jazz piano DVDs (let's stick to the subject), the ones with Bill Evans that I like the best are from two BBC shows hosted by Humphrey Littleton. They are released on some Japanese label and should be available. For film buffs, if you watch the whole performance, you can see the British actor, John Le Measurier, in the front row of the audience.

It has provided me with invaluable help, some amusement and even friends in the years I have subscribed to it. But, I would like people to know some of the music I am making now in Portland, so I will blow this horn once and then shut up. For those of you who are curious, you can visit . The media page has links to two videos and several audio clips. Done now. Apologies for the ego trip.

Re: [Finale] Jazz piano dvds
Writing on history of our own lifetime cannot avoid touching on politically sensitive matters, but my agenda is only about history. I am a Dane who happened to be a member of Holbæk Jazzklub until I moved out of that little town after finishing our equivalent of the US high school. In that club I have heard Oscar Peterson with Ray Brown and Ed Thigpen Stuff Smith with a local trio, my classmate Lars Rørbech on piano Earl Hines solo And my memory could come up with more if it hadn’t a dull spot with names. I missed out on Dexter Gordon and Zoot Zims, but at least DG lived in Denmark for years. The reason for all those American jazz musicians living and touring in Europe wasn’t about negligence of their music in the US. It was about US drug laws and for the younger players about not going to Viet Nam. Denmark took the opportunity in form of the Jazz Restaurant Montmartre, the formation of a new Kenton sized 20 members strong radio big band giving work to arrangers, conductors, and soloists, and then there were recording freaks with (for the period) high end equipment. Since then our drug laws have caught up and we fight the same wars as the US.
