Respighi - Feste Romane

So because this pubblication is made in 1929 it isn't of pubblic domain? Why? I read "Non-PD US", so United States, not European Union.... So in Italy this score should be of pubblic domain. Why this score is marked as "TB"? Technical block? What is it?
Uhm, i see. My question is: is there a -private- way to get this score? I repeat, i'm italian, not american, and this score in Italy is of pubblic domain, i've checked it.
- No, I do not privately send my scores. Daphnis 12:56, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Debussy - Images pour Orchestre
Hi,
I'm begining to wonder if we're going to need to break this up into 3 work-pages. I've got complete parts for all three just about ready to go here, and wonder if this page is going to be getting way to long as a result. There are also a couple of Peters Leipzig scores from the 1970s that will ultimately be added. Thanks for the Khamma upload!! It's a superb orchestration, in case you've not heard it. I wonder how much Debussy actually did? Briscoe seems to imply that Koechlin was only loosely supervised, with the composer (who had already been weakened by cancer by 1916) did very little if any actual scoring. Carolus 04:26, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
- Hmm, it sure would be nice to have tabbed pages right about now, wouldn't it? I suppose we could keep it in a single page (with well-defined bookmarks) until this makes the next revision. My understanding from the Lockspeiser (and elsewhere) suggests there was some slight re-composition and orchestration from partial short-score supervised by Debussy. And yes, I do have a recording and it's only too bad it's under appreciated and under performed...I'd love to have a shot at it! Daphnis 04:32, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
R & J
HI Daphnis,
What's the latest on your upload of Roméo & Juliette? Any chance to see this score available soon? Thanks.
- Probably not, unfortunately. Daphnis 19:00, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
Zelenka
No.2 is a problem also. For Canada, first published less than 50 years ago (1965). For USA, items published with notice after 1963 are automatically renewed. Sorry, Carolus 04:06, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
- Ah, I forgot about that one...Daphnis 04:11, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
Instrument userboxes
Hi. Just for your info, I suggest you not use xx-4 templates on the instrument list (like the "ob-4" you posted) unless you play the instrument for a living, because it says "professional." ClassicalComposers 22:22, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
- That is correct. Daphnis 22:23, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
Deleting Files
Hi. How do you delete files you upload by mistake? ClassicalComposers 01:22, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
- You don't, an admin does. However, unless there are copyright issues, it is frowned upon to ask for a file to be removed- in other words, just because someone wants it to be. KGill talk email 01:27, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
Magnard, Symphony No.1
Just a few words to thank you for this nice and unexpected contribution.--Matthieu 06:23, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
- Symphony No.2 (manuscript also) coming in the week or so. Daphnis 13:38, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
ropartz string trio
Daphnis, como estas? sabes estoy interesado en tener el string trio de ropartz que tu haz subido, hay forma de que obtenga eso?....te pregunto además, si tienes material para viento y string trio..(oboe o flute).... muchas gracias.
- Hola, no tengo material para viento y strings. Si interesado en tener el original, [comprala]. Daphnis 22:58, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
Also re Magnard symphony 1
Thanks!! (I have Plasson's EMI recording. I already have the 3rd in score, courtesy of a Munich firm, but had never seen the 1st before, manuscript or otherwise.) (Thanks for uploading the Ropartz trio, also, which I had seen in score but not recently.) Eric 09:07, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
Magnard 2
Bis repetita: thanks for your second incredible Magnard contribution ! I have a couple of questions about Maganard's symphonies: do you known if/where they have actually been edited ? do you have access to other manuscripts ? I also noticed something strange on page 53 (numberdc 55) of your scan of symphony n°1 : is it a problem with the copy you used or an unfortunate folding of the page in the scanner ? And last thing: sorry for my stupid CR of Bloch's Jewish Poems, the 1918 publication date obviously cancels the 1945 copyright claim.--Matthieu 18:16, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
- Hi Matthieu. I don't know of any other edition or publication of the first 2 symphonies and I could probably gain access to other manuscripts, but for my purposes, I aim to gather his complete works. It just so happened that the first two symphonies were never published via engraving, so manuscripts were the only option. And the odd-looking page (numbered) 55 in the first symphony is correct. The notes appearing before the blank half are to proceed to the next page, and if you take a listen to your recording, this lines up properly. Daphnis 22:36, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
- For what it's worth (and if it's permissible to mention) editions of 3 and 4 and some other (published) Magnard works are available here -- www.musikmph.de/musical_scores/genre/genre_eng.html (pocket scores based on the original publications, with new prefaces in some cases.) Eric 01:35, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, and I'll be scanning 3 and 4 from their series soon (they're reprints, after all). Daphnis 01:36, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks! I have their no.3 (a gift for writing a preface for one of their other editions- some Reger I think) but insufficient patience, software, etc. to scan it myself and make the background look good. It does confirm me in my belief that the listening experience is that much more heightened with an occasional score-reading, and explained what some have said about Magnard's "austerity" too :) Eric 01:42, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Eric 01:35, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
- Indeed you are right about page 55 ! About the fact that symphonies 1 & 2 may never have been engraved, this is sad but not that much surprising. It is well known that Magnard had terrible difficulties to been recognized during his lifetime (even with the strong support of more established friends like Ropartz), and many of his compositions were published under his name. But if conducting an orchestra with a manuscript is perfectly possible, I just wonder how did the orchestras (e.g Plasson with Toulouse Capitole Orchestra of T. Sanderling with Malmo Symph. Orch.) managed to record these symphonies. Probably manual copies of parts have been produced for this purpose, which brings us back to the early days of occidental music. Seems that Magnard's time as not yet come... but, who knows, with IMSLP...--Matthieu 09:09, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
Unfortunate discovery - Puccini
The libretti for both Suor Angelica and Gianni Schicchi, by Giovacchino Forzano (1884-1970), are evidently not free in Canada. We cannot have the vocal and full scores, or any excerpts which include text, available for download here. Ouch! Carolus 05:21, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
- That is super disappointing. I wonder if Forzano fell into some copyright wormhole we could exploit. Daphnis 12:49, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
If there's one, I'll find it!! Carolus 04:04, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
Finnish translation of main page
Hey Daphnis,
I asked Carolus about adding the Finnish translated main page to the list of languages (Etusivu), and I wasn't sure whether it would be better to have the IMSLP-links in the translated page linking to the English translations of pages, or whether I should have them as red links, linking to the creation of the respective Finnish pages - so Carolus suggested I ask some other admins for their opinion :) (I am asking Peter, Perlnerd, Leonard and you - I have asked the same question exactly to all of you)
Let me know what you think - on a sidenote, my Finnish is sloppy to say the best, so we would have to find a native Finnish speaker to do the translations of the pages, as my translations of the titles might not be accurate or correct.
-jujimufu 17:14, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
- As most Finns, to my knowledge, have at least a working knowledge of English, I'd recommend linking internal links to the English versions if no X language version exists rather than linking to a null page. If this ends up being the case, is there some way where the wiki can publish a link on the top of a non X language asking the user for translation assistance? Just an idea... Daphnis 17:34, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah - that makes sense. It would also be important for them to be able to access the informatio, whether in English or in Finnish.
- I think it would be easy to create a little box on top of, say, the Contributor Portal page, which would be IFLANGed so would only appear on people visiting that page from Finland, and which would ask them to contribute to the translation, and which could in turn link to the new/under-construction page.
- This actually sounds like a good idea (although it would not guarantee that every Finnish-speaking person would see it; just the Finnish people who happen to access that page from Finland, or who access that page from a browser with Finnish as the language of preference; but it would get more than 0 people, which is always good, and we can improve things later). Do you think it would be worth it proposing it to Feldmahler to see if we could create a template which could be put on every page which needs extra help with the translation in a particular language? So the same message would appear in Finnish for Finnish-speaking people, and in Chinese for Chinese-speaking people, asking them the same thing (if the Finnish and Chinese translations of a particular page were missing/lacking in something).
- Let me know - I could start the template if you guys are busy; I know you're very busy doing a hefty part of the necessary work for IMSLP and I wouldn't like to burden you with more not-so-necessary stuff.

Aïda and Falstaff in FS
Dear Daphnis,
thanks again for extending the IMSLP collection with these excellent high-quality scans of two indispensable Verdi masterpieces. (I've been hanging out for Aïda for a while!) Best regards, Philip Legge @ © talk 03:50, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
Bachianas Brasileiras No.6, W.392 (Villa-Lobos, Heitor)... question.
Hi Daphnis... I posted in the other archive area, but I'm not really sure how this section of the site works so I thought I would post again in this area. (sorry for double posting just wasn't sure you would see the other) I'm having problems with Bachianas Brasileiras No.6, W.392 (Villa-Lobos, Heitor) I keep getting a "copyright" error. Anyway you can help with this? Thanks for your time.
- Hi Gridlock,
- which bit of the following text on the Villa-Lobos page didn’t you read?
- Regards, Philip
- THIS COMPOSER WILL BE IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN IN CANADA ON 1 JANUARY, 2010. NO WORKS WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD UNTIL AT LEAST THAT TIME. DO NOT CONTACT ADMINISTRATORS OR UPLOADERS ASKING TO RELEASE THESE SCORES.
As Philip points out, this is not yet available for download and I do not privately email scores. Please read more carefully next time. Daphnis 22:46, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
Philip...
Thanks for the reply. I'm new to this site and still do not see ":THIS COMPOSER WILL BE IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN IN CANADA ON 1 JANUARY, 2010. NO WORKS WILL
BE AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD UNTIL AT LEAST THAT TIME. DO NOT CONTACT ADMINISTRATORS OR UPLOADERS ASKING TO RELEASE THESE SCORES." anywhere on
the page for this work. I was simply asking if there was something wrong with the file because it wouldn't download. I was not asking for an email of the file. But
thanks for letting me know, just could have done it without the "you should have known" attitude. thanks
- OK, that was, in fairness on the composer page - please don't be offended, we just assumed that you had gotten to the work page from the composer page. Sorry!-- Snailey Talk to Me Email me 16:02, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
Lekeu adagio
Hi Daphnis, and thanks for your kind message. By the way, thank you too for posting Ropartz's first symphony. Lekeu's adagio was more time consuming than I imagined at the beginning. In fact I started this project just after you posted the original edition. Since I uploaded it, I noticed that some bar numbers are missing. This is a problem with mixing postscript and truetype fonts. It is now fixed (using only postscript fonts). But still, I will upload the corrected version tomorrow because we have our first rehearsal tonight with this typeset and I'm almost sure some typos will emerge...--Matthieu 14:43, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
Please help! :)
User:Carolus reccomended that I contact you ( http://imslp.org/wiki/User_talk:MrLopez2681 )
I uploaded the complete version of the piano score for the ballet "The Little Humpbacked Horse" by Cesare Pugni. It was a PDF file, 27.1 MB total. The file doesn't seem to have uploaded properly ... is it to large? I would appreciate any assistance in shrinking the PDF file for upload. I have several other rare score I'd love to share. --MrLopez2681 16:05, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
- Hi. Can you tell me how you scanned this and using what hardware? Part of the reason it is so large is because there are all kinds of artifacts and "trash" in the image that add more bits unnecessarily. For example, towards the bottom of each page are a bunch of streaks. Are these present in the originals? Daphnis 16:49, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
Wagner
Cher Daphnis,
Bonjour, j'ai vu que vous parliez français, j'en profite.
Vous avez mis en ligne l'ouverture et l'acte 1 de la walkyrie de Wagner en version orchestre, il manque les deux actes suivants, serait-il possible que vous les scanniez s'il vous plait? Ce serait avec grand plaisir que je pourrais entamer la suite de l'analyse orchestrale de celle ci. Merci d'avance,
Un fervant admirateur. Diblawak
- Diblawak,
- Je vais les scannier très bientôt, peut-être la semaine prochaine. Daphnis 18:38, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
- Daphnis,
- Je vous remercie énormément ! Diblawak 22:27, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
Gwendoline
Since things get added so fast now in such number that they disappear from the main page listing, I thought you might like to see the full score, which is now available. Carolus 23:49, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
- I did see it! I'm glad to see it available here; another fantastic addition to the site. Well done, and fine quality, to boot. Daphnis 03:22, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
- @Carolus: That would be why we have featured scores...and why it's on the "upcoming" list ;)-- Snailey Talk to Me Email me 03:50, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
