About the French Numbers...
Hi there! It is probably better to use numeric numbers actually... just because it makes people who do not understand French be able to understand the title more :) And about the sorting, it should be sorted under P if numbers are used... is that unsatisfactory? Or were you just trying to make the two D pages sort correctly in relation to each other? --Feldmahler 01:05, 28 March 2007 (EDT)
- Oh... I did not mean to blame you at all! In fact, I thank you for trying to clean up; people don't do that nearly enough, probably because they fear not being in line with the IMSLP style. But I'd rather people try to clean up, and I correct any mistakes, than people just not cleaning up at all... because I cannot do it myself, and making mistakes are inevitable when you first start cleaning up IMSLP. For example, this numbering issue isn't even official policy, and is not yet written down anywhere (actually I'll fix this in a few minutes).
- This matter was originally something of a mess; some pages have written out numbers and others numeric. Recently, due to translation concerns, I've gravitated toward using numeric. I will be writing a title translation feature in about two months, but I think it is still a good idea to use numeric wherever possible. This includes English titles, though I haven't gotten around to cleaning them up. After all, I'm only one person... and at the rate IMSLP is expanding, it'll soon be impossible for me alone to clean up everything on IMSLP. This is also why I'd greatly encourage people trying to clean up, even if mistakes are made :) --Feldmahler 13:50, 28 March 2007 (EDT)
Can you help me?
I'm looking for Delibes Kyrie and Sanctus. I need the score or organ (piano )reduction. I hope you see this soon. Thank you in advance.
Massenet thanks
Just wanted to drop a line from one French enthusiast to another to say thank you for your contributions! I hope I'm able to round-out the Massenet page with the remainder of his printed compositions at some point in the future. Best regards, Daphnis 00:35, 9 December 2007 (EST)
Massenet scans
Hi Massenetique. Just wanted to drop you a line about the CD Sheet Music Massenet scans. I have the volume with the myriad Massenet files and was planning on going through them all, deleting the watermarks, and uploading them, but if you'd like that job it sure would free me up elsewhere. Let me know and I can email you all the Massenet files from those CDs. Best wishes. Daphnis 19:43, 22 July 2008 (EDT)
Melodies
Hi Massenetique, I added a comment over at Feldmahler's talk page. I will set up an "Edition" page to keep track of the disposition of Massenet's songs as issued by Heugel in the last years of his life up until just after his death. We can addd info over time to this page to help in the possible creation of pages to reflect the originally published configuration. My preliminary check indicates that there were at least 8 volumes available by 1914, with (usually) 20 songs per volume. They also issued versions for high and low voice. Here is the fast-and-dirty page I threw together so we can track what was originally issued by Heugel. Carolus 23:45, 3 August 2008 (EDT)
BTW, I wouldn't take the library entires I posted for the collection as gospel for French capitalization rules for title case. The English rule for Chant Provençal would be to capitalize the P, since the fist and last words in a title are always capitalized. It's certainly possible that the p should be lower case in French, but I just don't know. I know that German rules are quite different than those of English, but my impression is that French title case conventions are similar to English. Carolus 13:04, 4 August 2008 (EDT)
- And speaking of the songs, how are you doing on the CDSM songs I sent you? I'm just wondering if I should scratch them off my list or pull them back out. Thanks. Daphnis 09:01, 4 March 2009 (EST)
Scènes de bal, op.17
Dear Massenetique,
I am urgently looking for Massenet's own transcription for piano 4 hands of his "Scènes de bal", op.17 . Would you have this by chance, or do you perhaps know some place where to find it?
I'd be very thankful for any hint!!
Best regards, paolor

Massenetique,
I've added Massenet's first opera score and libretto: La Grand’ Tante. I have all 25 opera scores and other Massenet music. I am scanning them in also. Maybe we can coordinate so we don't overlap. I even have the 1872 Don César de Bazan vocal score and published libretto. The ballet Espada and the incidental music for The Cricket on the Hearth!
I was the presiden of the Massenet Society prior to it going to the University of Maine and I've collected must material. On my web site. Bob’s World of J. Massenet, you can find all the plays that he wrote incidental music and the plays & books that he based his operas on.
I also have a small library of mostly French operas and I will be uploading them as I finish scanning them.
Glad to see that there are more of us out there! Best Bob Frone
