Current/ongoing projects

  • Improving quality of workpage metadata: updating work info fields to align with current practice, fixing typos, etc. This is an ongoing, occasional maintenance effort on my part.
  • Improving coverage of first editions for some works of interest to me, especially for works that only have a first edition reprint.

Past projects

Domenico Scarlatti workpages

All of Scarlatti's keyboard sonata workpages now list every relevant catalogue number currently tracked by IMSLP. I posted some important early editions of Scarlatti sonatas that are sourced from catalogues and urtext editions, including the Roseingrave edition and three volumes published by Boivin and Le Clerc. A larger effort was to complete the task of splitting each of sonata from Longo's edition, ensuring all 545 sonatas in that edition are available on every sonata workpage. I also created collection templates for the massive Venezia and Parma manuscript collections, to more easily enable future work at splitting those manuscripts.

Lists of works

Seeing that Charles Gounod's list of works page was "under construction", I took a look at improving the page. It ended up being a pretty arduous task, mostly given the complexity of the catalogue. I also refreshed Bartók's list of works page, added a new page for Domenico Scarlatti, and expanded the page for Gabriel Fauré.

J.S. Bach manuscript coverage

I helped improve coverage of J.S. Bach manuscripts, so far just for the Inventions and Sinfonias. The table below lists the manuscripts currently available on IMSLP and several others that would be nice to add in the future. Many of these manuscript sources are linked from the Inventions and Sinfonias Bach Digital landing page and the listed subpages.

Earliest contributions

  • Sanity checked external "scanner" links to SLUB scores. These links should redirect successfully to a web viewer of the score. To carry out the sanity checks, I used a Python script to detect the affected work pages using the mediawiki API. The script had the user-agent header "imslp-query/0.0.1 (User:Pnorcks)". Actual edits were made in-browser.
  • Updated the Witvogel publisher page to transclude the list of published works.
  • Uploaded a few more Witvogel editions not yet available on IMSLP.
  • Uploaded my first scan, the Witvogel edition of Scarlatti's Essercizi per gravicembalo with the alternate title "XXX Sonate per il Clavicembalo solo" ("30 Sonatas for solo Harpsichord").
