IMSLP Forums

On Christmas Eve, I uploaded recordings of the violins and violas to https://imslp.org/wiki/Symphony_in_C_major_(Asplmayr%2C_Franz) performed by the phenomenal Rita Torrens. Then I started to type a message on this forum but I got sidetracked and never posted it. Or maybe I did post it and I forgot ...

It's really starting to come together now. Here is a very simple mix of Ronnal Ford's and Steve Jones's performance (no tweaking, this hasn't been in Pro Tools yet): http://www.box.com/s/sx00f2i2eeto4sssilb8 I think Ronnal did a great job, but if he nevertheless decides to record first oboe again, t...

I look forward to hearing it once the copyright review goes through, Ron. Most musicians I've worked with are perfectionists, and it sounds like you're no exception.

Horndude77 is right, the second horn at rehearsal letters B and G in the third movement is wrong for that one note that would not sound so good on the natural horn; it should read the same as at the beginning: D C G C, not D C B C. I will correct the affected horn parts next week at the latest, and ...

In the third movement, I could have chosen to do "da capo al fine" and mark in a Fine. Either way, if I made mistakes in the first section, they would be repeated mechanically in the reprise. The mistake is most likely mine, since I am certain that Asplmayr himself would have known enough ...

I've thought of other pieces for the IMSLP Orchestra, but first we should get one done, to work out the kinks and show it can be done. For a first piece I thought: it should not require a large, Mahlerian orchestra, but it should be somewhat bigger than an octet. Also, it should not be a piece that ...

The recordings don't have to be MP3s but I worry they might be way too large to post on IMSLP as AIFFs or WAVs. What you could do if that is the case is to use a Web file storage service to send me the AIFFs or WAVs but post MP3s to IMSLP. I read somewhere that at 256kbps MP3 is just as good as AIFF...

sigma: We could try you taking the oboe parts on flute for the slow movement. Michael Haydn does this in some of his Symphonies (e.g., Perger 29 in D major), and maybe Asplmayr did, too. Philip: If you can get multiple people together to do one recording that would be great: if for example, you get ...

At Matesic's request, I have slowed down the first movement Allegro vivace in the continuo and added some treble notes for those bars in the Maestoso with no bass notes. The only reason that I had previously doubted my original tempo marking of DottedHalfNote = 90 for the first movement Allegro is t...

I will. I have already asked a couple of people specifically so hopefully (depending on their schedules) we will have one of the string parts next week.

I would like to start the IMSLP Orchestra, and to have them make the world-premiere recording of the Symphony in C major by Franz Asplmayr. It would be like the YouTube Orchestra, except the players would not necessarily have to meet, and some players could play multiple instruments (e.g., a bassoon...
