Re: Invention for Violin and Bass Guitar
Hi Sherry,
Have fun with it. I neglected to make the tempo annotation a quarter note = 115 to 135. It becomes a different piece almost at the slower tempo.

Invention for Violin and Bass Guitar
Two instruments not often heard as a duet. Thought I'd give it a try. I don't know that much about the bass guitar, so perhaps somebody might point out which double stops would require a hand the...

Re: Fred Winterling has passed away
Hi Sherry,
Thanks for the update. I think of Fred often; it's pretty hard not to miss him still. I don't know all the details, but I'm not sure I'd agree that it would be a blessing for anyone...

Re: Volume
Hi,
For what it's worth, I have many times found a no-sound problem. I check all the things Sherry mentioned and at some point remember that the computer has recently been off and the master plug...

Re: The Heather on the Hill
Hi Ralph,
"Brigadoon" has been a special favorite of mine since high school (which was a few years before retirement;) It's a fine love story, with a relevant sub-plot re-enforcing the central one....

Re: philosophy of Music
Hello,
Good luck dealing with a rather vague question. Does "classical thinkers" refer to philosophers, like Voltaire, Rousseau, Newton, Descarte, etc. Or does it refer to a group of composers,...

I have solved one problem, that of getting the file to open. I renamed Composer.exe, which I have been using all along, to 2.52.bac and read in the exe file for version 2.51. The file ...
