At the suggestion of several members, I have added some requisite screening questions for newly registering members. Registrants' responses will remain private.

Liz Atems replied to David's discussion Three poems by Apollinaire about Death
"That might work. I'm quite sure that I didn't see the paper icon in your Latest Works section - I knew what to look for and looked for it, it was not there. Not sure why my Firefox refuses to display the icon on that page specifically.
I guess it…"

David replied to David's discussion Three poems by Apollinaire about Death
"that's very odd -- the paper icon does show on the Latest Works page here without any problem on Firefox. But the piece is also listed under Vocal works so maybe try that if you're still having problems -- not that there's anything much to read as…"

Liz Atems replied to David's discussion Three poems by Apollinaire about Death
"Yes, I'm aware of that Reelcrafter feature but oddly, I don't see that little paper icon in my browser on your Latest page - though I do on your chamber and orchestral works pages. I just assumed you hadn't added any details there, sorry - must be…"

David replied to David's discussion Three poems by Apollinaire about Death
"Yes -- the Russian is the same used by DSCH (the transliteration is in fact quite phonetic so it wasn't too hard to put into Wordbuilder but of course you can only make out part of the text with that software at best). As for the order, did you not…"

Liz Atems replied to David's discussion Three poems by Apollinaire about Death
"David, I found the music uniformly excellent but could not make out the words, and had even to guess at the order of the poems in the rendering from your descriptions of the scoring. Evidently the order is Attentives I, Attentives II, and finally…"

Liz Atems replied to David's discussion string quartet no. 14
"Holmboe is really not primarily a melodist. I agree there - particularly in his works written after the period of the 9th and 10th Symphonies - starting around the time of his 11th String Quartet - his works are all founded on themes and motifs that…"

David replied to David's discussion string quartet no. 14
"the main changes to the new version -- apart from the new instruments -- are the increased use of dynamic contrasts and vibrato. I tried to make the rendering more lifelike, though there is still a good deal more which could be done in this…"

David replied to Gerd Prengel's discussion a powerful first Beethoven draft to write a c-minor Symphony movement - Completed
"yes, I thought the Holbergen repeats were rather excessive in context as we probably have no idea how many Beethoven would have wanted if he'd decided this work was worth keeping.

"David, I've listened twice now to the new version of your quartet, and I think it's just splendid. I struggle to make up pmy mind whether the rendering is significantly better - on my first listen, I felt that the playing was excessively "on the…"

"thank you, David, yes, I do it a bit faster and didn't do the repeatitions of expostion an recapitulation of the original recording"

David replied to Gerd Prengel's discussion a powerful first Beethoven draft to write a c-minor Symphony movement - Completed
"I actually found this piece a good deal of fun -- and found both the instrumentation and tempi more to my taste than Holbergen so well done on that (the horrible NotePerfomer string tone doesn't get in the way too much in something as lively as…"

Dear friends,would you please compare these 2 versions of an amazingly powerful first Beethoven attempt to write a c-minor Symphony movement ("Presto") from the early 1790s?.  my revised version of a completion by…

"I'll reply by email when I get a chance, David, but the short of it is, this is the toughest and most tiring move I've ever made, and there are real problems at the new place. It's going to take a while to sort it all out...

Liz Atems replied to David's discussion string quartet no. 14
"Definitely another must listen for me when I have time (in addition to your Apollinaire settings), as I was very impressed with this work in its previous incarnation. Unfortunately I am still in the process of moving, so it might be a few days…"

David replied to David's discussion string quartet no. 14
"Obviously the tiny number of people still participating here either haven't seen this or didn't like it. But anyway, the VSL solo strings are now complete and I wasted no time in updating and revising this work which definitely now has a more…"

  • Oh, and please welcome our new members, if you have a chance.
  • I've allowed a few new prospective members through. If you should observe signs of bother, abuse, or any other matter that arouses suspicion, please advise me promptly.. Thanks all.
  • Indeed, it has been solved. Thanks for the prompt response!
  • HS, I believe I've isolated the HTML issue mentioned, and I believe it's now resolved. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
  • Thanks HS. I'll investigate the matter.
  • Hmm, interesting. I just noticed that replies under the Discussion Forum do allow full HTML capabilities, but replies under Analysis & Critique don't. Maybe this is a section-specific setting that needs to be toggled?
  • It's been a while since somebody wrote something here. So I thought I'd bring up this request to allow links and attachments in comments, not just in posts. It would make it easier to have in-depth discussions without needing to create a new thread every time somebody wants to attach something to illustrate their ideas.
  • ok - that sounds like a good setting so will be interesting to see what the explanation (if any) is.
  • David, puzzling, because the site's settings at present bar members who aren't "friended" from sending private messages. I'll look into it.
  • As newest member Erica Woodward sent a message to at least one member wanting to urgently discuss something privately, it is to suspected that we have another spammer. If I remember correctly, on the old forum, prospective members had to submit a couple of sentences (which weren't posted publicly) explaining why they wanted to join the forum. I suspect spambots and others who are not serious about contributing would fall at this hurdle and I suggest something like this for possible consideration by the membership.
