Licenses are necessary because copyright does not allow anyone to make a copy without permission form the copyright holder.
Vim answered below, but I would like to add one or two points. It's asking, what is the point of open source licenses? Why not just say, "Do what ever you like"? It's a valid question.
#GLENN GOULD GOLDBERG VARIATIONS TORRENT MP3 FULL#
I'm sure they're getting the full scorched-earth treatment from music publishers, who have so badly failed at making any good use of new technologies.Įven if this post is kind of inflamatory, I think it's a question many people wonder about. It is a shame that wikifonia is having such trouble staying up lately. I learned about mXML and MuseScore when I was searching online for lead sheets to some jazz standards to learn on my chromatic harmonica, and stumbled upon wikifonia (also a very worthy project).
If anyone who has contributed to either of these is around here, you need to stand up and get a little round of applause. mXML is yet another open source project that was just so smart, so good that all the the big proprietary music editor developers had to incorporate it into their own products, because none of them had been able to come up with a flexible, portable, rich music language or format of their own. I've used them for professional, high-end projects and for little personal projects that will never go beyond my four walls. I use both all the time and donate cash on a regular basis. MuseScore and MusicXML (or mXML) are fantastic projects and wonderfully useful products. So playing this music on the piano should rightly be considered as a transcription (which is not to criticise it in any way). Both the harpsichord and clavichord afford the player less fine control over dynamics than the piano but the harpsichord allows a greater range of timbre because they often have various stops. He certainly didn't give metronome markings, because the metronome was not invented until later.Īlso, there is a lot assumed in music notation that is cultural.įinally, the Goldberg Variations was written for harpsichord or clavichord, not for the piano. a Baroque "presto" was different from a romantic one, and in any case Italian tempo indications are often also not just about tempo but also about affect. But he frequently didn't give any indication of tempo (and often when he did, the meaning has changed over time, e.g. Even so, it's not always easy to see exactly what ornament is written (I have seen the E minor arpegiando in the first section of the aria notated as both descending and ascending in different editions because the handwritten copy is note easy to read). Interpretation is required for tempo indications, dynamic marks, phrasing, various inflection marks (e.g., exactly how long is "staccato"?), ornamentation and all sorts of other stuff.īach was more precise than his contemporaries in writing ornaments that he required - the aria of the Goldberg Variations is full of ornamentation - and he lamented the common practice of performers chucking in ornaments ad libitum. Music notation is not really precise anyway. There is something in it of divinity which the ear cannot distinguish.
