Hi Daphnis! Just two small stylistic issues:
I've corrected both issues as an example here. Otherwise, these are very good submissions! :) --Feldmahler 23:16, 18 May 2007 (EDT)
Hi Daphnis, In the US, any work published after 1922 (in 1923 and beyond) is likely to be under copyright - for a term of 95 years after date of publication. This is especially true with Durand, who was fanatical about renewing copyrights in the US. Several of the Lucien Garban piano arrangements you've recently posted are very much under copyright in the USA as well as in Canada and will have to me removed unfortunately. Carolus 14:14, 20 May 2007 (EDT)
Hi Daphnis! Looking at the error log it seems to me like you have had more than your share of file not exist errors... can you tell me what happens (i.e. how did it get through in the end? Did you change anything for it to submit successfully?)? By the way, what browser are you using?
I've been trying to track this elusive bug for quite a while, but have not yet had any success... the main problem is that I myself am completely unable to reproduce this bug... --Feldmahler 15:53, 26 May 2007 (EDT)
Hello Daphnis, just to remind you that the work page 18 Etudes for Oboe (Bozza, Eugene) which you have created, currently doesn't have any submitted files. --Leonard Vertighel 16:24, 1 June 2007 (EDT)
Hi, do you happen to have the score for Satie's 'Vexations'?
Oh, I didn't know that... Well, thank you anyway.
I'm very pleased to find so much about Ravel in your downloads - there's a long time I look for his stuff, so thank you very much for the operas and songs you've putted here :)
About "Don Quichotte à Dulcinée" you've uploaded baryton version of the score - is that the only avaliable? Since I'm tenor looks like I'll need a transpose on the entire cycle. Anyway if it's not possible to find another version I can do this work by my own, but can you take a look about that for me?
Thanks for your interest in making Ravel's songs known and acessible. See you :)
Oh I see... Anyway I'll keep looking for a higher edition. And thanks again :)
Hi Daphnis, thanks for all the wonderful music. You asked to be contacted if someone wanted a specific French score. That's very generous of you, especially considering that you're an undoubtedly very busy grad student. If it's not an inconvenience for you, I'd like 'L'Album des Six' from 1919. I'd also be very interested in any of Durey's music that's available (of all Les Six, his music seems to be the most difficult to obtain). More specifically, I'm interested in the piano music that is no longer under copyright in the US, which should (I think) include Scènes de cirque, Op.9 (1917); Three Préludes, Op.26 (1920); Prélude et élégie, Op.28 (1921); and Two études, Op.29 (1921). I'd be grateful for any of the above. Physicist 14:14, 11 June 2007 (EDT)
I posted a question for you Re:Shostakovich on Carolus's page: are any of the pre-1923 preludes are in your book? Physicist 21:00, 13 June 2007 (EDT)
Dear Daphnis, there's some time I'm also looking for any score of this Opera. It is possible to you upload this one? Thanks for you efforts on french music :)
Oh, I see... Actualy I was looking for a french interesting opera to play/sing in a student project. Honestly I can't tell about specific parts of this opera (watched just once, I can only say that I've liked pretty much the whole material). Anyway I hope that you can upload it someday, thanks for your working on frech music! Ramir 17:47, 29 June 2007 (EDT)
L'Enfant seems to be good, despite the very nonstandart structure. I know this opera, try to work something from it. Thanks :) Ramir 22:42, 2 July 2007 (EDT)
Hi Daphnis, I think I have an email address set now (I'm not exactly a wikiologist). Physicist 15:34, 18 June 2007 (EDT)
Well, I was planning on scanning them from the original Durand editions, but the Dover reprint is just as fine! Go ahead and begin scanning, but can you tell me which songs are not included in the Dover reprint, so I can scan them? Best, Goldberg988 10:11, 25 June 2007 (EDT)
Daphnis: could you upload the rhapsody for clarinet and orchestra. It would be very much appreciated
Thanks for the clarification; I wasn't sure I was reading the jumble properly. I added the info to the article. Physicist 10:53, 28 June 2007 (EDT)
Hi Daphnis: Wow, thanks for all the scans. Now, I was trying out the Debussy Quartet 2 mains transcription (with the beautiful Durand typesetting); would you happen to know if there exists a recording of this? Seems unlikely, but I thought it wouldn' t hurt to ask from the source.
Dear Daphnis, is that possible to you upload the "Tripatos" and "chansons Flamande, écossaise, Russe" I thought you already did but I couldn't find any of them here in IMSLP. Thanks again ^^ Ramir 23:00, 19 July 2007 (EDT)
Oh, I see. Thanks anyway :) Ramir 23:55, 21 July 2007 (EDT)
Cher Daphnis, Merci beaucoup pour vos travaux sur les compositions de Ravel! I'm also a big fan of French music! My uploads are mainly Russian and modern scores. It is that I wish to have Debussy's <Pelléas et Mélisande> orchestral score uploaded, will you help me? Merci toujours! Also, I'll be glad to offer some modern scores to you.
Hommage, Maurice.
Dear Daphnis,
It seems that the "Ma mere l'Oye" you uploaded is a bit different from the original ballet (According to Pierre Boulez's DG recording). Some "intermezzos" are missing. Is your score a selected "suite" instead of original ballet? Please tell me . And could you please have a complete one uploaded?
Regards, Maurice
I mean, between each movement there's few seconds of a short intermezzo, and according to Pierre Boulez's DG recording, between "Petit Poucet" and "Laideronnette, Impératrice Des Pagodes" there is an "Interlude" (see [[1]]). Is this version not Ravel's original one ?
Dear Daphnis, It seems that you haven't uploaded Ravel's Menuet Antique orchestral score. Is it not in the public domain ? ---With this, I'll have all his orchestral works.
Where do you get so many scores? You're working in an orchestra?
Oh, that's pretty good life! I major in composition in England now, so I mainly study modern music.
By the way, please help me find the orchestral scores as showed below the title if you can and in the public domain.
Faure: Pavane,Op.50 (done) Honegger: Pacific 231 (done) Bizet: Jeux d'Enfants (done) Frank: Le Chasseur maudit (done) Ibert: Escales (not PD)
Fauré's Pavane now posted. Daphnis 11:21, 6 September 2007 (EDT)

Jeux d'Enfants suite orchestral score posted. Daphnis 20:33, 13 September 2007 (EDT)
Heya Daphnis!
Well, you've done a considerable amount of uploading for the MIT project yourself, and yes, if we all keep it this way, we'll be able to finish this before Christmas.
Concerning the plate numbers, I only write the plate numbers when they are completely visible. If they are partly visible, I try to figure out the numbers according to the date (for example, if another score of the same publisher was published in 1909 and has plate number 164XX, and I see something I'd recognise as either a 1 or a 4 in the plate number, but the score in question was published in 1907, then I'd choose 1 instead of 4), or I do my best to figure out numbers by visiting other pages, or by comparing a partly-visible number to a clearly-visible number to see if they are the same or different etc.
To answer your question, no, I don't have access to WorldCat, but since I am only starting my studies at university level on September, I guess I will have access from September onwards.
Anyway, take care and keep up the good work! Cheers! ~ jujimufu 13:41, 9 August 2007 (EDT)
Hi, Daphnis, You seem to be the expert on French piano music... I wonder if you can help with a piece I have been looking for for a long time. Chabrier's "Marche des Cipayes". If you can upload it, or perhaps even send me a message or e-mail about it, that would be really really kind. Thanks! Emj999 06:14, 16 August 2007 (EDT)
Thank you for your prompt reply. I didn't know the story behind its publisher, but the difficulty we both have had in finding it certainly backs your story up! I have exhausted all my possible avenues, so this is my last hope. It would be marvellous if you can find it. I tried to track it down via the Naxos recording, but the pianist had died a while ago. Looking forward to hearing from you. I may not check this page so often, so if you have a way to send me an e-mail if you have a result, that would be very kind indeed. Emj999 11:52, 16 August 2007 (EDT)
Thank you so much. That is fantastic! Please let me know if I can help with anything. I don't keep my scores in PDF format. But I do have a number of manuscript rarities, and I'd be happy to scan and send if I have something you want. [By the way, I am also searching for Rachmaninov's revised version of his Serenade, op.2/5 ... don't suppose you have this too, by any chance?] Emj999 00:22, 17 August 2007 (EDT)
In reply to your note, when uploading the piece, I didn't use MSPaint. Instead, I combined the TIFF files from Project Gutenberg using the default settings of Adobe Acrobat Pro. It's odd; when I viewed the PDF it seemed normal size. Should this method be avoided too? (And, if so, how do you suggest combining TIFFs into a PDF?) Any thoughts? -Ras1
Dear Daphnis, Since you were so wonderful at finding the Chabrier piece, do you mind if I try you with another rarity which I am trying to find? It's by Liszt. Before I tell you what it is, I should say that it's in only 1 library in the US, a university library. I know someone else who has approached them for it before, and the library doesn't seem keen to allow copies - although the piece is a published 19th C score. So my best chance of finding it would be if you know anyone with an amazing Liszt collection. I don't want to approach the library directly, in case I make them hold on to it even more tightly. But if you have any friends who are students in the US, who might be able to get a copy from some inter-library arrangement, or something like that, that could be useful. Unless you happen to know anyone with an outstanding Liszt collection...! Thanks! Emj999 07:44, 31 August 2007 (EDT)
Thank you for your reply. I am sorry you don't like Liszt! I know I didn't mention the name of the piece earlier, because I just wanted to sound you out on it, to begin with. If you think you might be able to help, your personal feelings notwithstanding, that would be wonderful. The piece is Liszt's arrangement for piano duet of Beethoven's Septett (op. 20). The library which has it is the University of Virginia. However, please don't approach them directly, unless you know someone there, because I think they will not agree to make a copy, and I don't want them to think that suddenly lots of people are trying to get hold of the piece. [Normally, it shouldn't matter, but I suspect that in this case it will just make them even more "possessive" about it.] Thank you! Emj999 07:04, 1 September 2007 (EDT)
Well, that would be wonderful if you can get a result. All I know is that other people have tried to get the score from that Library, and have been refused. I had no idea that the work may be available elsewhere, or had ever been republished. Can I just check that you are aware that I am talking of Liszt's duet arrangement, and not his solo arrangement? If the edition you mentioned is indeed the duet version, please tell me where or how I can get a copy. I don't mind if I have to pay for it! Thank you so much! Emj999 12:57, 1 September 2007 (EDT)
Yes, as I said, it is exceptionally rare, and as I said above, it is the duet version I want. It certainly does exist, and the University of Virginia have allowed only the first page of each movement to be copied and sent to scholars, for verification and cataloguing purposes. I don't know why they want to sit on their score. If you use their Library search function, you can see the record states that they do have the duet version. [The Neue Ausgabe is far from complete, by the way.]Emj999 13:15, 1 September 2007 (EDT)
Yes, it does exist. Go here (https://virgo.lib.virginia.edu/) and search with: liszt septett op 20 You will see the record! Thanks!
It exists!! title sheet: Grand Septuor // op. 20 de // L. van Beethoven // contenant // Adagio e Allegro con brio. Agagio cantabile // Menuetto e Scherzo. Andante con Variazioni // Andante alla marcia, e Presto / /transcrits // pour le pianoforte // par // Fr. Liszt // à deux mains - à quatre mains // Propriété des Editeurs // J. Schuberth & Comp. // Leipzig (Hambourg) & New-York. Plate no. 3885
I own a copy of the title page and pages 2, 3, 10, 11, 16-19, 24-27 [showing the beginnings of all the movements]. However I am not surprised at your scepticism. It is probably without exception the single rarest published Liszt score in the world. For some reason the Library doesn't want to make a full copy, and has only allowed the above pages for cataloguing. (Which is why I originally suggested not approaching them directly, but instead trying to use a network of friends who may possibly have it in their collection already, or otherwise a student at the University. Any outside requests for the work is likely to make them think there is some sort of increased world interest in it, which, given their previous behaviour, I thought might only make them sit on it all the tighter.) Emj999 20:21, 3 September 2007 (EDT)
I take your point! Looking forward to the Library's reply to you. You said "if they do loan it". Do you mean that you've requested the score itself (rather than asking them to give you a scan or photocopy)? I wouldn't know how to go about making a friend in the music department there! I am not from the US! Thanks for all the help. Emj999 01:22, 4 September 2007 (EDT)
I don't know how long the whole process may take. Days? Weeks? Months? Should I just keeping checking here, on this Talk page? Thanks! Emj999 19:52, 5 September 2007 (EDT)
Thanks. I am checking here every day.... Emj999 11:27, 10 September 2007 (EDT)
See here: http://imslp.org/wiki/Septet%2C_Op.20_%28Beethoven%2C_Ludwig_van%29 I hope this is what you wanted. And for the record, the music was incredibly fragile and brittle; it took me over 2 hours to scan, clean, and optimize these pages. No more requests for Liszt's music! :) Daphnis 00:24, 11 September 2007 (EDT)
You are absolutely marvellous. Having said I was checking every day, the very next day I had to go away for a few days, and have only just come back and seen that you have uploaded it. How fantastic!!! Thank you so much. Please tell me all about how you found it, where it came from, what the process was, etc, if you can bear to. Did you scan it yourself? The library actually sent you the score itself? Sorry for the questions. Longing to know the story. Emj999
Thank you. I have no idea why it had previously been so hard to get a copy. It seems that, far from not wanting to let the manuscript go, they were pleased that you were able to digitise it for them? By the way, I don't suppose there was a title page with the score, was there? Do you have a private address where I can message you? I'll tell you more of my background and interest in this piece. Emj999 02:07, 15 September 2007 (EDT)
So if it was listed as non-circulating, how did you get them to lend it to you? My previous requests to them (which had resulted only in those limited pages being given) had been for just a photocopy, not for the loan of the actual score itself. Anyway, thanks so much for your help, once again. You've done a great service to musicology. Emj999 12:20, 15 September 2007 (EDT)
Aha, ok, so that explains all. You didn't just put in a faceless request to a librarian? You were actually able to enlist the help of a friend, or professional contact? If you have an e-mail address, or any way we could correspond privately, I'd like that, if all right with you. Emj999 12:30, 15 September 2007 (EDT)
Thanks. Will do. I am a bit of a novice with Wiki, as you will see from the small number of uploads I have made. [There are a few other pieces I am responsible for, but which were uploaded by others.] It's late in my part of the world. I'll try to figure out the e-mail form tomorrow [is it the one which I need to log onto a separate site for, to send a "private message"?]. Meanwhile, if you know how to get through to my e-mail via Wiki, you're welcome to do so! Talk again soon. Emj999 12:43, 15 September 2007 (EDT)
I tried logging on to the IMSLP Forum, but wasn't able to see where to click to send a private message. If that's not the right place, then please tell me where to go! And if it is the right place, then please tell me how to do it! Thanks! Emj999 23:53, 15 September 2007 (EDT)
Thanks for telling me. I have sent a trial message. Does your reply go direct to my own e-mail address? Talk to you later. Emj999 01:07, 16 September 2007 (EDT)
Hi Daphnis! Do you have this compositions from Satie:
-Cinema (for piano, his last work)
-Mercure (ballet)
-Socrate (symphonic drama)
Oeuvres de Jeunesse:
-Allegro (his first work)
-Valse-ballet
-Fantaisie-valse
-Ogives
-Danses gothiques
-Nouvelles pieces froides
-Douze petits chorals
-L`Enfance de Ko-quo (Recommandations maternelles)
-Trois Nouvelles Enfantines
-(NOT! Veritables) Preludes flasques pour un chien (1.'Voix d`interieur' is first movement)
-Jack in the box - that is very important to me!
Maybe I want too much scores, but if you can, upload that scores. P.S.: Sorry for my not very good English and THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
From Genijalac
Socrate will be posted eventually, but probably no time soon. I have a huge stack of things backing up on my scanner that must be finished first. Daphnis 23:28, 14 September 2007 (EDT)
Hi Daphnis, appreciate what you've already done so far. And I have one more wish...Could you please post some of Satie's orchestral works (Le picadilly, Les Pantins dansent, Parade, etc.) in full score? By the way, any of Saint-Saëns' full score is also being excepted... --Maurice nuit 02:51, 9 September 2007 (EDT)
Hello Daphnis,
I would first of all like to thank you for the wonderful contributions you have made to IMSLP thus far; your uploads have already saved me a fortune on sheet music!
There are three scores by Arthur Honegger which I have been trying unsuccessfully to find, and which I believe are PD, namely, Le dit des jeux du monde, Horace Vitorieux, and the piano transcription of Rugby. Do you have access to any of these scores? Also, do you know whether there exists a piano reduction of either of the first two pieces? Any information would be most heartily appreciated. -Pierrot
Excellent! I'm in no great hurry to get these scores, but I'm glad to learn that they're in your collection and that you will eventually be uploading them. Keep up the great work! -Pierrot
Hello, Daphnis! Can you upload Satie's Danses Gothiques', "Angora Ox (piano version)" and "Uspud (piano version)"? If you can, thank YOU very much!
Daphnis 11:09, 23 September 2007 (EDT)
Hello Daphnis! Can you upload Musique d'ameublement and Socrate? And if you can please upload Cinq Grimaces pour 'Le Songe...' or Danse... Thaks for all... from Anysome.
Daphnis 11:01, 24 September 2007 (EDT)
Daphnis 22:23, 12 October 2007 (EDT)
Look, there's no reason for anyone to walk on egg shells here. I was not offended by anyones comments and directed no contempt in either my reply here or on the forum, just that I don't exactly agree with the, in my opinion, unnecessary precautions being taken to safeguard IMSLP from legal action. I do understand them and know it's a "better safe than sorry" scenario, so if the official decision here is to uphold this logic and discourage the mention of at least e-reprinters, then I will comply, of course. Daphnis 13:54, 8 October 2007 (EDT)
