Klarinet Archive - Posting 000622.txt from 1996/01

Subj: Cassazione and K581 midi files are ready for downloading!
Date: Sun, 28 Jan 1996 20:22:28 -0500
Mozart's Cassazione for oboe, clarinet, French horn and bassoon
and the K581 quintet for clarinet and strings are available
for downloading. They are in PC MIDI format. I have verified
that the file sizes are identical to those which were copied,
but I don't have music software here in my office at work.
If you don't hear further from me, everything checks out O.K.
The readme file follows, so if you aren't interested in these
files or you know the ropes of ftp pretty well you won't see
anything new. I have added the commands one can use to
read a text file without having to download it, but everything
else is the same.
The file names are as follows:
cass-1.mid;1, cass-2.mid;1, cass-3.mid;1,cass-4.mid;1,cass-5.mid;1
for the adagio/allegro, menuetto, adagio, polacca and presto
movements. For the K581 quintet they are
k581-1.mid;1, k581-2.mid;1, k581-3.mid;1, k581-4.mid;1 for the
allegretto, larghetto, menuetto and allegro movements.
Some time in the not too distant future I'll make available
the notation files for clarinet in Finale .MUS format but
things have started closing in on me at work and I have to
get serious about matters for which I'm being paid.
I would only add that the first time I played music-1 with
the first movement it was truly a joyous experience. There
are many hours of enjoyment for all of us in this new world
of music software and soundboards.
Anyway, the README file follows. Have fun.

Look at INDEX.TXT;1 to find out what is available in this subdirectory.
I have established a subdirectory, [anonymous.music], on this subdirectory
to share music files of various formats with friends and
colleagues having similar interest.
*******
What I offer so far is a mixed bag. There are .mid (midi) and .mus files
created by IBM compatible Finale 3.0. There are several "text" format
fixed-length-record music files which must first be converted with
programs indicated at the beginning of each file. I have made them
available in this format simply because we don't know yet what will
work the best with most people.
In any case, here is how you go about downloading them.
At your home prompt, type
ftp dhvx20.csudh.edu
Then, login as "anonymous"
Give your e-mail address as the password
Then type
cd music or cd [music] or maybe cd music, one of them is bound to work.
At the ftp> prompt, type dir to look at the names of the
available files.
Also at the ftp> prompt, type binary, to make sure the file will
not be corrupted when it is sent to you.
If you do not know the name of the file you wish to download,
use the following procedure first to download the file
INDEX.TXT;1 (either in ASCII or BINARY format) in order to
find out the identities of the various files available.
Type get
At the Local filename: prompt, type the full name of the file
you wish to download.
At the Remote filename prompt, type anything you want as the
name of the file.
You may also use one of the following procedures to look at the file
INDEX.TXT;1 without having to exit from ftp:
FTP> get index.txt tt: (This command is said to work on VAX computers
using the operating system VMS)
FTP> get index.txt - (This command is said to work on ULTRIX systems)
FTP> get index.txt "|pg" (This is said to work if you want to look at the
index.txt and have the scrolling pause from
page to page)
Finally, you may use the command get index.txt and then at the FTP> prompt,
type
SPAWN
That gets you back to your system prompt ON SOME COMPUTERS so as to be able
to look at the index in your own familiar operating system. Unfortunately,
I can't remember the command to "reconnect" to ftp. Also, it is said that
if you allow the ftp connection to lie idle for too long, you will be
automatically disconnected. Good luck!
