Thanks to Dan for clarifying the menuetto(s). I don't know about the coda.
I'll take another look this evening at home.

I'd like to second what he said about Krommer. As I was sequencing one
after another of the 13 partitas I became increasingly impressed with the
composer's handling of the partita form with the limitations of the
instrumentation as Dan earlier pointed out. We're trying to put together
some kind of Krommer festival in southern California. I don't think it
will ever get off the ground but one of my motivations for doing so is my
understanding that Krommer composed around 40 partitas but only 13 have
ever been published. A little publicity and it's just possible that some
unpublished manuscripts might surface in unlikely places.

By the way, of the 13, only one on my Web page has articulation and
dynamics added at this time. While I wait for our new university server to
become operational I have to put up with my free 100 MByte site with NBCi
(which is really slow to come up sometimes). That site has all of my
offerings. The 13 Krommer partitas also are ready for download on the old
site (I had to remove everything else because of space limitations). Here
are the two URLs:

http://members.nbci.com/Oliver_Seely/clarmusi.htm

I'm looking for a better caption for the picture at the second site to
replace my lame attempt. All suggestions will be cheerfully received.

Oliver
