Subj: [kl] Orchestral Excerpts - my corrections
Date: Mon, 06 Apr 2009 14:39:22 -0400

I think that the combined wisdom and experience of the mailing list can
contribute to form a data base of NOTE corrections in some of the more
widely used orchestral excerpt books.Although expressive markings and
articulations can also slightly differ from publisher to publisher,
incorrect notes are, at this point, probably an easier agreed upon fix.

We all probably agree that the best way to learn orchestral excerpts is to
obtain the COMPLETE PART, but if that is not possible and you use excerpt
books, it is essential that you have, at least, the correct notes.

For me, one of the more error prone volume is Volume II of the "Orchestral
Excerpts" (McGinnis) series (International Music). Most of these misprints
are painfully obvious, but, especially for teaching purposes, fixing these
errors are important.

My corrections:

Page 10 - Brahms Sym No 3 - 1st line, measure 4, first note should be F
natural

Page 20 - Borodin Polovetski (sic) Dances - 4th line, last note in the
second measure should be G, not F

Page 25 - Stravinsky Petrouchka - 4th line, 32nd note A is missing the leger
line, and the D# grace note (2 notes from the end of the same line) is also
missing the 2 leger lines

Page 28 - Shostakovich Sym No 9 - 2nd line, 5th measure should be Db, not
D. Also, 4th line, last note should be Gb, not G.

There certainly may be other corrections needed for Volume II, and I welcome
others adding to the list of ones I might have missed.
