Subj: [kl] Correction in "Fibonacci's Dance" score
Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2009 09:17:17 -0400

Ed Lowry has caught a typographical error in "Fibonacci's Dance," my piece
for bass clarinet and piano. The clarinet player's first note in bar 47,
whether for extended range or an octave higher for an instrument without
extended range, should be D, not C.

In updating the score to work with an upgrade of the composing software, I
also transferred the same error to "Fibonacci's Dance 2," the transposition
for alto clarinet or basset horn with piano. They're separate scores,
because in order to take advantage of the lowest range of the indicated
clarinet, I needed to transpose the piano part. In the original version, the
piano part is in concert G minor with the bass clarinet in A minor. In
"Fibonacci's Dance 2," the piano is transposed to concert C minor with the
Eb alto clarinet part in A minor (same as the part for Bb bass clarinet);
while the basset horn part is in G minor. That means the first note in bar
47 for the alto clarinet should be clarinet D and for the basset horn,
basset C.

How embarrassing that I didn't catch the goof myself. Please correct it on
your printed-out sheet music. I've now fixed the score online as well.

The music is easier to find online if you don't try to use the Sibelius
Music search function right now. It's under construction and giving
surrealistic results. Instead, go to my page (below my signature), click on
the "Winds" section and follow the link to "Fibonacci's Dance." Using the
Sibelius site's "Scorch" program, you can listen or print out free of
charge. If weird things happen, please try again the next day. Sorry in
advance about any inconvenience, but the host site has been under
construction for a couple of months and the transition has been one hell of
a mess.

Thank you, Ed Lowry, for the correction!
