Hi Everyone,
I suspect that I may be missing something about using on-line sound files for accompaniment of my practicing. I’m quite sure that there are sources for purchase or use out there on the internet but I’m not sure exactly how to access them or how to download these files (I probably need a teenager to show me the ropes here; anyone want to loan me one?).
I guess what I’m asking for is whether anyone can give me a quick primer on how to find and use such accompaniments for some of the repertoire like Mozart, the Concertino, or other “standards?” I am a quick learner with a great deal of computer savvy but finding the answer to this question is just out of my grasp. Perhaps someone can get me started.
Thanks,
Hank

the best midi site out there is probably www.classicalarchives.net with pretty much every single file by every single composer.
go to www.notation.com to check out "MIDI Notate". this lets you view or print sheetmusic, change tempo, extract instrument parts, transpose, option to display in concert or instrument pitch, sound playback, and some other stuff.

And with MIDI files, like I said the most complete site is classical archives. You could go to one of the main composers' pages or click on "INDEX" and you'll get a complete listing.
Some other sites:
www.midiworld.com
www.classicalmidiconnection.com

I have an old demo CD from a computer magazine that has Studio 40 on it. Because it is a demo, I can't save or print from it but I use this program constantly for playing back and playing along. Each instrument has its own tract and it scroles from right to left as it plays so it is just perfect for playing along. Unfortunately this program is long out of print and if I ever find the full non-demo program, I will snap it up in a second even though there are some far more advanced programs on the market now.

"""Each instrument has its own tract"""
I don't think whether each instrument has its own track or all of the instruments are put onto one track can be set by the program but can only be set by the person who sequenced the MIDI file.
I feel the best program for playback and viewing sheetmusic is without a doubt MIDINotate. The best program for editing music or sequencing MIDI is probable Finale.

For a good collection of midi files for the clarinet (many of which, I think, are not at classicalarchives), go to the home page for this site and click on "Music and Midi." The mirror of Oliver Seely's site has some particularly good "stuff." Also David Blumberg's files.
Best regards,
jnk
