Woah, this thread inflated!

Sorry it took so long for me to get back. (i'm finally on a good sleeping schedule)



Okay, to clear things up: Yundi Li is definitely 100% re-striking the F-sharp in the LEFT HAND at 3:30 and the repetitions. It does not sound tied over at all. Take another listen!

your use of caps, bold and underlining is really makes you sound obnoxious

FWIW, I've always thought those aspects of your posts have been fine.

The only thing is, you weren't clear on what you meant about the F# thing.

I often do the same as he did because of not having immediate access to a score with measure numbers. Most scores don't have them.

Of course another way to achieve what you asked would be to post an image of that portion of the score, but I've never done that because despite several online 'tutorials' by our members, I've never been able to do it. I don't recall if Joe's done it or if he knows how.

Even with a Paderweski edition its not always clear which variants to take. Henle editions are just as scholarly but they sometimes make different choices.

Yea, my score doesn't list the bar numbers.

but..

SHOW-OFF!!

BTW, about the Paderewski edition: It seems that it's no longer so much considered the most authoritative one. The Polish National gets the most props.

Mark I can teach you if you want to learn. It's really easy.

Sure, but please realize, lots of people have said that!

BTW, please don't make it a multi-step process. I can only do one.


(OK, maybe I could do 2.)

C'mon Mark it's gonna take more than 2 steps. Lol.

Here,

-- I have a Mac.

-- I got stuck on step 2 -- I don't see how to "copy the screen."

-- I have no idea what or where "Paint" is.

As I said, this wouldn't be easy, but thanks for trying.

Mark, it's easy to copy the screen on a Mac. Hit 'shift' and the 'Apple' key, then press '4'. Left click and drag the mouse over the portion you want to copy. Bingo! You will see a '.png' file on your desktop.

To capture a portion of the desktop, press Command-Shift-4. A cross-hair cursor will appear and you can click and drag to select the area you wish to capture. When you release the mouse button, the screen shot will be automatically saved as a PNG file on your desktop. (The file is saved as PDF in Mac OS 10.3 and earlier.)

Schirmer's printing of the Mikuli edition is a re-engraving of the original Kistner edition. There are sometimes anomalies that were the result of arcs passing from one line of the music to the next which were unclear, and might have been misinterpreted in the engraving process.

I like the look of the Henle's. I just wish they were a little more durable.

In reference to the OP, maybe Yundi Li just liked the way it sounded replaying the F#. Maybe he's so good that he only looked at the music once and had it memorized!

Jason and Damon: Thanks so much for trying some more to help me do it, but I think I'm just ineducable on this.

Jason: I have no idea how to "left click" with the Mac laptop -- not that it would help me if I did, because:

Damon: I did what you said, and it seemed (almost) to work until the last part. I got it saved on my desktop....but then how do I get it into a post?

And also: The reason I said "almost" is: Suppose the portion of the score that you want to copy starts in the MIDDLE of a score line, and extends into the next line? (As was the case in the example I was using.) I couldn't get it to include the beginning of the second line; it would only include the portion of the second line that begins at the same horizontal point where I began copying the first line. (And likewise for all additional lines.)

Have you got a mouse? I don't have a Mac so I cannot say much, but left-clicking usually means "clicking on the left button of the mouse".

Macs usually have only one button.
