Re: Orchestral Study Parts on CD-ROM

Yes Dwight, I think they were the ones.  The cdsheet music is a great
resource. I have at the moment three of them...violin sonatas,
Beethoven and Brahms String quartets, and the brand new violin
concertos.

While I have a considerable number of the violin concerti already, the
concerto disk is very useful for scoping out stuff I don't already
know or have sheet music for.  For those who do not have as extensive
a collection as I do (I've been at this a while) it is a good tool to
see what concerti or sonatas they might like to try.  For convenience
sake I would probably buy the print edition for page turning and other
consideration such a standard A4 size and larger print. I haven't
explored yet it these can be printed on larger paper or typefont. I
find that printing them on 8.5 x 11 to be a bit small for performance
use.
For the quartets I like these since I am always concerned about my
expensive parts wandering, especially for an ad hoc quartet. While we
usually play from print editions, I do make part and score printouts
for my collegues.
