Talk:In C
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I've seen something written about this piece where it's stated that the pulse should preferably be played by an attractive woman, but the program notes on the otherminds score don't mention it; is my brain playing tricks on me again? Mindspillage (spill your mind?) 22:19, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)

- chuckle* I can't recall ever having seen that stipulation before. I've just been Googling around, and I found a report from the 2001 Western Canada Stick Seminar which says Actually, and more specifically, the instructions call for the pulse to be played by a beautiful woman on the piano. But that's all I can find, and there's no reference to where they obtained their version of the instructions. --Kay Dekker 20:23, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Hah, I found it, in the performance notes of the edition I have in print. Preferably played by a beautiful woman, indeed. Too colorful a detail to be left out. Mindspillage (spill your mind?) 22:15, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Alas, my computer is hardly a beautiful woman... --Kay Dekker 03:45, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- I also note that my (1964) printing states that players should stay with 4 or 5 phrases of each other, instead of 2 or 3 as mentioned in the otherminds score, and my instructional notes are more extensive. Mindspillage (spill your mind?) 22:25, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Excellent! I do wish that I had a copy of those notes - I made a realisation of the piece with SSEYO Koan Pro and Myriad Harmony Assistant just before Christmas (just over 25 minutes long due to software limitations, but I think rather good) working from the otherminds score, and I now do wonder rather what subtleties I may have missed. --Kay Dekker 03:45, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)
[edit] samples?
Because each performance is different, could we maybe have a few .ogg samples of versions people have done?
In an ideal world, yes, but I don't believe it's a commonly played piece, and there's always copyright issues too. 209.89.36.244 05:48, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
