[LUTE] Re: Page-Turners

[John Mardinly]

   I attended a performance of the Sonoran Chamber Music Series where
   Professor Thomas Landschoot, cellist, used a foot operated page turner
   with a large format iPad pro. He also had a special music stand that
   held the iPad in a clamp so that it could not fall unless the entire
   stand was knocked over by a healthy kick. It worked flawlessly while
   the other performers struggled with conventional page turns. Well, yes,
   there is a risk of the software crashing, but it is probably less than
   the risk of grabbing two paper pages or knocking the entire paper score
   to the floor with a hasty grab. The only downside I saw was that the
   flashing red status LED was visible to the audience and was a little
   distracting. However, that could be easily concealed.

   Hello Edward,
   There have been positive comments on this list about using a tablet and
   foot-operated page turner.
   I'm thinking adopting this solution when the next iPad Pro is released,
   which I believe will be within a few weeks.

      Dear Lutenetters who play basso continuo,
      Is there a preference either way for playing from bass part or full
      score, assuming both have the same figures?
      I find that playing from a score means I can get my bearings better
     but
      have to flip pages more, no easy task when both hands are occupied
     with
      playing. That's when I sometimes wish I either played from a bass
     part
      to reduce page turns or had a page-turner. Does anyone use a
      page-turner?
      Curious to hear your thoughts.
