This is what I mean about misrepresentation. I did not refer to OPhee's edition because it is so filled with mistakes. Mistakes that were first pointed out by Erik Stenstadvolrt in a review in Classical Guitar magazine. I "scandalously usurped" nothing of Ophee's. In fact I ignored it deliberately.
I went to the best source, the original manuscript copied by an amateur Danish guitar player, which I saw for the first time just a few days ago. It is the only source for these "Recollections of Ireland." One can see just what is in the score, not what Ophee _thinks_ might be in the score. I guess because he published it, he thinks he has exclusive rights to it. He doesn't. It's in the public domain. This first came up on some guitar list with Stenstadvolt participating. That's when I drew the Beethoven comparison,because it explained whAt the correct notes were in the introduction, F-naturals and B flats, not the F-sharps and B naturals favored by Ophee and Erik. When Eugene brought up the Beethoven connection, I remembered this slight little piece and realized it would make his point for him. The Beethoven connexction also helps to explain away some of the wrong notes which pepper the original manuscript, copied by an amateur. If Schulz (Schultz) wanted to use an Italianized form of his first name,so what? How does that detract from his stature as a guitarist/composer. "Recollections of Ireland" not withstanding.<g> To the list of Austrians with Italianized names we can add Antonio Rosetti (Anton Roessler) and Giovanni Colomba (Joh.Friedr. Daube). There's also some confusion about the spelling of Leonardo's last name. This reminds me, RT, that the Bambino guitar that once belonged to Madame Robert Sidney-Pratten, the famous English guitarist, is now in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. ----- Original Message ----- From: Roman Turovsky To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, August 12, 2005 11:55 PM Subject: [LUTE] Re: Leonardo Sciulzzo > To present this as your recent find, when you knew damn well that I > published this piece in paper format in 1984, and when it ran out of > print, I posted it on line in 1997, at which time you chose to > criticize it on RMCG, in other words, you knew that it was there, is > nothing short of a scandalous usurpation of my work.
