Hey everyone... This is completely LAST minute but thought you may be able to offer some help.
I am doing a project on notational issues within our concert saxophone rep, as far as misprints among various editions of the same piece, published works with contemporary notation that does not have a key or introduction explaining exactly how to perform the techniques called for, etc.
I've already encountered things that I could use for the project, such as various editions of the Demersseman Fantaisie in which the written music varies from one to the next, various editions of the Grundman concertante, notational errors (including mismarked repeats, accidentals, incorrect rhythms) in the Worley Claremont Concerto, older editions of the Creston sonata, required traditional knowledge of Japanese music in able to accurately perform the Noda Improvisations etc. Anything that is flat out confusing or contradictory or would require knowledge of performance practice for a specific work will help. The presentation is for a class and needs to be about 30 minutes long, so major issues would be great that could be explored in great detail, however, anything would help. Again, I could get by with what I have, yet I could always expand upon topics with anything you all may provide.
Thanks!
