Silverman" Right now, I am busy analysing some music of Harry Partch, and I'm sure that I am not the first among us to be daunted by the two greatest obstacles in such a study. It is well discussed that his tablature notation makes reading a score tedious, but it is not so well discussed that the scores themselves are relatively hard to get. I am told that the stop and go process of home-style transcriptions of Partch's music into Ben Johnston's notation has amassed to encompass almost the entire repertoire, but the contributors to this project are scattered and not coordinated. If you have transcribed or arranged any of Partch's music for his own instruments or others, I would appreciate your help by letting me know which pieces you have done, how it is notated, and for which instruments it is (if not for the originals). I can then compile and distribute a list, which will simply allow people to contact others as potential sources for copies. Adam B.
