Another Sibelius Lover
Hi. As a Sibelius lover, it's good to see someone who's associated themselves with this wonderful composer. Why didn't I think of that? Can we expect some erudite edits to the Sibelius article (I haven't checked it of recent times)? Cheers JackofOz 06:46, 20 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Actually, the "Sibelius" in my user name refers to the Sibelius notation program. I do like to listen to the music of Jean Sibelius every now and then, though. Volunteer Sibelius Salesman 19:34, 21 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Actually, after I'd posted my message, I read further and realised that your Sibelius was probably the program rather than the composer. But, hey, I've discovered a program I had never heard of, so that's a good thing.  Cheers JackofOz 00:18, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Baroque Tonartencharakter
Thanks for noticing my comments on "key of grace," "key of glory," etc. I have seen those designations referred to frequently in Christoph Wolff's essays on Bach as well as Xinh's page, which I linked at Category talk:Musical keys. Unfortunately, I have no original sources for this, although I am curious and looking. Matdaddy 06:46, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Accidental
You wrote:
 * ''For the sake of clarity, some composers put a natural in front of the accidental. Thus, if in this example the composer actually wanted the note a semitone lower than G-natural, he might put first a natural sign to cancel the previous G-sharp, then the flat.

I've never seen this in any standard literature. I have, however, seen that notation used to cancel a double accidental, going from a double-sharp to a single sharp. &mdash;Wahoofive (talk) 19:28, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I've seen this in the music of Richard Wagner and Max Reger. Volunteer Sibelius Salesman 20:47, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Image:Finale Printmusic Screenshot1.png
It's alright, I am the composer of the music seen in the picture (I made sure that I depicted one of my own compositions so that I avoid this very problem of crediting). Thanks for noticing, though. Sean MD80 talk 21:36, 22 May 2007 (UTC)


 * You should still give yourself credit. You're putting yourself in the company of Johann Sebastian Bach, Michael Haydn and Robert Volkmann. Volunteer Sibelius Salesman 19:21, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Help
Hi. Me and other user have quite different view of second movement of Symphony No.5 (Sibelius). Indeed, we have conflict on this. If you can help, please refer here and here. Hope you can give me some comments. Thanks!

PS: I am interested to know the meaning of your user name :) (Addaick 05:36, 24 August 2007 (UTC))


 * I tell all my friends how crappy Finale is and that they should switch to Sibelius, but I don't get paid for this, so I'm a volunteer salesman. Volunteer Sibelius Salesman 18:03, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
