As a pedant I am disturbed, yes well you all know that don't you.......

As a pedant I am disturbed when I read the insert/cover of BBCMM CDs. They have always prided themselves to feature complete works, full length recordings, complete performances, and would often feature one of those phrases (each meaning the same thing) somewhere in the CD notes or on the front of the magazine. I have many gaps in my collection but maybe somewhere around 2005, Vol. 13, the publishers decided to settle for coupling TWO of the phrases FULL LENGTH RECORDINGS - COMPLETE WORKS complete with that hyphen. Some time in 2006 Vol. 15 they appear to have decided to omit the hyphen so we see in the 'spine' of the CD case FULL LENGTH RECORDINGS  COMPLETE WORKS replacing the hyphen with a double space, and this practice still continues in Vol. 16. It does disturb me that I cannot work out the reasoning behind such behaviour.

There is another example of behaviour that I cannot understand. Traditionally LP sleeve notes would say .....Orchestra conducted by Colin Davis say, or Conductor: Colin Davis and BBCMM used this good manner in the early years. Then the front cover began to use for example ..... Orchestra/Osma Vanska, but ..conducted by on the back cover, around the time of Vol. 5, sorry it was Vol. V then, and by Vol. 10 even the / was being omitted. Now in Vol. 15 we have for example:

BBC PHILHARMONIC
Vassily Sinaisky
(conductor)

So many changes in 'format' disturbs me. Well, I have to do something while listeneing to the CDs  Roll Eyes

Yes. Or, to put it another way, to confuse percieved incompetence/ dishonesty on the part of a composer with real ignorance of/ unwillingness to grasp his or her intentions.

But when it says 'ay' then it's the other way.

(Not that I'm saying that's the case here, you understand. I was just worried for martle's reign as king of the messageboards ...)

In fact we note that the chord as a whole, regardless of its symmetrical arrangement about the inner F-sharp/G axis, contains the following absolute intervals: 2 semitones (interval class 1), 2 perfect fourths (interval class 5) and 2 augmented fourths (interval class 6), readily represented by the vector [0167].

Far be it from us, a mere Master, to clarify the work of Professor Martle, but we feel it necessary to quibble that [0,1,6,7] is is it not but a description of the Pitch-Class Set 4-9 as defined by Professor Forte, its vector being in fact 200022.

Notwithstanding this, we find that the principle of Professor Martle's post does indeed still stand.

Touche, young laddie! Nevertheless, we prefer our set-theoretical education to the mulings of the upstart American, Forte.  Grin
