Opus Clavicembalisticum

[danielsmith]

I have heard so much about his piece, but have not been able to ever get it. I would appriciate any help that anyone could give to tracking down Sorabji's 250 (or so) page masterpiece.

Thanks

Talk to Alistair Hinton, an esteemed member of this forum. He manages the Sorabji Archive, where you can get pretty much any Sorabji score.

You can find the entire PDF online if you know where to look.

Prepare for a proverbial earful from Alistair and/or Nils.

Indeed, Hinty has been known to bring down the full weight of the law on people who send pdf's of Sorabji.

The last person got 5 years in Wormwood Scrubbs and he is still frightened to go to the showers.

Why didn't you ask Maestro Thalbergmad directly? He would gladly have sent you highlights of the piece on the back of a small postage stamp. Innit, Thal?

[thalbergmad]

You seen the price of stamps??

[thalbergmad]

Actually, the highlights can be written on the back of a postage stamp & i have just done it.

There is a part on the score that says "printed in Austria".
