Considering how all the PVG sheet music tends to look the same, I always imagined that it was some sort of industry by-product that doesn't involve the original artist at all. Like movies made into VHS tapes. I imagined some poor chaps sitting in some chamber at the end of a long corridor in a publisher's office building, doing the piece-work of having to listen to the respective latest chart hits or whatever the publisher considers a potential source of revenue at the time, transforming everything into a bassline for left hand & melody+chord rudiments for right hand. > I am fascinated > with inaccuracies and omissions in sheet music and how > those inaccuracies and omissions could affect the > "posterity" of a song. Although I share a general fascination for ... err ... different versions of songs and how changing details changes them, I must admit that I tend to get angry when I come across inaccuracies, esp. wrong chords or loveless arrangements like e.g. the BATII songbook one. | |
