Joe Pehrson has been doing a lot of adverstizing for my
_A Century of New Music in Vienna_ webpage:

http://www.ixpres.com/interval/monzo/schoenberg/Vienna1905.htm

so I just uploaded all the new versions of my Schoenberg
MIDI-files. The big highlight is a vastly expanded and
improved update of _Pelleas und Melisande_.

Thanks for all the hype, Joe!

Monz has just posted new versions of several midi files on his
excellent page,

http://www.ixpres.com/interval/monzo/schoenberg/Vienna1905.htm

And, since I had uploaded several retunings of the previous version
of Schoenberg's "Verklarte Nacht", I've gone ahead and uploaded new
retunings of the updated version.

To download, go to the egroups tuning file archive,

http://www.egroups.com/files/tuning/

Change into the JMids directory, and download the file:

verk-nac2.zip

Included in the original 12-tET, and adaptive tunings in 5-limit,
7-limit, and 11/13-limit. This last uses a tuning file which has some
provision for both 11-limit and 13-limit chords. As before, I'm using
fairly right vertical springs, meaning that vertical deviations from
exact JI are usually no more than a cent or two.

Monz, as always, thanks for all your efforts!

This really does sound better... particularly some of the faster
figures... but I am not exactly certain what all the changes are...
Monz?? I do note that there are more written descriptions of some of
the "programmatic" events of the piece... which are, frankly,
important to it, even though not frequently emphasized by anybody...

Not to be critical, but there still is a pretty good "chunk" of the
piece left to sequence.... I presume that's on Monz's project list...
