Yeah, on the lever harp you just skip that part, but I must admit I prefer the other edition anyway, which has the Barcarolle in all flats (so you just play it in C on a lever harp) and doesn’t have all that extra stuff at the beginning.
There are slight differences in the other two pieces, too, depending on which edition you have, but nothing that makes a difference in terms of difficulty.
>I love the Barcarolle too, but for me it’s about a hundred times easier with pedals.
I can’t imagine why, given that there’s not a pedal in it, unless you have that edition which added all the glisses at the beginning.

Kreig, doesn’t the current edition have a page in front that explains them? My antique copy does.
Yes, those are nice. Here’s a youtube of “Moorish Garden”, the last piece:
Oops, don’t know what happened to the rest of my post.Andres is also generally considered a contemporary classical composer.
Just wanted to point out that there’s lot of interesting non-cliche music in many genres, so it’s worth investigating them all.
Oops, forgot to say it’s been many years since I saw the Berg, but I believe that included a facsimile of the MS.
There is an edition edited by Darrell Berg (Utrecht) which was published in 1992, and a Breitkopf edition by Hans Zingel, and also an edition by Lucile Lawrence. The latter two are still available from lyramusic.com in the US. I don’t know about the Utrecht edition.
Yes, from an email I received in 2008:
>For those of you that insure musical instruments and accessories only, our relationship with Eastern open up a myriad of new opportunities for your insurance needs. One of the products we will introduce to you soon is an affordable annual performance liability insurance policy. This will assist a number of musicians who are being asked to provide certificates of insurance while performing at hotels, hospitals, function halls or other venues.
At least, I got an email from them a year or so ago that they were going to start offering it. I don’t know for sure whether they ever did, since I’ve always just opted not to work in venues that mandate it.
Hi, Saul. With my dolly, which is the kind which just goes under the back feet (similar to the McKay type), that doesn’t really help because the problem is the width of the curve of the plastic base piece behind where the feet are. It just pushes the harp too far forward on the dolly.
For me it’s not the slippery cloth, but the big round slippery protusion on the bottom of the cover.
