There is an English translation by someone here, and I’m embarrassed to say that I can’t remember who has done it. If I can find it in my files, I’ll send it to you.
Little confused about that one myself. The pan pipes are part of the insignia of my music fraternity, and I couldn’t see the connection…..
I was always a lamentable pianist, so much so that because of my fear of piano I actually stopped being a public school music teacher.
Since playing the harp, I’ve developed much more of a sense of placing and anticipating the appropriate motion between fingerings.
I absolutely agree that going from piano to harp is harder than going from harp to piano.
I bought a used 85P sight unseen and ear unheard, and the harpist/salesperson working for Lyon and Healy was VERY helpful. Her description of the sound of my harp (that was all I cared about) was conservative and accurate- I actually think the harp sounded better than she had described.
Even though she was employed as the seller, she had no good reason to be dishonest when she was talking to me about the instrument I was interested in.
I was very satisfied with my purchase and continue to be.
If you’re handy to a library, I think the harp part for Candlelight Carol is in one of the volumes of the Oxford Carols for Choirs, and you may be able to see the part there.
If you find it, you could probably photo copy it in a pinch but the choir books are smaller than 8×11.I definitely second that motion. I have a very nice Avee 36 that came from the discount section. I had the levers changed, but the whole setup was still under $2000. In my opinion, a very good deal.
Check the pre-owned harps on the L&H website. I have one that everyone including my teacher, loves. The price was a plus in purchasing it.
Lessons on a spinner, practice at home on a bench, no big difference, but I’m still fussing around with the ideal height of what I sit on and the difference between my Wurlitzer and my teacher’s massive gigantic Salvi.
