Saul, thank you very much. Sorry I’m so late in saying thanks but I stopped checking for an answer about two or three days before you answered. Anyway, much appreciated.

[William Rinatti]

Okay. I’m asking as a composer, as far as advisable generic limits are concerned. I know it depends on the player, so I’m just looking for what is an advisable safe limit.

[William Rinatti]

Thank you very much.

Carl,

Thanks a lot for the help. Answered my question.

Take care.

[William Rinatti]

Thanks for checking. All my harp scoring books give different guidelines.

[William Rinatti]

[William Rinatti]

[William Rinatti]

Thanks a lot.

Are there any links to sample pages of your music at Carl Fischer by chance?

Guys, your solutions mean so much to me. I’ve been studying harp scoring for years and still trying to get a handle on harpists’ preferences. Here are the two solutions you suggested. Let me know what you think.
