Re: Composer Capacity
Hi Ralph,
The Vl and Sax Concerto I'm (hopefully) just finishing is 338 measures long and there are 23 staves, and I think both my Violin Concerto (mvt I) and 1st Symphony (mvts 1 and 4) beat that considerably. So the capacity is there, and I'm looking forward to the "Broadway 1960s Medley."
I have never got the question of whether I want to add that many measures, but I usually add only enough to handle the next phrase or set of phrases--makes it easier to find my place if I am copy/pasting.
all best,
mgj
