Elan, one of my wonderful students, is working up the Telemann F Major Sonata for a very important audition. She works hard, is not afraid of challenges, and has a great new 1211 flute! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

The most common editions of this work are overly marked with articulations and dynamics. The original for recorder and figured bass is found on pages 1 and 5 of Der Getrue Music-Meister, Lectionen Nos.1-5 (http:\/\/imslp.org\/wiki\/Special:ImagefromIndex\/108357)<\/a><\/p>\n

It is important to try to find out the composers original markings when dealing with Early Music. The purchasing of Urtext<\/em> (original text) editions is highly encouraged, but for many this can be impractical. The vast public domain repertoire contained in the IMSLP\/Petrucci Music Library can be useful in this regard. However, the IMSLP scanned images can be almost unreadable or unprintable due to a dark background. <\/p>\n

First, let me show the final versions of the Sonata in B & W with a clear background.<\/p>\n

Telemann F major Sonata for Printing<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Telemann<\/a>

Telemann – Sonata in F – Vivace<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Telemann<\/a>

Telemann – Sonata in F – Largo – Allegro<\/p><\/div>\n

Here is the original scanned page one, Vivace movement. As you can see, it is not too easy to read and will waste a lot of ink or toner to print.<\/p>\n

\"Telemann<\/a>

Telemann F major Sonata – Vivace – original scan<\/p><\/div>\n

Here is an easy way of creating clean BW copies from gray-scale scanned images. <\/p>\n

1. Open the IMSLP .pdf file in a full version of Adobe Acrobat, not Acrobat Reader, or a similar program such as PDF Converter Professional. <\/p>\n

2. Select the first page that you want to work with. <\/p>\n

3. Select File – Save As and select Save as Type – JPEG. Make sure you note the location where the file is saved.<\/p>\n

4. Open the saved .jpg in Adobe Photoshop. Other photo editors will work, but will have different instructions.<\/p>\n

5. Crop the image to leave a slight border around the music.<\/p>\n

6. Go to Image – Adjustments – Replace Color. <\/p>\n

7. Using the Eyedropper Tool on the upper left, select an are of the background image that is a little dark. <\/p>\n

8. With fuzziness at about 44, use the preview to adjust the lightness level higher to get rid of the dark background.<\/p>\n

9. Click Okay to go back to the image with the alteration. You can repeat step 8. to carefully get rid of the dark background while keeping the staff lines legible.<\/p>\n

10. Use Save As to save the file. Giving it a new name will preserve the original file and allow you to find the altered file easier.<\/p>\n

11. Use Print and select your .pdf printer to save the file as an Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) file. <\/p>\n

12. Repeat for additional pages.<\/p>\n
