usually has the space between the notes and the stems, especially in the "note-y" and fastsequences. If you want terrible sketch handwriting try to read John Williams' sketches!Less so Goldsmith but still not legible as Herrmann in his mid to late years (except forthe very end when he was very ill).Below is the ending of another work written just a few years later in 1931, and you willnote the improved handwriting.{Image http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/8602/r16a0001.jpg_______________________________________________talkingherrmann mailing list**********************************10-22-09:Talking Herrmann: UCSB Box 55 MaterialReply by: Bill Wrobel ()______________________________________________________________________Incidentally, I understand that Morgan/Stromberg thru Tribute are going to do Devil &Daniel Webster.

You might notice that towards the bottom thehorns and the cued-in trumpets and trombones "play" the Don Juan theme. I state "play"because the bolder-written horns definitely play it but the trumpets and Pos (lightly andsmaller written) are apparently cued-in, so they may or may not play the themedepending on what the composer desires at the actual recording sessions (or make138
