Global Jukebox FIles Sought

Global Jukebox FIles Sought

2002-06-14 by mcgregor2play

THe following message relates to a classical work, but the Global 
Jukebox files also contained jazz and non-classical XG files. The 
possibility of finding and re-posting the non-classical selections 
may be of interest to the members of this forum.  So bear with me....

On the now-defunct Global jukebox web site (at least I can no longer 
find it), the pianist Philip Bush posted 3 MIDI file segments of a 
performance of Schumann's Piano Sonata in G Minor.  The fourth 
segment also may have existed but I did not find it in my search of 
the site. The total length of what I have is about 12 minutes, so 
I'm guessing that one movement is missing. The timings for the files 
I have are 5:04, 5:13, and 1:46.

(A number of recital pieces that were released on Yamaha Pianosoft 
disks also appeared on the Global Jukebox site. Of course they may 
have been alternate takes or even practice recordings. Philip Bush 
performs this Sonata on Pianosoft No 1176).
  
Did anyone else download the Global Jukebox MIDI files, and if so, 
do you have the missing Schumann movement?

I'll be glad to compare notes with those who have parts of the 
Global Jukebox files (classical, jazz, or any other category) and 
who may want to swap files or file identifications.  (This 
particular site produced different file names for each download of a 
given file.  I have the jazz files but failed to print file names 
for that particular search.)  It will be well worth the effort, 
because most of these performancs were recorded on a Disklavier by 
professional pianists, and were of very high quality.
