Dear Norbert Hoffmann,
Welcome to the IMSLP! We would like to thank you for contributing.

The Tutorial provides you a basic introduction to using this site. If you wish to contribute music scores, you will find all the details in the page How to Submit a Score. In addition to that, it is advisable for you to have a basic understanding of copyright law. In case you aren't able to find something you want to know in those pages, you can leave a note on the forums.
Please consider putting the Babel tags on your user page, to tell others which languages you speak. You can also use the Babel system to find users who speak a certain language.
You can communicate with other users by placing a message on their talk page (click on a user's name, and then on Discussion), just like I did on your page. When logging on the next time, this user will get a notification of a new message. Replying to these messages can be done on your own talk page, or on the corresponding user's talk page. Note that there will be no notification for the other user when replying on your own page. It's always a good idea to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~), which automatically adds your user name and a datestamp.
If you want to discuss something with the whole community, you can post a message in the IMSLP forums. For very important messages, please contact the staff directly via the IMSLP staff contact list.

OK! Norbert
Dear Mr. Hoffmann, I need to tag your piece Bieromanie for our new system, so that it comes up under searches that people might be doing.
You uploaded it as a sextet, but it looks to me like the percussion parts won't be done by one person, although I am not a percussionist myself. If I'm reading it correctly, the first movement would be:
Do I have this right? (Steltz)
Dear Mr. Steltz,
thank you for your interest.
In the first performance (october 16, 2005) we had one very advanced percussionist. In the first movement, the percussionist uses two different sticks at the same time; since the movement ist slow, it is possible to play the rhythms with one hand. But it could be difficult to change the sticks while playing - two or more percussionists will solve this problem.
I think the number of percussionists should be the decision of the performers. In case of 3 percussionists, your dividing of the percussion part is correct.
Norbert
Dear Mr Hoffmann. Just to let you know that we are systematically "tagging" all the works on IMSLP over a period of months, which will place your works in the appropriate categories (such as "Scores featuring the guitar"). In the meantime it is not necessary for you to manually include your works in the new categories (in fact this can have undesirable consequences, and is actively discouraged). Please rest assured that all your works will be included in the new system, which will not be fully operational until the spring — P.davydov 21:42, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
