Hi Rob, Kyle Forsthoff, University of Rhode Island. I've been taking some COVID time to go through and really rework my Delecluse etudes from the beginning, using your sticking overlays as a starting point. They are perfect for exactly what you intend- read through/rough learn the piece with your stickings, then make personal adjustments as necessary and fine tune. Bravo, a great product! There are two things I do wish these had though- 1) I wish they were big enough to overlay on the stand without having to use paperclips. But I suspect getting A4 transparencies in the US is probably more of a pain then it's worth. 2) I think it would have been really useful for #s 5, 10, and 12, if you had included how you grouped multi-meter bars (ie, 2+3 or 3+2 in 5/8s, etc). This would be a great benefit in those many cases where there are figures that are ambiguous within the meter, so depending on how you grouped a bar, that single Sf ruff might be on a downbeat or an upbeat, which would then obviously effect phrasing. Just a musing of mine. I also wish there was one for Test-Claire! Great job again, and many thanks. Stay safe!!! -K

thanks for all the feedback, kyle! i really appreciate it. next time we make an update to the stickings, we’ll keep this in mind.
Rob, this is so cool!
Wow. Your hand is beautiful too.
Neil art?
Can you do the same thing for the Carter timpani pieces?
that's a great idea. someone should do that.. but not me. :)
