Thanks for the work here. Nice picture, handsome guy. Where's the link to a WP article on Kurwen hand signs for learning and teaching music? -- AstroU (talk) 16:12, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

Graphics

... changed the graphics. I think it is more appropriate to show the original page viii from the book Standard Course than Matthew Thibaut's assemblage with its substantial omissions and replacements. Carl Bergstroem-Nielsen (talk) 16:11, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

Obscure

In John Curwen#Tonic sol-fa, of Sarah Anne Glover's tonic sol-fa we read:

"Her Sol-fa system was based on the ancient gamut; but she omitted the constant recital of the alphabetical names of each note and the arbitrary syllable indicating key relationship, and also the recital of two or more such syllables when the same note was common to as many keys (e.g. C, Fa, Ut, meaning that C is the subdominant of G and the tonic of C)."
