HELP! Needed

Hi.

I used to use Noteworthy composer at school about 3-4 years ago. Included in the origional back then was a really fast piece of music, sounded like a Piano Sonata by Mozart in a Minor key.

I have been trying for weeks to find that piece of music, if anybody knows what it is I would be very grateful.

Thank you.

There's one called 'Moonlight' by Beethoven which is a fast piano piece.  Could that be it?

Robby, the piece you are describing was indeed included in the 1.0 edition which Ertugrul iNANÇ sent to me. If you want it, e-mail me and I can pass it along (provided NoteWorthy Software feels the is not copyright infringement). It can still be opened in the latest version of NoteWorthy, but you have to switch the file listing to display "Song Files" instead of "NWC files" since its a NTW file.

Mozart's Sonata in A is not fast, nor is it in minor...

That's Beethoven's presto part of The Moonlight Sonata.  If I'm not mistaken, it comes with all registered versions of Noteworthy Composer.

What I was thinking of was Beethowen's Quartet No. 1 in F Major, Op. 18, No. 1 But now that I look at it, it's not fast either...

...the file listing to display "Song Files"
Why does NWC call everything "Song Files"? This particular piece of music is not a song. And neither are many of the other files included in the package or on the site. Like Caverns, Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, Il Barbiere di Siviglia (Overtura), just to name a few. When I right-click on my desktop and select New, one of the choices is NoteWorthy Composer Song. What if I want to write a string quartet, hmm? Maybe NWC 1.8 will stop calling them songs (yeah, right).

There was quite a discussion on this topic some time ago, either on the forum or on the newsgroup, I don't remember which. The end result was that no-one could come up with a suitable generic designation other than "piece." IIRC it was agreed that "NoteWorthy Composer Piece" sounds stultified and perhaps a bit snobbish, and "Song" was the most workable compromise.

That being said, if you have a better suggestion, NW Software has an excellent record of acting upon user suggestions. Who know, maybe your suggestion will find its way into V1.8!

What sounds stultified and perhaps a bit snobbish is oeuvre.
If "piece" is no good, how about "work" or "opus" or the ever-so-simple "composition?"

Œuvre is a normal term for that kind of piece, not at all snobbish, at least in French :)
Composition will not reflect the fact that many of these pieces are sometimes transcriptions --I suppose Composition means "composed by the one who enters it".
opus is more related to the printed edition of some pieces in the same kind of book.
work will make lot of people run away!
File is not so bad, after all. However, "Everything is file", so it won't bring any new notion.

Why not music files? However, I have some not-NWC files which doesn't merit to be named as music!!!!

Well, they had to be compositions to begin with, didn't they?
