Music

​

If you have a music-related article, book, exam syllabus, thesis, publicity material, CD booklet or concert programme which needs a final tidy-up, I can help. My main specialism is in classical music, but I am also happy to work on other genres, including pop music since 1960.

​​

As a musician myself, I can offer:​

​

• an understanding of musical terminology and detailed analysis

• efficient checking of cross-references, such as excerpts (in any of the four clefs) and their in-text descriptions

• excellent comprehension of the countless Italian – and French, and German – performance directions

• the ability to spot errors in the finer details of work titles and composer names, such as rogue accents

• a thorough grasp of the performance techniques, parts and technicalities relating to a variety of instruments

• enthusiasm!
