Which method of viewing music should I use?
Score Exchange has two methods to display previews of music: seView which uses regular html and javascipt and the Scorch plug-in from Avid which needs to be downloaded and installed onto your computer. Both have advantages and disadvantages:
seView
seView, is the most compatible option. You should be able to view music on all modern web browsers including most mobile devices. Even if your device does not support javascript you should still be able to preview at least page one of the music.
You do not need to install any additional software to use seView.
Scorch
Scorch is a free plug-in from Avid for displaying and printing music. It can also play the music that you're seeing. As modern web browsers are updated, Scorch is no longer compatible with many browsers. Scorch has never been compatible with mobile devices and some web browsers on Mac computers.
If your web browser does not install Scorch automatically, you can click here to download and install scorch manually.
Static preview
The static preview shows a basic image of the first page.
Interactive preview
The interactive preview also shows a preview of the first page, but it's a bit slower to load. The preview is displayed using the Sibelius Cloud Publishing technology from Avid. With most scores, this technology will provide a higher quality preview, as well as being able to switch to full screen mode and also play the displayed music to you.
Printing after purchase
After you have purchased this item the Cloud Publishing technology is utilised to provide the printing mechanism for the music. As such, we recommend checking that the Interactive Preview displays correctly on your device before committing to a purchase.

This was written for the school orchestra at Devonport High School for Boys, Plymouth, and essentially reflects the number of available players there at the time. It was quite a small ensemble and, for example, whilst there were two cellos and no bass, the first cellist, David Berdinner, was an accomplished player and so this is seen in the relative difference between the first and second parts. The piano part is somewhat more elaborate at times, but the whole thing can easily be managed by any small school orchestra, together with a grade 8 pianist. There is a slight hint of John Ireland’s Minuet in the writing and choice of key, but at that time we all tend to be somewhat eclectic.
Some short while ago, I was contacted by Johannes Schlesinger, of Hamburg, Germany, to tell me that his wife liked the piece, and that she would be using it with her Year 7 Musicians. It suited her instrumentation and resources perfectly, but husband, Johannes couldn’t help noticing that where there was a ’weakness’, it was in the layout. I totally agreed with Johann on this, as this was submitted back in 2001, and I know that ’layout’ wasn’t necessarily my strongest point (hopefully I have improved this area of my work over the years!)
Of course, Johannes is a professional music-engraver by trade, and so layout would be especially concerning to him. He kindly offered to reset my layout, which he has now done, and I think it looks so much better, and professional.
To find out more about Johannes, take a look at his website at Notensatz Schlesinger.
