2003 updates

9/30/2003Updated the Discography.
8/18/2003An mp3 of the first movement of 'Unknown (Schreiber II)' has been posted on the Sounds page.

Fixed dead or broken links on the Links page. Added notation to indicate which sites are dormant.

8/16/2003Finally worked through the backlog: the various metrics pages now include complete data from all 279 recordings on hand.

There are now two pseudonymous performances on hand which I have not been able to identify. They are listed in the Discography as:
Unknown (Schreiber I)an Allegro LP from 1964
Unknown (Schreiber II)a Pickwick CD which pretends to be the same as the Allegro LP -- a counterfeit of a counterfeit!

Any leads would be appreciated.

5/21/2003Improved the Sections pages to make the highlighted performances stand out more clearly.
5/16/2003There are now so many pseudonymous performances (41!) I gave them their own page.
5/15/2003Yet more data added: there are now 266 recordings at least partly integrated into the database. The new data has changedthe appearance of several charts, particularly that of the opening, where I've revised the comments accordingly.

Note that the durations given for Asahina's last performances have been corrected. They had been based on the published (track) timings; but when I actually obtained the CDs I found that the first-movement tracks include applause, and lots of it.

4/13/2003 Reformatted the Discography, with the hope of making it a bit easier on the eyes. The Age page now shows tempo trends for the second and third movements as well as the first.
4/10/2003 The birthdates of many more conductors have been added to the database, which makes the Age page more useful. Several new discographies added to the Links page.
4/6/2003 A new page about the Recapitulation has been added. The Discography now includes exact recording dates whereknown. Anyone who can improve their precision is urged to do so.
3/19/2003Two more pages on Flexibility added. The three are best read in sequence -- there's a surprise ending!

Thanks to all those who responded to my request for feedback.

3/18/2003The beginnings of a proper Bibliography have been added to the Links page.
3/13/2003Lately some visitors have been spending a lot of time on the 'Sections' page, so I've made major revisions and additions.

I'm particularly curious as to what people think about these pages, and am making a special request that those who find them interesting please delurk and drop me a line at eroica_project@hotmail.com. Thanks.

3/9/2003Discography now shows when repeats are omitted in the Scherzo.
3/5/2003Discography now shows all four movements. 243 performancesnow on hand.
2/19/2003Revised Age page, updated Discography.
1/22/2003New proportions page.
1/10/2003Server problems resolved, so I should have some new pages up soon. Note on pirates added. More recordings added (there's 231 on hand now), which means more datapoints on each of the various charts.
