[Menvi-discuss] Opera in Braille

[danalynard at gmail.com]

In addition to expense, each piece would probably need to be bound separately, since you couldn’t manage a huge braille volume on stage unless you had a music stand that could accommodate the book. If you read electronically, it would be impossible to see the music and words at the same time.

Subject: [Menvi-discuss] Opera in Braille

 

Hello,

My name is Yerko, and I am currently a doctoral student in piano performance at Mason Gross. I'm taking an opera analysis course this semester, and I need to prepare a music plan for an opera for the end of the semester. My question is the following. Do you know if anyone has made efforts to transcribe opera scores into braille?There seems nott to be anything out there, which seems to be a significant deficiency in braille music literature. My project is on Monteverdi's L'Orfeo, and having the opera transcribed at this point is not feasible. I thought I would reach out and ask if anyone knows of anything that is out there, and if not, why that may be. Please respond as soon as you can. Thank you.

 

Regards,

Yerko
