Eve Adam, a.k.a. Harmonic Eve, formerly Phyllis Eve Weiler
|
I am also known as Harmonic Eve. Copyright was legally and officially obtained through the United States Library of Congress in 1961, before the days of the Internet. I was then known as Phyllis Weiler or Phyllis Eve Weiler. See my "Harmonic Eve's Ancient Pics" site if you're curious about how my name changed to Eve Adam. My piano solo presented on the next eight pages was copyrighted as #3 within the 14-piece piano suite "Afterglow." You are invited to make copies from your computer and perform the solo for your own pleasure or the enjoyment of others. There are no optional lyrics for this particular piece within the suite. Watch the key signatures and accidentals carefully because there are some sounds that might not be expected based on just the key signatures used. The title "Dabbling in Daydreams" is the guide to interpretation, as simple thoughts become embellished, and a sweetness is maintained throughout the piece. I would picture someone taking a relaxing walk along a scenic route while preoccupied with thoughts of love that change but do not disappear. This person appears to be trying to apply logic to feelings, and to imagine good outcomes that are still sensible. Each of the following pages has its own URL, and thus can be printed as a complete page. For this particular piano piece, the identifying title, composer name, and page number are included in the graphic of each of the eight pages. This means it is possible to keep track of the sequence of pages without printing the whole site page each time. You may save just each graphic and print it, fitting it to your paper page with your own viewing and printing program, and the pages will still be easy to keep in sequence. I did not realize the importance of this identification within each graphic when I presented my other musical items. Landscape orientation works much better than portrait orientation for this particular piece. Normal 8 1/2" by 11" paper is sufficient, as is the normal black computer ink. The background color will not show on your paper copy as long as you have the standard printer settings or if you print the graphics only instead of each whole site page. The numbers 7, 8, 9 and 10, showing at the right hand side of some of the pages, are from the original page numbers of the original manuscript. Sheet music pages may load slowly, depending on the speed of your Internet connection. They are photos of the original manuscript, copies of which were sent to the Library of Congress in 1961 for copyright protection. The stages through which this notation for the #3 piano solo has gone to get to you are the same as for the piano solo #13, except for the number of pages involved. This is what happened: 1) When I was a young stay-at-home mother, after making a rough draft of the music I composed, I placed each note by hand with a special pen and India Ink on the vellum original of my manuscript. This was in 1961 and the vellum is now so badly yellowed with age it is no longer usable to make copies. The duplication process required light to shine through the translucent pages. Now the original pages have lost their translucent quality. 2) In 1961 several blueprint-type copies were made, which now also have yellowed with age. Two copies were sent to the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. and would have been transferred to more permanent media at the Library. 3) In preparation for making Xeroxes in July of 2006, the manuscript was cut and divided into eight equal pages and taped to white background pages. In addition to the original manuscript, the printed title, composer name and page numbers were added for each page for this particular piece. This step was added because I discovered that there could be difficulties of keeping the pages in sequence for the OTHER pieces I presented earlier from the "Afterglow" suite. This would have been if a viewer would decide to print each jpg file and not a whole page at a time. For THIS piece, print EITHER a page at a time, or each jpg file of a manuscript page. 4) A Xerox of the badly yellowed copy of the blueprint manuscript was made now (in July of 2006) to get rid of the yellow in order to allow greater contrast. 5) Eight Xerox pages were scanned into my computer and adjusted for image size. 6) Eight images were e-mailed from my computer to my webtv address. 7) Eight images were placed from the e-mail into my MSN TV Scrapbook. 8) Page Builder by MSN TV was the site building tool used to create this web site. Now the eight sheet music pages and this introductory page can be viewed by any computer hooked up to the Internet. Harmonic Eve, July 23, 2006 |

This is a list of the titles in the "Afterglow" suite, as written by me, Eve Adam, when I was known as Phyllis Weiler. In case you have not yet guessed, there is the bare outline of a drama here. | ||||||||||||||
